7:18 AM - Kangaroo beating videotaped, youth sought Case Details Kangaroo beating videotaped, youth sought unknown, WA (AU) Incident Date: Thursday, Sep 11, 2008 Disposition: Open Case Images: 2 files available Case Snapshot: Case ID: 14563 Classification: Beating Animal: other wildlife View more cases in WA (AU) Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help! The RSPCA has launched an Australia wide search for a youth who was video taped beating a kangaroo as his friend looks on laughing. The video was sent to the RSPCA in WA and shows the youth using kickboxing style attacks on the kangaroo. In one scene the man pulls the kangaroo towards him and uses his knee to deliver a blow to the animal's chest. The final punch knocks the kangaroo to the ground where it appears to lie unconscious. The RSPCA says it is unclear whether the attack resulted in the death of the animal. A spokesman for the RSPCA, Richard Barry, says the organisation has launched a nationwide appeal to catch the men responsible for the footage. "We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the cowards behind the vicious attack on this kangaroo," he said. "Thankfully this sickening footage has now been removed from the website where it was first seen. The next stage is to ensure that those responsible for this film are brought to justice. "Only a coward would attack an injured and obviously terrified young animal much smaller than himself. We want these cowards to be caught, charged and prosecuted. "We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the culprits and we have also posted a photo of the youth at www.rspcawa.asn.au," he added. The RSPCA also welcomes the support of the Western Australia Police in finding the perpetrators of this senseless attack. Steve McLeod, a native wildlife expert, believes the animal was injured prior to being attacked: "The kangaroo is very disoriented. 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 this appalling footage. "We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the cowards behind the vicious attack on this kangaroo," said Richard Barry, spokesman for the RSPCA in WA. "Thankfully this sickening footage has now been removed from the website where it was first seen. The next stage is to ensure that those responsible for this film are brought to justice. "Only a coward would attack an injured and obviously terrified young animal much smaller than himself. We want these cowards to be caught, charged and prosecuted. "We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the culprits and we have also posted a photo of the youth at www.rspcawa.asn.au The RSPCA also welcomes the support of the Western Australia Police in finding the perpetrators of this senseless attack. "The RSPCA is sending a clear message that this behaviour is not only unacceptable, it is against the law. "People might think posting videos on the internet provides them some anonymity but the RSPCA is here to tell those people that when it comes to animal cruelty, we have zero tolerance and we will use every resource to track you down." If you know the identity of the youth in the video, contact your local RSPCA. Catch this cowardIn WA the number to call is (08) 9209 9300 In Queensland call 1300 852 188 In NSW call (02) 9770 7555 In ACT call (02) 6287 8100 In SA call (03) 8231 6931 In Tasmania (03) 6332 8200 In Victoria (03) 9224 2222 or email inspector@rspcavic.org.au Information will be treated as confidential.

Hi all,
Here are the other dogs in immediate need.

Ginger looks to be a boxer mix...she is with the people who found her, and she needs vetting. She had puppies on July 1st, all of which need good homes. Ginger seems to have a sweet disposition and is in immediate need of rescue, or someone that can care for her properly,

The dog below is Coco. She was left at a rent house by her previous owners. The man who rented them the house found her and could not bear to have her put down. She appears to have ring worm and he stated to me today that since he has been treating it ....it has gotten better. He vaccinated her himself, and unfortunately she is being kept on a chain. She is very sweet, and was a joy to be around the day that I went to take pics. She knows how to sit, and she is very attentive to her handler.

The next 2 dogs are completely vetted out including spay/neuter. I am not sure about heart worms though. There's is a sad situation. The black female puppy was thrown into a fence with a GSD, and the GSD was encouraged to kill her. Fortunately she did not get killed. They are currently being boarded at a vets office by the lady that found them. There's is a sorted story. A very nice lady found these two, in an area where she feeds strays. She has fallen in love with them, but she has 7 rescue dogs at her home and is unable to keep them herself. They stayed on the property where they were dropped behind a chain length fence that was shared by 2 business' the business belonging to one man who was nice and tolerant. The business belonging to another man who does not like dogs and believes that all pit bulls should be killed. He tried to have his GSD kill the female puppy, but she got away. He threatened to poison and shoot them...but fortunately he did not. The two were picked up by animal control, and taken to the shelter. When the woman spoke to the man who picked them up, he lied about them. I went to the shelter and found them on the day they were to be euthanized. I had found a place to take them, and the woman came to the shelter and got them out. We took them immediately to the vet where they stayed for nearly 2 weeks, they were given all of their vaccines, and spayed/neutered. The female is being treated for mange as well. The day of the transport I was unable to get a hold of the person that was to take them. She worked for the Humane Society in another state. Thinking that she was a safe place for the dogs due to her career, and the fact that I had checked with the Humane Society to verify her employment and that she had been checked out by them, I was pretty comfortable with the place that they were going. When I was unable to contact her, I called the Humane Society to see if she had been called in to work. I found out that she had been fired, and was told to go another direction with the dogs. I have recently found out that the rescuer was charged with 6 counts of animal cruelty and the dogs in her care confiscated. These dogs are very deserving dogs. The Male is just beautiful, and big...I would say that he is about 70lbs. The female is just a puppy, about 8 months old now...they are in dire need of good homes, as they are deserving dogs, who have had a run of bad luck

(Below is a letter to use for anyone that doesn't feel like typing up one of their own.)






July 16th, 2007

The Honorable Dan Clancy
Criminal District Court No. 6
Frank Crowley Courts Building
133 N. Industrial Blvd.
Dallas, Texas 75207-4399



Dear Honorable Judge Dan Clancy:

Please accept my comments regarding Deshawn Brown, the Dallas 21-year-old charged with animal cruelty for drenching his 10-month-old pit bull in gasoline and lighting her on fire on April 13, 2006.  I implore the court to consider the maximum felony penalties of ten years in jail, plus fines of up to $10,000. I ask you to ensure Brown undergoes psychological counseling and is barred from possessing, harboring or living alongside animals in any context.

Brown poses a risk to both animals and humans. The dog, discovered near an apartment complex at Preston and Belt Line Roads, suffered burn wounds over 60% of her body.  Most of her exterior skin layer was gone, replaced by slashes, stab marks, and burned flesh. (The attack happened on April 13th, 2006. The dog was found the next day on April 14th, 2006  in the woods behind the apartments; still alive, in pain and suffering.)

Dubbed "Mercy" by the Operation Kindness shelter workers in Carrollton who fought to save her, the little brown pit bull mix eventually succumbed (Sunday April 23rd, 2006) to her injuries. While Brown initially claimed the dog "accidentally bumped [the] grill and ignited herself," witnesses relayed a different version of the events leading to her death.

One woman told police and animal control officers that a failed attempt to mate Mercy with her dog resulted in Brown kicking his dog repetitively.   The concerned woman trailed Brown and noticed bloody gashes covering the dog.   Another man witnessed Mercy, engulfed in flames, dashing through the apartment parking lot.   He later saw Brown, gas can in hand.
Brown admitted he fabricated the grill story in an April 17th, 2006,  interview with officials. Brown is a liar and a thug, claiming "two guys he owed money" burned Mercy in retaliation.

But more importantly, Brown typifies sociopaths who view their victims as objects. They lack the empathy to see suffering or value in their victims.

Criminologists view the intensity of violent behavior (regardless of the victim's identity) as a precursor to future violence. In fact, the FBI red flags cruelty to animals when profiling murder suspects.

Serial killers such as the Boston Strangler, Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy practiced on animals before graduating to humans. Dennis Rader, notorious for the Blind-Torture-Kill murders in Wichita, Kansas, confessed to strangling cats and dogs prior to his sadistic spree.

I strongly feel, that had any of the cruel acts committed by the above listed offenders been punished in a more serious manner by the law to begin with,  that there is a strong possibility that many of the victims' families might still have the loved ones who fell victim to such offenders,  here and alive today.

In addition, domestic battery studies show abusers commonly torment or kill companion animals. According to a MSPCA and Northeastern University survey, 70% of animal abusers accumulated one or more unrelated crimes and nearly 40% committed brutal crimes against people. Animal cruelty is also a key trait in the American Psychiatric Association's profile for conduct disorders.

Deshawn Brown exhibits no remorse for the torture of a defenseless dog.  (And -it is my opinion that- the only reason Brown would be sorry, would not be for the torture of an innocent dog or for the horrible crime he has committed, it would be for the fact that he was caught and now he is having to pay the consequences for his actions.)

Thank you for recognizing the gravity of this crime and prosecuting this dangerous man to the fullest degree.

Sincerely,
