LETTERS TO THE MEAN MINISTER

(Written by Chloe’s Real Life Classmates)

I have seen a kangaroo hit by a car and I am not happy about it. Please save the kangaroos near Westfield by moving them somewhere. ~ Matthew

I want you to put the kangaroos to live in the zoo. People do not look for signs and they do not pay attention to the signs and drive fast and kill kangaroos. ~ Casey

I don't want the kangaroos to die near the shopping centre. I am angry. Please move them to a safe place. ~ Lucas

I am concerned about all of the kangaroos near the shopping centre with no habitat. I am very angry about this. I would like them relocated to a different area. There is a big, great, free and open area on Phillip Island. I would like you to save the kangaroos in South Morang, struggling and fighting for food. ~ Casey

I am very angry about the way they have built Westfield over the top of the kangaroos' habitat. I would love the kangaroos to be moved to another area that has no plans for building any shopping centres, cinemas etc. How would you like it if you were a kangaroo and you were shot? ~ Lauren

The kangaroos near Westfield don't look happy. Please send them to a big island or somewhere safe. I would like an answer please. ~ Conor

I am upset about the kangaroos because I am so angry about them being trapped. If I was a kangaroo, I would want to stay in my habitat. Please put the kangaroos somewhere safe. ~ Allen

If you were a kangaroo, would you like to be shot? That's unfair to kangaroos and other animals. I want them moved to another area because they are getting stranded. Yours sincerely (means I'm being honest). ~ Vincent

I am sad that kangaroos are dying. If people laugh, I say ‘ What if you were a kangaroo? Would you like to be shot?’ I would like the kangaroos to be safe. ~ Brendan

I don't want kangaroos to die near Westfield. I am sad. It is a good solution to relocate the kangaroos. ~ Shaizaad

I feel really angry because kangaroos have been dying because people have been building on their habitat. ~ Dena

I want the kangaroos in South Morang not to get shot by people. I want them relocated. I am sad. ~ Brock

I feel bad because you're killing the kangaroos and I don't want you to kill the kangaroos. Please stop killing the kangaroos. ~ Stefan

I am sad because I don't want the kangaroos at Westfield. I think we should put them somewhere safe. ~ Brooke

The kangaroos are dying because they have been hit by a car, guns, dogs and some animals. I am angry. Please put them in a better habitat. ~ Rachael

I feel really angry and I think that should not be happening. How would you like it if I came around destroying your home? So please relocate them. ~ Makayla

I saw a baby kangaroo on the road. Please keep the kangaroos safe. ~ Jackson

I feel really bad about what's happening to the kangaroos near Westfield. If you were one, would you like it? Probably not. Please, do not shoot the kangaroos. Please, I want them to live a happy life. Please relocate them somewhere else. ~ Shannon

Keep the kangaroos safe and not shot. ~ Youssef

I am sad because I've been watching the kangaroos being run over and I don't like it. It's not fair. I want them moved somewhere else. How would you feel if you were a kangaroo and you got shot? I love kangaroos. ~ Lence

I'm so angry about the kangaroos dying. Please save the kangaroos in South Morang because if you were a kangaroo, would you like to be shot? I would think not. I would like you to send them somewhere else. ~ Tayla

I'm very angry at the people who take the kangaroos' home away. Imagine if you were a kangaroo and you had no food and drinks? Don't forget about your children. They might want to see the kangaroos. I'm really angry and sad. It feels like I'm going to cry. I want you to save (all) the kangaroos in the world and I want the kangaroos in South Morang saved. ~ Chloe
