SAM THE KOALA

I cannot fathom the outpouring of grief following the passing of Sam the Koala. It was a fucking koala people!! Spare a thought for the thousands or millions of other animals that were killed in the tragic fires, never mind the people who died.
Sam wasn't a symbol, she wasn't a hero, she was a koala who wanted a drink, no more no less.

It was a feel good story amongst so much horror, and it's also not so much people making a big deal out of it as much as news makers trying to milk the story for all it's worth.

I find it amazing that a koala could take that long to die from it's injuries. You would have thought that after a few months it would be on the road to recovery.

The whole story about the devastating bushfires was just an awful tragedy and I hope governments, councils and residents learn something because to have so many people die from a bushfire in Australia in this day and age is staggering.

You have a very hard heart Bowie.

Seco, Sam died from cysts on her ovaries due to Chlamydia, not the injuries from the fire. Just an FYI there. And yes, we all know that Dean is not known for his love of a feel good story!

So Sam was a tramp?

Apparently about 50% of the koala population suffer from this - draw your own conclusions...

I blame the government for not implementing programs that raise awareness of this issue amongst koalas - is the government distributing condoms to koalas in an attempt to stem this disease?

We as a country are cearly not doing enough about it.
