Euthanasia of Neil should not be Plan A. Plan A should be legal protections enforcing consequences for approaching or tampering with Neil, and round-the-clock guard during his visits.
Tasmania needs to do better for its "famous" animals - having been part of the rehabilitation team for a Rockhopper Penguin who became dangerously malnourished when people wouldn't leave her in privacy and safety, I know that this isn't a one-time or one-animal issue.
You have hit & whacked me with sticks & wood. Although your actions seemed like protection, you've actually been hurting me which is not good.
You've electrocuted me with fences & driven into me with your land cruisers with attached bullbars.
Why can't you see you are hurting me, please stop this has gone too far.
You blocked my access & blasted my eardrums with horns.
I wasn't doing anything wrong; I was just relaxing & sleeping on the lawn?
I'm not your enemy & haven't caused any harm.
Tasmania is my home; the locals are my family & welcomed me with caring & loving arms.
Everyone please keep your distance I want to be wild & free.
If you don't respect the boundaries, they will honestly kill me.
I'm a national treasure; I'm family & your best friend.
Please love me from a distance, else my time will sadly & swiftly come to an end.
I love everyone, so please respect my space & just let me be.
If we all work together this will help protect me from harm & save me.
Love Neil xx

I have a Brumby mare. She is just brilliant and, as a mare, will not be adding to the numbers. Aerial shooting is barbaric. I believe *people*, pigs and deer do FAR more damage to the environment, and less than cattle grazing to reduce fuel loads. Control? yes. Shooting or shipping off to abattoirs? NO!
I have lived adjacent the Adelaide Golf course for 30 years, and walked among these glorious trees over 8000 times. The Adelaide Parklands are a unique treasure, keeping us cool as the climate warms. They were bequeathed to all of us, not to your Government. Major urban developments in Bowden and shortly Thebarton have (& will continue to) increased the number of residents needing green space to retreat to. Stop trading our precious natural resources to fund commercial interests. Your environmental vandalism is incredibly short sighted.
I have myself planted many trees on my very small block in kilburn. The difference it makes to the summer heat and the amount of wildlife that are in my garden at any given time is amazing. And my garden is not an established large area as are the parkland. To destroy any small part of it for the profit of a few is appalling. We are losing so much biodiversity every minute in this country. Please do not contribute further to this devastation.
Peter, I have lived in Adelaide for over 50 years. The Parklands of this city are our treasure. They are not to be frivolously altered for the sake of a strictly commercial venture. You've been a good Premier of this state, but this is a MAJOR mis-step. Please reconsider before it's too late.
As a parent of a former student at OC this is troubling. What’s the message to students - luxury sports fields and facilities matter more than preserving a threatened species and environmental degradation.
At another level it clearly shows that the fees are so excessive as to enable the school to expand facilities that are not essential and just feed the ego of the school community to be able to be even more ostentatious. I think the values are questionable.
Enough is enough Redlands Council - when are you actually going to stop development that destroys the natural habitat - you might as well change the Redlands logo to remove the koala because we soon won’t have any left. It’s as good as having the Dodo on the council logo.
Pets are considered family members vy their owners/guardians. It's long overdue for the law to reflect this. What happened to Arnie is equivelant to the same thing happening to a infant child strapped in the back seat - in this situation - and should be handled in the same. way.
The fact current legislation doesn't reflect this is as much a farce as Arnie's death was a disgraceful act (by the thief/s in question).
Make Arnie's Law a reality. Now.
Pets are more than just an animal they are part of the family and grief is real when they pass away. For a pet to die at the hands of heartless criminals who could have prevented this from happening must be devastating. The loss of the pet cannot be replaced through insurance unlike a car or other not living belongings, therefore the punishment must be inline with the severity of the crime.
