The Happy Pants Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Sittingbourne Kent.

After a few ducks and turkeys fell ill, the devastating news fell; it was AF. So DEFRA came to the sanctuary yesterday morning and shot dead the remaining healthy 61 birds.

















This morning, the cages are empty and there is not a sound. The birds are gone................................

Yes, one and all, the Official National Animal Rights March is back on!

We have pulled out all the stops and can guarantee, without fail, that this year's March will be held on Saturday November 1st, which is World Vegan Day.

Leaving from Marble Arch at 12 noon we expect this year's March to be a sight to behold and a force to be reckoned with.
Last year we had over 6,000 people in attendance! Let's show the world that the animal rights movement is unwavering and unstoppable and make our numbers even bigger this year!

We look forward to seeing you all there united under one banner with one aim in mind - to demand that the rights of our fellow animals are recognised and respected!

This is Porridge who arrived at Heathrow yesterday.

He is currently in quarantine at the kennels for 4 months due to a corrupt vet and rescue in Egypt, from where he comes from. So, his new owner is going to visit him for the first time today and will be bringing him plenty of treats and toys. They can't replace love, but there is no alternative for him before he commences his future life in the UK.

Poor boy, he won't be able to understand what's going on and must be wondering why he's in a strange place.

Baby Seal DEFENDS his buddy from rescuers:​

This is how real friends behave when 2 huge rescuers ran after a buddy!​

"A bit of sad/funny situation in this rescue done by Ocean Conservation Namibia (OCN): this poor little pup was caught in a snoek fishing hook with big heavy weight on it. While trying to free him, his little buddy really could not leave us alone and kept Antoine busy trying to shoo him away, while Namib_Naude began to cut the seal loose with his Leatherman tool. "

I have been watching them for a long time now - they are awesome and if you watch the commercials it definitely helps them out.

This team do the most rewarding and difficult work trying to remove hooks/fishing lines/plastic from these seals bodies.
This particular adult seal was very lucky indeed as the hook was near his eye and there was also one in his mouth. The pain must have been horrendous.
I cannot imagine what his quality of life would have been if the hooks hadn't been removed.

''It took 45 minutes to rescue this seal from not one, but two fishing hooks. It was the longest and physically most demanding rescue of Ocean Conservation Namibia's rescuers up to date. Nobody could have predicted such a long and painful process to pull two hooks from the seal's face. The guys showed amazing team work, the focus was 100% on the rescue and the seal's well being and survival. We have to make do with what we've got here in Namibia.
Most of our rescues are quick catch and cut situations, unlike this one. If we had the facilities, we would have sedated this seal and taken him to a proper vet to have this painful procedure done under anesthetics - but we don't. We made the best out of a difficult situation, and although painful - the seal is strong and feisty and will make a quick recovery. In this case, the happy ending justified the less than ideal means."

This is so sad to see; a London seafood bar that is serving octopus kebabs! Shame on them.


However, not everyone appeared to take to the kebab as much as the content creator did.

One took to the comment section, writing, 'Can't imagine what texture an octopus would be having been slowly cooked all day.'

A second added, 'This is so sad, octopus are incredibly intelligent animals and can never be humanely slaughtered or farmed.'

Another referenced a Netflix documentary about a diver encountering an octopus, writing, 'After watching the Octopus Teacher I will never eat one of them again, I'll pass on this one thanks.'

A fourth added, 'In today's episode of 'Food that should be made illegal' we have…Octopus kebab? No, no, no, no and no.'

London restaurant divides the internet by serving a octopus kebab

While most Britons are familiar with a chicken, lamb, or beef kebab, Pescobar in Camden Market is switching up the norm and offering a one-of-a-kind kebab made from octopus.
