CANBERRA, Australia — A court suspended a government program to kill 7,000 kangaroos on federal land near the Australian capital on Thursday, halting efforts to thin a mushrooming population of the beloved marsupials that authorities say are threatening endangered species.
Animal activists challenged the government’s contention that thousands of common eastern gray kangaroos must be slaughtered on Canberra’s fringes to protect endangered plants, reptiles and insects that share the grassy habitat with an abundant population of kangaroos.
