Brutal cuteness: Australia has chosen 12 handsome firefighters for its animal calendar

The pictures of brutal firefighters were published the other day, and they have already been shared on social networks. The success of the format is easy to explain: there are both perfect athletic bodies and real cuteness. Brutal firefighters traditionally share shots with animals. The idea of the charity calendar has remained unchanged since 1993.

The first calendar with firefighters and animals, which was released 30 years ago, made a real sensation. And not only in Australia itself, but also abroad. Then it was decided to make it an annual event. Of course, its format is charitable.

Brutal cuteness

All the money collected from the sale of publications is directed to the treatment of children, to buy food for homeless animals, to equip medical institutions with necessary equipment.

For 30 years in this way managed to collect and realize for charitable purposes more than three million dollars. For example, in 2021, money from the sale of the calendar was used to treat animals affected by forest fires.

The main goal of the calendar for 2024 is to raise money to treat children with cancer and help animals. Residents and scientists of Australia pay great attention to the fauna of the country. They care not only about animals that are out of their home walls, but also about wild animals living in their natural environment. This idea is reflected in the calendar for 2024. Firefighters hold owls, meerkats, stand in the arms of goats, lambs and kangaroos.

Cute fluffy kittens and puppies were also present!

It’s a pleasure to look at the shots. It seems that not firefighters, but professional models took part in the shooting… Do these handsome boys really put out fires? The creators of the calendar even try to accuse them of forgery. But they answer that everything is absolutely honest. These guys are real firefighters.

Of course, they are carefully selected. A few months in advance, a contest is announced, to which everyone sends their photos. A special commission of 24 people filters out the most “hot”. This is how the 12 handsome men are chosen.

The animals the rescuers pose with live in charitable foundations and nature reserves in Australia

Animals, with which rescuers pose, live in charitable foundations and reserves in Australia. They are cared for by volunteers. Animals are often brought in to work with people suffering from autism and mental disorders. It turns out that they also fulfill a noble mission.

The creators of calendars with firefighters and animals want people to remember the need to help others and just be kinder. Relief men’s bodies are a way to draw attention to important things.
