@shyvas I wish I could give your post about the danger watering cans pose to wildlife more than one positive rating. I generally don't leave open containers or other possible traps around, but I probably can't anticipate every possible mishap.
I wish people wouldn't tell me that they took their children to the zoo. They know my opinion on the matter, so it's obvious it will bug me.
@shyvas I think the cruelty of a zoo isn't as obvious to most people as a slaughterhouse, hunting, or a rodeo- but if you've tried to explain it to them, I don't know why they'd bring it up.
It's only because the person thinks that vegans are extremists and that we should tolerate meat eaters. The person also thinks that people who support animal entertainment i.e. zoos, theme parks etc are doing no harm.
I could go on as even one of my neighbours who knows that I'm an activist, will go out of his way to tell me that he goes fishing every day. I actually saw him and his gf leaving with a huge cooler box today. He says that veganism is BS and that demos are useless etc.
This is more or less the general attitude towards animals, that I witness regularly and it's becoming very exhausting mentally.
I was driving on the highway earlier and came alongside a pig transport truck, the most I could do was send them love and calmness.

Mexico City — Mexico City lawmakers on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to ban violent bullfighting, triggering outrage from aficionados and celebration from animal rights advocates. The legislation, approved by a 61-1 vote, prohibits the killing of bulls and the use of sharp objects that could injure the animals. It also sets time limits on how long bulls can be in the ring, all part of an initiative dubbed "bullfighting without violence."
Well its a start…..
Swarms of flying ants expected to fill the skies in coming days
Flying Ant Day, when millions of winged ants are released into the sky to mate, is expected to be one of the biggest in recent memory, with huge swarms forecast
When people say that they don't have time or don't know how to help; this proves otherwise:
''Australia’s oldest man, at 110, spent his final years knitting sweaters for injured penguins. Not for attention. Not for reward. Just because he could—and because they needed warmth.
This isn’t just a story about penguins. It’s a lesson in purpose. No act of kindness is ever too small, and no life stage too late to offer love. Studies show that giving, even in old age, keeps us mentally and emotionally vibrant.
So ask yourself: What can you give to the world today, even if it’s small, even if it’s quiet? Maybe that’s the most powerful thing of all.''

“In early hours of 10th June 2025 the Animal Liberation Front carried out an attack on Slaughterhouse Plukon in Oosterblokker, Netherlands. 9 chicken transportation trucks and one van were completely burned down.''

An orphaned chick found ( by a local rescue team) in Brighton last night. The poor baby has been wandering around for a few days and had eaten a few pebbles to survive.
Just a reminder to be careful when putting netting up. A cub died this morning as it got mingled in the netting. Happily, the second one was saved and taken to the rescue.
Two fox rescues by 9am yesterday morning, sadly the first cub didn’t make it but things are looking good for this one. Shaz got to work quickly cutting away while I supported it, and what a patient little fox it was. Fortunately, there was nothing causing any sort of breathing difficulty so the aim was to release it as much as we safely could and then transport it to East Sussex WRAS for the experts to do the rest.
This fox cub is now enjoying a short stay there while they keep an eye on it, as tight nets can have a tourniquet-like effect cutting of blood flow and leaving constriction injures that can take up to a week to fully display themselves. Thank you to East Sussex WRAS and thank you to the caring, concerned couple who are looking forward to having her home again.

These are some orphaned (technically some are) chicks who are at a rehabbers in West Sussex. The rescue groups, foster parents and rehabbers are working non stop. Some are out until 11 pm saving them and putting them back on rooftops. The known vets who do no PTS are also inundated with casualties.
I take my hat off to these devoted people.
Our gulls chicks are growing nicely with our Rehabbers. We currently have 15 in, with more to come. Some gulls are nearly fledged in our area, where others are still hatching so this is an ongoing and expensive cycle. If you can help with any costs, we would be so grateful. These little ones move onto a diet that is just fish soon - and that is a big expense.
