Anger over Kangaroos shot with arrows
December 22, 2007

WILDLIFE rescuers are appalled at the discovery of two kangaroos shot with a bow and arrow on the Mornington Peninsula.

One of the eastern grey kangaroos had to be put down after it was found hopping around Greens Bush in the Mornington Peninsula National Park with an arrow in its head.

Australian Wildlife Assistance Rescue and Education staff are still looking for a second kangaroo seen in the same area with an arrow through its upper leg.

A land owner saw the injured animals in nearby bushland.

AWARE member Paul Hackett said he was disgusted that there were people who were shooting the animals for fun.

"They're mongrels," he said.

"It's hard to believe that there are people out there just randomly shooting kangaroos with a bow and arrow.

"We had to put down one of the kangaroos, which was hopping around with an arrow through the back of its head and through its eye.

If they were doing their pre-season training in Kingaroy instead of the peninsula then I myself would shoot them with whatever I had handy at the time as well. hahaha and isn't it ironic that the one that had the arrow through the head was still hoping around not even realising it was hurt, suffering and almost dead...just like the club itself....
