Remembering the Wombats Killed in Venus Bay – We Need Your Help to Find Those Responsible
With the recent spotlight on wombats due to a popular influencer, it’s crucial to address a much more serious issue that hasn’t received the attention it deserves.
In mid-February, about ten wombats were intentionally run over in Venus Bay, Victoria. Witnesses reported seeing three four-wheel drives in the area on the night of February 18th, and police believe this was a deliberate act of cruelty towards these protected animals.
The local community is heartbroken over this incident, and we must ensure that it isn’t forgotten. If you were in the area that night, know someone who was, or have dashcam or CCTV footage that could assist in the investigation, please report it—anonymously if desired—through Crime Stoppers Victoria.
Let’s seize this moment to advocate for justice for these wombats. Please share this message to help bring attention to this vital issue.
