Adelaide man fined for shooting kangaroos

An Adelaide man has been fined after admitting to shooting kangaroos on his property without a permit.

An Adelaide man has been fined $1800 for killing three kangaroos.

Jeffrey Wait, 63, pleaded guilty in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court to shooting three western grey roos on his Hackham property between November and December 2014.

"It's very important that the community understands that protected native animals may not be culled unless the proper permits are in place," Natural Resources Adelaide spokesman Brenton Grear said on Monday.
