Victorian farmer responsible for deaths of 74 koalas

 



James Troeth, an 85-year-old farmer, has been handed a $34,000 fine for his role in the deaths of 74 koalas in Victoria's southwest.

He had purchased the 62-hectare blue gum plantation in early 2019 with plans to clear the land for livestock farming.

74 koalas were either found dead or had to be euthanised after suffering serious injuries, malnutrition and dehydration. Some 184 koalas were caught alive and able to be released into alternative locations...........
