Had a thought last night at training (had lots of time since I am injured). How many kangaroos are in Australia? The amount of football boots made out of kangaroo leather is huge. Are their copious numbers of kangaroos in Australia or do the likes of adidas and Nike have their own kangaroo farms?

from department of forign affairs and trade,
"Their combined population size has fluctuated between 15 and 50 million animals over the past 20 years in the harvested areas, depending on seasonal conditions"
Thats a fair few. Don't they put them in burger as well.

Kangaroo skin is also used for the bag in bagpipes, I have a kangaroo bag on my pipes and had it for all of 25 years and its still going strong

Apparently they are impossible to farm because they can't be herded, can't walk backwards and the fences keeping them in would have to be too strong and too high!
However, surely they can be battery farmed in cages where they are chained to the floor. The whole barn might hop away though. I am sure that the powers that be have thought all of this through.

They managed to do it with velociraptors in Jurassic Park. Why not kangaroos?

They're also too stupid to be farmed, imagine a six foot sheep that could only go forwards and could jump three times it's own height but didn't have an insatiable need to go exactly where the closest sheep to it went...
