From Dr Deb Kelly, Manager of Animal Welfare, DEWNR

There are a wide range of animals on Kangaroo Island and all have been impacted by the widespread fires. What you can, and should, do with them depends on the species. They can be divided into four groups:

• Owned animals – sheep, cattle, dogs, horses etc
  
• Feral animals – pigs, feral cats
  
• Unprotected wildlife species – galahs, little corellas, red wattlebirds, ravens and crows
• Other native fauna, including protected wildlife species - koalas, kangaroos, wallabies and echidnas
