豪州には十二支の固有の哺乳類はいませんが、鶴も亀もいます。ところで日本では強毒鍋鶴の取り扱いに苦慮。特別天然記念物より食い物の家畜が大事。鍋鶴は中国、ロシアから勝手に飛んで来て田畑を荒らす害鳥だ。鍋鶴の名の通り、日本では昔から鶴を、亀や鯨同様に食ってきた。日本の食文化と伝統を守れ!

Hooded crane
Sat. January 8 : fine
No animals in Chinese zodiac are native mammals of Australia but cranes and turtles. Talking about cranes people are quite anxious about how to handle the highly virulent hooded cranes in Japan. Farm animals for food are being more important than special natural monuments. Hooded cranes flying from China and Russia are harmful birds for Japanese because they damage the fields and crops. We Japanese have been eating cranes as same as eating turtles and whales for a long time. Protect Japanese food culture and tradition!
