In a recent case, a man from the Victorian era was found guilty and fined a significant amount of $80,000 after 71 eastern grey kangaroos were discovered dead on his rural property. The 65-year-old individual confessed to causing the suffering and ultimate demise of these animals in Nathalia earlier this year. It was revealed that most of the kangaroos were shot, but unfortunately did not die immediately.

Among the deceased were two joeys, one of which sadly perished due to lack of sustenance after its mother was shot. The other joey is believed to have suffocated while nestled in its mother's pouch. It was later disclosed that the man had a valid Authority to Control Wildlife permit, but instead of taking matters into his own hands, he enlisted the help of hired shooters.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the shooters used inhumane methods, including non-lethal gunshot injuries. As a result, the man was charged with four counts of aggravated cruelty and pleaded guilty at Shepparton Magistrate's Court last week. This disturbing incident was brought to the attention of the Conservation Regulator Victoria by concerned members of the public.

Trained officers were dispatched to the property to conduct a thorough examination, where they stumbled upon multiple piles of dead kangaroos. It was evident that most of the animals did not sustain "instantaneous" injuries as required by law. A certified veterinarian was called in to assess the situation and determined that the adult kangaroos had endured a significant amount of pain and suffering before their passing.

The two joeys, on the other hand, experienced a slow and agonizing death after their mothers were shot. It was clear that the Authority to Control Wildlife permits have strict regulations in place, such as the use of approved firearms and ammunition, guidelines for causing immediate injury, and proper management of joeys and animals with dependent young. These regulations were blatantly disregarded in this unacceptable and cruel act.

We must continue to be vigilant and report any acts of animal cruelty to the appropriate authorities. Let us strive to protect and preserve our precious wildlife, for they too deserve to live a life free of pain and suffering.
