FUZHOU, CHINA — A 12-year-old female kangaroo in a zoo in southeastern China died after visitors had hurled rocks at her because of one thing — she wasn't jumping enough.
According to Chinese media, the 12-year-old female kangaroo was not hopping enough to amuse visitors at the Fuzhou Zoo in March.
To make her hop, some made-in China genius decided to hurl rocks at the kangaroo, and when zookeepers showed up to stop the hurling, her left foot was nearly severed. The zookeeper tried to stop the crowd, but the crowd denied they had done such a thing.
The kangaroo was later seen lying battered and hooked to an ivy drip in its enclosure, and the poor thing later died due to internal bleeding.
Veterinarians discovered after the autopsy that one of the stones had ruptured the animal's kidney.
For unknown reasons, the zoo said they plan to stuff and display the dead kangaroo.
This didn't stop these idiots from hurting the animals. Few weeks after the incident, a five-year-old male kangaroo luckily survived an injury caused by you-know -who.
The Fuzhou zookeepers stressed that these actions are against the rights of the animal and somehow people just don't get it and keep hurting them. The zoo now plans to install more security cameras hoping to prevent anything like this from happening again.
