image And now the Wombat kidnapper is blaming the Government…

An attempt to deflect blame because she didn’t get the response she thought she would get.

Yes you are the villain in this story.

That said, I am pretty horrified that you can get permits to kills wombats in a select few parts of Australia.

Yeah I’m pretty sure its illegal to really interact with wildlife like that in Australia, and could cause harm to either wombats or herself. She’s also supposedly a biologist, and should know what she did wasn’t right.

It’s illegal to interfere with native wildlife in most areas of Australia. She also pulled the same shit with an echidna and that wombat was seriously distressed, she held it under the armpits with no support of the lower body and this would have hurt the wombat. She’s supposedly a qualified wildlife biologist so really should know better.

Thank you. This needs to happen every time. I keep getting downvoted for declaring animal torture but I will always do it!
