BEIJING — Visitors to a zoo in southeast China, apparently hoping for a livelier show, pelted kangaroos with rocks, ultimately killing one, injuring another and setting off a wave of public disgust and anger.

The 12-year-old female kangaroo died in a zoo in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, over a month ago. But the news surfaced only this week, when a local newspaper, The Haixia Metropolis News, described zookeepers’ shock at finding it with a smashed foot, hobbled and listless, after at least one visitor apparently threw stones in an attempt to make it jump.

People suck all over.
