A since-deleted video of two Tassie teenager’s forcing a cigarette into a Wallabie’s mouth has been shared to social media, leading to calls for her to surrender the animal.
The snapchat video, filmed in Launceston, shows a teenage girl holding her ‘child’ while a teenage boy puts a cigarette into the joey’s mouth.

Outraged wildlife carers say seeing Wallabies, which are partly protected, being kept as pets is horrific.
Tasmanian wildlife authorities say they have received a complaint about the video and are investigating.
