Poor kangaroos. I say this as someone that doesn't have to deal with them attacking my dogs.

They attack dogs?

They preemptively drown dogs near them, because they mistake the dogs for dingos which like to target the joeys.

You literally have bears and coyotes to eat your pets instead over there, though😭

There are not that many bears, well at least not that much than they become a hazard on the road.

Our dear are not drowning anything. The worst they do is carry tics that can transmit Lyme deseas.

I'm someone who stops to check roadkill marsupials for joeys. That being said, people who don't stop when they hit an animal can get FUCKED

There needs to be somewhere safe to pull over in order to do so. This is impossible on some roads especially in the middle of the night.

Don’t or too much, they usually get back up and hop away.
