Warning: This article contains details of animal cruelty that some readers may find distressing.
Another 40 lashes with a wet lettuce leaf for animal cruelty. RSPCA would have spent thousands in dollar terms alone getting this to court, let alone the lost hours cost, and this feral bogan (in a dual cab 4x4 - what a surprise) gets off with a fine that would cost less than one replacement muddy for his sick rig.
After a lengthy investigation involving Parks and Wildlife, RSPCA and witnesses, the man received a “formal warning” and a $718 fine.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A man has been fined $718 after he was caught on video crushing three plover chicks to death in a vacant Brisbane lot.
“As he is driving over the nest, the parents of the chicks were squawking and flapping their wings in a futile attempt to prevent it,” Mr Christensen said.
In interviews with Parks and Wildlife officers, the man said he wanted to move the birds away from the vacant lot for “development reasons”.
Parks and Wildlife said the three chicks were masked lapwing plovers and would have naturally moved from the area in a matter of weeks.
Masked lapwings are a protected native species that build nests on the ground, where they guard their chicks for about six weeks.
