Today I was sickened to read that a kangaroo had her hind legs shot off.. yes, you read it right, SHOT off by some men who said they were hunting pigs on the evening of July 31st......
I cannot imagine the terrible fear and pain this poor creature went through as she "tried to get away on her stumps" as the article described...... I had been telling Tracey at work today that I have to be very careful and avoid reading the news too much in case I stumble upon some dreadful story but I brought the local paper home to read and there was this article...
Mercifully, a professional shooter reported the men and they were apprehended.. the MOTHER kangaroo was put down along with her joey which was in her pouch... and if that isn't the saddest, most heartbreaking story, I don't know what is...
I hate people sometimes.... was this an act of evil, or ignorance.. an accident perhaps???? I try to think that perhaps the men didn't mean to injure this poor creature so horrifically..... I HAVE to think that.... the alternative is too cruel....
