SAD NEWS: Escaped wallaroo found dead on NYS thruway

[Guest guest]

1) I still am beside myself that someone here started the "Wild Animal Experience" (http://www.thewildae.com/) and has a petting zoo at $2.50/person. The poor animals!

 

2) Where on earth did this Jeff Taylor "purchase" the wallaroo? And get this...he wants to start a "wildlife education center." Then let's educate him: LEAVE WILDLIFE ALONE! It's quite obvious he's using the animals to make money and doesn't know a thing about wildlife living freely.

 

3) No one even called in when he/she hit and killed the animal. I myself, on the way down to Binghamton and back yesterday for a dog transport, called in EIGHT dead deer and ONE dead dog.

 

4) Look at the comments, too. So many people in our area (Upstate NY) are really pathetic.

P.S. The animal is probably better off dead than to be put in a barn and used in a petting zoo in captivity for all the bozos around here to touch and bother.

P.P.S. I've called Albany to see if the guy has a wildlife special license for exotics and non exotics. Waiting to hear back.
