Over 1bn Animals Feared Dead in Australia Bushfire

It's estimated over a billion animals have now died in the bushfires ravaging Australia. Dickman had no doubt the loss of wildlife across the country was over one billion - even that would be a "very conservative figure", he said. This estimate was confirmed by World Wildlife Fund Australia's environmental scientist Stuart Blanch, who told HuffPost it would be a modest guess.

A University of Sydney spokesperson previously said while many would have been directly killed by the fires, others were dying of starvation, lack of shelter, and newly introduced predators such as feral cats and red foxes.

Prior to the fires, an influx of grey-headed flying foxes had been admitted to Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital due to drought conditions and a lack of food. Now that the fires were wiping out their habitats, more were being treated, according to conservationist Bindi Irwin. The zoo on the Sunshine Coast was just one of many wildlife hospitals caring for injured wildlife affected by the fires, and had so far treated 90,000 animals.

Human beings are responsible for the death of all 1billion innocent animals. Come forward and help to take care rest of the animals in Australia.
