Article Abstract:

The hunters have however received a shot in the arm with a Zurich-based group, which has commended the hunters for ethical practices in their hunt. It looks like kangaroo hunting will be a sustainable industry with big shoe manufacturers being involved in the use of the kangaroo skin.
