Kangaroo attack caught on tape |The RSPCA is searching for a group of young men who videoed a kangaroo being beaten.
The video shows a person kicking and punching the kangaroo which looks to be stunned.
The animal tires to defend itself but is eventually knocked out as the person filming the sickening attack laughs.
Native wildlife expert Steve McLeod believes the animal was injured prior to the attack.
“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 joined forces to launch a nationwide appeal to catch the cowards who shot the appalling footage.
RSPCA Queensland spokesman Michael Beatty asked any body who knew those responsible to contact the organisation.
“Thankfully this sickening footage has now been removed from the website where it was first seen,” he said.
“The next stage is to ensure that those responsible for this film are brought to justice.”
In August, a koala was attacked and magpies were found nailed to a tree.
