Upper Plenty residents offer reward in hunt for hillbilly kangaroo killers Scores of kangaroos are reportedly being maimed. A GANG of hillbilly bandits is shooting up mobs of kangaroos in Melbourne's north and fed-up residents are offering a reward for their arrest. Upper Plenty local Sandy Hall says she is sick and tired of "ferals" illegally shooting wildlife on her property. She says scores of roos are being maimed and even cut up and thrown in pieces around her property in the dead of night. Ms Hall, from the tiny hamlet just near Wallan and Whittlesea, says a lack of resources from nearby police means a gang of out-of-control "ferals" are terrorising neighbours with late night shoot-outs. This is happening left, right and centre. They killed a whole family of roos last night - a dad, mum and baby. The wildlife people pulled the joey alive out of the mother's pouch this morning, it's just appalling," she said. Ms Hall says she believes local trouble-makers shooting unregistered firearms are to blame for the roo slayings. Ms Hall is offering a $500 reward for someone to turn the killers over to police.
