That's what makes me feel worse, is that the topic title agrees with this, "What the hell is wrong with people?". I'll explain why this has pissed me off.
In 2004 and 2005 two ad campaigns have been run. 1 about the starving people in somalia and another on those starving in east asian countries like indonesia. Alot of money was spent on these campaigns (the 60 second one aswell), close to 2 million dollars. Yet another ad-campaign which only spent S100,000 generated 3 times as much donations. It was one about some bears in Africa and Asia. (People eating bear sinew or something). How could people react that way? More people cared about the ANIMALS then the actual PEOPLE. That's dehumanising and Irrational, moreso than what the people did to the Koalas. I mean, yah I love the little buggers and the people should be neutered or something (civil law system!). But the issue which arises with this (even in me) is worse then the actual issue.
Do people care more for the rights and freedom of animals then other humans?
Human suck. Animals don’t. Dilemma explained.

They didn't throw him into a dingoe's pen or anything, so that's a pretty bad analogy. They released the dingoe's, most likely forseeing that they would go on to kill other animals, but it'd be manslaughter (if they were humans that got killed).
A thousand pardons. Manslaughter, my mistake. Becuae manslaughter is soo much better. I was going to get upset but if what they did was not the equivalent of murder, but of manslaughter, well I've got nothing to get upset about do I?
Okay, if I soak you in a vat of fish blood and chuck you in the ocean, is it manslaughter if a shark eats you?
