Close to 700 koalas killed by authorities in Australia because of overpopulationDespite concerns about Australia’s dwindling koala numbers, Victoria’s state government conducted a secret cull to prevent overpopulation in a bushland areaauthorities have killed almost 700 koalas in secret culls to prevent overpopulation in a coastal bushland region after members of a starving colony were seen “falling out of trees”. The euthanasia operations were conducted between September 2013 and March 2014 in a colony of koalas in gum woodlands at Cape Otway, about 140 miles south-west of Melbourne. The koalas were taken from trees, sedated and assessed by veterinarians before being killed by lethal injection. |
