Gruesome mass discovery of dead Tasmanian devils prompts plea for action
The Greens have pleaded for federal government intervention after a spate of bloody Tasmanian devil deaths on roads in the far north-west of the state.
Key points:
- Locals in Woolnorth say 10 Tasmanian devils have been found dead in just five days on or near the Van Dairy property
- Greens senator Peter Whish-Wilson is calling for the Save the Tasmanian Devil program to be reinstated
- It’s not clear how the devils died
According to locals, 10 devils were found dead in just five days at Woolnorth earlier this year, and about 30 in total since January.
Photographs obtained by the ABC show the dead devils in graphic detail. One’s head appears to have been turned 180 degrees.
Senator Peter Whish-Wilson said the photos had made him shocked and angry.
