Forest Destroyed By Loggers, Animal's Heartbreak After Losing Home




The little guy wandered back to his home in New South Wales, Australia last week only to find it had been cut down and chipped by logging operations. A volunteer with WIRES, a rescue operation licensed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, said the koala had been sitting on top of the wood pile for over an hour looking confused.

But because they can't speak or read English, or some other major language, we think they are dumb.

Little fellow out there alone after Devastation.

I see this for many of us..."Little Fellows" ...Out there ALONE...after the Devastation.

K&R! so sad.....and so timely.
