Search Continues For Kangaroo Shooting Culprit

BY IAN CROUCH

Hunter wildlife rescue volunteers are calling for tighter controls over access to Morisset Psychiatric  Hospital after a kangaroo was shot with a hunting arrow at the weekend.

Staff at the hospital found the young male with an arrow in it's abdomen on Sunday afternoon - it's the second time in two years the hospital's kangaroo population has come under attack.

Lake Macquarie Police attended the hospital but were sadly forced to euthanize the animal.

They're appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
