To all the do-gooders risking the lives of firefighters to save animals which are not highly evolved enough to get away from a fire: stop. If they can't get away from fire, it's nature's way of thinning the herd. Stop, because firefighters have enough to worry about without having to take a call about you because you were too misguided to get out of the fire zone. If a firefighter waits even a minute to think about you and your animal obsession, you could kill that firefighter while trying to save an animal - an animal which, despite having no natural enemies, is going extinct anyway. Humans before animals.
I don't care what it is that's causing these fires. I do care that it's an emergent situation to help our friends in Australia. B*tch all you like here. But do something to help them after you click "submit". Otherwise? STFU.
