GIANT KILLER KANGAROO RAISES RIOT IN AUSSIE OUTBACK!
A giant Kangaroo has been terrorising the residents of an isolated outback Australian Community and locals fear it is the first of a new super breed of Rogue Roos.
The town, situated on the edge of Sturts Stony Desert in the arid South West of Queensland, had it's first night of horror in December last year.The Local Police Officer, who has requested annonymity , said that he received a phonecall at the station at 2am on the morning of December 2nd.
"At first I thought it was one of the lads who'd had a few two many beers" he stated.
"But then I realised this guy was for real - he was genuinely scared."
The officer sped the 50 kilometres from his station along the track that led to the isolated
barren homestead. What he saw will stay etched in his mind forever.
"The guy had deep scratches down his face and chest - he was bleeding profusely.His wife had managed to clean the wounds up and she had fired him full of antibiotics from the Flying Doctor Chest that each property has for emergencies."
The Officer heard that the couple had been awoken around midnight by the sound of the dogs howling and barking.
"I thought it was a dingo or a feral pig" said the farmer. "Those b....ers often come in looking for a feed when we got a drought like this. They try for the pups or the young lambs."
He grabbed his shotgun and went out to "sort the swine out."
Instead, he saw a Kangaroo, standing taller than a man and in position for a fight.
It had ripped out the chest of one of the dogs and was starting on another.
Mrs X, the farmers wife, said that she stood in horror as she saw her husband race forward to get in range to shoot the rampaging roo.
"He raised the gun anfd fired - hitting it in the chest.Instead of going down, it turned on him and bounded forward ."
Bill, (not the farmers real name) crawled to safety under the truck that was parked nearby.
"I'd been meaning to fix that crate for months - thank goodness I didn't. If I had'nt been able to crawl under the chassis, I reckon I'd be dead today."
The Roo bounced off in retreat, though from the trail of blood it was clearly wounded.
Locals mounted a search the following day and combed the mulga scrub for 50 km before losing the trail of blood.
Two weeks later, a property more than 20 km north of the first assault scene, the Roo reared its ugly head again.
The Police Officer confirmed that this had now become a regular occurance and he had urged residents to lock up and not venture outside under any circumstances.
"We can't take this out of the local area" he explained. " The animal liberationists would be down on us like a ton of bricks if they heard we were hunting down a Roo like this."
A vigilante group of locals has been formed, and the area is patrolled every night by heavily armed 4 wheel drive vehicles.
Meanwhile,the whole town and surrounding area lives in a state of fear and siege .
