Doug the koala dies - ABC News


The deliberate harm suffered by our defenseless baby koala was an inhumane attack. What was in the mind of the human being - or beings as they did this?
Will the next inhumane attack be on a fellow human ?
Sadly for us and the endangered koala species, one more dies.

The baby koala affectionately known as Doug has died after being shot with an air rifle north of Brisbane this week.

The male joey had been on life support at the Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast, after he and his mother were found on Tuesday with slug gun wounds at Morayfield.
The joey, who was months old and weighed only one kilogram, died late this afternoon on an operating table.
He had also been suffering from pneumonia and was on oxygen because of the poor condition of his lungs.
Yesterday vets said the koala was expected to make a full recovery.
Police and the RSPCA are still looking for the person responsible for the attack.

Doug the koala dies - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) has reported this and earlier stages of the terrible and uncalled for tragedy.
