An Instagram account based in the North Queensland Palm Island area shows a number of disturbing videos of wildlife and other animals being attacked.
An Instagram account showing Palm Island minors attacking animals is being investigated by the Queensland Police Service (QPS).
The account, which was sighted by The Epoch Times, contains multiple videos featuring youths local to the North Queensland island off Townsville, showing distressing treatment of both native and introduced animals.
In one video, a youth is seen dragging a struggling and hissing possum on a string out of the bushes before talking about making “possum stew.”
In another, multiple youths are seen beating a helpless possum, with some children holding it while another boxes and kicks it. The possum appears to be in distress and in bad shape from the beatings.
Possums appear to be routinely abused, with multiple videos added to the account showing the cruelty.
Another possum video shows the children distressingly mimicking pornography scenes with the bodies of multiple dead possums, with the caption “possum porn.”
