Some of the buggers had their faces chewed off by foxes and pigs etc. I think of I were that roo, I'd prefer to lose a nut or two

Have seen a few emus around the ‘Ridge with their legs wrapped around the top wire over the years..

But no more than two?

Don't have to go that far out. Checking my boundaries a few days ago I noted two locations with a kangaroo hind leg with a bit of dried meat still adhering held by the top two wires and hanging down. A scattering of bones was nearby.

See roos hanging in fences all the time, at least 1 per week. The lucky ones are still alive and get a quick death, its the ones that get stuck for a week or 2 before they die of starvation or killed by foxes that you really feel for.
The little ones get stuck in the ringlock trying to squeeze through....

Hi,
Only seen it once, in the Flinders Ranges.
It must have been an awful death judging by the scrape marks on the ground.
Perhaps our smaller wallabies don't jump fences, we see plenty of tracks pushing under fence wire though.
Cheers

Why not remove the barbed wire and just use other strands, so the animals don't get trapped?
