After a two year absence, kangaroo is back on the menu in New York even though there are few restaurants outside of Eight Mile Creek, an Australian themed restaurant in Manhattan, that features it. Only a certain species from Tasmania is still banned. With an estimated 60 million kangaroos (macropod marsupials) in Australia there is little danger of extinction, and it is the only truly organic, free-range food on the market.

Mountain Lion Shot & Killed Near Chez Panisse, Berkeley – San Francisco
Friday, September 3rd, 2010Sadly, a cougar was shot and killed by police while roaming in the residential area adjacent to Alice Water’s restaurant Chez Panisse. Was it entirely necessary to kill this animal? It seems that apparently the Fish & Game Department were too slow to react, due to the large region they cover with a limited staff, and in any case, they most likely do not carry the necessary tranquilizer guns and large nets required to deal with this type of situation. In addition, tranquilizer darts are often slow to react. Berkeley Police thought that it was prudent to kill the animal as it was leaping over back garden fences and presumably posed a threat to residents, homeless people and others.
