A young female kangaroo was left to die a lingering and painful death after being trapped in a snare . The sight of a young female kangaroo that was left to die a lingering and painful death after being trapped in a snare is one of the latest victims to come under attack . The stricken eastern grey was spotted by a nearby resident after struggling to forage through bushland at Mountain Creek Road in Captains Flat , south of Queanbeyan , NSW . Wildcare rescuer Diane Hinton told Daily Mail Australia she was called to a property after reports of a severely-injured kangaroo but when she arrived , the terrified marsupial hopped away to finding a hiding place . ‘ She was still hopping around so I couldn ’ t get close to her but I could see she had a broken arm , ’ Ms Hinton told Daily Mail Australia . ‘ I thought I ’ d wait a few more days but when I finally got to her on Thursday , she had a snare wrapped around her body and she looked really sick and poorly infected. ’ The rescuer was forced to put the youngster down because she had endured too much pain from the metal wire , which had cut through her body cavity and ribs after being tangled as she tried to release herself from the trap . ‘ I ’ ve been rescuing animals for a long time and have seen many horrendous things but it was nothing horrendous like this – it 's the worst I ’ ve ever seen , ’ Ms Hinton said . ‘ She was ripped apart and you could see into her chest . There were maggots crawling out of her – she had been fly-blown . ‘ It made me feel physically ill , disbelieving and horrified that people could do that and think it ’ s ok . The rescuer was forced to put the roo down because she had endured too much pain from the metal wire . The snare was wrapped around her neck and back as she struggled to release herself from the metal wire . Ms Hinton said she does n't know where the snare was set up but believes it could be just kilometres away . Ms Hinton said it was difficult to know where the snare had come from but believed there was a small possibility it was an ‘ accidental capture ’ . ‘ It ’ s obvious someone had set it up to specifically trap wildlife animals , ’ Ms Hinton said . ‘ It ’ s inhumane for someone to do that and it makes me feel fearful because if someone could do that to an animal – what makes it any different to take out a farmer ’ s life ? ‘ We ’ ve also heard stories about people chasing them [ kangaroos ] around in their cars until they get exhausted and collapse , then people would run or reverse over them until they die . ‘ There 's been times where I ’ ve stopped to rescue animals on the side of the road and then I see cars and motorbikes go out of their way to run them down – it ’ s horrible and it needs to stop. ’ A young male kangaroo was found with a hunting arrow pierced through the jaw and into the shoulder . The Wildcare rescuers managed to save the youngster and remove the arrow from his shoulder this week . He is currently being taken care of and on the road to recovery before being released back into the wild . The brutal attack comes just days after a young male kangaroo was found with a hunting arrow pierced through the jaw and into the shoulder at Greenleigh in Queanbeyan on Tuesday . The still-mobile eastern grey had collapsed on a driveway but was safely tranquilised by rescuers before being transported to West Queanbeyan veterinary hospital where the arrow was removed . The sharp object had only torn through his skin of the shoulder and had missed his bone and muscle . Wildcare macropod coordinator Helen Stevens told Daily Mail Australia the youngster is on the road to recovery and will be under supervision before releasing him back into the wild . ‘ He ’ s recovering well but we ’ re angry that people could inflict such pain and suffering on animals , ’ Ms Stevens told Daily Mail Australia . ‘ It ’ s been a distressing week for us and you just feel sorry for the animals yourself when you see how stressed they are after being attacked . ‘ I ’ m amazed to see unique wildlife living here but what amazes me more are people ’ s attitudes towards them – shooting or hurting animals is not correct. ’ Anyone found guilty of attacking animals could face a hefty fine of up to $ 22,000 or six months in prison . Ms Stevens has called on for more education in schools and the community in a bid to raise awareness and put a stop to animal cruelty . ‘ We are trying to educate people so everyone can live alongside wildlife animals , ’ Ms Stevens said . ‘ Animal cruelty is an unexceptional behaviour. ’ Anyone who is found guilty of attacking wildlife animals could face a hefty fine of up to $ 22,000 or six months imprisonment . ‘ There are laws put in place for cats and dogs but it shouldn ’ t be any different to wildlife animals , ’ Ms Stevens said .
