I hate it when people say pray. It's just so idiotic. Do something, as praying is literally the same as choosing to do nothing.

My heart goes out to all the victimized animals.😰 Stupid Aussies re-elected the Morrison government and helped killing animals and damaging the environment. “Every nation has the government it deserves.” AwfulStralia doesn't deserve that part of the planet.🤬

Lynn Morello 6 years ago
It is devastating that we have lost so many animals and they are unique to Australia, and even when the fires have gone, the ash and the residue will still be there for such a long time. When the animals come in search of help they come directly to humans now, I hope and pray that those humans they approach are kind and giving and not cruel and vile.

I do hope that an arsonist will see this, and they have nightmares for ever, for their actions and what they can cause. Maybe now, the undergrowth will not be allowed to take over, to make matters worse.

Definitely time to stop the blame game and make sure it never happens again to this magnitude and if it does, we are ready with all the right equipment. For those in office, who can affect change, do nothing for the future, you may as well go in the middle of all this and hold these animals and people, while the fire ravages you along with them.

Maybe because this is not only about Australia. There are more bushfires everywhere, and maybe this refers also to the Amazon Fires from 2019, maybe that's why there is a sloth. All the bushfires worldwide are happening due to climate change and its all our homes that are in danger.

But it *should* be sad. Making it less sad is the opposite of what should be done. It's a tragedy & playing it off as if it's not is disrespectful.
Load More Replies... Batty 6 years ago (edited)
I feel this one is -- for lack of better words -- taking the p**s. The Australian fires are a serious issue & adding irrelevant memes is disrespectful in my opinion. It completely discredits the suffering of real animals. Kanga & Roo from earlier is actually great because they're kangaroos & seeing them represent the horror faced by real kangaroos really hits home & shows the impact of the fires. In fact, I made a tribute using Australian movie characters who advocate nature preservation (I wonder if you can guess from my username). These characters aren't even remotely related to the issue & it's in bad taste to use them here.
Christi Clare 6 years ago
Batty - your post is pretty judgmental. That artist is using characters that mean something to him/her. I really don't think they were making light of the situation. No one asked you to judge the pictures .....have you ever heard the saying "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"?

This is what happens when a country's leader is influenced by fossil fuel companies and other industry, and denies climate change instead of encouraging investment in alternative sources of power. The Amazon is being cleared for industry, America's National Parks are being opened up for exploitation - short-sighted business and their political enablers are only interested in making money now, and don't care that by doing so, they are damaging the planet we all share, and everything that lives on it. Protest, and vote out everyone who denies climate change.

I am living in Australia and I have seen first hand the devastation and heartbreak that these fires have caused. My sister and her family had to evacuate and even though they were lucky, many people and animals around them were not. The loss of life, the loss of wildlife and domestic animals cannot be counted, it's in the millions and this counting has only just begun. We may eventually recover from the fires but I don't think as a nation, we will ever be the same.

Something as careless as a lit match or a poorly put out campfire during a dry season with little to no rain, it can cause major damage and loss of wildlife and their habitats.

When the fires were really bad, I was chatting about it with my mother. She told me a bunch of people were staying on the beaches and if the fire got too close, everyone had to be put in the ocean. This was done with the full knowledge some people would die, but it was the best option. That broke my heart.
