A poor baby kangaroo had to be rescued from a post box by firefighters after it was found stuffed in a post box.
Rescuers were left shocked when they got to know that a tiny joey was stuck inside a post box.
According to official reports, the incident happened in Woongoolba, which is located on the Gold Coast of Australia.
It is believed that someone had stuffed the poor little animal inside and left the poor one to die.
The tiny joey was found inside a mailbox.
The Pimpama Fire and Rescue Service managed to save the joey.
The little one has been transferred to wildlife carers to make sure that the animal is fine and has not received any other injuries.
A statement was released by the Pimpama Fire and Rescue Service.
The statement reads:
A quick response from our crew, as well as Australia Post with the post box keys, meant the joey was out in no time. Pleased to report our furry friend is in the hands of wildlife carers.
It is still unclear who did this horrible crime.
It is also not known if the authorities will carry out an investigation to know who carried out the horrible attack.
This is not the first time such an incident had been reported to the authorities.
Earlier this year, a number of kangaroo abuse incidents have been reported to the authorities.
An incident that happened earlier this month included a poor animal being shot with an arrow.
Animal carers in the state of Queensland noticed several incidents, where people tried to hit the creatures for sport.
Michael Beatty, a member of RSPCA Queensland, Australia, said that most of the kangaroos that are targeted are injured and are left to die.
They end up suffering in pain.
Most of the cases are reportedly brutal, which causes a slow and painful death.
In a statement that was released by Beatty, they said:
We’ve had kangaroos and wallabies hopping around and sometimes it can take two weeks for them to be caught. It’s not like an episode of Game of Thrones, these animals aren’t killed immediately at all. They tend to be shot in the leg or just somewhere it’s going to linger and then the wound festers. Eventually they die from blood poisoning or infection.
If anyone knows who carried out the attack on the tiny joey or any of the most recent attacks in the country, please contact the authorities and help them bring justice to the poor animals.
