Re: Fires in Australia
Reading the links gives you a whole different perspective of the fires and how much worse it is than the "sanitised" news coverage here. Horrific, luck to your family @Jaye

Re: Fires in Australia
Anybody know if the areas that have NOT been hit with fire have seen a great influx of critters wild & domestic moving into their area ?

Re: Fires in Australia
I don't have any stats, but I imagine the numbers are large.
The number of status red and amber out of control fires has gone down quite a bit since this past weekend's spike (their status has been downgraded, not necessarily under control), but there are still so many fires spreading. It's far from over.
I recently watched a CBC documentary that I thought was quite informative:

Re: Fires in Australia
Update from Featherboard on AUstralia.
Australia
"The National Farmers Federation estimates that more than 100,000 sheep and 25,000 cattle have perished or been euthanized due to the ongoing fires. Expert forecasts suggest that 1.7 million sheep and 450,000 cattle may be affected before fires are under control. No information on poultry barn losses is forthcoming at this point."

Re: Fires in Australia
It's so sad I think the wildlife is so confused they don't know what they are doing, I've seen videos of animals going back into the fire area.
