Petition: List Koalas as Endangered Species!

vegan-rage:

Chlamydia, an infection normally found in humans, is taking a huge toll on the koala population and rendering them infertile. Although it isn’t fatal, it causes problems such as upper respiratory infections, conjunctivitis, and in many cases, infertility. About 40% of Australian female koalas are now infertile.


Currently there is no vaccine. We ask that you intervine by implementing stategies and listing the koala as an endangered species. Left untreated, this epidemic may lead to the extinction of the koala in as little as a few decades.
