Punish Man Who Tortured Possum

Animal Petitions.org
March 15, 2016


A new Zealand man apparently approached an entrapped possum in a tree and hit it numerous times with a hammer before taking it out of the trap and stomping on it's head with boots.

In the recorded video of this incident, the perpetrator zooms in on the possum's twitching and bleeding body as he slams the hammer into it.
The man can also be heard telling the possum that he can't let it get out alive.

After throwing the possum's carcass into the riverbank, the man then moved on to attack other possums on video.
He can be seen shooting a possum out of a tree shortly after the first incident.

This sickening episode documents the nature of a heartless and brutal person.
This person began recording before he perpetrated violence, meaning it was not an impulsive act.
He planned and prepared to brutally kill this possum while recording every bloody detail.

This demonstrates the kind of dangerous callousness that we need to be cautious of in humans, since it is also a likely indicator of abuse against humans.

The crime is punishable by up to three years in jail or a $75,000 fine in New Zealand.

Please sign this petition urging authorities to seek the maximum penalty for this dangerous and heartless human.
