Russians Hungry for Australia's Kangaroos

CANBERRA, Australia - Russians are among the world's greatest
lovers of kangaroos particularly in sausages.
Russia is the biggest export market for the meat and offal of
Australia's beloved national symbol, spending $11 million on the
gamey flesh in 2004, according to trade department economist Tim
Harcourt said.
"Australia can't produce enough kangaroo meat," Russian importer
Igor Dorokhov told Australian Associated Press.
"We need 100 containers per month; Australia can only produce 25,"
he added.
Dorokhov, who runs I.D. Game Meats, said kangaroo was becoming
popular as a cheap, red sausage meat among the eight million
residents of Russia's remote far east.
Gregory Klumov, a Moscow-based Australian trade official, said the
scarcity of protein in the east was one explanation for the
marsupial's popularity in the region.
"Their threshold for 'Oh, I'm not going to eat kangaroo; they're
such fluffy and nice animals,' I guess, is much lower because there
is not much choice," Klumov said.
Up till now I still can't bring myself to eat Kangaroos coz I find
them really disgusting 
especially when you find Kangaroo poo
around your campus grounds all the time
