    In fact...the ISPCA in Longford did NOT know about the incident when i phoned them!! so i did not waste time.

    and..it was the Dspca that was called...as in Dublin SPCA, the ISPCA is nationwide which is more appropriate in this case because they are for sale in Cavan.

    I just saw the video and news report of this on tv3 news. I actually burst into tears when I saw it. Absolutely horrific. They interviewed the birthday guy - he claims to have known nothing about it. The video footage is very disturbing, its blatant cruelty. I really do not understand what kind of a sick mind would think that there was anything funny about terrifying an animal this way. Sick sick people. That footage has left me very disturbed.

    +1 I just saw it on RTE News. I didn't plan on seeing that video, I can't handle watching anything like that but it was on when I turned on the TV. I'm so disgusted at what I saw. And to that idiot that thought it was funny to pretend to shag the kangaroo, that's probably the nearest thing to shagging anything he'll ever get. Fcuking idiot :mad: I'm so angry after seeing that. I hope to God someone gets in major trouble over this. Poor animal. Is it definite that it died?? :(

    I can't believe they showed the footage on the news, but hopefully it will bring those responsible to justice. What a horrible, horrible thing to do.

    I would like to put them in an enclosed cage, with an angry fully grown kangaroo.
    Some people do not deserve to exist.

    That is horrific, that poor animal. I can't believe they don't know where he is, whether he is alive or not. I am so sick of these stories.:mad:

    It worries me to see things like this get such publicity. I fear it will give other sickos ideas. And obviously there are alot of sickos out there cause that nightclub was packed an no-one seemed to try and help that poor defenceless animal:( How could it be that not one person stepped in to stop what was happening?

    Ignore that stupid remark. Theres a similar thread over in After Hours with equally as ignorant remarks so dont rise to it.

    I wondered that myself. The only conclusion I can come to is that the place was packed, people were drunk and it was a very sudden thing that happened and people didnt know what the hell was going on. Either that or the entire crew of that party were ignorant scumbags who just think animal cruelty is funny.

    I really just do not get it - how could ANYONE think that that was an acceptable, much less funny, thing to do. Im still completely horrified by that footage. It was so bloody mindless - it just makes me feel sick.

    I'd love if they were able to not pixelate out your man's head so everyone who knows him knows what a scumbag he is.

    The thing is - it was a 30th Birthday Party. Not some lads 18th.... Some people really need to grow up.

    If it was an 18th, at least you could say they were dumb, kids, eejits, niave....

    But 30 year olds - baffles me!:mad::mad::mad:

    It is part of a new trend, like the stealing of penguins etc. Nuala O'Donlon seemed pretty sure about where it had come from on Liveline.

    The Gardai are always saying that they cannot act due to a lack of evidence - there is plenty here.

    Does anyone know if the wallaby is still alive or not?

    There are so many different reports, some saying he is fine, others that DSPCA got him and he later died and others that he was given drugs and alcohol and he died.
