'Disgusting' attack on kangaroo
Quote:
A SYDNEY MP has called for witnesses to a "disgusting" attack on a kangaroo that was tied to a car and dragged almost 20km.
Paul McLeay, state member for the southern Sydney seat of Heathcote, said those responsible for the crime should face "the full force of the law".
The incident took place last week, either late Tuesday night or early Wednesday, just outside Orange in central western NSW.
The kangaroo was tied to a car and dragged 18km along the Icely Road.
"Quite frankly this attack makes me sick to the pit of my stomach," Mr McLeay said.
"For someone to torture one of Australia's native animals like this is nothing short of disgusting."
The attack occurred as Parliament debates tougher penalties for cruelty to animals, with a proposal to double fines for aggravated cruelty from $11,000 to $22,000.
Perpetrators may also face up to two years' jail.
Police said anyone with information regarding last week's incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

There isn't too much that phase's me..But animal abuse like this is one of them.
I think once the kangaroo heals and is better, They should lock this dickhead in a room with the kangaroo...It would kill him.
