🐨 Saving Koalas In The 2020 Australian Bushfires

In this special episode of Bondi Vet, we sent Dr Alex Hynes to Adelaide to help efforts to rescue and care for animals impacted by the Australian bushfires.
Dr Alex visited a temporary emergency hospital set up to look after more than 100 koalas that are either orphaned, displaced or injured from one of the worst impacted areas, Cudlee Creek, where at least 25,000 koalas are thought to have perished in bushfires.

I'm sorry for all the people who's lost everything. I do, however, feel even more sorry for the animals, because they can't just move anywhere and rebuild. So many lives lost. So many precious animals hurt or killed. Absolutely heartbroken. And I want to thank a for donating time an knowledge to helping. And money for saving all that can be saved.

I’m glad they finally made people aware of the plight of the animals. Here in the US we’ve had wildfires for the past several years and not once did I hear them talk about the animals. I’m so glad I’m starting to hear more and more that here in the US we have vets, wildlife careers, etc. who are going over to Australia to help with the animals. Now if they can only get some slow steady rain for a couple of months. 🕷

Wishing all our two--legged and four-legged and no-legged friends in Australia a quick release and recovery.

wzrubicon 1 The majority (not all but most) of our fires here in Australia are caused by lightning strikes. This happens every year. What makes it worse this year is the current drought and extreme temperatures. Thank you to everyone thinking of us and our wildlife

[@hopemags9642]

R. McBride so true I find Australia are very proud of their wildlife, especially the iconic koala bear 🐻 very heart breaking yet the rescues of all walks of life restore humanity. I think one of the most touching rescue was the lady who rescued the koala and wrapped him in her blouse and sadly he didn’t make it but that lady did everything she could for him just beautiful how much love they show their wildlife. I am in Canada Ontario I was just reading that marineland a park with rides animals whales etc their bears were to be on birth control and one of the bears had 4 cubs the ceo of marine land told staff leave the cubs and let nature take its course which would be the male bears eating the new cubs and one staff member was against that and she was able to rescue 3 of the cubs from the enclosure sadly the 4th was killed before she could get them all to safety so Canada is no better. I think both Canada and the USA and many other countries could learn from the down under.

@Al Pal Yes thank you, you answered all my questions. When talking about Trump, you hit the nail on the head. That man never should have gotten the Presidency. I'm a Republican but I did not vote for him. Because of that man, our country is suffering. We've got the Right Wing and Left Wing fighting over the Impeachment and now he's got us on the verge of going to war with Iran. Not matter how we look at it, we will always have crazy people running our countries and there is nothing we can do about it. I pray the fires end soon and everyone can start the healing process. Best Wishes and Prayers from Alabama.

[@suem6004]

Those koalas are the most domesticated wildlife I have seen. To allow humans to handle them, feed them... very easy going. Not even many domesticated cat patients behave so nicely. I do wish the vet nurses got more credit. We can do everything vets do except diagnose, prescribe tx, surgery, and prognosis. All treatments, labs, monitoring, emergency calls, and assisting done by vet nurses.

[@nordic5490]

The Koalas here were burnt, starving and dehydrated, come in a state of shock. Koalas will not normally let humans get too close, and they bite. Plenty of rescuers have been bitten this season. I have koalas in my yard, btw.
