While many people in the EU would like to have as much of the EU meat market to themselves and reduce imports from outside the EU, they fail to see the benefits that more international trade can bring. The EU is gaining strength in its ability to supply what are becoming specialty produce exports, for example non-gm foods, and can benefit from increased export opportunities that come from that and other EU initiatives. At they same time, members of their communities can enjoy the variety and health benefits that come from the availability of healthy nutritious foods such as the high quality game meat, kangaroo. As for the claim that it is not healthy, the harvesting and processing of kangaroo meat, especially that produced for human consumption is highly regulated in Australia, and there is an extremely high standard of compliance to the regulations in all commercial kangaroo meat production.
I regularly eat a lot of kangaroo mince, and the only time I have found it to not be in excellent condition is when it is past its use by date. Kangaroo steak is even better. While I don’t know about the quality of UK meat, I wonder where is any evidence of lack of hygiene in its production.
While many complain about young kangaroos being killed in the harvest, the truth is that culling solves the problem of the overpopulation of kangaroos, much of which is caused by agricultural development.
