Biased perspective in favour of culling

edit

"The conservation of the ecosystem calls for a balance, so if too many kangaroos have a negative impacts on it, this requires and justifies the management of the native kangaroo populations in conservation reserves. dingos are the only non-human predators to limit the growth of kangaroo populations."

Requires and justifies is a moral opinion, not a fact. Humans are the single greatest cause of habitat and species loss, logically we should be culled. Most likely what they mean to imply is, humans are more intelligent than kangaroos, so we have the right to kill them for whatever reason we see fit. However, there are many reasons to think that kangaroos and other animals experience the same physical and emotional sensations as we do, which is the truly important factor in moral considerations, not intelligence.

A species is a concept, it does not suffer. Individual animals suffer, in the same way humans do. --Kajatureta (talk) 01:42, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I don't think that was the wisest move. Large pieces of this article read like an advertisement for the kangaroo industry, largely because you copied that material. There's no mention of any criticism/opposing viewpoints, and there are several statements that are vague and sound biased. And really, the whole article needs to have other references cited to back up the bold statements made. Some of the sources are good (especially the government ones), but it's not enough. In addition, none of the sources are recent. If I get time, I'll try to tackle the editing myself. In the meantime, I'm leaving this message to let people know the article needs serious work done before it's up to encyclopedic standards. I encourage any steps taken to add some objectivity here.

Dear fellow wikipedians, when I stumbled across this article I decided to dedicate some efford in oder to improve it and afterwards removed the two tags (pasted with this entry) which were displayed. English is not my native language, so if there are any stilistic problems I appreciate help. I made an effort to eradicate the advertisement-sound of the text and provide some sources, however most governmental sources and really sound like something should be a) ″harvested″ and b)sold. If you have any suggestions how to improve this further, go ahead, I know it's not perfect jet. Greetings from GermanyLlydia (talk) 18:49, 17 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
