Hello, I’m a bat. I don’t drink blood, and I’m not trying to get tangled in your hair. If I accidentally fly into your home, please don’t strike me with sticks or brooms—it hurts, and I’m already frightened. I never meant to scare you. If I land, I might not be able to take off again without your help. Gently use a towel to guide me outside, and I’ll fly away at once. I help by eating mosquitoes and many other insects. But our roosts are disappearing as forests and old buildings are torn down, leaving us with fewer places to live. So if one of us enters your house, just switch off the lights inside, turn on a light outside, and open a door. I’ll find my way out quickly. Please show kindness—I want to live too.
Bats are nature's silent heroes—let's protect them together. Share this and spread the word.
RT if you think there should be a National Register of ALL Animal Abusers?
People who hurt animals often don't stop with animals. There is a well-researched and established link between cruelty to animals and violence toward humans, including child abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse and other violent behavior.
Hello, I’m a Possum.
Probably, you don't know it, but I’m not here to cause any trouble. Actually, I’m here to help. Every night, I can eat lots of ticks, along with insects that spread disease.
I also keep snake numbers in check, even the venomous ones. My body is tough enough to survive Rattlesnake or Coral Snake bites, and yes, I even eat venomous snakes like they’re just another meal.
What’s more, my blood carries something special. Scientists have used it to develop treatments for snake bites that save lives. Without animals like me, there would be more pests, more Snakes, and fewer cures for people.
So if you see me, please don’t hurt me. Let me raise my babies. I’m just out here doing my part to make the world a little safer for everyone.
Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.
