[Introvertebrate]

The Australian prime minister said: 'Take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there' when asked about the incident.

Too bad Momma Wombat didn't get a piece of Bimbo to chew on.

Things like this wouldn't happen if we had a wombat awareness month.

This is what should be done

Australian govt hunts her down, holds her against her will for the rest of her life at a secret black site, or get extradited back to Australia for breaking the law and sent to prison.

People like this are sick.

and she’s a coward too, it’s always people who do stupid things that are quick to turn of their social media, in this case her IG acct. They don’t have the balls to live up to their behavior; she’s a sick person. You’d think a self-proclaimed hunter would be proud of her wombat “work”

“Sam Jones, who describes herself as an “outdoor enthusiast & hunter,” made her Instagram account private Thursday after she was widely condemned for the video”

This is disgusting. That person makes me sick.

i don’t care what her side of the story is. How much attention and validation does a person need in life?

people who really love wildlife, find happiness sharing unsollicitated moments with nature. That moment is enough.

nature and wildlife is a privilege we have to witness. It’s sacred.

i just looked at pictures of her face while she’s handling the animal. Its a picture of shame. She’s left australia. I would be afraid of showing my face in public after such a stunt.

The video made me pissed, what goes through peoples minds when they do stuff like this?

The Internet was a mistake.

It's just a trend. It'll pass.
