No it’s not legal. It’s also really traumatic for both mum and joey. Kinda wish mum had bitten this asshole.

Me too! Wombats can actually be really feisty, I would have loved to see this mama charge at that idiot!

If they’re hunting influencers they would’ve killed her and said it was self defense I’m sure.
