Yes, Kitty Litter, it would be nice if we humans quit making war with one another. That said, the kangaroo, had obviously bonded to the woman behind the camera, which makes if dangerous to return to the wild. Modern wildlife rehab sanctuaries try very hard to NOT let them identify with humans, as without that natural fear of humans puts them in danger of being killed, or even not know how to forage on their own to learn how to survive in the harsh world outside that protective fence.
It’s human nature to love and nurture these babies, but can be a real dis-service to the animals. They ARE really cute and having fun chasing each other, but the little deer, or whatever, certainly didn’t want to be a part of their games!
