A kangaroo in South Australia has been subjected to torture and death by a gang of young men.

The animal was struck by one of the twats' car, before being brutally assaulted last June.

The kangaroo's head eventually removed. I'm not gonna showcase in the the gorier screenshots here, 'cause I don't think there's any need to be honest with you, lads.

Andrea Lewis, chief inspector of the RSPCA South Australia, said: 'It is alleged that the animal was run down by a vehicle and then stabbed with a knife and burned with a cigarette while still alive, by a group of young males.

'It is also alleged that the males stomped on the kangaroo's head until it came off. This horrific act of cruelty was allegedly captured on video and posted to the Snapchat social media platform.'

A 17-year-old from the southern suburbs was interviewed in relation to the attack, Ms Lewis said.

She added: 'Anyone who witnessed the incident, has viewed the video or has copies or screenshots of the video, or has any additional information, is asked to contact the RSPCA South Australia's 24-hour cruelty hotline.'

The attackers could face up to fours year in jail or dealt a $50,000 fine if found guilty of animal cruelty.

Let's hope they get caught.
