We all have seen the horrific images of the brushfires in Victoria, Australia. Thankfully my family in NSW are unnaffected. And there is not much more heartbreaking than seeing Sam the Koala take water from a fireman and also realize that some of the fires were deliberately lit. The impact of those Koala pictures is much greater when you realize that Koalas and most Australian native animals do not readily approach people as these injured Koalas did.

Hundreds of thousands of native animals were killed and more injured. The animal care agencies are overwhelmed as you can imagine.
