World Kangaroo Day (24 October) is nearly upon us! Animal Justice Party Victoria, Victorian Kangaroo Alliance, and Save Kangaroos on Mornington Peninsula will be holding an outreach event at the State Library Victoria. We hope you can join us! We will be holding a peaceful demonstration, holding signs and handing out flyers, to educate the public on the plight of kangaroos.
We know it’s tricky to attend mid-week events, so we will greatly value your presence no matter how long you can spare!
**Please note, guardians are responsible for any children attending the event and, because of graphic signage, it may not be appropriate for little ones**
