Subject: (Au) Koala killing on the menu again

Hi,

On TV recently (see link below at abc tv) some conservationists were
again calling for the culling/killing of Koalas on Kangaroo Island off
the coast of South Australia. 

Please email Mr John Hill, South Australian Minister of the Environment
and keep the pressure on NOT to kill the koalas on Kangaroo Island.
Find the information you need about saving the koalas at The Australian
Koala Foundation http://www.savethekoala.com

Quote "JOHN HILL, SA ENVIRONMENT MINISTER: I guarantee, as a result of
you raising this interview, I will be getting emails and calls and media
requests from Japan and Britain and Belgium and France and everywhere
else, and the United States, because that's what happens every time this
issue is raised. "

Please help save the Koalas, unique and precious Australian animals.
Humans are the main threat to the Australian ecosystems, with the
Australian
human population ever increasing here due to natural growth and
immigration, and the Government would never be said "Lets
kill humans because they are irreparably damaging the Australian
environment".
It is so easy for some narrow minded Australian conservationists to tout
killing wildlife as an easy option to sterilization and other options.
