Warning: This article contains details of animal cruelty that some readers may find distressing.

Another 40 lashes with a wet lettuce leaf for animal cruelty. RSPCA would have spent thousands in dollar terms alone getting this to court, let alone the lost hours cost, and this feral bogan (in a dual cab 4x4 - what a surprise) gets off with a fine that would cost less than one replacement muddy for his sick rig.

After a lengthy investigation involving Parks and Wildlife, RSPCA and witnesses, the man received a "formal warning" and a $718 fine.

I'm not defending the action of running the birds over. However the ABC's recommendation of hire a wildlife relocation team is fucked. So in other words, fuck you if you're poor and have a bird problem.

BTW Is is possible to contact the local council and have them deal with it?

I'm not entirely sure that having a plover nearby is really a "bird problem" though, is it? We've got them everywhere near us and aside from a bit of aural pollution they have zero impact on my life.

Yep just wait for the breeding season to be over and they will move on
