The government of Victoria in southern Australia has culled around 700 wild koalas that lost their food source due to bushfires by employing aerial shooting methods. The fires damaged eucalyptus forests, which are the primary food source for koalas, prompting authorities to euthanize affected koalas to relieve their suffering. Despite controversy surrounding the decision, authorities argued this was a compassionate action to prevent further suffering, given the koalas' declining health and inaccessible habitat conditions.
