Animal Advocacy The Animal Activism/Rights/Welfare thread

[shyvas]

Some more devastating news as this is the second death in this park within a couple of months. Many dog owners simply refuse to keep their dogs on a lead whilst near wildlife with dire consequences. Moreover, it would seem that the local council doesn't give a hoot.

"Boris and Doris are two of many characters on Stanley Park in Blackpool. We have loved these two swans and cared for them for several years, keeping them fed during every bird flu season, along with support feeding their yearly broods (which they almost always sadly lose to bird flu there every winter).
We are sharing photos of them in happier times.
Heartbreakingly, Doris has had to be put to sleep this evening following a suspected dog attack injury that certainly hadn't happened today and had left her with her shoulder ripped out of the joint and a severe compound wing fracture (bones irreparably sticking out).
Thanks to the dog owner, who like many other persons on Stanley Park, chose not to control their dog on a lead around wildlife, our vet had no choice but to end her suffering. Thank you to Adrian and team at The Veterinary Health Centre Ltd for helping Doris this evening.
Doris had 5 babies at present with Boris. It will forever be etched on our mind when we had to take her away from her babies this evening never to return. I can't tell you what this does to us too, rescue can be the best but also the worst job in the world.
Boris will be bereft. Can people who know them please look out for him and their little babies with extra food?
These deaths wiill not stop, in our opinion, until the park enforces dogs on leads around wildlife and reinstalls it's rangers to police it. Fylde Council can manage it, why can't Blackpool Council?
We don't have any other words left in us this evening, but we can tell you that Stanley Park is not a safe place for wildlife.

Rest in peace beautiful Doris, we will take care of Boris and your beautiful babies

Life Magazine-Polar Bear Hunting 1947

"A desperate bear cub, hugging the body of his dead mother. The little bear stayed in this position all day and all night, whining and refusing to eat.
This heartbreaking scene is a photo taken in 1947 by the famous photographer Lennart Nilsson on Svalbard and was one of his first photos published in Life Magazine with the title ′′Polar Bear Hunting", in which he described the event: ′′The mother bear escaped. But when she saw that the little one wanted to see us, she returned. Then the mother was shot."

I know my answer seems irrelevant to our topic, but there is a site: Home. I read its posts that find me well. I contacted its owner, who also has the same mindset and planned to organize an online organization to fight for animal rights. You can contact him or me for more details about the org setting plan.

I managed to rescue another string foot pidge today. I had to take it to a rehabbers in a taxi as it was quite flustered.
He has now had the strings removed and a toe amputated. He has been given painkillers and it doing well.

Update on pidge; he has settled down to a comfy bed after having eaten and drinking lots of water. He is safe and cosy at pidge hospital.

Viva Outreach Demo last Sunday-Brighton.
Feeling so honoured to be part of the Viva team. We spend an enjoyable Sunday both distributing leaflets and proposing pb cheese samples to the public. We also chatted with a few vegans who said 'keep up the good work'. Such a lovely buzz in Brighton. There's no other place like it.

Squeaky, a baby pigeon found abandoned in central Brighton. Many of her feathers were missing and her body was covered in burns and clotted blood. She couldn't fly. After a few weeks at both the rescuer's and rehabber's, here she is.

She practises taking off every day and is eating well. I was lucky to have seen her several times during my stay and must say she in not only a fighter but a knockout. Thank you to everyone at South coast/East Sussex bird/gull volunteer network for saving her and for caring.

Posted on my neighbourhood FB page earlier on. A hunter with a loaded rifle and his poor dog hunting wildlife. There is a building nearby plus people who hike, run and take their children/dogs out for a walk.

 

[shyvas]

They are back in my neck of woods. Some people have complained on FB as they were either out for a run, walk with their dogs and children. Such disgusting vile human beings who have nothing better to do then shoot innocent animals and their babies.

Moana, who was bred in captivity, has died at a facility Jet2.com & Jet2holidays promotes. He spent his short life in a filthy dolphinarium tank at Marineland in France swimming in endless circles in algae-covered water. #moana

Fox Hunting Still Continues in the British Countryside:

"Today we've had sabs out with Three Counties Hunt Saboteurs and West Midlands Hunt Saboteurs at the opening meet of the North Cotswold Hunt at Spring Hill. It was a long day of relentless fox hunting, but the presence of sabs helped this fox and others escape the hounds. Full hit report to follow once we've gone through all our handheld and drone footage."
