Geelong, Victoria

Check out this incredible work of art! 🐨 😮
〰️
Using just a small leaf rake, artist Breathe A Blue Ocean completed this 120-metre-long artwork in Geelong in under 2 hours.
〰️
“I don’t count steps or use GPS or drones to guide me. It’s a freestyle type of drawing method, I build it piece by piece,” they said.
〰️
"It’s about vision and emotion and this piece was how I envisioned the wildlife in Australia’s fires."
〰️
If you look closely, bushfire smoke covers the sky and you can see the tiny speck that is Breathe A Blue Ocean standing in the middle of the artwork.

Needed to repost this important message from @animallib #repost
・・・
While the world rightfully mourns the loss of half a billion wild animals killed in Australia’s devastating fires, hundreds of thousands of dead and burnt farmed animals are too often forgotten.

These animals, unlike wild animals, never had as much of a chance to escape the fires. Held in fences designed to keep them in, dead cattle and sheep who fought to survive are seen along fence lines which have become graveyards for their charred bodies.

The media coverage of these deaths has focused predominantly on the financial loss to farmers who legally own these thinking, feeling beings. Stories of cattle being shot and killed after they are injured in the fires direct their empathy towards those firing the guns rather than those with bullets in their heads.

Wild animals are rescued and we fight to save the lives of those most burnt, most injured. Farmed animals are killed because as a ‘product’ they are ‘ruined’, or because their care costs are steeper than the price a farmer would get for their dead body, had they ended up in a slaughterhouse rather than a bushfire. Their financial value is reported, their individuality is forgotten.

Of course, it is distressing for a farmer, or for anyone, to shoot and kill an animal like this. But the disconnect of our society is made clear when we see these killings as a tragedy, and the hundreds of millions of annual killings within Australian abattoir walls as acceptable.

We are, as a whole, compassionate people. We must remind ourselves of the pain we feel for the injured, dying and dead cattle and sheep we see affected by fires, every time we sit down for a meal. We must not be selective with our empathy, not block it out when it is convenient. It is in our nature to love and protect animals, let us live this way.

Our hearts are with every living being, human and non-human, wild and farmed, who is affected by these fires, who has lost, who has been pained, who is hurting.

Kangaroo Island South Australia

We are only just starting to see the extent of the damage caused by the tragic #KangarooIslandBushfires. It's a big island, and the recovery phase is well underway, and it’s estimated that 30% of the island has been affected. We are realising how much we need your help. If you are looking to donate or volunteer your time, we have put together a comprehensive list detailing how best to do this right now - link in bio.
We will continue to share information about the large areas of the island which remain unaffected and still incredibly pure. We will give you recommendations about what is open and what to see and do safely once the CFS has announced it is fully safe to do so. The way you, and the way we can help rebuild #KangarooIsland (for the long term), is through tourism. Tourism is Kangaroo Islands’ main industry and so the local operators are asking for your help to rebuild their livelihoods and businesses by continuing or planning a holiday to Kangaroo Island. #SeeSouthAustralia
Thank you to everyone who has donated, sent messages of support, gathered in communities to say a prayer on the other side of the world, volunteered their time and shared our posts – we are so very grateful and humbled by your sincerity.
