The opossum, now named Scarlett, was found on Tuesday with a broken jaw, one eye protruding, the other eye injured and a large gash on her throat, Wendy Watson, the president of the Wildlife Rehab of Greenville, told CNN. "The injuries are indicative of being struck with a golf club," Watson alleges.The opossum, who is less than a year old, weighs two pounds and still has her baby teeth.
"As best we can determine right now, the speculation that the animal may have been hit/injured with a golf club is unverified -- we have not been able to locate or speak with anyone claiming to have witnessed this, or having direct knowledge of the incident at this time."The Senate unanimously passes a bill that makes animal cruelty a federal felonyAccording to the Humane Society of the United States, Opossums may hiss but rarely do they do more than threaten with the sound.
That’s awful
This is news This is why I don’t watch cnn !
Did they get arrested.
Ugly creatures but they eat rodents ticks and snakes. The opossums, not the golfers.
What the hell is wrong w/ppl.Obviously they dont understand what these marsupials do in our environment for the good.Please find this person and charge w/ felony to animals
The people who did this to her deserve to have the same thing done to them. No mercy.
😱😭😭😭😭😭😭
Humans are repulsive
Don’t wanna be that guy but I thought opossums were already blind
IN FUTURE NEWS: The opossum was released back into the wild and hit by a car only days later. A GoFundMe has been set up in it's honor.🙄
How threatening was this baby opossum that someone thought the best course of action was to viciously beat it? Or could it just have been a despicable low-life with no regard for anything, no conscience, no remorse? If you’d do this to a defenseless animal, you’re twisted.
No surprise there!!!
Terrible
Wow!! Trump beat this opossum with a golf club?! MAGA2020 Impeachment ImpeachmentTrial Trump2020 Q QAnon IvotedforHillaryClinton NancyPelosiFakeNews FilmsForRepublicans AdderallTrump MaddowParnas ASPCApro

Where were the Trump boys at the time?
~ this infuriates me every time i see it… willing to bet it was a trump supporter lacking any empathy for the most vulnerable among us. sayNOtoFOREmore
💔
You are disgusted and can’t believe this would happen, but yet, you don’t blink an eye over countless unborn being put through unfathomable horror to stop their beating heart!
Nobody cares about gross possums 🤢🤮
It’s a rodent that carries disease.
Why in the entire hell is this a effin posting?
That is disgusting- how can a human being do that to an innocent baby animal... or any animal or even any human being... the person or persons who did this should be found and somehow punished severely... they are a danger to society and to any living thing.
Omg
Wish the world ended in 2012.
Ok we got it, quit reposting this.
Already tweeted this several times fake news
So everyone complaining about what these people did. It might have been a bit overboard, but I bet you people that complain would do the same if you seen one in your home or your yard. Better yet you’d probably call animal control and they would probably kill it themselves. Truth
Disgusting
Stop posting this shit over and over.
Anybody going to execute the white trash in SC who did it to this poor creature?
that's cruel
It never ceases to amaze me how cruel humans can be.
Bring back public executions,I would lop my ring finger off to see that!
Very bad 😠
This is an old version ! The golf club scenario was the assumption made - opossum was found near a golf course not on the golf course !
No evidence. Stop assuming.
Possum stated it (preferred pronoun) was simply out for some subway, around 3am, when approached by two big white dudes in red MAGA hats...🙄. C’mon ... ‘possum violence’?! CNNisTrash
Red State delicacy.
Look I'm not saying I dont feel bad for this one opossum but 500000 animals just burned up in Australia bc of climate change. How is there actually space for this as crazy as things are?
Please this makes me sick. You guys don’t post dead bodies so please don’t post this picture at least put a warning blur before we see it
Ban golf clubs.
24zampe 😡
Been seeing this for the last 5 days haha.
Opossums are not out during the day, so the light maybe too bright for its eyes since they are nocturnal creatures. Hoping the baby isn't completely blind, but instead just overly sensitive to light. It's going to have to spend its life in captivity if its blind. Dumbass golfers!
I'm thinking the golfers probably though they were killing a huge rat. Time to see whose golf clubs have blood and bits of opossum fur on them. They need to be coughing up the money for the vet bills. I wonder if they beat its mother too?
STOP POSTING THIS STORY IVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER! Spam!
Obama’s fault i’m sure
Stop it. This. Koalas. Just stop with the hurting animal pictures. God Damn.
Don’t post this shit
It’s a very sick world we live in when humans hurt animals all the time ... rest assured ... God is watching
😡🤬
I love animals, but even though on a golf course, how can this automatically be “indicative being hit by a gold club”? Around my property, these are pests - in HIGH numbers. My dogs usually take care of them, but sometimes they are taken care of otherwise.
Pretty sad.
Good for those golfers
Absolutely disgusting. Find the perp and jail them.
It’s unfortunate that sports and athletics often create bullies with little dicks that need to beat up little creatures or people... this just sounds like it happened to be a golf club that was used.
So
CNN slow news night
Golf course should be shut down
That is incredible cruelty.
let me guess its trumps fault
kuku27 Man is by nature merciless,pitiless,cruel,heartless ever since he was born as Adam and ate apple, that did him in with all weaknesses, including violence
HEY - How many more times should we be expecting this same article? Do you think people enjoy looking at this poor animal? Can you at least remove the fucking photo or add a warning? Sick of the clickbait game the media plays with.
One in four human preborn babies in the U.S. are literally torn to pieces in their mother's wombs then their shredded dead body parts are sold for monitary gain by Planned Parenthood yet so many are concerned about the welfare of one baby possum? Sick.
Animal abuse
Why?
Only if CNN cared about humans the same way it cares about opossums.
Sure it was not a Trump golf course?
Privilege mf
I hate humans
💔I wish I could beat that person who did this to near death 🤬🤬🤬
Burn the state
CNN thrives off of depravity. There are 100 positive things you could report on for every story like this. You are trying to create the perception that the world is worse than it is.
That is disgusting
Stories like this make me hate people even more and care more for all animals.
Hopefully the person or persons who’s responsible gets what they deserves. Horrible punishment like cancer!
I hate to be that guy but was he playing possum?
Poor little baby :(( ❤️
Sorry to see one of your own kind injured by two guys wearing MAGA hats! See the beating here CNNtapes
What’s worse almost, is that the cowards who saw this can’t open their normally big mouths. Wimps
Future serial killer or possible mass shooter.
🙏♥️♥️
Wtf!? The hell is wrong with us humans? Smh! 😥
People are the worst. Whatever happens to us in the end we richly deserve.
This is disgusting. I’m sure everyone agrees. Please be aware that if you support slaughterhouses you are also supporting this kind of abuse.
Once, there was a racoon on my porch and the dogs were in the yard barking at it when I came outside. It wouldn't leave so I hit it with a shovel one time, it looked kind of fucked up when it ran over the fence, and came back a few days later and was eaten by the dogs felt bad
justice!!!!!!!!
Golf is the pastime of our oppressors.
Poor little creature, what pain she must have suffered! Who could be so cruel to do this?😭😢
cvtera is this the opossum your Maintainance guy was squaring up with?
Fucking people
He fakin’ it
How can people be so wicked? It is sickening to see - but we must know otherwise it is too easy to remain complicit in ignorance.
Hang the boys by their toes until they cry for their mommies...
😤😡👊⚡
Damn CNN beaten worse than B. Stetlers reputation
Stupid humans thinking they're better than any animal. Humanity involves every living thing. Shame on them!
Why do you keep posting this?
Some sick people in this world
Unless you have an update, such as the arrest of the total POS who did this and/or that of the coward witnesses who won't talk, stop posting this. FFS.
Your 1 source for Negativity..... THIS.... Is CNN
Who does that? Appalling!
Evil often first reveals itself through cruelty to defenseless animals.
Possum stomping is a recognized sport in some places
💔
This is why human kind deserves ti die slowly and painfully
Look for the videos this is cruelty
Ugh stop already jfc
Fake news refuted days ago
ultracloudx :(
People suck.
It's Kamala.
these monsters need to be located and locked up
God humans suck
And every day im reminded that the worst of humanity wanders the world breaking it. Soul less & evil.
Y’all have never been attacked by possums in your back yard and it shows.
This is fake
Seriously reporting about an oppossum but 900 babies are murdered every day via Planned Parenthood and you have nothing to say about that
Scum
All this hoohaa over a opossum, yet children are in cages.
Because this should be national news.
Also, I thank God for kind volunteers who try to fix things like this!
Did u do this Garch Ajoboltfan 🤭
Why!!
Find the person and give this little guy justice!
This break my heart, what's wrong..
Do we know this was a person and not something that happens in nature, or a dog?
Why? Just why?
it was trump wasn’t it
Thanks for posting this for the 333736273 gazillionth time. I may have missed something. outragemerchants
Maybe got hit by the mower.
Why do you keep reposting this story when it's been proven a hoax?
Antifa must be on it again.
Now thats sad 😪
This is news? I follow CNN to get a different prospective; mostly what I get is garbage, Trump derangement, and fake news to incite it’s Trump hating audience. Pretty sad
No brownie points from Jeff Zucker, you didn’t put “impeachment” in your headline
What sicko does this? What sort of a twisted person wakes up, goes to play golf, sees a opossum and beats it? Sick pricks with nothing better in their lives that’s who!! Someone should do the same to them to see how it feels.!
Give me names
Completely uncalled for behaviour. Look at the size of it compared to a human. As always violent response from simple minded humans. Why can’t you just move away from the animal instead of clubbing it. I’d plaster the persons face globally for the coward that they are! cowards
It’s a rodent. They’re laying all over the road every day.
For the record, if I see you beating a defensless animal with your golf club, I will beat you with mine. Trust me.
You posted this 4 days ago already.
People are POS!
Wait until it gets older or well..you going to wish you would have finished off.
How many times are y’all going to post this story?!
It’s South Carolina. Are we surprised
Like to find this motherfucker and do the same to him. Yep.
Thanks Fredo
Life in prison for the culprit, no less!
Humans are disgusting. We need a new plague
Are you gonna blame Trump?
I don’t read CNN stories. Did they mention Trump or the fact that he won South Carolina?
Isn’t animal abuse now a federal crime?
People are so disgusting.
Caring about other life forms is for snowflakes. [sarcasm]
Opossums are no danger to anyone . Poor little thing I love opossums as I have two I feed outside I enjoy watching them climb down a tree to get over my fence to eat .. Prayers
Animal abusers should be charged and classified the same as DV abusers. 🙄🤬💯
Damn people ! 🤬🤬 saveScarlett
There's a would-be serial killer on the lose in S. Carolina.
Human beings are so disgusting.
Catch those that did it, then do the same exact, thing to them !
Find them and prosecute...
