So the sources posted that say otherwise are wrong?
And from your own link:
"The Koala is the only mammal, other than the Greater Glider and Ringtail Possum, which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and low in nutrition, and to most animals are extremely poisonous. To cope with such a diet, nature has equipped Koalas with specialised adaptations."
Which you either didn't read or chose to ignore.

This is only saying they can survive on a diet of Eucalyptus, not that they have to have a diet of eucalyptus
"Because koalas are so specialized in their diet, they can face serious consequences if they are deprived of eucalyptus leaves. Generally, they can only survive a few days without eucalyptus before experiencing nutritional deficiencies and dehydration. If food deprivation continues, they can suffer from liver and digestive system diseases, and ultimately, death.".

"But in nature if you watch newborn chick's being brooded over by an adult male you will see when the adult male poops the chick's will rush right in and devour it."
Errr...Hens do that. Not Cockerels.
May your God help your farm animals
If you even have any left?

"Animals are resilient.
So are humans.
Here is my crime.
Koalas can exist without the eucalyptis plant.
If found within the Animal welfare act please inform the thread."
Not according to the sources posted above.
The AWA does not specifically refer to Koalas but I was referring to your beliefs about feeding animals on poo.
