International community stepping up to save joey

I was having dinner when the story of a kangaroo joey rejected by its mother appeared on the evening news. The joey, who had been refused back into the mother's pouch after falling out, is currently receiving great aid from the international community. Special milk is being donated and flown in from Australia, the U.S. and Germany. And zoo keepers from the U.S., Australia, Germany, the Czech Republic and Belgium are giving special advice to the people caring for it to make sure the joey stays alive.

That kangaroo steak I was having for dinner just became oh so ironic.
