The state government has announced plans to extend a trial, allowing the use of kangaroo meat for pet food, for another two years.
A trial has been under way since 2014 to test whether waste from the control of kangaroos can be used commercially for pet food. Agriculture minister Jaala Pulford said the trial, due to finish in March this year, would now be extended for another two years, to test its sustainability over a longer period and to expand the area it covered.
