Letter to the environment minister Dear Peter Garret did you know one of Australia's most proud animal the red kangaroo is going into extinction, and I'm asking you why you aren't concern about it. To many idiotic people are killing the species for their leather and fur just explain why you and the other ministers haven't made a ban on killing for fur and leather. I just thought I think your doing a pretty bad job because you just can not see past your thick head the people are taking away animals from Australia, so I believe that you should make a law that you can not kill the animals for their fur leather and parts.
