Bleeding to death

ON AUGUST 14 my wife and I returned home to our property in Coondle West at 9am to find a recently shot big grey kangaroo bleeding to death at the end of the driveway near the house.

It was not there at 7am when I fed my alpacas and since the dogs spotted it instantly as they got out of the car, I have to assume it was not there when we left home at 7.45am.

The kangaroo might have been dumped or shot and left to die on our property or it may had been shot on an adjacent property and the badly injured animal made it a short distance to our house.

As the wound was through the eye it must have died in terrible pain as it had bled profusely.
