Hi All,

Just posting this on the WA section of the forums incase people havent heard about it.

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21...896-948,00.html

A PERTHNOW reader has offered a $1000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a young man filmed viciously attacking a kangaroo.

The reader posted a message on PerthNow and also contacted the RSPCA offering the reward - and calling on other West Australians to boost the reward fund.

Several other PerthNow readers have pledged $500 amounts.

RSPCA spokesman Richard Barry said: "A member of the public has called to offer a reward for information leading to the capture of the individual seen beating the kangaroo.

"The offer is $1000 and the individual has called on other members of the public to do the same."

Hunt launched after video sent to Perth RSPCA

The RSPCA has launched a nationwide hunt for a youth shown beating a kangaroo unconscious in a sickening online video which was sent to its Perth office.

This disturbing footage was sent to the RSPCA in Perth and shows the youth using kick boxing-style attacks on the kangaroo as his friend laughs while filming.

Police say the man is shown pulling the kangaroo towards him as he uses his knee to deliver a blow to the animal’s chest.

The youth swings his punches into the animal’s face as the animal struggles to remain standing.

The final punch knocks the kangaroo to the ground where it appears to lay unconscious. It is not known if the animal survived.

The RSPCA refused to release the video in full, due to its graphic nature and fears it could spark copy-cat attacks. It also wanted to prevent the video being permanently posted onto other websites.

Wildlife expert Steve McLeod said the animal was probably injured before being attacked.

"The kangaroo is very disoriented,'' he said.

``It is very unusual for a kangaroo to fight like that as they invariably flee.

``I would hazard a guess that it has been knocked over by the car and injured. Certainly it has been stunned in some way."

The RSPCA across Australia has united in a nationwide appeal to catch the youths involved.

"We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the cowards behind the vicious attack on this kangaroo," WA RSPCA spokesman Richard Barry said.

As you can see - its sickening that some individual would hurt an animal. The link has pictures and video of the news reel. If anyone knows the person, contact the Police asap. I dont usually post here, but as an animal lover, I cant stand to see this happening. Worse is that, people like this moron grow up to be rapists, murders and thugs who prey on those that cant defend themselves.

The video is terrible - the guy holding the camera deserves a good beating with a cro-bar as well.

What is this country coming to.......shame that parents do not teach kids good old fashioned values.

Thats just plain disturbing...

Put that c*nt in the same cage as a full grown tiger, bear or just a large police dog then we see how tough he is...

Probably sh*t himself 10 times before gets eaten... for good.

oh and just because it was sent to WA rspca, doesn't mean it happened here..

That could be true Kylie - and im not trying to impose that WA is the only state that has morons like this. I have also posted this in the Vic section. My main aim is to get the word out, and perhaps people can keep an eye out for this fellow - its the only way justice will be done.

For example, its like the dog that was put in a baby basket and then trampled on by a group of teenagers in NSW a few years ago. I wrote to the police commissioner expressing my disgust and anger at it (i dont know what happened in the end, but the commissioner did write back saying that they are looking into it). I get the feeling that if the public dont take laws into their own hands, then cruelty to animals will keep going and soon those same people will be targetting people - it could be our parents, grand parents, significant other, kids, nephews, nieces etc.

I suppose I should post this news in other areas of the forum as well i.e NSW, SA etc - but will probably get warnings for multiple posts.

Put that c*nt in the same cage as a full grown tiger, bear or just a large police dog then we see how tough he is...

police dogs are god damn SCARY!!

i do all the garden and lawn maintenance for maylands police academy (where they keep all the dogs)

i see what they are capable of... :P

put him in the ring with a professional boxer... bare knuckle.

LOL

John Hopoate FTW!!!

Sick twisted f**kers. I hope they get hung from the town gates by their balls.

I'd prefer the WA Police catch the fks that broke into my house on the weekend.

I like animals and all but FFS, THE POLICE NEED TO FORGET ABOUT THIS SHT AND ABOUT HOONS ETC AND START MAKING PEOPLE FEEL SAFE IN THE FKNG HOMES AGAIN.

Agrees with Bubba..

As far as I'm concern, anyone caught red-handing stealing in any capacity, should have a big 'T' branded on their hand. That way, every person that they come across, knows full well they are in the company of a THIEF!

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
