Koala put to rest

The sad death of beloved Koala at Australia Zoo meant the loss of a friend for many. However, this event has attracted so much publicity that Bio Reserach Labs animal branch working with the zoo, have managed to fund raise enough Australian dollars to give the threatened zoo a reprieve, and keep it open at least for the forseable future.

The Lab set up a protest group, whose activities involved TV appearances, leaflet and poster campaigns, presentations with powerpoint at schools and a pickett line with animal masks and banners.

Public opinion was thankfully swayed, and the money is rolling in.

Here, three of the scientist team enjoy a moment feeeding the baby koalas in the nursery. Watch out for the one with a new tooth through!
