SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian animal welfare authorities launched a nationwide hunt on Thursday for a man filmed punching and kicking a kangaroo unconscious.

The video, which shows the man using kickboxing-style attacks on the kangaroo as his friend laughs while filming, was sent to the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in Western Australia state.
In one scene the man pulls the kangaroo towards him and uses his knee to hit the animal's chest and the man punches the kangaroo's face as the animal struggles to remain standing.
A final punch knocks the kangaroo to the ground where it appears to lay unconscious. It is unclear whether the attack resulted in the death of the animal, which authorities believe was injured, possibly in a car accident.
The RSPCA said it had launched a nationwide appeal to catch the men responsible for the attack and video.
"We are appealing to every media outlet in Australia to help us track down the cowards behind the vicious attack on this kangaroo," RSPCA spokesman Richard Barry told reporters.
"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," said Barry.
"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," he said.
Barry added, "The only real clue we have is one instance when the man filming yells that the kangaroo 'smells gay' and another when the assailant, after beating the kangaroo into submission, says, 'Oooooooh, I got you good, bitch! Burn!"
I thought all them little Cobham pricks had been slaughtered Manson style? Apparently some of them dropped out of school before the massacre and moved to Oz.
No shit. I was totally expecting a video to accompany this story.
"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."
Goddammit, Steve Irwin's ghost should come back and wreak mayhem on those uncool dudes. Steve Irwin's ghost should like ascend from a black ocean and he should have an entourage of marine ghosts and dingo ghosts. And they should just do fucked up sexual stuff to those Aussie bastards. Like, borderline gay stuff. If not borderline gay, then actually gay. Like Steve Irwin's ghost should just blow them or something.
And beating up an injured kangaroo is fucked up, but if it were a koala, I might have had to take a trip to the outback myself and sodomize those dudes with a contaminated boomerang.
