If it helps to put your mind at ease, in some parts of Australia Kangaroos are a pest. They are culled in agricultural areas and this treatment prevents some of the animal from going to waste. They're also often roadkill as they chase headlights at night.

Companies pay hunters around $1-$2 per kg for the kangaroo meat. An adult kangaroo can be upwards of 60kg (130lb). The meat is often used for dog food, but is extremely lean but a bit gamey tasting I've been told.

So, hopefully this treatment doesn't cause additional death of the roos, but helps to make their deaths less wasteful.
