(ABC) A flash storm that ripped through parts of drought-ravaged Far West New South Wales has left a trail of death and destruction for two grazier families. Up to 400 kangaroos were found dead on Avondale station near Broken Hill, with the neighboring property left to clean up over $20,000 worth of dead stock. Tegan Langford said what began as joy and elation over the much-needed rain, later turned into
utter disbelief. Tegan and her husband David own Ktank Station, 30 kilometers east of Broken Hill. The Langfords, like many grazing families in the Far West, were desperately waiting for the rain that lashed the region a week ago. They did not know, however, that with the rain came a hail storm that killed more than 400 kangaroos and 150 goats. “We received 18mm of rain at the house, which we were over the moon about, but it wasn’t until a couple of days later that we realized how bad the damage was,” she said.

After being bought up in the country and seeing the destruction from Kangaroos, while the farmer is having trouble trying to provide wheat for hungry people, I am pleased of the culling by hailstones , it’s a pity it wasn’t done by shooters, more humane, I hate to see animals suffer, but I hate it more when human babies suffer more while dying in pain, which is done by the hundreds each day. And the MSMedia refuse to allow people to complain about babies dying terrible deaths.
