Aussie g-men debate whether to kill 20,000 koalas on Kangaroo Island to relieve population pressure. They say that the koalas are eating themselves out of house and home, and besides, the little buggers aren't as cutencuddly as you might think.
…[T]he image of Kangaroo Island could one day show that "virtually every tree was dead and lying underneath those trees were the carcasses of koalas that had starved to death".
