澳洲男子駕車惡意撞向一群鴯鹋

An Australian man has been arrested over a video that allegedly showed him deliberately driving his car into several emus.

因在上傳的一個視頻中顯示故意開車撞向一群鴯鹋，一名澳大利亞男子于近日被捕。

The footage caused outrage after surfacing online earlier last week. It prompted a nationwide effort to find the perpetrator.

在上周早些時候，這段視頻引發(fā)了人們的憤怒，導(dǎo)致澳大利亞在全國范圍內(nèi)搜捕肇事者。

Last Friday, police in Victoria said a 20-year-old man faced several charges of animal cruelty.

維多利亞州警方上周五表示，這名20歲的男子將面臨幾起虐待動物的指控。

In the video, the driver is heard cheering as he strikes the birds on a dirt road with his car.

在視頻中，這位司機在一段土路上，用自己的車撞向了這些鳥類，并發(fā)出歡呼聲。

"This is great -- I've got that one too, and that one," he says.

他說道：“太棒了。我撞到了一只，又撞到了一只。”

Police said the footage, which shows the driver's face, was filmed in Cowangie, a town about 500km north-west of Melbourne.

警方稱，該視頻是在墨爾本西北約500公里的科萬吉拍攝的，視頻中出現(xiàn)了這名司機的臉。

The RSPCA said: "We unequivocally condemn this type of behaviour, as it clearly shows a disregard for the lives of vulnerable native animals."

防止虐待動物協(xié)會稱：“我們明確譴責(zé)這種行為，因為這明顯顯示出了對這些脆弱的本地動物生命的漠視。”

Under Victorian law, people convicted of animal cruelty face up to two years in jail and a fine of A$74,620. The man will face a court hearing in November.

根據(jù)維多利亞州的法律，被判虐待動物的人會面臨最高兩年的監(jiān)禁和74620澳元的罰款。該男子將于今年11月份出庭受審。
