Environment ACT will not say if protesters have disrupted a kangaroo cull at Googong Dam overnight.
Six members of the Animal Liberation Group spent last night at the dam in a bid to stop the cull.
The cull began at the weekend, with plans for licensed shooters to destroy about 800 animals.
Environment ACT says because of the drought, the kangaroo population has reduced ground cover to minimal levels, posing a threat to the quality of one of Canberra's main water supplies.
The protesters have urged the Government to consider other methods such as fencing and have vowed to stay in the area until the shooting stops.
