Coss Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Next time, take a crocodile: Aus PM’s advice for US tourist after viral wombat video “I would suggest to this so-called influencer. Maybe she might try some other Australian animals. Take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there,” Albanese said. “Take another animal that can actually fight back rather than stealing a baby wombat from its mother. See how you go then.” Sam Jones, or Samantha Strable, who also claims on her Instagram to be a “Wildlife Biologist & Environmental Scientist”, is described as a Database Administrator on a former list of staff members at the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks agency. ___ Moron woman, Good on yer Albanese.

bust Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 She is full of shit which is clearly shown in the original video US influencer apologises for snatching baby wombat away from its mother Woman poses with a baby wombat after taking it from its mother In short: An American influencer who was widely criticised for filming herself grabbing a baby wombat and carrying it away from its mother has apologised. Sam Jones says she was trying to remove the animal from the side of a roadway, where it might have been hit by a passing vehicle. In her apology, the influence also took aim the federal government, saying it allows Australian farmers to kill wombats and other animals in the process of harvesting and producing food. Link copied An American influencer, widely criticised for picking up a baby wombat and carrying it away from its mother, has apologised, saying she was trying to move the animal from the roadside to prevent it from being hit by a vehicle. The influencer, who is known as Sam Jones but also uses the name Samantha Strable, left Australia on Friday after earlier posting an Instagram reel of herself on an unidentified road picking up the joey and running towards the camera with the marsupial in her arms as its mother chased after her. The footage featured the joey squirming and screeching before the influencer put it back on the road. It showed the animal walking back into the scrub. US influencer Sam Jones has apologised after receiving intense criticism for taking a joey wombat away from its mother. (Instagram: samstrays) In an apology posted to Instagram on Saturday, Ms Jones said she had been trying to protect the wombat and said she has since received threats against her life by people angered by her actions. "When we found the mother and joey on a road, not moving, I was extremely concerned. As wombats are so often hit on Australian roads, I stopped to ensure they got off the road safely and didn't get hit," Ms Jones said. Wombat-snatching influencer leaves Australia Photo shows A US influencer holding a joey wombat that is in distress with its mouth open The Department of Home Affairs says a woman who posted footage of herself taking a joey from its distressed mother left the country today. "I was concerned it may have been sick or injured, and made a snap judgement to pick up the joey and see if this was the case. I ran, not to rip the joey away from its mother, but from fear she might attack me. "The snap judgement I made in these moments was never from a place of harm or stealing a joey … I looked it over quickly and immediately returned it to its mother. "Over holding a wombat, thousands threaten my life. "I have done a great deal of reflection on this situation and have realized that I did not handle this situation as best as I should have. "I have learned from this situation, and am truly sorry for the distress I have caused." The influencer deleted the original video after animal welfare advocates criticised her over her treatment of the joey. Immigration Minister Tony Burke also confirmed this week that officials were reviewing the conditions of Ms Jones's visa to determine whether immigration law had been breached, but she then left Australia of her own accord to return to the United States.
