Abstract

SummaryThis paper focuses on and summarizes the animal welfare impacts of kangaroo (Macropus and Osphranter spp.) management and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to a complex problem for the best animal welfare outcomes. A concern for the welfare of kangaroos was the main motivator for preparation of the National Statement which underpins this special edition. Importantly, given that the primary concern of veterinarians is the health and welfare of all animals, the Australian Veterinary Association welfare and ethics special interest group (AVAWE) and the conservation biology special interest group (AVCB) have endorsed the National Statement.
