Story out of Parramatta, Australia:
One of the nation's oldest and most prestigious private schools is being investigated for animal cruelty after the ABC obtained videos of members of the school's top rugby teams crash-tackling sheep in a farm paddock.
The King's School in Parramatta helped pioneer rugby union in Australia and has produced dozens of Wallabies players.
But the videos obtained by the 7.30 program threaten to tarnish the school's proud sporting history.
The footage was posted on a private Facebook page by school teacher and coach James Hilgendorf and a fellow former professional rugby player, Hugh Perrett.
The videos show the school's first and second XV rugby teams running into a paddock, chasing and tackling young rams to the ground and dragging them to designated squares, where they are flipped over onto their backs. Cont. (Video)
