''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.''

​

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.​
