The video of "Mandy Kangaroo" raises controversy in Saudi Arabia... and the authorities are interfering

A video clip that was widely circulated on social networking sites sparked a lot of controversy in Saudi Arabia, due to people slaughtering a kangaroo and cooking it as a meal in the "Mandi" way.

The spread of the video led to the action of the responsible authorities, as the National Center for Wildlife Development announced its communication with the Ministry of Interior, to implement the regular and necessary measures for what these people committed.

The center issued a statement in this regard, in which it said through its account on Twitter, that what was filmed in this clip is a violation of the text of the environmental system, which prohibits killing or harming wild animals as determined by the system, and it is also in violation of the executive regulations for trafficking in wildlife and their products.

He also confirmed the license to import this object for the purpose of selling and breeding and not for the purpose of slaughter, stressing that the center seized this section at the time and coordinated with the relevant authorities at the Ministry of Interior regarding the implementation of the regulatory procedures regarding it.

The Center also called on everyone to familiarize themselves with the environmental system and its regulations to find out the violations and prohibitions contained therein, so as not to expose themselves to any legal procedures that may affect them.

This was a circulating video clip published through the account of a famous "Snapchat", which showed that a number of people in Saudi Arabia slaughtered the "kangaroo", cooked it in the way of Mandi, and then served it to eat.
