Stolen wombat

What sort of person steals a baby wombat from its mother and leaves it in the road? The Australian prime minister has suggested that next time she tries to steal a baby crocodile!

@EsmaCannonball "she tried to sue PETA when they rejected her for a job."

Oh my god, talk about an ego!
My friends DH has just been turned down for a job at an Amazon warehouse, I'd better tell him to crack on and sue Bezos then.

I see this selfish twat of a human is now sulking about all the hate. It’s deserved. It’s all “me me me” with these nob heads isn’t it

MrsMitford3 · 14/03/2025 16:48

Just like the baton wielding track athlete suddenly the perpetrator gets interviewed-crying all over the television and social media with pathetic claims they are the victim and everyone is being mean to them.

No self awareness and no accountability.

Yes, they don't know any other way to behave!

I’d completely missed this story.
The Guardian article says she’s a ‘hunting influencer’, so she can get in the sea as far as I’m concerned.

Her sister has filed 300 discrimination claims and received USD$350 000 in settlements. Based on that, claiming discrimination by PETA isn’t surprising.

No wonder they call America the suing capital of the world 🤦.

Hmmm. If one was so inclined, it isn't hard to pose with dead animals whilst wearing something approximating hunting gear. Given that wild pigs, for example, can actually be quite dangerous, her clothing and hair seem remarkably well preserved for someone who claims they killed it in "hand to hand" combat with a knife. I suspect, especially given the fact that she couldn't handle being just a packer for a hunting firm, that fantasist is closer to the truth than influencer.

She's described as a "Hunting Influencer" which probably explains a lot.

She's a ''cunty''influencer.

Vile woman.

I How would she feel if an animal took her baby?

Soubriquet · 14/03/2025 17:29

It’s a pity the echidna wasn’t a male(?) and didn’t thighspur her. Male echidnas are venomous

Deedeesharpwhatkindoflady · 14/03/2025 17:39

Hopefully the next wild animal she fucks with rips her face off.🐅

MrsTheodoreLogan · 14/03/2025 17:44

I cannot fathom why they did not prosecute and deport her.

It looks to me like she hot footed it out of there before they had chance.

Pity it wasn't an inland Taipan she decided to pick up. 🤬

Absolutely heartbreaking seeing mum wombat running down the road desperate for her baby.😥

I would bet my bottom dollar that there is a taipan and/or a large horned animal somewhere on this planet that will done day finish her off. As Taylor Swift famously sang 'you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes'.

Picking up distressed wildlife will never end well for this daft woman.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 15/03/2025 11:34

Soubriquet · 15/03/2025 10:48

Talk about trying to dig a hole! She should have just apologised instead of coming up with this bullshit excuse

warning cos someone will bitch about it, yes it’s a daily mail link

And totally contradicts the caption from her video about finally getting her "dream" to hold a baby wombat.

AdoraBell · 15/03/2025 11:35

Hope the “wildlife biologist “ will be banned to return to Australia.

@Dabralor Play stupid games, win stupid prizes is very apt indeed. I broken the phrase showed up in print in the 90s. But that’s neither here, nor there, hopefully this is a life lesson so let’s not wish harm for others.

She’s fled to Thailand now…and the government have warned she may have caught mange (kinda hope she did)

I’m surprised that this young woman in question was allowed to enter Thailand or travel with a type of skin disease. Unless she got it in Thailand? 🤔

SD1978 · 18/03/2025 21:48

I still can’t understand why all the vitriol seems
to be aimed solely at her. There was a man there with her, egging her on, and also laughing about what she was doing.
