Wild murderer: Man kills 98 kangaroos - police raise the alarm!

A shocking incident is causing a stir in Australia: a 43-year-old man was taken into custody by police because he is accused of shooting almost 100 kangaroos with a rifle. These shocking acts were discovered in early October in a military area north of Sydney, where the bodies of the marsupials were found. During the investigation, the officers also came across boxes of ammunition and bullet casings, which further reinforces the seriousness of the allegations. The people's newspaper reports that the suspect has now been charged with animal cruelty and several weapons were seized during house searches. Interestingly, police said they were unable to provide any information about the man's possible motives.

Strict laws to protect native animals

In Australia, native animals, including kangaroos, are generally under special protection. This is discussed in the article Tagesspiegel clearly, which points out that although the authorities issue licenses to regulate excessive kangaroo populations, the practice of any animal cruelty is subject to strict rules and is absolutely prohibited. Despite the possibility of hunting animals, shooting kangaroos in an unlawful manner without following strict regulations is a serious crime.

The suspect has so far been released on bail and is now awaiting a court date scheduled for January. The allegations are serious and the investigation shows that the Australian authorities will take decisive action against such shocking crimes.
