Cruelty and the Atlantic salmon farming industry

"Animal welfare claim launched against Tasmanian salmon industry by Animals Australia.If four million land animals — say cattle — died prematurely in this manner, there would be outrage. There would be regulatory intervention."

"Animals Australia is also asking Biosecurity Tasmania to investigate alleged animal welfare breaches in relation to seals, dolphins, seabirds and other wildlife injured in the process of salmon farming. Seals, dolphins and water birds are dying as a result of the operation of this industry. Seabirds are being entangled in salmon farm infrastructure, and seals and dolphins are being shot at with pellets, in order for the industry to deter them from these sea pens."

How media covers death and destruction in nature
Explicit content warnings needed for ecological disasters?

"Disasters that affect our ecosystems can generate anxiety, grief and a sense of helplessness, which media reporting can amplify."

"SA’s experience with the algal bloom suggests it’s time to extend the logic of existing media guidelines into the environmental domain. A dedicated framework for reporting on environmental disasters would not censor or dilute journalism. It would strengthen it." >>

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. >>
