No sympathy, it’s the poor bulls I feel sorry for

#BREAKING: MPs debate stronger protection against animal cruelty in Parliament.📢

MPs raised concerns that banned abusers can exploit loopholes to access animals again. Campaigners want tighter enforcement, better checks and stronger protections. Because a ban should mean a ban!

President Erdogan of Turkey is using the NATO summit in Ankara today to force City Mayors to round up street dogs to put in kill shelters. No international summit should cost the lives of thousands of dogs #Turkey

Our urban environments are being defaced and polluted to an unprecedented degree with litter. Aluminium cans and plastic bottles form a large part of this environmental vandalism.
Our government URGENTLY needs to introduce a supermarket deposit/return scheme. /1

Since 2017, 38,816 greyhounds have been injured as a result of racing. Let that sink in.

That's 38,816 beautiful dogs left hurt and in pain because profit and entertainment have been put before their welfare.

Greyhound racing must end. Every dog deserves a life free from this cruelty.

Stand with us and demand a UK-wide ban on greyhound racing.

Support our calls to ban greyhound racing for good. https://t.co/PREdKGwsAz

No elephants belong in Zoos

New York City's last remaining elephant may soon be heading down south to a 3,000-acre wildlife sanctuary in Tennessee.

The Bronx Zoo is considering transferring its 57-year-old Asian elephant Patty following the death of another elephant named Happy in May: https://t.co/Hky1yNh1ui

No justification for this cruel barbarity in the modern world

Permission has been sought for a traditional hunt of young seabirds to take place on an uninhabited Hebridean island later this summer.

For centuries, gannets have been killed for their meat during an annual hunt on Sula Sgeir, a small rocky island 40 miles (64km) north of Ness on Lewis in the Western Isles.

Public body NatureScot issues licences for the hunts and is assessing the latest application.

The organisation's board will be asked to note that this process is under way at a meeting later. It will make a decision on the licence at a future date.

The practice, called a guga hunt and dating back to the 15th Century, usually takes place in August.

There exists a "magical machine" that pulls CO₂ out of the air, improves air quality, significantly reduces street temperatures and is a haven for wildlife & biodiversity

It also costs almost nothing, and builds itself.

We need to fall in love with trees

Political differences but a genuine lasting friendship

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Happy 80th birthday to my friend George W. Bush!

Your friendship—and that of your father and your entire family—has been one of the great gifts of my life. It has always reminded me that long before we’re politicians, we’re fellow Americans and, above all, human beings.

And for the next month, I’m especially grateful to finally have someone older than me! Wishing you many more years of good health, happiness, and friendship.

Our country is stronger when we remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

Dartmoor Hill Ponies continue to make headlines. Whatever your politics, these endangered, genetically important ponies deserve a future. @NaturalEngland now recognises they are essential for nature recovery. Time to implement Recommendation 27 @EmmaforWycombe @StephenMorganMP

In my time knowing of Nigel Farage, never have I seen him quite so angry as in this moment.

This will only continue to escalate, and the media will keep asking questions, if he fails to comply and tell the truth about this situation.

Neil the seal returns to the same stretch of Tasmanian coast every year, causing mischief, creating viral moments on social media, and driving tourism. This year, as Neil’s fans encroach more and more on his space, officials are considering euthanising him to protect humans who may come too close.

More than 33,000 people have signed Natasha Young’s petition calling on Tasmania's government to commit to a non-lethal management plan instead. If you think Neil should be protected, you can read more and support the petition through the link below.

American search and rescue dog Zilla is one of several highly U.S. trained canines deployed to Venezuela after back-to-back earthquakes struck the South American country. His handler, U.S. rescuer Dustin Reynolds, told @camiloreports that Zilla recently found a family of three trapped in the rubble.
