China Youth Network, Beijing, July 5th. According to the British " Daily Mail ", recently, surveillance video of an Australian football stadium (AFL) in Keynes, Australia shows that the kangaroos kept in the grass were restlessly jumping around, and then they crashed into the wire fence. According to relevant people, this behavior of the wallaby is actually due to being unable to withstand hunger and mental pressure. Local volunteers claim 80 wallabies have died in the past two weeks.
Video shows that in an Australian football field (AFL) in Cairns, the northern city of Australia, when a woman and her two dogs passed by, the wallabies rushed towards the wire fence.
Due to the maintenance and ongoing development in the area, the Keynes Regional Commission installed a wire fence. Because the original living land was flattened, the wallabies could only be temporarily kept in this fence, and it has been a year since then. The Cairns Regional Commission said they do not have the right to resettle these kangaroo , which is the responsibility local state government should bear.
Australian Kangaroo Association Chairman Nikki Sutterby said that due to the lack of habitat, these Kangaroos are forced to live in wire fences, under the double pressure from hunger and mental aspects, and are at a very high risk of suffering from illness.
Royal Animal Cruelty Association (RSPCA) staff member Michael Beatty said that despite the hunger of the kangaroos, the mental stress brought to them by the dogs passing by may be the culprit of the tragedy. Because these wallabies are prone to nervousness due to dog barking and the screams of children.
Mr. Betty suggested that local officials could patrol here regularly and fine those who came for a walk with pets in the area, which he believed was a good way to avoid the tragedy again. (China Youth Network Intern Editor Zhao Ziying Compiled and Report)
