Unable to get up, how long was this boy lying by the side of the road before being noticed?

Who did this? Did they call someone to help him?

Thankfully someone noticed, Logan City Council roadside clean up crew. They stopped around 10am and called their boss. She called a local vet who passed our number on.

We sent a rescuer out immediately. We discussed options and decided to call the police hotline.

Whilst on the phone, a police car drove past, they doubled back and asked if assistance was needed. They euthanised this young male eastern grey kangaroo.

Hours later this boy was out of his misery but how long did he suffer because someone did not care or call someone to help 😞🤔

Joeys of all kinds are coming in.

We received a call for.this little girl, a common brushtail possum, late last week. We were able to assist with finding a carer and transporting.

We pride ourselves on working with others for the best outcome for the animals.

Red-necked wallabies coming in from all over. Another two today.

Please remember to call a wildlife rescuer/organisation if you happen to hit an animal, you never know what could be in the pouch. You could save a life 💚

The last month has been difficult! Social media was the last thing on my mind.

I got RSV which developed into pneumonia. Not a fun time.

During this time I still took calls and, thanks to some other rescuers, managed to have animals attended to. I did miss a few calls whilst in hospital, sorry about that, but majority were handled.

I have been back at it for a week now, easing into it.

So much has been happening! Our release site has progressed so quickly. Release pen has been completed and our new front fence is up.

Heaps of new joeys have come in, and carers have been found for almost all of them.

This little red-necked wallaby was one of two new joeys that came in yesterday. He came from Beaudesert. Handsome little chap.

I may not personally be able to attend all jobs at the moment, but I will arrange for someone to help.

Have a great week everyone!

Yesterday we were tagged in a post on a local community page. A kangaroo (commonly mistaken for a wallaby) had been hit by a car which continued on its merry way. They did not stop, brake, slow down, nothing.

670 comments before commenting was turned off and 95% of it was negative towards to guy who posted. Very little concern given to the injured animal. We attended promptly. How many of these people think we are a waste of time?

The kangaroo was found, still alive but suffering from spinal injuries. We had her humanely euthanised.

So many people commented saying how do you know they didn't call someone. Well they didn't call the RSPCA, we checked. Maybe they called someone else but no one else attended in the time we were there.

When did their lives stop mattering? We are beyond disgusted. A big F you to those abhorrent people who commented negatively.

Thank you to the guy who brought it to our attention.

Pic of the guy's car that hit her in the comments. Yes, in the company car.

It was a week of joeys last week.

This not so little eastern grey kangaroo joey arrived from Purga. The Park's Wildlife Care and Rescue called to say they had just rescued this guy and asked if we could take him on. After they had done the hard yards, it was the least we could do ☺️

Teamwork is the best, helping each other for the good of the animals. We are always happy to help an animal in need of assistance, it doesn't matter who the call comes from.

Grow big and strong dude!

We are at Mundoolan Community Centre markets today until midday.

Come down and say hi 👋

4.15am today, the phone rings.

Can we attend a kangaroo laying in the middle of the road? Ok. One stays home to feed the joeys in care and one hits the road.

Lovely member of the public, young gentleman, had stayed to help. We loaded him in the car and off to the RSPCA. His leg was barely hanging on by a thread.

Finally on our way back home now.

We can't assume he was not called in by the person who hit him, they may have called the RSPCA not realising their phone line is not 24 hours. Would be nice if he wasn't left in the middle of the road unattended though.

Well today was different.

Vet appointment first thing this morning for Brian, check up and vitamin injection. He is improving and much brighter.

While there, a call came into the vet for an abandoned lamb. We were asked if we knew anyone and decided to take it on ourselves. We can find the time, right? 😁

Something different but oh so cute! Noisy though.

Hopefully all goes well. Vet check was good.
