An animal rights group has stumped up a $1000 for anyone who can help find a person who deliberately ran over and killed nine kangaroos in a Queensland holiday town.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) offered the reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for the attack on The Esplanade at Toorbul, north of Brisbane, on Wednesday night.

Witnesses saw a white Toyota Landcruiser ute driving up The Esplanade when a group of roos hopped across the road to feed on the other side.

Instead of slowing down or stopping to avoid them, the driver deliberately steered the ute at them, PETA said.

A number were killed, including two joeys.
