Stingrays mutilated in QLD

Up to 10 stingrays have been found on QLD beaches killed and with their tails cut off.
The Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries has said that the killings may be some sort of retribution for the death of Steve Irwin.
Wildlife Warrior Michael Hornby said that the killings go against everything that Steve stood for.
"We just want to make it very clear that we will not accept and do not stand for anyone who's taken a form of retribution. That's the last thing Steve would want," he said.
DPIF general manager of animal welfare Rick Symons said staff were investigating and offenders could be prosecuted under the Queensland Animal Care and Protection Act.
