Kangaroo Survives Arrow Through Head

Posted by Miss Cellania in Animal on May 12, 2009 at 10:39 am


Wildlife officials are expecting this kangaroo, found shot through the head by a crossbow arrow, to fully recover. The roo was found last Thursday at a park in suburban Melbourne. It’s possible that he may have been shot up to a week before being found. He has since been under the care of veterinarians at the Melbourne Zoo.

Wildlife Victoria has posted a Aus$10,000 ( US$7,600, £5,000) reward to find the person responsible.

Wildlife Victoria spokeswoman Fiona Corke, said the kangaroo was rescued just days after another kangaroo was found with an arrow in its rump in the same area.

“It’s just unbelievable, I can’t believe that anyone would do something so cruel,” she said.

    Big deal. Kangaroo's are hunted/culled/killed by the ten's of thousands.

    But then again, the article does mention about them culling thousands..... sigh.

    @Vonskippy

    You hunt to kill, not to torture. Whoever it was probably botched the shot, unless it was a total idiot and actually aimed for the head.

    Yeah, it sounds like this huntard was pretty sloppy, they should be able to track him down.

    Probably a visiting corrupt Argentinian or an abusive Saudi.

    Or someone who just came out of their WoW hut after logging too many hours.

    They're going to monitor it for three weeks to make sure it's healthy enough to be culled. Heh.
