Horrible! I don't know what to say honestly, I can't even imagine how that must feel for them. I'm glad to read they got away safe themselves and most of it is "stuff" but these animals, poor things. I hope they didn't suffer too much, but maybe it's best to not think about it, as there was clearly nothing they could have done about it. Nature at its roughest and most dangerous. :(
Australia has always been a brutal place, harsh and tough on people. That's why Australians themselves are like they are. The fires are still burning and not getting much better to be honest. But we will battle on as a country and get it sorted.
Those animals, and millions others, have probably suffered unfortunately; I can't imagine burning to death is pleasant for an animal, any more than it would be for a human. It's pretty sad really. Maybe best not to think of it too much.
Anyway yes, houses are just things so a good thing not more lives have been lost.
Thanks for reading and commenting. Much appreciated.
I didn't know that (that the people are harsh and tough) honestly, I have nothing but nice contact with people in Australia, but I think a big part of them moved there so that may be the difference. For some reason, my feeling still tells me that eventually (maybe in 10 years but still) we will end up living in Australia. But these fires and stuff are somethings I never realized.
I think you are right, they must have suffered, I don't want to think about it too much as I seriosuly can cry about it even though they aren't my animals. I've seen a video of a koala screaming from the pain and it's still in my head. I have more trouble processing animals getting killed like that, than humans. While it's super horrible for them as well.
I feel ashamed as I read part of the post earlier when you linked it in a comment and forgot to comment so that's why I came back ;) Take care!
You misunderstood...Not harsh in temperament towards others . Tenacious...Hard working and with great perseverance...when adversity strikes, such as with the fires. We live in a harsh country that hits hard when it hits...And we are a strong people, unflappable...Tough of spirt, and strong in will, quick to rebound and to help a mate in need.
Hopefully that makes it clearer.
Yes, and I like that!
