Some Scumball killed a Tasmanian Devil in the Albuquerque Zoo

[n2doc]

Albuquerque police are investigating a murder mystery at the New Mexico city’s zoo after an endangered Tasmanian devil, one of four on loan from Australia, was found dead in its exhibit.

Horrified zookeepers at the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo told police they found “Jasper” in his enclosure Wednesday morning lying in a pool of blood. He was last seen alive Tuesday afternoon.

Police think someone threw a thick chunk of asphalt at Jasper, striking him in the head and fracturing his skull.

“It looks like there was a malicious intent and essentially our poor Tasmanian devil was killed, intentionally, by what seems to be blunt force trauma to the head,” Gilbert Montano, Mayor Richard Berry’s Chief of Staff, told KRQE-TV Friday.

Especially since the tasmanian devil population has been decimated by the facial tumor disease.

7. Un-fucking-believable. I hope they catch the bastard.

And I hope the law allows that piece of human filth to be put away for awhile in a very ugly place with people as mean-spirited as he is.

(Or she, I guess. Women can be brutal too. I feel the same way, whichever it is.)
