\u201cI can\u2019t imagine anyone just pumping pellets into a poor little thing like that. They don\u2019t move very quickly so it\u2019s hardly sport\u2026 I\u2019ve been thinking about it most of the night because it\u2019s very disturbing. You\u2019ve got people doing that to animals. It\u2019s but a small step to doing it to people\u2026<\/p>
\u201cWhy don\u2019t we do something like offer a reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person who did that. Chances are somebody did it while somebody else was watching. Maybe there was a witness, maybe there would be someone who is prepared to step forward and give us the information that would bring about an arrest and a conviction\u2026<\/p>
\u201cImagine surviving the bushfires and everything else that nature throws at these poor creatures and then some bastard comes along with an air rifle. I\u2019ll put $5,000 on the table for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person who did that. It\u2019s appalling.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
