yo i understand the animal population depletion is a horrible consequence of the aussie bush fires and those animals are an important and adorable part of the now devasted environment, BUT before u go into white-vegan-feminist mode and donate money to charities exclusively assisting animal preservation, pls consider the 100s and 100s of Australians, especially indigenous australians who are being displaced and are now homeless, as well as the volunteers working tirelessly to help these people and fighting these fires, and that these people should be the first people u help, not animals. animal life is not more important than human life and never will be and if your way of appealing to people to help with the fires is via promoting animal charities then you’re at best extremely unhelpful and at worse, a racist. that aside, there’s no one to help animals without people. help people first, animals second, because people need help the most right now.
