Indeed! Many have forgotten, that pidges were used during WW2 to carry messages across the English Channel. So many of them died and were left injured. Some have a short memory and have evicted them from their Dove cots and they are left to fend for themselves on our dirty streets!

Shame on them!

''A rescue at height for some pigeons who found themselves trapped in a derelict building in Brighton!

One of our dedicated rescuers attended the scene to assess, however it was clear that they would not be able to free the individuals themselves - but with significant concern for the birds welfare due to the pending heat, the local fire service were called to assist.
The fires service attended and had to close the road to complete an arial rescue - however all wildlife casualties were removed from the location and assessed for injury.''

Canada's annual commercial seal hunt is sadly taking place once again.

Tens of thousands of baby seals—almost all not even three months old—will be brutally killed for their fur.
These gentle and docile creatures will never live a peaceful life until this horrific cruelty ends

Hundreds trying to storm Wisconsin beagle research facility met with rubber bullets, pepper spray​

​

About 1,000 animal welfare activists who tried to gain entry Saturday to a beagle breeding and research facility in Wisconsin were turned back by police who fired rubber bullets and pepper spray into the crowd and arrested the group’s leader.​

​

It was the second attempt in as many months by protesters to take beagles from the Ridglan Farms facility in Blue Mounds, a small town about 25 miles (about 40 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Madison.​
