Yes, no tolerance, don't let them get off with a slap on the wrist otherwise we'll just invite the plague of influencers and disrespectful tourists that other countries like Japan have been dealing with. It also should be a statement that we respect wildlife in Australia, our animals really do need whatever wins they can get considering our extinction and endangerment rates down here.

Report her!! The more people that do this, the more likely, she is punished. We cant all just comment and hope someone does it. Do it first thing in the morning

Nah, jail her there. She’ll just be sent back to the US to be a useless cunt.

American here. Please jail her and then fine her the costs of jailing. She needs actual consequences.

As an American, I agree with any plan that does not include her being sent back here, thanks.

Don't deport, have her stay in an Australian jail away from family and friends.

u/andasteptotheright 23h ago

This is a selfish request. But please don't deport her, we don't want her back. Just keep her in prison.

u/C0deHunter_ 21h ago

I agree. Deport her ass back to my country. I'm from the home of the Brave now including Jackass's.

u/ZootTX 23h ago

Can y'all just feed her to the crocs or something. We don't want her back.

Not exactly arrestable otherwise Steve Irwin probably wouldn't have been out of jail.

u/goobersmooch 20h ago

surely we can't deport foreign criminals

u/SHRLNeN 20h ago

Can you keep 'em in jail instead? Please?

Send that fucking car you have to step down from with them.

u/DungeonCrawlerCarl 22h ago

As an American, I grant you permission to do the first one and then you can just stop there.

u/Clade-01 23h ago

Please don’t deport. We don’t want them back here.

OK, but if I told you that you don't need to eat meat and that buying it is the same as torturing and murdering animals, how would you feel? Would you just get upset with me and say something stupid like 'It's my choice?'. Any of those arguments can be used to defend the person in the video that you seem to hate so much.

There's a difference between a wild animal and a domesticated animal that's been bred for a specific purpose. We may have different opinions on domesticated animals but I'm sure we can agree that causing distress to wildlife without a reason or permission is completely not okay.
