The Australian owners of the pub were forbidden to host the kangaroo
For violation of the Ordinance, they face a fine of up to $ 2,000.
On the territory of the John Forrest national Park in Perth, Australia there is a small pub, where for 19 years every day for Breakfast come a few kangaroos. The staff know their customers “in person”, feed them granola and other healthy food. Thanks to this tradition, animals are always well fed and are supervised by, and the pub many visitors who can admire the kangaroos in the vicinity. However, this idyll will soon come to an end.
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.
The owners of the pub was supported by many. People have created two petitions — written and online, to influence the decision of officials. Just a day on the Internet signed left more than 2,000 people.
