I eat kangaroo, it tastes great and is all wild harvested.

Has anyone tried farming roo outside of Australia?

Often wondered about the viability.

There are also deers and stuff here in Europe. ;) But I assume that wild animals are just available at a fraction of what people (want to) consume every year.

Deer are ruminants, too. There is no a priori reason to assume that their digestive system should produce any less methane than that of cows, when they break down cellulose.

They’re hard to farm, because they can clear a 3m fence.
