Ian, I think all normal people get upset at cruelty. It doesn't matter if it is to animals or humans. The people who do these kinds of things are ......just sick.

There may be some good news about this incident.
I camped at Bendeela the weekend before last, just before Australia Day. Since that is during the peak season, the bottom camping area was open, there were a lot of campers, and security was very heavy.
As I drove in, even though it is free camping, details of my driver's licence were recorded by one of the four or five NPWS people. Several times each day and well into the night security people drove slowly around the entire campground.
Someone from my group said on Sunday morning that the reason the very noisy group camped next to us had suddenly quietened down long after the time specified for turning off radios was because the security people had spoken to them.
On a purpose built tower near the top toilet block, there were several security cameras.
I don't know what the level of security will be now that the peak season is over.
Anyway the good news is that they seem to have caught the people responsible for the wombats' deaths. I asked the NPWS guy at the gate if they had been caught and he said that they had and that information about that had not yet been made public.
I hope what he told me was correct.
A similar incident overnight in Brisbane involving a number of small wallabies. :angrylock:
I don't understand it. Sorry I missed you again Ian.
We'll get it together one day Billy. :D
wheres that baseball bat Martin?
we need it here in Brisbane as well....
Catch them, hang the dead wombats around their neck and put them in a cell and leave them there for a week before trying them, confiscating their vehicles and then lock them up in jail for a few years with no parole.
