Wildlife affected by bushfires.

Sammag

Guys we're all reading the horrendous devastation caused by the current bushfires to local Victorian's and their families, it's utterly heart-wrenching.

If you can try and donate a few $'s to help support the injured, orphaned and terrified wildlife. I'm sure the animal carers and support organisations will be so grateful, even for a just a few bob as it all adds up.

Thousands of animals I'm sure have been killed or seriously burnt. Particularly Koalas and Possums, which instinctively climb to the top of trees when confronted by danger. The fire/heat is so intense that the eucalyptus oil in the leaves explodes into fireballs.
Native fauna, even Kangaroos and Wallabies have no chance to outrun the fire-front abetted by hot gusty winds. Many more will starve to death in the months ahead as their habitat is destroyed.

Please visit the following websites and see if you can help in any way.
Some shelters will be simply seeking blankets, towels and of course financial assistance.

Definitely a worthy cause Sammag and often forgotten amongst the human tragedy.

The Australian Wildlife Health Centre at Healesville Sanctuary (where there are still large fires burning according to the latest CFA report) is another good cause to donate to. It is temporarily closed but they expect to be inundated with injured and orphaned wildlife when they reopen.
