RUPERTKBD Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Someone cutting onions in here? This is a cartoon drawn by a young lady named Shania-Mae Sturm. She lives in Western Australia and drew it to honor the many animals who have died in these fires.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Being an animal lover and volunteer especially this makes me wish I had unlimited resources like someone named Bezos or Gates. I would conscript an army of firefighters, vets, etc, and send them down under to save as many animals as possible. It is painful to watch the koalas crying and sucking on water bottles.

xereau Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 A lot of these fires are being started by arsonists. Over a hundred been arrested this fire season... So, be careful as to what kind of gigantic geopolitical assertions you make from these 'stories'. People are dicks, man. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/bushfires-firebugs-fuelling-crisis-asarson-arresttollhits183/news-story/52536dc9ca9bb87b7c76d36ed1acf53f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Until they start giving draconian prison sentences to arsonists, these things will continue to happen frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
