wombat

The outrage over Mr Holston's videos comes just a few months after another US influencer was widely condemned for posting a video of her taking a baby wombat from the side of a road.

A US influencer who was filmed taking a wild baby wombat away from its distressed mother in Australia has said she is "truly sorry" and received thousands of death threats over the incident.

"There has never been a better time to be a baby wombat," Burke said in a short statement on Friday celebrating Jones' departure.

Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong is the latest to criticise a US influencer whose video of herself taking a wild baby wombat away from its distressed mother has angered conservationists.
