Local authorities signed a law that prohibits establishments to feed wild animals. To this end, the restaurants and cafes have installed surveillance cameras and a violation of the law, the owners could face a fine of 2 thousand dollars. So officials are trying to protect animals from people to force them to produce food in a natural way and, consequently, to maintain health and life in the wild. The law will come into force on may 1, 2018.

Despite these good intentions, the owners of the pub John Forrest Tavern and its visitors are going to persuade local authorities to repeal the law.

According to them, feeding a kangaroo — it is a long standing tradition.

Animals used to obtain all the Goodies (among other things, approved by a veterinarian) and to “communicate” with people. Besides, the institution kangaroos are under the supervision of, and if employees notice that the animal has a problem, they take him to the vet and personally pay for his treatment.

If to close the doors for unusual visitors, they will become aggressive. And not the fact that I will be able to feed themselves.
