Koala dies after allegedly being dragged behind vehicle down a street
"A rope was tied around the animal's neck and the other end was looped around a vehicle's tow ball, before the animal was dragged along the road."
"There was blood and fur along the road where it got dragged. It was gurgling blood and had deep abrasions over a lot of its body."
"Volunteer vets were forced to euthanise the animal after it suffered injuries, including deep abrasions and a fractured jaw."

Criminal psychologists are profiling a different kind of killer – environmental offenders
"I wanted to understand those who pose a threat to us on a much larger scale, at times even an existential level. Why do people choose to destroy the Earth and what can we do to stop them?"
"An environmental crime is when someone breaks a law related to destroying or contaminating our earth, air or water, or killing off biodiversity like trees and animals. These green crimes include acts like burning down a protected nature reserve, poaching an endangered species, or releasing toxic untreated water into rivers and lakes that makes people sick."
"A lot of large-scale environmental crime is committed by organised crime syndicates...Regulators make sure there are guardrails...We need to better acknowledge, and celebrate, the people who are holding environmental criminals accountable. "
