This beautiful koala was medically cleared days ago. But when a volunteer went to release him, he nearly jumped back into his arms. He’s not emotionally ready to go back yet, so will stay with a carer until he feels confident enough.

The death of Anthony Van Dyck is no "freak accident". A horse dies *at least* once every 3 days in Australian racing. The risk is known, but deemed to be a risk worth taking in the pursuit of gambling profits.
