A group of teens have been caught by police following a very nasty act of cruelty on wallabies near Edmonton on the Southern side of Cairns. I'm glad these young people have been caught and have to come to terms with what they have done. Animal cruelty in childhood often correlates with even more serious criminal behavior as the individual matures. Hopefully they will realise how pointless this is and learn to appreciate and respect animals. Perhaps a couple of hundred hours voluntary work at an animal shelter or wildlife park is in order.
