New blog on the MMCI website - Let's talk about teats - Check it out

Teat Sizes As joeys grow, so do their mouths. The older and larger the joey, the longer the teat end needs to be. A teat suitable for a 2 kg joey will be far too short for a 5 kg joey. Teat Shapes Different marsupials have different mouth shapes. A bat teat, for example, won’t suit a Red

Born on Country. Fighting for life.

As bushfires tear through our landscapes right now, kangaroos and other wildlife are running for their lives.
Burnt, dehydrated, terrified. Mothers fleeing with joeys clinging on. Families scattered.

And yet, even in the middle of this devastation, shooters are still out there killing them.

Let that sink in.

While wildlife struggles to survive fire, smoke, hunger and thirst, humans are still treating kangaroos as targets. Still calling slaughter “management”. Still pulling triggers on animals who have already lost everything. While dedicated rescuers are out there trying to save our iconic species heartless shooters are still trying to kill them unmercifully.

Kangaroos belong to this land.
They were born on Country.
They are not pests.
They are not products.
They are not disposable.

If we cannot even stop killing wildlife during a climate emergency and an active fire crisis, then something is deeply broken in our values.

This is not conservation.
This is cruelty layered on catastrophe.

Born on Country. Fighting for life.
They deserve protection, not bullets.

Merry Christmas to all the MMCI members who've done a fantastic job this year. A well-deserved cheer to you all.
And Merry Christmas all Wildlife Carers. Christmas day won't start with opening presents, it starts with feeding animals, making sure everybody is safe and healthy, and tending to those who are unwell. So, a huge thanks to everybody out there who's caring for our native wildlife.

Jasper, the red roo, reckons it's been a hot day. Keep cool 'cause Christmas day looks like a scorcher. So, remember to fill those water dishes for all our creatures great and small.
