An 18-year-old was arrested in Australia for allegedly torturing a kangaroo.

For days we have been receiving repeated inquiries about a video that has been making the rounds on Facebook and Snapchat. In this video you can see how a man tortured a kangaroo to death! The animal itself died as a result!

As the police in the state of New South Wales announced last Thursday, they became aware of the case through this video on social media. This incident happened a year ago, in January 2019 in Woomargama National Park!

Note: Australian news channel 7NEWS posted a video on its Facebook page. Warning, this is disturbing material. You can watch the video here .

The 18-year-old man was arrested last Wednesday but released on bail. He will have to stand trial in March 2020 for, among other things, an act of cruelty to animals.
