Here at Israellycool, I chose the koala as my mascot, as opposed to fellow Aussie marsupial, the kangaroo. Koalas are cute and furry. Kangaroos, on the other hand, are big and evil.
Ms Aldren said she was picking flowers in her garden when she heard a noise and then claws ripped into the back of her neck.
“I fell down on my front, it happened so quick, and I got up to hold the bucket out in front of me,” she said.
“It kicked the bucket out of my hand and I grabbed him (paw) to stop him, but he got on his tail and started kicking me ñ he was taller than me on his hind legs.
“I tried to get up four or five times but he kept kicking me over. He also bit my hand.”

“I can still see his big, beady eyes, like you see in a martian video. He had so much hate in his eyes.”
Hey, at least he didn’t strap explosives to his waist and try to blow the woman up.
Has Ms Aldren at least learned something from this experience?
“I always thought they were cute animals (but) now I want them culled,” she said.
If only Spain had learned this same lesson.
