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.

When urban wildlife are sick or injured then often you are their only chance of help.
Have you noticed birds and other animals in need of help but didn’t know what to do?
Do you need training to recognise when an animal on your path might need help?
Have you tried to rescue an animal but didn’t succeed?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions then this workshop is for you.
This 90-minute workshop will give you the foundational knowledge and skill set you need to take simple and efficient action for your local wildlife.
A Zoom link will be emailed to all registered participants on the day of the workshop.
The workshop is in English.
A recording will also be sent to all participants after the live event.
Workshop hosts:

Netting entanglement remains a common reason for us admitting injured wildlife. Often with the animal sustaining catastrophic injuries, like this poor fox cub who was sadly found tangled with their deceased sibling (the injuries were too graphic to publish.
The remaining cub is doing well. She has recovered from her injuries and has been introduced to a new litter mate. However she will now have to spend a minimum of 4 months in care until she reaches an age of independence.

Disabaled gulls have an egg!
''These two gulls would have been put to sleep…
They’re both disabled and couldn’t survive in the wild.
But they were rescued… and something amazing happened
They met in the aviary… bonded… and now they have eggs
Without the sanctuary, they wouldn’t be here.
We urgently need help to keep feeding and caring for the birds
Even a couple of pounds makes a difference:

We also desperately need volunteers
Even just once a week to help clean the aviary would help so much
Please share if you can — this is how we keep going.''
The bloodshed has begun…
Deep into the heart of pigeon racing season, with birds being endlessly lost, injured, and outright killed, we’re on the lookout for passionate pigeon-lovers willing to take to the streets and help spread the word of how cruel this ‘sport’ really is.
If street outreach isn’t up your alley, you can still support the mission through donating to LGP on our website! LITTLE GREEN PIGEON
Please get in touch if interested!
