For pet food, apparently.
Someone wanted pet food, so they ran over a kangaroo that he had separated from its mob, inside a fenced-off wildlife area. The person then attempted to bash it to death with a metal pole. Police officers found the animal in the boot of an abandoned car on Northern Road, Cranebrook, at 10:18 PM on November 14. Its ankle bone had been crushed, the left side of its body caved in with broken ribs, bleeding head and neck, and a bad concussion. Needless to say, they animal was sedated at the scene and put down a couple of hours after arriving at the verterinary hospital.
A nineteen-year-old teenager was later questioned over the bashing, and was charged with four cases of animal cruelty and tresspassing. He was given bail to appear in court on a later date.
It really does surprise me that anyone would do something like this. You'd really have to have a total disregard for the life and welfare of animals to be able to do something like this under your own free will. I can't help but wonder exactly why he did it. Sources say it could have been killed for use as food, yeah, but who would do that? I've never heard of a case of that happening - perhaps they could go buy a can of pet food, or if it needs be even some raw meat. I fail to see how anyone could make themselves do this sort of thing. I really can't.

Sounds as though he just wanted to kill something for fun.
if pet food really was the agenda then wouldn't he have been better off killing it rather than letting it stay alive and suffer? Makes no sense.
He should be shot.

It does sound like that.
Well if he's sick heartless enough to go kill some wild animal for pet food, I suppose he wouldn't mind letting it stay alive and in pain while he got it back to his house. Or... whatever sick reasoning he'd give it.

Wouldn't quite say that. I have no problem with hunting wild animals for food [provided it is done legally, humanely and not endangered species.], but torturing an animal is bang smack out of order. Absolutely no need for it whatsoever.
Hunting is actually a good method of obtaining pet food. Much healthier than that processed crap and no more ethically wrong than buying meat from a butcher.

You know, you have some excellent points.
I should learn to think as deeply as you do.
So you're right. Hunting animals for food's natural, and we need to do it unless we all become vegetarians. But torturing animals like that; not cool.

That is sheer madness. To run the animal over on purpose is just plain wrong, and then to beat it with a metal pole? It makes me sick. The description of the kangaroo's injuries made me wince, thinking about the unbearable pain and torture the creature had endured.
If we heard anything a fraction as bad as this incident done to a human, the person responsible would have a life-time sentence. All because it's an animal doesn't mean the person held accountable for the killing should be able to get away with it. And I believe you also mentioned this man was charged with FOUR cases of animal cruelty. How does tht not deserve a tremendous amount of time in jail?! I don't understand the way the world works. Call me a frickin' hippie, but I find it WRONG. scream

I don't think it would be much of a stretch to say that our laws weren't built on the basis that humans and animals were to be treated equally.
