An Australian teenager is charged with killing 20 kangaroos, which he allegedly mowed down with his truck in a killing spree that lasted an hour
Kangaroos usually doze among the trees by day and wander the streets at night to graze on watered lawns.
The dead kangaroos, including two joeys, were found littered over roads in Tura Beach, 450 kilometres south of Sydney, on Sunday morning. Police said Wednesday the man, 19, had been arrested and charged with animal cruelty offences on Tuesday."We take incidents such as these very seriously and anyone who engages in activities such as these will face the full brunt of the law," Bega Valley chief inspector Peter Volf said.
"It was a very unpleasant sight," resident Rob Evans told the ABC. "Police see an awful lot of things, but you could see that they were shocked as well."
