Man fined $4,000 for kicking a Quokka

[lawrawrrr]

A Perth man who was filmed kicking a quokka on Rottnest Island has been fined $4,000 for the ill-treatment of the animal.

Harrison Angus McPherson, 20, was charged after a video of the incident was uploaded to Snapchat in February.


It shows McPherson kicking the quokka, which goes flying into wall before running away.


A man can be heard laughing in the background, while another is heard saying "come here you little c***".

Looks like a rat gopher type thing but even so why would you go around booting them :( still, the fine amount is really odd considering people who get arrested for assaulting police officers get away with £140 charges most of the time
