Kangaroo Cruelty Case Hits the Frontlines of Western Australia
Three men are on the police run for allegedly making two kangaroos suffer and then dying, a grim parallel to a recent outback out‑rage where a driver wrecked a dozen emus in a four‑wheel drive.
Whodunnit?
Police released pictures on September 26 of the suspects from June and May incidents:
- A bloke brandishing knuckle dusters in a snapshot, cheeks flushed with the thrill of cruelty.
- Another suspect with his face pixelated and sporting a similar weapon on his hand.
Both were reportedly questioned by the Victorian authorities, who are now chasing the trio.
Why Is Everyone Watching?
The hunt came less than a day after a 20‑year‑old was hauled in Victoria for wrecking emus. The video that sparked a social media storm showed him plowing through at least a dozen of the bird‑like creatures, laughing and counting each hit.
Animal welfare groups described the footage as “horrific cruelty”. The young man is now expected to face multiple charges including animal cruelty.
What This Means for Queensland
The irony is not lost: Australia prides itself on the wild, yet this rash of animal abuse is shaking people at the very core of national identity.
In addition to the kangaroo law enforcement drive, the police are sharpening their eyes for any other suspicious actions that put the continent’s wildlife at risk.
