Remember the Wombats Lost in Venus Bay – Help Us Find Those Responsible
While wombats are in the spotlight thanks to a recent influencer incident, it’s crucial to also address a much graver event that hasn’t received the attention it warrants.
In mid-February, approximately 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 18, leading police to believe this was a deliberate act of cruelty. These wombats were protected wildlife, and it’s imperative that those accountable are brought to justice.
