If you don't like blood don't watch please.

I took this video about a week ago when I was in Melbourne Australia.

Kind of made me sick to my stomach to watch, but I could not take my eyes or camara off of it.

The Wombat was hit by a car and brought here alive, the wombat was not going to make it so it was put down. By law they must preform a autospy of the animal. I found it to be educational.

This is why I really think its important to get kids involved in hunting sports. My son has stood and watched a deer being gutted, helped clean it and dress it and then took in a backstrap and cooked it up for dinner.

I used to trap and skin animals so without watching the video I would say this is all pretty routine for me.
 
What was the point of an autopsy on a wombat hit by a car?

Imagine if we did that for every squirrel, possum, skunk, raccoon, and deer hit and left on the roadside here in the U.S..

So was the wombat declared to have died of natural causes???

WTF is the point of this?

That's what I was wondering.

It was brought in because it was hit by a car and wasn't going to make it, so they put it down themselves. I can tell you that the injected solution was the cause of death without doing an autopsy.

Go look at what was in that vial and save yourself some time. :colbert:

From my understanding it is to insure it did not have other things wrong with it. Such as a sickness that can be cought by humans or a sickness that it could have cought or that is spreading in the wild. If they autopsy it they would have an early warning of it.

Shrug I was only told it was the law. If they put it down they have to autopsy it.

Probably more to check for any signs of infectious disease in the population. I dont know what wombats may suffer from but think of skunks and rabies or deer and CWD.
 
What's gross about it? (unless you don't know what your food looks like before it's taken apart)

Just curious, what specifically do you mean by "This"?
 
There are these huge frogs in Kauai the size of a football when we went and one was smashed by a car tire. I couldn't even bear to look at the guts that just lied there on the ground. But for some reason, I didn't have any problems looking at pics of dead people on Ogrish.com (when it was that).
