//Ms Jones, who calls herself an "outdoor enthusiast and hunter", was filmed picking up the joey by the road and running across it to a car, while its mother ran after them.

The man filming can be heard laughing: "Look at the mother, it's chasing after her!" The video, which was filmed in Australia, has since been deleted.

 

[She] then placed the vulnerable baby back onto a country road - potentially putting it at risk of becoming roadkill," it noted in its statement, adding that it remains unclear if the joey reunited with its mother.//

There are only two creatures in this story.  That arrogant ignoramus of a woman and the moron who laughed as he filmed the whole thing.  What is wrong withn these people?

The allure of social media "likes" seems to be the sad answer to your question.

Apparently, she has done this with other animals, too.

She ought to be deported...and hopefully she will be.

There are a whole generation of people who live their entire life out on social media, they cannot make decision or do a simple task without showing 'their fans'

I despair.  

She might end up the same way as several other 'influencers' - dead from taking selfies in very dangerous places.

//they cannot make decision or do a simple task without showing 'their fans'//

 

This isn't a 'task' though.  This is an act of blatant stupidity.

One hears of poachers/hunters with their rack of spotlights on their pickup trucks, I wonder if they'd be interested in the lesser spotted nutjobs?

-- answer removed --

They are today's human beings.

Enjoy.

I can't stand cruelty to animals.  What a total idiot that woman is.  She needs sorting out!  Please let mum and baby have found each other, alive!

Anyone who calls themself an 'influencer' already has a misplaced notion of their character,intelligence, and importance.

So this level of thoughtless stupidity is only to be expected. 

Hopefully it will lead to her deportation, and a rare opportunity for a little overdue self-analys. 

Not holding my breath though. 

//She ought to be deported...and hopefully she will be.//

Agree, after they borth get a good kicking.  Some people will only learn the hard way and if they are an "influencer" they wont be brimming with brains so a good slapping will drive home the message.

I'm  sure I read that she left under her own steam.

I read that she's already left the country ahead of being deported

I hope they haven't influenced anybody!

What a couple of selfish, ignorant  beings!

I hope the baby found its Mother OK. Sometimes if they smell scent of a human being on their young, they disown them. Let's hope this isn't the case.

Hopefully they will never be allowed to leave the US again

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, kept a wombat in his garden in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, but the fool didn't know how to care for it & it died. 😥 

This sickened me to the core. I hope she is never allowed into Australia again.
