UPDATE — Friday 19 Aug — 12:55pm … Jeremy Cordeaux offers $10,000 reward over kangaroo attack.
FIVEAA’s Jeremy Cordeaux has stumped up a $10k reward for any info leading to a conviction over the sickening kangaroo torture case.
“I was horrified when I heard about this story,” Jeremy said on Friday. “What sort of person would want to do that to an animal?”
“I will post a reward, I will put $10,000 – I meant it … I’d love to get these people behind bars, because you don’t want these people roaming these streets,” he said.
“Someone must know these people because they have not been discreet. They’re proud of what they’ve done.”

A dying kangaroo was stabbed with a knife, burnt with a cigarette and stomped on until its head fell off, while the cruel acts were captured on Snapchat, the RSPCA says.
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
A group of young men are believed to have hit the kangaroo with a car on June 10 and documented its torture on the social media app while it was still alive.
RSPCA South Australia has spoken with a 17-year-old from Adelaide’s southern suburbs about the incident and is calling for more information to help its investigation.
The RSPCA’s Andrea Lewis said the videos depict a “horrendous act of animal cruelty”.
“On the evening of the 10th of June it’s alleged that a group of young males has hit a kangaroo with a vehicle,” she said.
“These contain short videos of the animal being hit by a car and then a group of males stabbing the animal with a hunting knife in the head and then burning its eye with a cigarette while it was allegedly still alive.
“Then, once the animal has allegedly passed away, they’ve stomped on its head until its head came off its body.”
