kc, just to add to your concerns...kangaroos are culled.

And on Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia, a culling programme was introduced in the 1990s to cull koalas. Cute, cuddly koalas. You can imagine the international outcry that provoked.

I knew about the kangaroo cull Piglet, and argued with many an Aussie about it, and possum culls too. Surprised by the koala killing though, but having heard some male koalas screeching at night, I don't think of them as quite so cute and cuddly anymore! Fell in love with the quokkas on Rottnest Island - please don't tell me they're shot too.

I am pretty sure the quokkas are safe. We are not barbarians.

Funny story about sleeping in a tent and thinking it was raining during the night, only to realise a koala was peeing from the tree above!

What did you think was happening when the koalas pooed - freak hail storm?

Rich99999, are you saying I lack being human? Hmmm...interesting...

I have been called much worse, by much better people!

Tne Guardian is calling it Australia's Diana moment!

I thought they had their Diana moment after Michael Hutchence's bit of pleasure went wrong....
