34-year-old Greig Tonkins found himself in the international spotlight after a video of him punching a defenseless kangaroo went viral on social media.

It turns out that Mr Tonkins is a zookeeper at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo, New South Wales in Australia. The attacker explained that he only did this to protect his dog, Max, from being eaten by the kangaroo. It was later revealed that it was actually the other way, since Tonkins is an avid hunter and was on a hunting trip with “pig dogs”, which are specifically bred to harass and harm wildlife. So the kangaroo was not attacking the dog, he was trying to protect himself and his family.

 
Exclusive: Punish thugs that cut dog’s ears off and posed for photos!

A spokesperson with the Taronga Western Plains Zoo confirmed that Greing Tonkins is an employee at the facility.

We, the undersigned, are extremely disturbed by the fact that a person with zero compassion towards wildlife is allowed to work as a zookeeper and hereby ask Taronga Western Plains Zoo to fire this cruel man as soon as possible. Mr. Tonkins has proven he does not deserve to work as a zookeeper and it would be a true disgrace if this man was allowed to keep his job.

Help punish this heartless man now and sign the petition.
