collier county, FL. – New details on a story we brought you Monday night. Florida Fish and Wildlife says they’re investigating the poisoning deaths of a dozen wallabies at a Collier County home.
A woman who breeds the exotic pets told WINK News Monday she didn’t feel FWC was working to find out who poisoned 12 of her wallabies with street drugs.
The agency tells us Tuesday, they are conducting an active investigation into the killings. Officers will visit the property Wednesday.
FWC also tells us the owner was sited two weeks ago for unsanitary conditions, having to do with a wallaby living inside the house.
The owner of the animals is offering a $500 reward to anyone with information leading to an arrest in her wallabies’ deaths.
