‘They’re all dying, aren’t they dad?’ asks boy, 7, as wildfire crisis escalates, Tim Faulkner said his son, Matty, seven, told him: ‘Dad, everything is dying’, as they took the picture which ‘speaks a thousand words’. The nature and wildlife expert, who hosts the show ‘outback adventures’, said wallabies were starving, dehydrated and at further risk from predators and traffic due to the out of control blazes devastating the country.
“‘They’re all dying, aren’t they dad?’
WE are all going to die. This looks staged..
I will gladly stand up against arson.
[[Exactly what is “the world” suppose to do about local arsonists?]]
Pat Trillions and Trillions and Trillions of dollars to combat something we don’t dont’ and can’t control of course
[[innocent, helpless animal]]
You’re taking a lot for granted- who knows, it could have been a career criminal- stealing from people’s gardens, doing drugs, robbing it’s neighbors, heavy drinker- we just don’t know-
Reminds me of the dead kid on the beach that people used to gain sympathy for the “refugees”.
Can’t wear hemp clothing - still need oil in the process somewhere to make them.
Can’t - environmentalists prevented them from doing that.
Okay, I’m awake to the mass devastation. What, specifically, should I do now to save cute marsupials from fire in Australia?
What happened to forest management?
If the issue were climate-change drought, they wouldn’t have this happen again.
Hope any remaining Tasmanian Tigers aren’t killed off....if there were any left. What a shame.
Not that I am for the brutal deaths of millions of koalas, kangaroos, and other various little furry animals, but let’s face it—the reaction to the Australian fires is largely dependent upon the visuals. We don’t respond in the same manner to the death of snakes, hyenas, and other creatures purely because of the cuteness factor.
Well... For THEM I'd donate for a few bullets...
Animals die in brush fires. That’s a shame, but not a crisis in itself.
Babies dying in abortion clinics, on the other hand. . .
“Wake up”
I’m woke. Heatwaves don’t ignite
wildfires,
Watch your mouth.
The true arsonists are the eco-freaks that ban brush clearing, etc.
A real American would never call a long standing ally of the U.S A a ‘fake country’. Maybe an inbred one would, which I suspect you are. Jerk. We have some fine Americans downunder helping us battle fires. You wouldn’t be fit to shine their shoes
“There is no sign of fire in the picture. Could just be road kill.”
You’re not seeing the smoke in the background.
it doesn’t matter as long as you establish and emotional bond with this heart wrenching photo of a young child.
Like wearing an armband.
