Topic Reading-Vol.1707-12/13/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Did Greig Tonkins break the law when he punched the kangaroo?
You might have seen a cartoon or animation that shows a kangaroo is wearing boxing gloves. Whether the animal actually punches others like human boxer does, you might have presumed that they might do so when they need or want to. But you probably never have imagined that a kangaroo is punched by a human. Also, you might have thought dogs might chase or harass kangaroos but not the other way around.
These are what exactly happened in New South Wales, Australia. A hunting dog was head-locked by a wild kangaroo and the owner of the dog punched the roo to rescue his dog.
As this video went viral, some animal activists became very critical of the man’s conduct while many praised him as a hero.
Enjoy watching the video and reading the article about the reactions by Australians.
