Me too, Mags.
I did mention this over a week ago.

So little is said on the news about the animals who are suffering or burnt to death. It is hardly mentioned.

I guess people can take small household pets with them if they have to evacuate, but what about the sheep, horses, etc, let alone all the probably millions of wildlife been destroyed.
Those who manage to live through the flames will have no food, water, or habitat left anyway.
It's heartbreaking.

I heard on the news this morning that almost a billion animals have died in the fires.

Although Wires has already been mentioned, another way is The World Wildlife Fund which is also responding to this emergency

ARCCG (Animal Rescue Collective Craft Guild) are also asking for things to be made like Joey poaches, crocheted bird nests etc.
If you are on FB there is a page about it. PM me for it if you like to do crafts.

Bit curious where your logic is going here. If they are lost, presumably dead, how are they being shipped alive to Muslim countries for religious slaughter? Two different issues really innit?

But whatever. I'm not a moderator here but I have to say; This thread is about donating to wildlife rescue from the bushfires. Can we stick to that track please?
