Wildlife officials are expecting this kangaroo, found shot through the head by a crossbow arrow, to fully recover. The roo was found last Thursday at a park in suburban Melbourne. It's possible that he may have been shot up to a week before being found. He has since been under the care of veterinarians at the Melbourne Zoo.

Wildlife Victoria has posted a Aus$10,000 ( US$7,600, £5,000) reward to find the person responsible.
Wildlife Victoria spokeswoman Fiona Corke, said the kangaroo was rescued just days after another kangaroo was found with an arrow in its rump in the same area.
"It's just unbelievable, I can't believe that anyone would do something so cruel," she said.

But then again, the article does mention about them culling thousands..... sigh.
Abort, Retry, Ignore?
You hunt to kill, not to torture. Whoever it was probably botched the shot, unless it was a total idiot and actually aimed for the head.
