IS ANYONE MISSING A WALLABY?

IS ANYONE MISSING A WALLABY?
 
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania Game Commission officials are looking for information about anyone who may be missing a wallaby, which was captured around 3 p.m., Wednesday, May 30, along King Road near Cambridge Springs, Crawford County.  The wallaby was tranquilized by officials from the Northwest Region, including Information and Education Supervisor Regis Senko, Crawford County WCO Mark Allegro and Northwest Region Wildlife Management Supervisor Roger Coup, and transferred to a licensed facility until the owner is identified.

Resembling a small kangaroo, a wallaby is a member of the marsupial family, and a native of Australia and surrounding islands.

“My landlord saw it, so I went down and took a photo of it,” said Sarah Dippold, former Game Commission biologist aide.  “I forwarded the photo to the Game Commission’s Northwest Region office.”

Anyone with information about where the wallaby originated is encouraged to call the Northwest Region Office at 814-432-3187.

    Check it for an  ear tag. The word on the street is they are being brought in to reduce the grey wolf population. They wallabies run down and stamp on the young grey wolves. It has something to do with their  natural hatred of dingos, which prey heavily on the wallabies....WF... The  PGC denies that the wallabies also stamp out fawns in their attempt to starve the remaining wolf population

    With hunting licenses going on sale June 11th, when does one have to apply for a wallaby tag?  Does the application go to the PGC or the county?

    Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion.

    The PGC will not admit to importing them so no license is required. If you bag one, they will disavowel all knowledge of it.....WF

    I prefer buffalo meat.
    It's cheaper and tastes better.
