Maureen, Makes you wonder why we are induced to imagine that we have the capacity to
" save the planet ". How are we going to save the planet when we have demonstrated that we can't even manage to conserve the species that live alongside us.

No silly Marty, I mean the crows and foxes etc don't seem to eat them. They just lie there forever until they fade away.....
We get mangey ones here - not a pretty sight or smell....poor things.

Re: EXTINCTION
You are right Bill, it is Sarcoptic mange. We had a dog caught it once from a mangey fox that had curled up on our front verandah and died overnight. It's caused by a nasty little mite. It literally rots the skin of the animals and they become putrid. Had a wombat here once that you could smell for ages after it had left. Had to put the poor thing out of its misery.
