On 30 December 2016 the World News Daily Report web site site republished a June 2015 article reporting that 20 koalas had been rescued from an animal brothel in Australia: The purported plight of the sex-trafficked koalas tugged at the heartstrings of social media users, both when the article was first published in 2015 and again when it was recirculated some eighteen months later. However, there was never any truth to the story, which was fabricated by the World News Daily Report (WNDR) fake news site. As with many other articles on the site, WNDR's koala brothel story used an old and unrelated news image of a terror raid in Australia from 2014.
