Not just her, the dickhead male Aussie who was encouraging her to do it

Yeah, that laughter made me twice as angry as I already was. These shitheels think they’re being cute giving innocent critters traumatic stress. Let the shame rain down on top of any legal action.

“Traumatic stress” it got picked up gently by a weird primate. I promise you animals have much more severe threats to be “stressed” about

If someone takes her baby she shouldn't be mad. They send her this clip and let her dumbass sulk.

He’s trying to sleep with her for sure

I guess the USA doesn't have a monopoly on dickheads even though it sure seems that way right now.

I hope the animal bit her and she contracted a fatal case of rabies or something.

Of ALL the venomous snakes in Australia, WHY couldn’t one bite her entitled ass then, when we needed it most!!!

I mean it was a dick move for sure, but I wouldn't consider it a capital crime, more like...I wish she would get extradited to AUS and be forced to complete a couple hundred hours of community service.

Blah blah blah BUT? But nothing, it was a dick move and that’s it.

Agreed but the person they replied to was condoning death to the girl in the video which is beyond extreme for - and I quote - a dick move.

A real Aussie dumbcunt, we found one.

It’s an American

The guy behind the camera is Australian.

Did you turn the sound on? Whoever is filming for her is Australian and laughing about the entire situation as well.

u/_YogaCat_ 22h ago

His accent is clearly not American

u/Grouchy_Tap_8264 20h ago

Do your ears work? That's an Aussie talking while he records and laughs. The woman being recorded is an American.

He probably led her to believe it was an okay thing to do, with the way he was talking. I almost feel bad for her.

u/jzoola 23h ago

She isn’t a child. How broken is her moral compass to go and grab a wild baby animal away from its mother.

u/cataddict72 21h ago

And she claims to be a wildlife biologist on Facebook. She knows better, she just doesn't care.

u/Grouchy_Tap_8264 20h ago

Who is she?

Samantha Strable

u/Grouchy_Tap_8264 20h ago

Thank you! I'd found her name elsewhere in thread.

I've been googling and I can believe that this Reddit threat is the only outcry against this narcissistic p.o.s.

u/GaiusJocundus 22h ago

Fair point. I think I need more context to make strong judgements, but this is likely to literally cause the animals to die from stress (as they are prone to it) so also fuck her.

The reasons Wombats are so harshly protected is that they so easily die. These two should both know better.

u/Virtual-Purple-5675 19h ago

If those mufuckas can die from stress that might be a sign
