AUSTRALIA—In a stunning display of wildly unnecessary intervention, American influencer and self-proclaimed outdoor enthusiast Sam Jones proudly snatched a baby wombat from its mother.

“I just knew I had to act,” said Jones, clutching the confused hissing joey while a mother wombat trailed behind. “The mom looked really stressed, like she couldn’t handle motherhood, so I thought, This is my moment to step in and help a fellow woman.”

Jones was videoed yanking the baby away like some kind of marsupial mafia while the mother wombat tottered behind in distress.

Experts confirm that wombat mothers are, in fact, perfectly capable of caring for their young without foreign intervention and that the anxious noises by the mother wombat were due to her joey being suddenly and forcibly snatched from her.

“Look, I’m helping. If not me, then who? If not now, then when?” Jones insisted though it was crystally unclear how she was helping.

At press time, Jones was forced into hiding in Thailand and still insisted that she had a “special connection” with all animals like the well-known bestial fetishist Snow White.
