The alleged killing and starvation of koalas in southwest Victoria is under investigation after several animals were put to vet care on Friday.

According to the animal activists, hundreds of koalas were killed or injured during logging activities. More than fifty injured koalas have been rescued from the sight and are being cared for by volunteers. "A logging harvest was completed in late December 2019, where reports came in about the plight of hundreds of starving koalas," Friends of the Earth claims.
