Sign A Petition To Ban Cruel Kangaroo Experiment
March 11, 2011
A proposed experiment by the University of Wollongong in New South Wales has animal lovers seeing red, and a petition has been set up to voice disapproval over the experiment, which school officials have not yet decided on. According to the petition, the experiment aims to measure and study the farts of Kangaroos – which are notable because they don’t release any methane gas, unlike other grazing animals. The goal of the experiment is to see if data gathered can help in some way to reduce global warming occurring from methane output.
The cruel part of the study is that the experiments would have to be done by keeping the animals in tiny cages for nine months, where they could barely fit – causing severe stress that is said to affect the study’s results. Also, it is said that the study is unnecessary because it has already been done in the past.
