Koalas of Australia urgently need gloves for their fire-burned paws that are devastating the nation, caused by the extremely hot temperatures of this last period. For this reason, the International Fund for Animal Welfare has launched an appeal to exhort simple donations DIY cotton gloves to help injured animals.
In fact, numerous koalas have been killed. And countless others were found with their paws burned. To heal their wounds then clean 100% cotton fabrics are needed. The treatment for koala burns is quite similar to the treatment for human burns. When they come into treatment, in fact, they receive a treatment with anti-burn cream and their paws are covered with bandages, before being protected with cotton gloves.
'We don't know how many gloves we need - explains an IFAW spokesperson for the Daily Mail Australia. We don't even know how extensive the injuries will be but we want to have the gloves ready to apply on the paws when koalas will come into care to help protect the wounds ”.
How are gloves made for marsupials? It is the International Fund itself that explains it. Just use fabric made from cotton sheets or tea towels. The fabric should be cut following the model provided and then sewn.
All animals, if they are saved and treated in time, will be released once healed and they will return to have a normal life. For information Please send the gloves to: IFAW, 6 Belmore Street, Surry Hills 2010, Australia and volunteers will distribute them where they are needed most.
