Should We Be Raising Kangaroos in South Dakota

Kangaroos In South Dakota? These Jumping Jackalopes could be the economic breakthrough we've been hopping for!

Kangaroo meat is lean, high in protein, and delicious...just toss it in a crock pot with a little Cream of Mushroom soup!

South Dakota weather might be a bit of an issue for kangaroo farming but hey they can adapt ... after all they are basically just Spring-Loaded Deer.

With those big back legs, they'll be doing snow angels.

Think about the tourism potential! Forget Mount Rushmore...imagine "Roo Rushmore"!

Visitors can watch kangaroos bounce majestically against the prairie sunset.

We could have kangaroo races instead of horse races. The Kentucky Derby? Try the "Dakota Roo Derby!"

Why drive a pickup truck when you can ride a kangaroo to the grocery store? Gas prices would plummet.

And let's be practical – South Dakota already has everything kangaroos need: wide open spaces, plenty of grass, and who doesn't love fluffy things with a pouch!?

Plus, our state motto could become "South Dakota...You Can Hop Anywhere From Here!”
