Close to 700 koalas killed by authorities in Australia 
because of overpopulation
Despite concerns about Australia’s 
dwindling koala numbers, Victoria’s state government conducted a secret cull to 
prevent overpopulation in a bushland area

authorities 
have killed almost 700 koalas in secret culls to prevent overpopulation in a 
coastal bushland region after members of a starving colony were seen “falling 
out of trees”.

The 
euthanasia operations were conducted between September 2013 and March 2014 in a 
colony of koalas in gum woodlands at Cape Otway, about 140 miles south-west of 
Melbourne.

The 
koalas were taken from trees, sedated and assessed by veterinarians before being 
killed by lethal injection.
