Even pidges want to come over to Brighton.

This little love flew all the way across the English Channel from France and somehow landed in Brighton. After having a well earned rest, some food and lots of love, they will be travelling all the way to Scotland to be adopted.

That's quite a long trip for a tiny pidge.

Poor rhinos. China should be ashamed of itself for selling rhino horns! Great that all of the poachers were shot dead!

Skukuza – Five suspected rhino poachers were shot and killed in a shootout with rangers inside Kruger National Park after they had already killed two rhinos and were busy harvesting the horn from one of the animals.

This poor pidge has been hanging from a ledge since yesterday (Friday) morning at the railway station in Marseilles. The fire and rescue have simply refused to come and rescue the bird. The security agents tried to save them but pushed the bird even further from the ledge by using a pole.

Apparently, a group of people are going to the station at 10am this morning and are figuring out what plan can be put in place.

I'm worried that the pidge may already be dead.
 
Update: the poor pidge is barely alive and nobody has come up with a solution. They only came back at 10 am this morning and are just filming it.
I called the local fire brigade for some advice and they simply told me that they have none to give.

Nearly 600 people gathered in Bournemouth on Sunday for what organisers say was the largest National Animal Rights Day event held anywhere in the world for the third consecutive year.


"We were honoured to welcome almost 600 people throughout the day, including 230 participants in the silent memorial procession," they said.

Bournemouth Animal Rights Day forms part of National Animal Rights Day, a global movement organised by Our Planet. Theirs Too., now in its 16th year. Events take place in more than 50 countries on the first Sunday of June, with around 10 taking place across the UK this year.

I boycott this country as they animals aren't treated well.
I am so sorry to hear that - even though I have spent a fair amount of time there I didn't experience or learn that - I saw people rescuing and spaying cats and feeding them and didn't really see a lot of other animals. It was before I was vegan so I was just as busy putting animals into my mouth as the next guy. :cry:

Haven't you heard of the Galgos dogs? Aside, bullfighting and the way they treat dogs, Spain is not a country that is renowned for their animal welfare.
There was a lady that I know who lived in Spain. She had a home in a mixed Spanish and Brit community. Apparently all of the British neighbours had to feed the Spanish dogs, as the owners would simply chain them up and just give them scraps. The lady relocated back to Brighton and bought back 3 Spanish dogs. The neighbour said that she could take them as he didn't care!
