Police in Western Australia have fined a man A$200 after a photograph appeared to show a quokka being force-fed a disposable vape at a nature reserve island.
The image of the marsupial with the device in its mouth began circulating on social media, drawing widespread outrage due to the heavy protections in place at Rottnest Island.
Investigators tracked the image to a 29-year-old man, who was subsequently issued a fine by police for interfering with local wildlife.
