nigel99 567 #1 Posted March 13 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-13/us-influencer-wombat-video-visa-under-review/105047538 A young influencer decided to take a baby wombat from its mother for her instagram. There’s been a huge outcry, but my favourite comment was from our Prime Minister. He said wombat’s are gentle creatures and that she should take a baby crocodile from its mother instead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She picked it up and then turned it over to her mother. I wouldn't pick up a baby croc, but have picked up a mountain & African lion kitten.

They are both facing animal cruelty charges. But Aussie takes a hardline on immigration. That only fans woman that came to do shows/ take virginity of lots of school leavers had her visa pulled and was deported (working on a tourist visa). At the moment being an influencer in Aus, you are in a vilified demographic and won’t get mercy, American on top certainly doesn’t help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There’s a strong culture of respecting wildlife and leaving it be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not animal cruelty brother. It was anmal stupidity. It is an example of today's "look at me influencer" society. Don't give a shit about anything but how to captialize on "likes." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
