Slaughter – 100 Kangaroos and Wallabies
POLICE are hunting a gang of killers after the ruthless slaughter of more than 100 kangaroos and wallabies at one of Hobart’s most popular parks.
Tolosa Park ranger Barry Hosking made the grisly discovery earlier this week, The Mercury reported.
“I open the gate and the crows alert me to where the carcasses are,” Mr Hosking said.
“Whoever is killing the animals is doing their business under the cover of darkness. It is sick.
“There are hundreds of kangaroos in the bush here at night. But why would you want to kill them just for the sake of it?”
Glenorchy police inspector John Arnold yesterday said they were closing in on whoever has killed the marsupials near the Glenorchy tip and within Tolosa Park over the past few weeks.
“We are not ruling out the use of firearms but it is also apparent that dogs are being used to entrap the animals,” Insp Arnold said.
