THIRD MURDER
A third dead, mutilated kangaroo in two weeks has been found this week at the University of New England.
All have been described by police and UNE spokespeople as disturbingly gruesome.
The mutilated remains were found inside the normally safe kangaroo enclosure at the southern base of the campus itself.
While the kangaroos are not domesticated and are quite flighty, they are kept as a large scale animal showcase, particularly for overseas visitors and students.
Acting Inspector and Crime Manager Stuart Gray, said this type of animal cruelty carried up to $20,000 in fines or up to two years imprisonment.
The kangaroo and deer enclosures are indicative of the affection UNE and the broader community harbours for the wildlife. The brutal animal attacks and desecration have shocked and sickened those at the University and the local community.
I just hope they catch this/them idiot/s, and lock them away.
Bloody creeps they are !!!!
