In latest human cruelty to animals, zoo visitors kill kangaroo by throwing bricks at it to make it hop
'There are countless ways that humans harm the animals with whom we share our planet. You might be able to forgive people who don’t know any better for wearing sunscreen that causes coral bleaching, for example, but other offenses are far more cruel and deliberate. One particularly heartless example of animal cruelty was recently seen in a Chinese zoo.
According to the South China Morning Post, visitors to the zoo pelted a 12-year-old female kangaroo with bricks and chunks of concrete, severely injuring her foot and rupturing her kidney. She died a few days later from her injuries.
The incident took place in the Fujian province’s Fuzhou Zoo. A few weeks later, one of the zoo’s young male kangaroos was injured in a similar incident.
Why would people throw bricks at these innocent animals? Apparently, they were trying to get the kangaroos to hop for them. It is not known whether anyone has been punished for this abhorrent behavior, but zoo officials have said they will install security cameras in hopes of deterring people from hurting animals in the future. They also say they will stuff and display the deceased kangaroo, although it’s not clear what point they are trying to make.'
