GIRLS KILL BOYS LIKE YOU.
The RSPCA today launches a nationwide hunt for a youth shown beating a kangaroo unconscious in an online video.
This sickening video was sent to the RSPCA in Western Australia and shows the youth using kickboxing-style attacks on the kangaroo as his friend laughs while filming. In one scene the man pulls the kangaroo towards him and uses his knee to deliver a blow to the animal’s chest.
The youth swings his punches into the animal’s face with great force as the animal struggles to remain standing. The final punch knocks the kangaroo to the ground where it appears to lay unconscious. It is unclear whether the attack resulted in the death of the animal.
Steve McLeod, a native wildlife expert, believes the animal was injured prior to being attacked: “The kangaroo is very disoriented. It is very unusual for a kangaroo to fight like that as they invariably flee. I would hazard a guess that it has been knocked over by the car and injured. Certainly it has been stunned in some way.”
The RSPCA across Australia has joined forces to launch a nationwide appeal to catch the cowards who shot this appalling footage.
“We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the cowards behind the vicious attack on this kangaroo,” said Richard Barry, spokesman for the RSPCA in WA.
“Thankfully this sickening footage has now been removed from the website where it was first seen. The next stage is to ensure that those responsible for this film are brought to justice.
“Only a coward would attack an injured and obviously terrified young animal much smaller than himself. We want these cowards to be caught, charged and prosecuted.
“We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the culprits and we have also posted a photo of the youth at www.rspcawa.asn.au
The RSPCA also welcomes the support of the Western Australia Police in finding the perpetrators of this senseless attack.
“The RSPCA is sending a clear message that this behaviour is not only unacceptable, it is against the law.
“People might think posting videos on the internet provides them some anonymity but the RSPCA is here to tell those people that when it comes to animal cruelty, we have zero tolerance and we will use every resource to track you down.”
If you know the identity of the youth in the video, contact your local RSPCA.
