September 2017: 

Wildlife advocates and the Epping community have paid tribute to a mob of landlocked kangaroos in Melbourne’s north by tying a mass of pink ribbons with messages of love and hope to the fence where they await their slaughter.

Front line action organised by the Australian Society for Kangaroos halted the government cull of these doomed kangaroos on Friday 25 September and have vowed to continue their vigil at the site until the government agrees to their relocation.

As a tribute to the kangaroos who are now trapped inside highways and development on Cooper St, ASK has led a pink ribbon campaign resulting in the placement of hundreds of pink ribbons with individual messages adorning the Cooper St fence where they await their fate.

You can see more on this campaign and the pink ribbon tribute on the Australian Society for Kangaroos Facebook page at the link here.

The Australian Society for Kangaroos now has legal representation and is working hard to negotiate the best outcome for these kangaroos.
