US tourist posts a photo with Wombat puppy and is criticized: ‘Deportem’

Video was deleted after criticism. Although, at first, Jones argued that he held the puppy for “just a minute” and that it caused him no damage, the influencer decided to delete the recording of social networks. Jones, who has over 92,000 Instagram followers, made his profile private after the controversy.

The video generated indignation, with Australians even asking Jones’s deportation. “Back, fine, deports and bane,” wrote one user on Reddit. Others criticized the influencer’s disrespect with local wildlife.

She is revolting, both she and the man who accompanied her. How do they think their mother trying to recover the puppy and the baby shouting at horror are funny and acceptable? It is something without soul, without heart

“She says she is a biologist and should know that this is unacceptable,” commented someone else. One more added, “Please report to Australia’s Department of Internal Affairs so that it is forbidden to step on the country again.”

In Australia, all animals are protected by the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Law. The capture and inadequate management of wild animals can result in fines of up to $ 148,237 (approximately R $ 861,626) for individuals and US $ 157,298 (about R $ 914,626) for companies, and up to seven years. However, there are no records of fines or other sanctions to the young woman yet.

Jones’s profile on Instagram is full of photos and videos of her with dead or captured animals. In a publication, she appears playing with a poisonous snake in Australia. In another, hold a baby shark and a hedgehog (equidna).
