Tourists at a zoo in South China pelted a kangaroo with bricks in an attempt to see the animal hop, but the animal was fatally injured, The AFP reported Thursday, citing state television.
The marsupial died after a few days after suffering a ruptured kidney, the report said. A few weeks later, another kangaroo in the enclosure was slightly injured in a similar incident, the report said.

The article doesn't say if the zoo employees did anything to stop the visitors from basically stoning the poor kangaroo to death. Zoo's in other countries should ban exporting any animals to zoos in China.

Mine too. My cat suffered from animal cruelty before she came to us suffering from severe abandonment issues. It's taken her a long time to learn to trust again. Her "beloved owners" moved away and left their house cat to fend for herself outside in the middle of winter. Grant it, San Diego has mild winters, but still, she had to learn how to survive completely on her own. Thankfully, for us, she did and allowed us the privilege of taking her in. She is so grateful for her home, We've had her almost six years now, and she won't go near an outside door. I suppose she is afraid that if she goes outside, nobody will let her back in. Long story short, people can be so selfishly cruel.
 
Perhaps leaving loose bricks available for abuse by zoo visitors is a bad idea.

We do a lot of rescue work, and I know how heartbreaking it is to find an abandoned animal, but the joy they bring when they know "This IS my forever home..." Priceless.
She is most lucky to have you and you her.
 
damn animals.


and NOT referring to the kangaroo.
 
I hope the people who threw bricks at that animal are criminally charged.

There are some horrible Youtube videos of tigers and lions in enclosures fatally mauling each other. In the wild, Asian lions and Asian tigers avoid each other if not live on different continents (African lions and Asian tigers)

Simple cruelty and some of the comments are from ghoulish teenagers seeing the animals as penis extensions.
 
People are assholes. See my sig.
