Please DONATE to the ANIMAL WELFARE effort by clicking the following link to the RSPCA website donation page:http://tinyurl.com/ahajl7INTERNATIONAL DONATIONS WELCOME!!!!!!!------------------------------Our hearts are with all the families, firefighters and our animal friends who have been affected.- Liberty Australia http://la.org.au---------------------------------------- -http://tinyurl.com/d6x3l9The Firefighter in the video is David Tree.He said he was in the middle of backburning at Mirboo North when he saw the stricken koala. "I could see she had sore feet and was in trouble, so I pulled over the fire truck. She just plonked herself down, as if to say 'I'm beat'," he said."I offered her a drink and she drank three bottles."The most amazing part was when she grabbed my hand. I will never forget that."Mr Tree and his brigade then received an emergency call-out to save a house, but minutes later Sam (The name the Koala has been given) was picked up by wildlife carers.She is one of 22 koalas, 14 ringtail possums, several wallabies and eastern grey kangaroos that have been handed into Gippsland carers.RSPCA Victoria3 Burwood HwyBurwood East, VIC 3151Ph: (03) 9224-2222Fax: (03) 9224-2200IFAW - International Fund for Animal Welfare8 Belmore StSurry Hills, NSW 2010Ph: 02 9288 4900Fax: 02 9288 4901Animal Aid35 Killara RoadColdstream, VIC 3153Ph: 03 9739 0300Fax: 03 9739 0400St John Ambulance Australia (Victoria)170 Forster RoadMount Waverley, Vic 3149Ph: 1300 360 455The Salvation Army - Australia Southern Territory5 Hamilton StreetMont Albert, VIC 3127Ph: (03) 9896 6000Fax: (03) 9899 2339Burn Foundation Of AustraliaPO Box 1172Crows Nest, NSW 1585Ph: 0404 012 121Fax: 02 9873 2054

over rated ?????? ARE YOU NUTS ?? This is the worst national disaster in Australia's history. 3,000 homes have been destroyed and over 200 people have died. Putting things in perspective Victoria has lost as many people as Mississipi did when Katrina struck and more people have died than the Oklahoma boming.
