Starving kangaroos attacking people and pets (http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/WeirdNews/2004/07/07/528346-ap.html)
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - City residents were warned Wednesday not to mess with starving kangaroos bounding through the Australian capital in search of food, following reports that the desperate marsupials were attacking people and even pet dogs.
Wildlife authorities said the usually harmless, grass-eating Eastern Gray kangaroos are being driven by hunger from the drought-stricken countryside around Canberra, into the city of 320,000, where the town water supply has kept conditions greener.
The Australian Capital Territory Environment Department warned residents to beware after a woman was attacked by a kangaroo while walking her poodle in a city park last week and another woman reported a kangaroo had drowned her golden retriever in a pond and seriously injured another two dogs in an unprovoked attack.
The dogs had been swimming when a large kangaroo appeared on the bank and entered the water, according to owner Christine Canham. The kangaroo "held her under the water with its back legs and drowned her as we watched helpless," Canham wrote in a letter to the editor of the Canberra Times published last week.

Starving or not if the cranky SOB tried to drowned one of my dogs. He would get a quick lesson in opposable thumbs and there many uses. And one heck of a fight. :)
