So much has happened...One of the biggest things has been the Australian bush fires in Victoria. We all know about the tragic loss of lives and it deeply saddens me. I'm happy to see the strength in people pulling through and helping each other.
Our wildlife has taken a huge blow during this time as well. It is estimated that the wildlife death toll could top one million or more. Owners have been parted from their pets during the panic and rush to leave their homes.
Volunteers have worked around the clock to save the surviving wildlife and companion animals. They have treated burns and infections, respiratory conditions and worse. I shed many, many tears over the loss of people and animals in these fires. I only wish there was more I could do to help. I have no income I cannot donate. I wish I could donate my time and effort to help.
Bless you, all of you hero's and angels donating your time, money, effort, energy to helping fight the fires, save lives of all kinds.
Good luck to all. Here are some photos of the lucky ones to make it through...I think they tell the story better than I can.
If your touched you can help here:

This just breaks my heart. The pictures really do say it all so well. If only we could explain to the animals what has happened and that we will do our best to help them. I can't imagine what must be going through their heads. Many would say just the instinct to survive, but I can't believe it stops there. They cry for their mates and families just as we would, even if it looks different to us. I can only hope that any suffering is kept to a minimum.
This is not fun to look at, but it's important to see. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Chris, yeah it isn't fun to look at but is important.
It is so sad and heartbreaking but I can assure you, millions have been donated to help and hundreds of volunteers to help with the animals.
Suffering is being kept to a minimum. Lots of pain relief and if animals cannot be saved, they are put down to avoid further suffering,
Thanks for commenting :)
