Mongrels... :(
"Eight wombats have been deliberately run over and killed at a camping ground at Kangaroo Valley in the New South Wales southern highlands, police said.
Officers were called to the Bendeela camping ground on Saturday and found the dead animals.
Witnesses have told police they saw a white four-wheel drive driving around the area throughout the night but no-one saw the animals being killed.
It is believed they were run over sometime between 9:30pm on Friday and 8:30 the next morning.
Police have appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has further information to come forward."

that's a touch to polite for my mind...can't type what I want to in relation to a gutless mindless act such as this though. Here's hoping they catch the brain dead turd who did this, and throw the book at them.

Same thing happened at Bendethra in 2004, they caught that fwit, check the story here http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2004-04-26/court-fines-wombat-killer/175872 (http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2004-04-26/court-fines-wombat-killer/175872)

Whod run over a wombat?
Just thier cuteness factor alone you'd think no one would...like shooting a koala.
But I bet there's dheads out there that do that to,appalling

This is the work of truly evil, sick and disturbed thugs that do not deserve the privilege of being loose in society. There is no excuse. There would also be little doubt that their attitude to fellow humans would be little different, given the opportunity. One can only hope they are found and locked up for a long time.

That has sickened and saddened me...
And to imagine - that $#@%* is someone that we will be passing by in the opposite direction at 100 clicks one day... a killer with such lack of regard for life; or self respect....

They give 4wd drives a bad rep...But they are everywhere, not just in 4wd.....
-
Saw this on another forum and like users there have said, the article refers to a white 4wd being seen driving in the area, nothing to prove it was that vehicle. Saying it was seen in the area is a very wide statement. Who saw it, where were they? Surely if there were people camped in the area they would have heard something. It is all just too sickening to think about. The offender or offenders would be capable of anything. Just cruel bad people. Hope they do catch them. But as we know, once they go to court their paid mouth piece will put up some story and the magistrate will feel sorry for them and give them a rather hash talking to, that will teach them..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. There is really some bad people about. >:( Kevin

I read this thread this morning and all day I've been trying to think how I'd explain it to my little girl if we stumbled across something like this. Words elude me and my thoughts if I caught them in the act scare me.
-
I once saw someone run over a little spotted kiwi,deliberatly..and reported his number plate probably the north islands rarest.
I never did find out what happened to him but its equaly disgusting.
If you willingly take the life of an endangered species I personaly feel you should face worse penalties than murder.
The act itself is worthy of harsh punishment but to deny a species a chance to exist and the opertunity of future generations of enjoying and protecting it is without words.
Its akin to those Islamic state pricks destroying places like Palmyra when its gone it's gone
-
Very sad and makes me feel ashamed to be human when I see stories like this :-[
I hope they find them so they can be publicly shamed like Cecil the Lion killer where they can't show their faces in public.
These days I always record number plates etc of rowdy groups when out camping after witnessing the aftermath and major damage at a NP out West. Unforunately the offenders disappeared quick smart once they sobered up an realised that they may be held accountable. Incidently the area was subsequently closed by National Parks some time later as was only reachable via 4x4 and was deemed to difficult to manage. I have to wonder if they would have closed it if the Moron's had not trashed it earlier.

Disgusting, hard to believe human beings could do this to defenceless animals

If the witnesses did in fact see this happening, I hope they called 000 right away....the next day is not good enough.
And if you ever ring the police when there is trouble brewing while at camp, and they seem to not have any interest in coming out, mention that you believe there are firearms being discharged....that will usually get them moving.....obviously loud music isn't a police matter !!
Another trick ( especially during the day ) is to get your camera and pretend to take pics of people running amuck ( or actually take the pics )

yea let drunk ****wits with the IQ of a lemon think you have photos of them destroying the place... take the chance of your tent being flattened?? I'll pass..

I've done it....you obviously need to assess the people who are playing up....and how many ( if any ) backup you've got ..
I've only done it once, but one time when some young ones were acting like f***wits, I went over and told them I've already taken photos AND they were already uploaded to the cloud and the police had been called ( all bulls**t ) and they were quiet as a mouse for 4hrs and then packed up and left !

'firearms being discharged' OMG I do hope you are joking. In todays environment that is not a good thing to make up. Plus it could actually delay the Police. As soon as a firearm is mentioned the Police must take a different approach and this different approach takes time to organise and be equipped. So please, do not make up a story like that to Police. Plus just imagine what it would feel like to get a call like that and you are the one going to that incident. Not a good feeling believe me.
I still have trouble imagining how any low life could have done this to those poor animals. But then again there are a lot of these type of low life out there. Kevin
-
it gets scarey in remote campgrounds - its not uncommon for people to drive through at all hours of the night just 'looking' - quite unnerving - we used to get them at cotter campground and the campgrounds on the way to Thredbo. one night at samurai beach we almost slept with big iron tent pegs next to our bed after a bout of heckling from some wannabees having a little mini carnival on the beach - fortunately we had made it obvious we were taking photos of their vehicles before we made an impromptu trip out of the campground and back

Well said Kevin, posts such as this add little to the substance of this topic. The comments you have mentioned are all worthy considerations that the responding police will make en route to discovering the FALSE report of the discharge of firearms. Not to mention giving priority to a fictitious job. Just imagine the poor general duties coppers leaving a domestic early due to some fool making a false report of a lunatic shooting up a camp site??????? What the hell.
Cheers,
Disco teddy.

I'm not.....if I was in a position where we were being threatened, and a call to police was taken too lightly, for our safety I'm afraid I would do anything to get some action..

As others have said, very irresponsible to say firearms are being discharged when they are not. If anything, it would delay the police response.
At the very worst, it could divert very limited police resources from a more serious incident.

Well, what would you do if there were drunken louts doing doughnuts around your tent with children inside ??
And why did you make the above comment....are you trying to inflame a reply by making stuff up !
-

Call the police and tell them the facts. Don't make sh!t up.
Obviously you have never been called to an incident involving firearms. But you're obviously happy to have some copper worry if they are going to get home that night after you made up some bullsh!t story.

I would grab my precious family and leave the camp site, regardless of the time or what possessions I needed to leave behind. If the situation was bad enough to make false and miss leading reports then its bad enough to leave the place.
I didn't make anything up, just called it like I saw it.
Cheers,
Disco teddy.

I think you inferred I said something which wasn't what I said !
It's easy to say what others shouldn't do, but some things aren't as clean cut.......what if you yourself had already had 10 beers, so driving out of there wasn't an option ??
I noticed a few getting on the bandwagon and saying what a stupid thing reporting gunfire is, but no ideas of what they would do in the same circumstance ??
-
Agree, no need to make false or inaccurate reports, but how about we focus back on the topic now and find the bastards that did this and have ourselves a 'good ol' lynchin'.
-

This was your original post which inferred that you should or would exaggerate the severity of the situation to get police to attend quickly when in fact saying firearms are involved would probably slow the police response due to their need to take additional precautions or perhaps call out additional resources.
Well, what would you do if there were drunken louts doing doughnuts around your tent with children inside ??
Then to jusitfy your immature previous comment, you make the above statement. Unless you were camped in the carpark, most campgrounds I have used, this scenario would not be possible.
But what would I do, firstly call 000 then bundle my kids up and put them in the safety of my own vehicle until police arrived.

Immature comment....nah, I'm 56 yrs old !! :cheers:
You obviously haven't been to many campgrounds....I don't recall any campgrounds that have a carpark ?? In fact I have seen a car doing doughnuts around a tent ( no one was inside ), and I have also been at a campground where a gun has been fired several times, with no phone reception !!
I'd better retract all my previous statements, because I've been shown to be stupid for suggesting I would take any measure necessary for my families safety..

There idiots everywhere..I was up at Kroombit Tops on the weekend and there was a group of 4x4 people up there tearing around the park without any consideration to anyone else or anything else. I saw the carcus of at least one animal that was killed by one of these fools.. Probably didn't even know that he hit anything.....and then we wonde why certain areas are closed off. Fools

I'm with you Scarps, now PLEASE keep it on topic Kingbilly and Gronk - discuss it over a beer at a Myswag meet.
As a wombat orphan carer and having raised 4 orphans to release, I am appalled at this report and I would love to personally be involved in the meting out of an appropriate punishment for the scum culprits.
I'm also disappointed that with seemingly abundant witnesses to the behaviour on the night, that rego numbers or better descriptions have not been reported (I'm hoping that's due to ongoing and short-term investigations).
Cheers all and stay safe out there

What, so post can't go off topic on myswag. Bahahahahaha
Sorry, I will be a better little myswager in future ;D
Hope they find the culprits and are dealt with by the law and not the vigilante mob on here ;D
KB
-
Lol.....KB.....you crack me up.
The culprits would want to hope the police find them first as I suspect the vigilante mob could be vast and many.
ps. No myswaggers were injured in the creation of this thread, but thoughts go out to the 10 innocent wombats that lost their lives due to one ignorant moronic self centred arsehole.

I want to know what brand of 4wd could run over 10 Wombats and be still driveable ?? 8)

didn't even enter my mind. All the Dmax people I know like yourself, Nay-Dmax, Knoath, and I'm sure there others would hug a wombat (or swerve to miss) before they tried their 4by against a sump buster;D

Ok since you called KB :)
Yeah if I had a dmax, I certainly wouldn't want to hit a wombat. Would defiantly break something.

But I'm still angry about some douchebag killing said wombats, and I hope he/she gets caught, but in the meantime, I'm hearing other preventative measures are being put in place.
-
I have to admit living in Brisbane I don’t know much about wombats, but I do know hitting/running over any animal comes with its own pitfalls, but I have been told wombats is one of the animals you really don’t want to hit as it’s like hitting a large rock. So I’m dumfounded why anyone would want to do this over and over.
In regards to the comment by the Witnesses saying they saw a white four-wheel drive driving around that night is a very broad comment. Maybe this 4wd is guilty or maybe they aren’t, but broad comments like that give all 4WD’s a bad name.

One of the media reports was the witness saw the 4wd running over the wombats.......so who knows what really happened ??
10 Wombats dead..."presumably" run over by a vehicle....and unless someone actually saw it happen, pure speculation as to who or what did it ??

I'd joint the lynching mob to hut the shizenkopf ashlocks down though
