Baby wombat grabber Sam Jones leaves Australia after intense backlash including from PM and immigration minister

Montana-based hunting influencer flies out of Australia on Friday after home affairs minister said he couldn’t ‘wait to see the back of this individual’.

A US hunting influencer who caused outrage in Australia after grabbing a baby wombat from its mother has left the country after the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, said immigration authorities were checking if she had breached the conditions of her visa.


A government source told the Guardian that Montana-based Sam Jones left the country on Friday morning.


Burke, who is also the immigration minister, said on Thursday that he couldn’t “wait to see the back of this individual” and authorities were “working through the conditions” on Jones’s visa to determine “whether immigration law has been breached”.


That review was still ongoing when Jones made the decision herself to leave the country, the Guardian understands.


Burke said on Friday: “There has never been a better day to be a baby wombat in Australia.”


Jones had shared footage on Instagram of herself approaching and then grabbing the wombat joey as it walked with its mother at an unknown location.


She then ran with the joey towards the camera, with a seemingly distressed mother wombat following and circling in the background. The joey hissed and screeched as Jones held it up and told the camera: “I caught a baby wombat.” The joey was then released by the side of the road.


The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said Jones’s actions were “an outrage” and suggested she should try and “take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there”.


RSCPA Australia said the footage showed a “blatant disregard” for native wildlife and the distress to the joey and the mother caused by the “callous act” was clear.


The Instagram account where Jones shared the footage was set to private and a TikTok account also disappeared. The footage sparked thousands of angry comments on social media sites where the clip was widely reshared.


A new TikTok account claiming to have been created by Jones after she was previously “banned” posted two messages. The Guardian has been unable to confirm if the account was genuine.


In one message the account creator said she was “really sorry about the wombat incident” and that “it was a mistake”.


In another message, posted about midnight on Thursday, the creator of the account wrote to “fellow fans and haters” that the hate was “too much for me to handle”.


“You guys are insane,” the account said. “I get hundreds of dea** threats for picking up an animal. WT*? Imagine someone just goes up to your child and curses at them? Let’s have some respect.”

While appaling treatment of an animal, by stupid attention seeker it seems to have displaced news space for betrayals of Ukraine,Gaza, Sudan and the ongoing strife in Myanmar.

[Topper]

You grab a wombat just one time, just one fooking time and you're know as a wombat grabber for life.

[BLD]

That's social media for you. It's a double edged sword for for wombat worriers

[BLD]

Apparently she was receiving death threats and decided to bail on the next flight. I don't blame her Ozzie's are pretty redneck except for me of course. I havent had a mullet for years

When you're an instagram star with 95,000 followers, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the wombat. You can do anything.

An American hunter who sparked outrage after she was filmed manhandling a baby wombat has sent a disturbing message to a friend from her new bolthole in Thailand after she fled the furious backlash in Australia.
Samantha Strable, 24, came under fire after sharing a now-deleted video of her grabbing the joey from a roadside and then running away from the distraught mother.
The distressed baby wombat could be heard hissing in distress while her sheep shearer boyfriend Louis Sixt laughed as he filmed her and mocked the mother chasing after her joey.
Despite previous reports that the influencer had returned home to the US, Daily Mail Australia can reveal Ms Strable and Sixt are currently laying low in Thailand.
‘On my flight to Thailand today, guess what I saw?' she wrote to her friend. 'A bunch of old, bald Aussie dudes flying to Thailand...
‘They're [the public] not going to scrutinize them for going abroad to have sex with children but I'm the POS [piece of s***]…’
The former friend believes Ms Strable is on a pre-planned holiday in south-east Asia with members of her American family.
But Ms Strable later sent the same ex-friend a series of abusive messages, vowing to make their life hell after she accused them of speaking to the media about her.

Oh my. Wot a kunt of a thing. No remorse at all.

Americans at it again!

[Shutree]

Samantha Strabel.
Maybe the Netizens will be able to track her down, follow her around with cameras and megaphones, let her know we all love a wombat grabber.

You sound about a hundred and three years old.

[39TG]

No, you're out of touch. It's principally young men who complain about young women. I don't think I've ever looked at IG but I'm aware what young men say about it.

Australia is better off without the American feminist. Good riddance. The Thai government won't be thrilled at her suggesting old bald men fly to Thailand to have sex with children.

[Neverna]

^ Are you saying that young men these days don't want to see half-naked young women?

[cyrille]

It has to be on a par with that protest placard...'Red Onions are clearly PURPLE!!'.

Maybe it's 'jabir'.
