While
newscasters blabber about homes destroyed in the Austrialian fires, I
have been wondering about the animals. Of course, not a word about
them in our anthropocentric news, until today:
Up
to 500 million mammals, birds and reptiles – including 8,000 koalas
– have been killed, say ecologists from Sydney University,
prompting fears entire species of animals and plant life may be lost
for ever. More than 300 baby flying foxes have been abandoned by
their mothers trying to survive, experts said. Jenny Packwood, a
wildlife rescuer, told
The
Herald:
“Mothers are abandoning babies at two weeks after birth because
there is no food for them. Last week we had 300 come in, and we’ve
been flat out feeding since then. “I’ve never seen anything like
this before – we’re calling it a starvation event.” “There’s
no grass for the ’roos, no insects for the birds, the leaves on
eucalypts are brittle, ensuring starvation for koalas, gliders,
possums, birds, insects.”
THIS
is a true holocaust -- a real
fire of apocalyptic proportions. “Five hundred million” -- the
number is almost unfathomable. It is an ecocidal wipe-out of a
continents innocent wildlife... beautiful creatures all of them who
never deserved this fate.
I
could give a shit for the humans rushing for safety to the ocean...
the ocean whose dead sea corral they killed with their avarice and
indifference. May the sea break out in flames. I have no pity for
them. None. Zip.
The
Greens have called for a Parliamentary commission to look into the
Government's handling of the climate crisis. What candy assed
bullshit. Morrison and his gang of industry pimps and thugs should
be lined up against a wall and shot. Better yet, they should be
forced to walk into the flames at gunpoint. All of them....
But
the average “decent, hard working, hard playing Australian” is no
better. While a holocaust consumes his homeland and wipes out its
wild-life, what are they doing? Watching fireworks in Sydney. The
drooling, stupid, indifference is as criminal as the Government's
ecocidal avarice.
The
human race is a complete, utter, disastrous failure. A mistake as
colossal as Creation itself. We deserve to be wiped out. The
tragedy is that before we are, everything else will be wiped out
first.
