Kangaroo on the run found and killed
A kangaroo that has been on the run from a zoo in Lintrup, Denmark since last week has been found. But the excursion from the zoo came to a tragic end, TT reports.
Once zoo staff located the kangaroo, the next step was to stun it. It all went according to plan, but as the vet and zookeepers got closer, the stunned kangaroo got up and jumped towards a busy road.
To avoid a kangaroo being blacked out in traffic, the decision was made to shoot it.
– Of course, it wasn’t the ending we were hoping for. But we also really didn’t want the animal to be hit or cause an accident, says Dennis Jensen, director of Glad Zoo.

Ann
Absolutely. A whopping 33% seem to have loved the dig-dig – we’ll have to do that more often! 😉
The title should probably be the queen and not the queen 🤪
Oh
No, it shouldn’t be. It is in Danish, because it is the Danish queen that the notice is about.
The happiest news of the day: Filippa has been found and is alive.
Emil
Yes, that was really good news!
Hey, well-known artists have freedom of speech too????? and shall not need the intervention of self-appointed experts
Realist
Hey Realist! Do you mean Carola? She has freedom of speech like everyone else. Regardless of whether you are famous or not, it does not mean that you cannot receive criticism from others for what you say.
No wonder that queues for surgery are increasing in Region Stockholm in any case. They have stopped all planned operations since February. They only operate emergency operations and cancer patients. I, with gallstones, will have to wait. I’ve been waiting since December!
