***WARNING***

Do not read this blog if ya get upset easily...

Sorry, but I just had to do this blog...cos ever since I read the following article at work I've been so angry...so upset...and just sick to my stomach.

I love animals so much & I truly do not understand how people can do stuff like this. Again please do not read...it is distressing...the article contains details of what was done to poor defenceless creatures.

An animal-torturing gang is responsible for bashing three koalas and dumping them in a Brisbane rubbish bin, animal advocates say.

Animal rescue workers were able to save two of the koalas - a mother and joey - after they were discovered by a man walking his dog in Jim Akers Park, North Brisbane.

But the third koala, also a joey, died after a ferocious beating with sticks and stones.

The incident is the latest in a series of horrific attacks - recently, live magpies were found nailed to trees in the same area.

RSPCA spokesman Michael Beatty says the same group of young men were behind both the attacks.

"From what we understand there is a gang of hoons, aged in their twenties from the Kallangur area, that are behind this," he said.

The RSPCA is struggling to come to grips with several other recent acts of animal cruelty.

Last month someone cut the wings off a crow and left it to hop around a car park in the Brisbane suburb of Sinnamon Park.

Other reported cases include live cane toads pinned to trees, poisoned possums, cats carcasses left in their owners' cars and two stabbed dogs.

"These are really vicious cases that are deliberately calculated and cruel," Mr Beatty said.

"When you look at the case of the crow, someone has actually held this bird down and sawed off its wings ... it's just sick and disturbing."

The RSPCA is calling for tougher penalties for cruelty to animals, and for more criminal convictions to be recorded against perpetrators.

"When you look at animal cruelty it's one of the key profiling tools used by police to indicate the potential for further criminal activity," Mr Beatty said.

"But if and when these cases come to court there has been a tendency for magistrates to be lenient and not record convictions."


This is Toyah. Who could hurt a sweet little animal like this???

Hey Suze,

i almost stopped reading when i saw the warning...but i read the whole thing...

I can't help but wonder what would cause those .....people, and I use that term VERY loosely, to think that would be acceptable behaviour? That ISN'T something you learn on television, or the movies.

That is downright disgusting. I hope the bastards behind these attacks are caught and sent to jail for life. Because seriously, its innocent animals today, and innocent people tomorrow.

Not only is that sick and wrong (on soooooooo many levels) but it is just plain creepy . . . .

The fact that someone could be so messed up in the head that they would do that . . . . Argh!!!! It doesn't even bare thinking about it!!!!!

I hoep that the police don't find these bastards but that someone else does . . . . That some one else should be equiped with several large sticks, a meat clever and maybe a nail gun . . . . See how they like the torture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG that is just horrible! Why would they do this to sweet little koala bears? They are animals and deserve to be treated well. I really don't like what they're doing to them!
Posted Aug 11, 2008 6:03 am PT
That's really horrible! How can they do that? We had some kids here that "played" football with a hedgehog last summer. That made some noise. We have pretty good laws against animal cruelty. Hope they catch those bastards! How are the laws over there? What would happen to the perpetrators? How can anyone do things like that?! Animals are cute and innocent. I love animals. I love them so much that I don't even eat them.

Koalas are so cute....
Posted Aug 11, 2008 7:22 am PT
Oh that is horrible!!! Cruel bastards!!! How they can do it to animals is really unbelievable!! Hope they are caught and justice is brought to them!!
Kolas are so cute and harmless nearly from what ive read about them! What some ppl can do just really i cant understand!!!

I skimmed through it. I can't read stuff like that. I'm not even near ignorant, but those kinds of things make me so depressed and angry and stuff that it ruins my whole day. But that's horrible. I don't get how people can hurt a poor, defenseless animal that hasn't done anything wrong.
Posted Aug 11, 2008 8:46 am PT
Alright...that is just nasty. How can people even think of doing this?? I don't get it
Posted Aug 11, 2008 9:39 am PT
OMG!!!! PURE EVIL.. NO FEELINGS.. NO CONSCIENCE.. a menace to society.. if they can harm defenceless animals, they r with no heart, which means they can do just about anything..
Posted Aug 11, 2008 9:40 am PT
Dammit Suze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just KNOW I had to read the article even with the warning!!!!!!!
OMG....I'm caught between wanting to cry over needless suffering, and the monstrous urge to find these "people" and personally cut off their balls or perhaps nail them to a tree by their breasts... or maybe just cut off a limb or two and leave them to rot.
These are the times that I really wish I wasn't an atheist Jew and believed in hell...because at least there would be some punishment.
And just think...if these sociopaths can inflict this kind of pain on animals, it's only a matter of time before they take it to humans.
I am totally disgusted and angered beyond belief.
We kinda joke about "The Wrath of Shazz" (harmless little me) but I swear to you, if I EVER got my hands on these people, they would certainly know, feel, and regret my wrath. I am literally seething. What's even more sad is that this is not an isolated incident. Happens all over the world.
If how we treat our animals is a reflection on mankind then I do NOT want to be part of the human species.
I'm sorry that you had to come across this news, and can certainly see why you'd need to share the burden of this knowledge.
I think I need to go hug my bunny and the dogs.

Suze I can't believe how sick those people are. What kind of sickos are they to torture poor defenceless animals like that? I was so shocked to read what they done to the koalas and that one died and the other two survived in a miracle in itself. I almost cried when I read all the horrible things this gang is responsible for. I don't want them to go to jail, I want someone to do to them what they did to these poor creatures.

**SOOTHING HUGS**

Ok I didnt read it cause I know I would have been crying at work and/or wanting to kill everyone.

Dude, I love your blog header Who did it? causette or nyaubaby?
Posted Aug 11, 2008 12:23 pm PT
Never mind my last question, I saved it and it's from causette
Posted Aug 11, 2008 12:25 pm PT
Suze, oh no! That is terrible, and I will never understand that! My cat was a victim of animal abuse/cruelty, some kids thought it would be fun to light all of the kittens in the litter's whiskers on fire and they were all melted down almost to the face. I am really sorry it upset you hun *hugs* it upsets anyone with a beating heart
Posted Aug 11, 2008 5:41 pm PT
Oh Suze,

That is just terrible.

How people can be so cruel is beyond me.

*hugs*

**hugs to all**

God thats awful, I really hate animal cruelty. The worse thing is that knowing our system, these bastards if they get caught will get a fine or a short prison sentence just to go do it again. How could anyone do that to an innocent animal again and again obviously showing no remorse. I hope they get there just deserts, in some ways I can understand human murderers more than these people, at least some have a sort of motive. Those poor animals
*hugs*
Posted Aug 12, 2008 4:12 am PT
OMG..thats awfull..i feel disgusted right now..some people have no feelings! the crow thing is so sick!!
Posted Aug 12, 2008 3:21 pm PT
I know...I can't stop thinking about it
Posted Aug 12, 2008 3:57 pm PT
I just can't understand how someone could do such an evil thing . To me cruelty to animals is just as horrific as cruelty to children, they can't defend themselves from their attackers. I hope they catch the thugs that have been doing this and give them harsh punishments. Punishment for this kind of crime needs to be much much higher than it is.
Posted Aug 12, 2008 9:05 pm PT
OMG SUZE!! that is discusting! aniaml cruelty makes me feel sick as well. How can people do that, what actually goes through there heads. They better go to gaol of something because that is evil. I HATE whaling to, it makes me feel sick and that i am going to vomit. Poaching aswell, how could someone kill an animal for a tusk or its skin! its discusting. how have you been?
Posted Aug 13, 2008 2:18 am PT
Should have stopped reading...but couldn't! Now I am sick to my stomach and screaming!!!
I just can't understand in my wildest dreams how someone can be so cruel. We as a society are way to lenient on these people. Eye for an eye if ya ask me!
Posted Aug 13, 2008 7:11 pm PT
Sorry!!!!!! Didn't mean to upset folks...was just weighing heavily on my mind...so I blogged

I'm okay Twin! xxx
