Kangaroo alledgedly killed at 30th Party... DUBLIN

glanman

Gardaí are investigating an incident in which an animal, believed to be a kangaroo, was released onto the dance floor of a hotel in Dublin on Saturday night.
The incident took place during a 30th birthday party at the Clarion Hotel in Liffey Valley in Dublin.
Video footage shows a man picking up and swinging the animal while the theme tune to 'Skippy the Bush Kangaroo' is played in the background.
Hotel management and the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have said they are horrified by the incident.
Gardaí say they are investigating reports that the animal died following the incident.
General Manager of the hotel, Garret Marrinan, said that they became aware of the incident when the manager on duty noticed a commotion on the dance floor.
When he went to investigate he saw what he believed was a large dog and instructed security to remove it.
By the time security arrived the animal and the box it was in had disappeared.
He said the hotel did not know it was a kangaroo until they were contacted by gardaí yesterday.
The hotel has passed on CCTV footage of the incident to help gardaí with their investigation.

Mr Benevolent

Br4tPr1nc3

jesus the media are gona hop onto this!

(the people at that party are c.unts)

Sea Sharp

Fucking idiots.

You don't let a wild animal out on a dance floor with flashing lights and loud music. Mainly beacause the wild animal might, I dunno, kill somebody.

Poor Kangeroo, but on the bright side, at least nobody got hurt.

skipz

That happens all the time in Australia:D

DonJose

Jaysus, I was hopping he wouldn't die

Saila

Cookie_Monster

The Aussie

well you know what they say, if you cant take inbreed gap toothed knackers to Australia, take Australia to the inbreed gap toothed knackres.

On a side note, how the hell do you get your hands on a kangaroo

Nodin

....doesn't say anything about him being killed in the article...

davrho

This was been spoken about in the Penny Hill on Sunday. I put it down to drunk talk and pish. Ah well.......

Big Nasty

What was that Skip? There's a Joey on the dancefloor? :eek::eek::eek:

xzanti

Poor animal, was listening to this on the wireless on my lunchbreak.. Infuriating stuff.. apparently some genius was simulating sex acts on the poor creature and everything.. People can be so retarded

I highly doubt it was a Kangaroo. Maybe a wallaby.

A kangaroo would **** up everyone on that dance floor and then come back for seconds.

There would be no survivors.

Ok,admittedly, i've never seen a real life kangaroo, let alone try to pick one up and swing it round, but would the kangaroo not give someone an almighty kick if they tried to grab it?

Also, the RTE website now says about "mistreatment of a kangaroo", not that it was alledgedly killed..

bad2dabone

kangaroos are pretty big and powerful, i doubt someone would be able to simulate a sex act on one, one kick from a frightened roo and there would be a seriously injured or dead person.

Well you should know JUMPY;)

On a serious note though I can't help thinking that would've been a happier scenario for humankind.

It's hard enough to understand when you hear about kids or disturbed teenagers torturing animals for fun but what the hell was wrong with a whole party of adults that no one stood up and said "stop, this is f****** wrong and disgusting". The thought of people who thinking stimulating sex acts on an animal and killing it is party entertainment are the kind of people we could do without in my opinion.

Hoppnig mad been done yet?

I know. I am an Aussie. Incidentally I have been kicked by a small one. Put me on my arse. It wanted my food.

Thought they were pretty mad things: pity it didn't attack one of them.

I know AH is known for its take nothing serious attitude but for Fu*ks sake, that's a horrible story. I would personally swing whoever around by their balls till they died, jail anyone involved indefinetly, and fine the hotel so much they'd close down, name and shame everyone involved, includeing all the fools who stood there and watched!
but what makes this horrible story worse, is these stupid, wanna be witty responses the so called AH come up with!
I'm disgusted, so should ye!

Calibos

I don't want to tar a whole locality with the same brush but when I heard this I said to myself, "bet the partygoers were from Clondalkin or Finglas".

Guess what!!

I agree 100%.. heartless bastards who ever did it.. and joking about it is pretty poor aswel tbh.. I don't see how anyone can find humour in a defenseless animals suffering..

How many kangaroos were killed while making the 'Skippy' tv series?

I bet that every time poor Skippy fell down a mineshaft, he actually did, and they just replaced him.

The_Minister

So the questions are:

1. How did they procure a kangaroo?

2. How did they get one cheaply enough that it could be used as a party stunt?

3. Why did the kangaroo not go kung-foo on everyone, as they are wont to do?

4. How did the bar staff not recognise a kangaroo?

5. Why am I never invited to these kind of parties?

jackiebaron

Those guys will roo the day.

Skippy didnt fall down mineshafts, it was that clumsy oaf Little Timmy. Skippy alerted the community

Luckily Timmy was an orphan, owned by the studio.

Do the same people who are disgusted about this eat meat the animals that your meat comes from go through a lot worse than listening to a skippy song

Bit rich to be honest

He was doing the pushing, however. Hero complex.

He probably wasn't a regular there.
