This was such a blatant disrespect and disregard for wildlife in another country and should absolutely not be tolerated in ANY country. It wasn’t funny or cute but extremely distressing to the baby wombat and its mother!! Not to mention we don’t even know if they were reunited. That baby could be suffering now because of her actions! She needs to be held accountable!
I love walking with dogs off leash but it is the wombats who must be considered. Their lives should not be put in danger so that dogs and people can have fun. It is their home and that must be respected.
These endless horror deaths of our wildlife on our roads are so emotionally traumatizing. Something has to be done to reduce or stop the road kill. There are ways to minimize these deaths. Please act now,
As a local wildlife carer I witness first hand the carnage caused on Wellington road..it is wildlife carers that are left to care for raise, rehabilitate and release the orphaned babies left behind when their mothers are killed..thankyou to all the wonderful wildlife rescuers like Lea out there 💜
I am a local Wildlife Rescuer and recently attended a pouch check on Wellington Road. Thankfully, it was a male kangaroo but both legs had been completely broken. It’s head was crushed and its tail had been degloved during the presumably heavy vehicle strike. I had to try and move this poor kangaroo further to the side of the road on a busy Saturday. There needs to be more done to alert motorists and protect the wildlife along this extremely busy road.
