Concerns raised, including those voiced by animal rights and vegan activists, have limited the available practices by landholders in the southern Australian rangelands to effectively control kangaroos and, over time, the actions of these groups may threaten the existence of the livestock industry. This paper draws on interviews with key stakeholders and workshops with technical experts and red meat industry participants to identify strategies to respond to this potentially existential threat. Strategies include establishing platforms and processes for effective stakeholder engagement, establishing a unified and resourced industry ‘voice’ to effectively engage with government and other stakeholders, and ensuring that the industry self-regulates in order to avoid the potential for rogue elements to undermine its credibility and trustworthiness.

引起关注的问题，包括动物权利和纯素食主义者的关注，都限制了澳大利亚南部牧场的土地所有者有效控制袋鼠的做法，随着时间的推移，这些团体的行动可能威胁到畜牧业的生存。本文利用与关键利益相关者的访谈以及与技术专家和红肉行业参与者的研讨会，确定应对这种潜在存在威胁的策略。策略包括建立有效的利益相关者参与的平台和流程，建立统一且资源丰富的行业“声音”以有效地与政府和其他利益相关者进行互动，并确保行业自我监管，以避免流氓分子破坏其信誉的潜力和守信。
