Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Hundreds of
starving koalas killed in Australia
Starving to death
or injection for euthanasia? That sounds very difficult to choose for cute, innocent
and harmless wild animal like the koala. However, living in the wild isn’t that
easy or simple because those animals have to find enough food to live, on top
of the protection from poachers or predators. When there are naturally occurring
disasters such as wild fires, floods or draughts, those vulnerable may starve
to death. So do when their population grows to the level where the environment
cannot provide enough food to sustain the population. That seems to have
happened in southeastern region in Australia where hundreds of wild koalas were
euthanized for the last two years. Critics are blaming the government for their
mismanagement. Authorities are saying the smell of the dead koalas had been
unbearable.
Enjoy reading and
thinking what could have been done in the first place or to deal with the
situation.
