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

It astounds me that once again a demand to move a harmless native Australian animal living in Australian bushland so someone can ride around on an introduced species for fun gets to a point where a petition is even needed?
Although horses are allowed in there is surely if a horse is so skittish an emu scares it then riding in a popular mountain biking network isn’t where you should be in the first place .
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.
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.
