Did you know native wildlife is being killed in staggering numbers right here in NSW? This devastatingly includes mothers with their young. This is happening right now, and it’s happening legally under government-issued “licences to harm.”

Since 2017, almost 1.9 million animals have been killed under these cruel licences. Every day this continues, more wildlife is lost.

Right now, we have a critical and rare chance to speak out against this system. The NSW Government has an inquiry into these licenses and the public can make submissions. Your voice can help stop this cruelty and push for humane alternatives for our Australian wildlife. But we must act now.

Never done a submission before? We have you supported with our in depth submission guide. Use this guide to help you. Your submission can be as long or as short as you’d like (even one sentence is ok). Every submission counts and helps be a voice to wildlife.

Please check our submission guide here: https://nsw.animaljusticeparty.org/licences-to-harm-submission-guide

Use your voice today for wombats, birds, dingoes, kangaroos, and countless other animals who urgently need your protection.

Morning everyone!
A bit of excitement yesterday afternoon!!
This fire was only about 200 metres from the shelter!! Thank goodness the wind was blowing from the west!!!
It is tinder dry here right now. We have had no decent rain since winter . The strong westerly winds though are wreaking havoc. Drying out already dry grasses and bushland. Wildlife is struggling to find feed and if we don't get decent rain soon out here, lack of water will become a problem too.
I bought more hay again yesterday and some fruit and vegetables to supplement feed the possums around here. Poor little things are in the feed bins at night looking for food. Life is pretty tough for wildlife out here right now.
Well, best be off to feed up. I'll then go down to check the fire as it had flared up again earlier this morning.
If you would like to donate to help for feed for the animals ive put the donation details in the pics.
You can also email Heather [email protected]
For a tax deductible receipt
Have a good day everyone, Tan🦘

Wombat update!
There has been no further sightings of the wombat called in on Saturday. Rangers and other carers are aware of this animal now. Thanks to everyone who went looking for him yesterday. If hes found i will let everyone know.
Wombats are very territorial. My guess is hes a young wombat who isn't coping and was probably suffering heat stress also when he was found.
On another note,
There is no need to lay blame at someone's feet! Ive done thousands of rescues over the decades of rescuing. Many rescues end with not locating the animals. The reasons are many and varied. People make decisions based on their knowledge and experience. Not everyone is an expert on wildlife rescue. Hence they call me or other carers for help. The fact that they called is a kindness in itself!! They are trying to get the animals help and they do their best until I can get there. Most of my rescues aren't just "up the road"! They are 100s of kms away. Sometimes the distance is the enemy. Not the people who called the rescue in.
Yes, its sad and frustrating when the animal has disappeared in the meantime. That's the reality out here. Sometimes s**t just happens and we just deal with it. Tan🦘
Thank you Shirley and the campers for your donation towards fuel for the rescue. 🥰❤️.

Morning everyone!
This poor wombat was called in late yesterday afternoon after campers in the Warrumbungle National Park came across him on a walk.
As you can see from the pic this animal is very underweight and very uwell. He had no obvious injuries either. He needed help asap!!
I left right away as its an hour and a half drive from here and it would be dark when I arrived.
In the meantime the very concerned campers would keep an eye on him.
Sadly he was gone when I got there. The campers looking everywhere to find him.
Hopefully he will be found today and I will once again drive back there. Fingers crossed🤞

I was outside trying to take pics of the beautiful Aurora when this little one made herself known. Its so very dry here, with nothing flowering or growing. The animals who usually feed off the flowering foliage are hungry. I hope we get rain soon for the Wildlife...

A huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to the very kind and generous souls who donated yesterday! The donations will help feed the orphaned joeys and to help with running costs of the shelter.
I took these pics this morning of a storm that I was sure we'd get. I was praying as it is so very dry here!! At the last minute it drifted south and all I could do was to watch it move away through the forest.
We have had no rain here. Its getting desperate now!!
I'll need to buy more hay to supplement the grass that isn't here. I really thought we would get a little. Still waiting, hoping and praying..
Have a safe and happy weekend everyone, Tan🦘

FIVER FRIDAY

Morning everyone,
This sweet girl is the rescue from Nyngan the other day.
A big THANK YOU to the very kind young woman who saw her in her dead mums pouch and went back to save her.
It was a big drive out there and back but isn't she worth it!!!
She was dehydrated from her ordeal but is settling in now and feeding well. She is also a sticky beak. Checking out the other joeys and at times touching noses with them.
Im off to the feedstore shortly on my weekly trip.
If you would kindly care to donate the details are in the pics.
Also, if you would like a tax deductible receipt could you please email Heather
with the amount donated and Heather will send you a receipt.

It's amazing the distances Tan covers for rescues. Mendooran to Nyngan is 2hrs 22 mins, one way.

Tan will do approx 5 hours of driving for this one rescue today. Not to mention all the times she stops to move deceased animals from the road along the way.

Safe travels Tan.
