First rescue case for the year...wombat HBC at Dixons Creek at 3am this morning...sadly she had already passed and her tiny pinky joey also...at least the person who hit her called, sadly most don't...while he was saddened that she couldn't be helped at least he can start 2025 with a clear conscience...please slow down...this road had signs everywhere about wildlife, especially wombats crossing this road...and if you do happen to hit an animal STOP as soon as it's safe and CHECK (not your car) then call for help...i hope 2025 is a year for a change in people's attitudes towards our wildlife....HNY peeps

The commercial kangaroo industry spreads a lot of myths about kangaroos. One of the myths is that kangaroos damage the environment by causing land degradation and soil erosion, and by overgrazing on vegetation. If only people knew the truth. Non-native sheep and cattle do a lot more damage than native kangaroos could ever do.

I don’t really like the things.
Things?
Kangaroos? Why?
Well because of this…
You don’t like kangaroos because they don’t understand what a road is?
Look at what the road is going through…Land…
An animal has absolutely NO idea what this is.
The only thing they know what is different is the texture under their feet.

Tell me…apart from a $50,000 guide dog, what animal has road sense.
None.
Dogs, Cats, Cows, Horses, Possums, Wombats, Rabbits, Sheep, Goats, Birds, Mice, Lizards Frogs… all animals get hit because, “they don’t know what a road is”

People tell us not to anthropomorphise animals.
So then, the animal hasn’t made a consciousness decision to jump in front of a car, because it doesn’t have that thought process right?
But we do.
We understand the consequences of jumping in front of a car, that’s why we don’t do it.
A kangaroo, has no idea what is going to happen.
You would think if they knew…they wouldn’t do it.

We have to stop thinking that these animals do this deliberately just to p**s people off.
The hatred towards these animals for doing something they have absolutely no consciences control over.
I have said this before, I question human intelligence everyday.

As the sun sets tonight so many animals will
Lose their lives.
Some instantly.
Some will take days, if not weeks.
I think every single day I get in my car, how many injured animals am I driving past that will never get help.
How many are laying off the road, down a ditch, in a paddock that are suffering.

Please, slow down a little on the roads.
And if you see something, please make the call.
We only know if we’re told.
We can only help them if we know.

I agree

Every night in Australia, kangaroos are slaughtered for the pet food trade, human consumption or because land owners decide that that’s what they want to do.

Permits are easy to obtain from the government and there are no regulations in this industry.
No Government body or RSPCA are driving around whilst these animals are killed.
No video footage. Nothing
SOME kangaroos are cleanly shot.
A LOT of Kangaroos are miss shot.
They are left with painfully horrific injuries. They are left to die a long and painful death.
For the females that are killed with pouch young, Joeys are ripped out of Pouches heads smashed against bull bars, stomped on or decapitated and then disrespectfully disregarded. These are what they call the waste products. For joeys that are still dependent on Mum, they will die.
This is all legal and happens under the cover of darkness.
All again to feed your pet or fill your stomach.

Thankfully, this grand old Man was not shot and left but he & his mob did have to deal with Cars, Fences and off lead dogs.
He was an old gentleman when he left this world but he did have a few injuries.
2 broken toes which had healed incorrectly. That would have been very painful. Also a badly damaged eye.
He was unable to get up and when he tried, he let out the biggest groan. Not a growl. I knew the difference.
As I placed the blanket over him, he relaxed into it and I let him go with respect and dignity. The sun was shining and his body warm.

As much as I didn’t want him to be in any pain with his previous injuries, I’m glad that his body wasn’t used for Pet Food. I’m glad his body wasn’t stripped of his skin to be turned into Soccer Shoes, a belt or a handbag.
I’m thankful that he wasn’t hit by a car and left to suffer on the side of a road somewhere or attacked by a dog. He decided when he was ready.

Thankfully, with the owners respect, his body went to the back of the property for his mob to say goodbye and his his body to return to his land.
He had been a regular visitor for around the last 6 years 🩷

To all our previous wildlife that is let down every single day….I am so very very sorry. We will keep telling your stories.
You all have a story.
You all have a face.
