Calls to kick out US influencer after foul act with wombat #australia #hunting #breakingnews She took the baby wombat from its mother! An American hunting influencer has sparked intense backlash after posting footage of herself capturing a wild baby wombat on the side of the road, removing it from its distressed mother for a photo opportunity. It was posted by Sam Jones who has been previously referred to as Samantha Strable in a hunting publication and goes by the username @samstrays_somewhere on Instagram. She claims to be a “wildlife biologist and environmental scientist,” and shared the disturbing video in a Reel that she’s since deleted amid the controversy. The footage shows Ms Jones catching the wombat on the side of the road during the night, while an Australian man films and hysterically laughs. As she runs across the road holding the terrified animal, whose feet are dangling in the air, the man is heard saying, “Look at the mother, it’s chasing after her!” The influencer then holds up the baby wombat, who is wriggling and clearly in distress, to the camera and smiles for a photo, captioning the clip that it was her “dream” to hold a baby wombat. As the mother appears next to her, she says, “Okay, mama is right there, and she is pissed, let’s let him go”. The filmer replies, “Nah, he’s all right,” as she places it back on the ground. Ms Jones added in the caption that “the baby and mum were safely united”.
