One of the most tragic events to come out of the SA fires. I can not imagine what the families of these fur babies are going through this weekend. So very sad indeed , I just hope they died quickly . :cry:

Yes, just so awful. At least human beings understand what is happening. Animals, particularly those in cages, would be utterly terrified. Let's hope they were overcome by smoke inhalation before being burned.
Many hundreds of sheep also died, and certainly there would be similar amongst the native wildlife population.
Just heartbreaking.:cry::cry:
 
A terribly sad situation it is.

Spare a thought for the wildlife too. Some will outrun the fire, but then die due to lack of food or water afterwards. Others will no doubt have been burned or affected by the smoke.

For some truly spectacular footage of golden eagles hunting wolves in Mongolia, click on this link. (but not if you'll be upset by seeing eagles drag down and kill wolves)

Equally spectacular is the video of eagles hunting mountain goats.

And don't leave your babies or toddlers unattended while there are eagles around, either.

I was poking along on my motor bike behind a mob of sheep one day in western Queensland when a wedgetail eagle swooped down and carried off a decent sized lamb right in front of me.

Unrelated to that, it seems that I've gained a wallaby to add to the animal collection. He/she seems to have moved into the backyard and sleeps under a tree during the daytime. Already have mice, lizard and cat living here permanently, now have a wallaby too it seems. Possum comes around every night but I've no idea where it sleeps during the day.
 
It may not be the same organisation, but ABC Radio today broadcast a plea for people to provide booties for koalas with burned footpads.
Thank goodness for the generous spirit of people who care for the wildlife in these circumstances.
