“We are still gathering the details as to what has occurred in this case but it would appear that there are various breaches of legislation, including the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, which we will be supporting authorities to pursue,” they said on social media.
The logging took place on a plantation in Victoria, 12-14km west of Portland. Picture: Twitter – @AnimalsAusIt's unclear how many koalas were killed during the logging.

😣😥😫😪🙁😓😔😱😨😰🤧
sad and shameful when it could have been avoided
deforestation. Does anyone respect animals? scottmorrison does nothing good for the occupants of Australia..only the money people. koalas
On top of Gillard and Bob Brown locking up the forests which led to the recent koalacide of the fires!
Haha stupid media. They litterally had to cull them years ago due to them killing all the trees and starving to death! Photos only show a couple. That is a long way from hundreds!
Most humans are scum!
How appalling! They should charge them 😡
Considering we’ve lost koalas 🐨 in the fires 🔥 why are we losing more? That’s the question I want to ask these people
'Koala spotters' I can imagine they have zero fucks if they see a koala in the tree , and there is no way they are going to halt trees getting cut down when they do see one. As I'm sure who every their boss is would chew them up for halting any work..... humans are shit
People over-breeding means more people need somewhere to live. These poor koalas are the innocent victims of suburbanisation.
Absolutely dreadful 💔💔💔
THIS👇Had NOTHING to do with fires either & news-com-au🤐? WHY the Anti-Logging Activism news-com-au?
💔💔 poor koalas.
