Selling the fur from dead koalas

No

No! For God's sake let the poor creatures have a little more dignity than that!

No! definitely not, so sad that so much of Australia's unique wildlife has been destroyed, not the way to remember them. Fur should only be worn by the animal inside anyway

It seems quite a practical idea to me, and I'm sure there would be plenty who would buy.

No. Find this idea repulsive.

I would not wear the fur myself, but cannot get het up about it, the animals are dead and if the money is given to charity. No waste there.

No no no no no!

Very bad taste. OK, so the proceeds go to a good cause, but I wouldn't buy anything like that.

Fur is fur.
I would no longer wear it.

Selling any fur at all just promotes a market for it - so no!

No no no no.
What an arse hole he is wanting to make money out of a disaster.
If he really wants to give how about his time.

No.
I just checked him out - oh, yes, I watched a couple of episodes and remember him as a very strange person.

A repulsive idea. Besides which, on a practical level, koala fur would not be suitable and could be burnt anyway. Poor creatures.

Several charities including WWF are offering aid and donations would be welcome as it is going to take a long time to nurse animals affected by the fires back to health and populations may never recover in the wild.

I’m surprised that the fur would have been in a good enough condition to sell.

I worry that, if there is a market for the fur of the already dead koalas, how long will it be before some despicable individual decides to profit by killing healthy koalas?

Its use is banned anyway.
The Apprentice throws up some very strange people. He says his circle of friends thought it was a good idea.

Ahh! I've seen who The Apprentice person is............it all makes sense now I did rather hope the odious, self opinionated 'anker aspiring young businessman would wander off into the sunset with his female counterpart, Lottie. A union made in hell if ever there was one. If I remember rightly her daft idea was some exclusive club for "countrywomen", maybe such women would contemplate wearing bits of Koala, fashioned by "laydee" stylist Mark whatisface. Although it could be a long haul until he turns a profit, Empires weren't built in a day! I can almost imagine the brow of his mentor furrowing even more deeply than usual, at such a prospect, if that's at all possible!

TerriBull....love it!

I would love to know what Alan Sugar's response was!!

The amazing thing is that this Mark Wotsit says he has a circle of friends who all thought this was a good idea.
Are they all like him I wonder?

But, just to throw something into the mix, what about using the fur as blankets for orphaned koalas?

Baby ones live in pouches, good idea phoenix, we could start a business making pouches for orphaned baby animals from the skins of their dead parents.

For anyone about to jump in and castigate me, I am not serious.
Just and

Not a business Callistemon as I'm sure you meant, just something that might help the orphans. If the person with the bright idea would like to turn it round to doing some good with no thought of profit...........

this morning he used the argument that most people ear leather in some form or other and when told that it was a byproduct of eating meat and to many people was acceptable his response was why weren't we all feeling sorry for the cows.
There was a lady on the programme to give the opposite point of view and the presenters agreed with her.

Perhaps this young man will go the same way as the disgraced extreme right winger Milo Yiannopolous who is now broke and living in Australia.
