What is a kangaroo farm?

A kangaroo farm is a facility where kangaroos and wallabies are bred and raised for commercial purposes such as meat, leather, and fur production. Kangaroos and wallabies are native to Australia and are commonly referred to as "macropods." While some kangaroo farms also have tourism programs that allow visitors to interact with the animals and learn about their conservation, the primary focus of commercial kangaroo farms is on supplying the industry with kangaroo meat, skin, and other byproducts. These farms are regulated by government agencies to ensure animal welfare and sustainability within the kangaroo industry. The meat of the kangaroos is mainly supplied to local and international markets.
