    So the “official” reason was because the koalas were suffering after a brushfire. Except…

    In perhaps the most bizarre twist, the fires had been contained and extinguished in early March. The department waited a month before any action was taken and local carers indicated that if they hadn’t seen the helicopters and heard the shooting, the public would have been none the wiser.

    Incompetent, cruel, or both?

      As a stand alone headline, it’s pretty fucking ugly.

      Koalas, according to the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), were suffering from burns, injuries and starvation as a result of the fire and in need of euthanasia.

    Whether this is as a result of too few people siloed away in the decision making room, or some more degenerate decision making process by DEECA they’ve committed an environmental crime. (Maybe not a crime by law of course)

    Like, these are Koalas, if these fuckers needed help, theres near on 25 million soppy cunts ready to run into the forrest waving Manna Gum branches at them, or whatever it is that was deemed needed to actually help the population survive.

    It baffles me that they’d think a call for volunteers to go into the forrest to help this Koala population wouldn’t yield better results.

    It’s so sad that I’ve just decided to dissociate into a fantasy world in which this is just a cover-up for the war against drop bears that Australia is secretly losing. I might be wrong, but there’s a slim chance I may be validated when the news reports that a “koala” has killed the prime minister.

    We don’t deserve to exist on this planet. What the fuck is wrong with us?

    Yeah who needs koalas anyway right. Why don’t we also remove the wildlife signs from roads too since we’re at it

    This is upsetting

    What the hell. Wouldn’t this have been a job for wildlife rescue and park rangers?

    Am I missing something?

      They are surely gona have to have an investigation about the decision making process behind this. Its such a obtusely cruel outcome they’ve decided.
