‘Take another animal that can actually fight back,’ says Australian PM to wombat captor

American social media influencer Samantha Jones created an uproar in Australia after posting a now-deleted video to her Instagram account of her grabbing a wild baby wombat from its mother. The wombat is a protected species of marsupial in Australia. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese denounced the act, saying Jones should ‘try some other Australian animals’ instead, like a crocodile.
