Australia is under scrutiny after American content creator Sam Jones posted a now-deleted video of her taking a baby wombat from its mother, which sparked widespread outrage. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced a review of Jones' visa status, expressing urgency for her departure from the country. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese criticized her actions as distressing to the animal, while noting wombats are vulnerable creatures unlike kangaroos. The backlash led Jones to privatize her social media account, limiting public access to her commentary on the incident.
I caught a baby wombat, Jones, who describes herself as an outdoor enthusiast and hunter on social media, is heard saying in the video.
To take a baby wombat from its mother, and clearly causing distress from the mother, is just an outrage. I suggest to this so-called influencer, maybe she might try some other Australian animals.
