  2. Koalas at risk of death once seven-day temperatures rise beyond 27C
    Nutritional and climate refugia for koalas

    "Extreme heat is a major factor in the number of deaths and hospitalisations of Australians every year....An analysis of 11,862 koala rescue admissions to NSW animal hospitals found the marsupials were more likely to die when the seven-day average maximum temperature was greater than 27 degrees Celsius."

    "Dr Mella said water stations could be left out as well as shade structures built for koalas in hot regions like north-west NSW. We do that for cattle and we do that for animals that we use for our needs, so we really should be doing it for wildlife as well."

    When koalas rests low to the ground in the shade trying to beat the heat they are usually chased and injured by dogs and car. >>

  8. The need for better standards in the Australian livestock industry

    "In the European Union... all member countries follow the same regulations for animal transport. European rules generally allow shorter journey times and require animals on long trips to be fed and watered during transport.
    Reforms along these lines should be implemented in Australia. The standards and guidelines should be enforced regularly and in the same ways across all Australian states."

    "All stakeholders involved in the cattle and sheep production chain should also be trained on low stress handling, being able to recognise stress and fear in animals, and educated on the minimal welfare standards."

    "High-profile incidents, such as the truck fire in northern New South Wales, can also damage public trust in the livestock industry and weaken its “social licence” to operate." >>
