Save the koalas

Koalas are Australia's own... As you may know you can not get them anywhere else in the world... So why is it that our so called proud country of  Australia has been shooting them? If you are living in Australia and you watch the news you would have seen the story on the koalas... If it wasn't bad enough that these animals are killing them and their trees are being cut down now they have the rangers shooting them as well!

A lady saw a koala on the side of a busy road and called the rangers... She said the koala had been very gentle and friendly letting her children pat it and get close... The rangers came and took it and the woman got no info untill the next morining about what had happened to the koala untill the morining when they called and told her they shot it! Aparently the koalas are suppose to go into a special sanctuary which the rangers had told the public but that is not what they were doing... A man who use to work there told the people exactly what they were doing... He said that they would do the shooting early in the morining or late at night so no one could see or hear anytthing... and apparently they would train the people who worked there to shoot them in a special way! Then they would carry them of into the national park and dump them there for the animals to get! The news crew went to check if what the man was saying was true and sure enough there were bones every where and not only that there was half a koala (the other half had probably been eaten by now!) So what the man said was true! But the sick thing about this is that they didn't even bother to bury it! But the worst thing is they were shooting them and lieing to the public saying that they were being put in a sanctuary! 

The man also reported that the boss would tell the emlployes not to say anything but then the man just said "no" and that he couldn't do it anymore!

This is a very huge matter and it is sick how australia is treating its animals not only are they shooting them now, they are cutting down their trees! Do you know that  a mum and a joey koala alone need 5 TREES! and 20 trees will only supply 1 koala with enough food for only 1 year!

The thing is that if you look back at 1788 and see how much habitat the koalas had then and then you go look at 2007 it is a huge difference and very dissapointing you can look on http://www.savethekoalas.com/ if you want to see it!

Now you may think there are alot of gum trees well yes there are but not the sort that the koalas eat! They only eat a certain kind! The Government should be plating more trees but not just normal ones... the actual ones that the koalas eat!

I believe this is a very important issue and it should stop now!

I understand that you have been doing a great job the past years trying to help the environment but really if you have seen the news on what has been happening to the koalas you must think that your hard work has gone down the drain!

Everyone really apreciates all the work you do to save the environment but with plating trees on http://www.savethekoalas.com/ you have to pay to plat them! I know that makes sense but do you only plant them if someone pays for it? If so shouldn't you plant even if no one pays for it? I hope you are doing that because as you know the koalas habitat has dropped way below what it was in 1788!

Also with the shooting... Has the government known about thsi long before it was broadcast on the news? Has it been your little secret? Becuase that is a really sick thing to do to a poor innocent creature like the koala! I trust you are going to put a stop to this immediatly!

WE know you are in the right so please do the right thing and stop this inhumane act against the koalas!
