For every one Australian...

There are statistics that people who live in the United States might find comical. However, for many Australians, there are some facts that they just need to accept. I soon discovered a random fact that said, "For every one Australian, there are two kangaroos". I wanted the exact facts so I did a little research to be sure that this fact was true. According to www.cia.gov, Australia has 21,007,310 people since a count in July of 2008. This is a small number compared to the recorded United States population of 303,824,640 people; yet it is large if compared to Ireland's 4,156,119 inhabitants.
Kangaroos are twice as exciting as they may first seem, and that is a fact. It is hard to count every single kangaroo in such a huge area of land. One article I found, which was hilarious and sad, said the Greenpeace was trying to get people to eat more kangaroos in order to prevent global warming (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22562480-662,00.html). I don't agree with this article at all. It offered no clear reason that killing kangaroos would help the environment. The article jumped between different numbers of the exact population of kangaroos per population. They estimated that there were about 25 to 30 million kangaroos in Australia today. Unfortunatly, even if there were 30 million kangaroos jumping around out there, there would be still only 1.428074 kangaroos per person.
