I want to thank Byron Council for including the flyer in The Echo about koalas and dogs. There is so much ignorance when it comes to protecting our wildlife. I know a man who traps and kills cats on his property, yet lets his dogs run wild and kill koalas.
Australia is a cruel backward country for animal protection. Most Australians love animals and almost every home has a dog or a cat.
When it comes to the Council election in December, I will vote for the person who has a compassionate and intelligent approach towards animals, because a government who is indifferent to animal suffering will not care for its people.
Thank you for everything you do.


For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
