Default Hunt for man punching kangaroo

Quote:
THE RSPCA is hunting a youth shown punching and kicking a kangaroo unconscious in an online video.

The video was sent to the RSPCA in Western Australia and shows the youth using kickboxing-style attacks while his friend laughs and films.
In one scene the man pulls the kangaroo towards him and uses his knee to deliver a blow to the animal's chest.

Eventually the youth punches the roo unconscious although it is not clear whether the attack resulted in the animal's death.

"It's very disoriented," Mr McLeod said. "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."

F%^&ING HERO'S

Wonder how they would like it if I bowled them over in my car then started to beat the out of them.

I can't understand how people can do things like that :

they're lucky that it couldnt defend itself as it usually would.
i have seen first hand what a set of toe claws can do to a human chest - not pretty at all and can leave you dead if your not lucky.

It's times like this where they should bring in the good old "Eye for an Eye"...

If they catch him... he should not only be fined, but his face and name should be on the front page of EVERY Australian newspaper...

What a big man...

can't they trace the video to a ip address from the computer that uploaded the clip and then to a physical address?

Possible, but would need a court order.
An IP address can be traced to an ISP and the ISP could look up their logs to who was assigned that IP address at the time of uploading, but the ISP would need a court order first.

Mate i hope so. There have also been a few attacks on Koalas recently in QLD, where mother and baby are tortured to death - broken bones etc.. and decapitated. Reportedly a group of youths were seen to be the perpetrators in one incident. Very concerning behavior, needs to be dealt with, and no wrist slap because if not, it's just saying that it's ok.

Anyone who has ever studied psychology would tell you that it's almost a given that murders, serial killers and the like all tortured animals when they were younger.

Exactly 100% correct.

We need to get really tough in this now or else we will be ensuring that these kind of inbred idiots graduate to more heinous crimes.

It's like when the police commissioner decided to crack down on fare evasion in NYC for their zero tolerance laws. He said and I quote; "Not everyone who is a fare evader is a hardened criminal, but you can bet every hardened criminal is a fare evader". That was unbelievably one of their biggest successes at cleaning NYC up.
The point is, that we need to make people who do petty things like this accountable. Name them and shame them and send them to prison. Another thing, WTF is with these prisons? What kind of deterrant are they with cable, pools, game boy etc? Give them an 8 x 6 foot box they can rot in 23 hours a day and watch crimes drop as criminals become scared witless of the place.

The courts need to get tougher on animal cruelty offenders.
RSPCA do the hard yards to get a case, only to have the offender stroll out of court with a $400 fine.
Whatever happened to enforcing the maximum penalty?
Edit- Screw the $400. Start at a $10k minimum penalty and work your way up from there.

I am with you mate. Animal cruelty is one offence that should be stamped out. Those that are cruel to creatures that have no deffence are nothing but cowards.
