Giraffe are among the most demanding animals to treat in the field. They are powerful, yet physiologically fragile – they cannot undergo full anaesthesia, which means every operation becomes a race against time.

This case was harder than most. The bull was notably large and highly alert. After tourists reported him with a snare around his neck, it took two days of aerial patrols to locate him in the landscape. Once he was found, our helicopter flew the SWT/KWS Southern Vet Unit to the scene, where Dr Lawi darted him from the air. Ground teams then took over, roping the giraffe down so the team could get to work.

They quickly set about removing the snare from his neck – a wire that could have killed even an animal of his size – before stepping back to allow their now successfully treated patient to rise to his feet and move off.

Behind these five words – "he made a full recovery" – sits a specialised vet unit, a helicopter, two days of searching, and a coordinated ground team operating under significant time pressure. That infrastructure is what stands between a snare and an outcome, and your support keeps it in place.

Meet Moto, who has received the fewest applications. 💔

He was found outside a train station, with a tail injury, which then had to be amputated.

We hope his lack of tail isn't putting people off, because Moto is full of love!

Meet him. 👉 https://t.co/ddsqqZIsNW #Caturday

@Chykodcollins @JDVance Nobody can claim to be a Christian when you are happy for ICE to kill and treat people the way they are. You're a fake and have no idea what the inside of a church even looks like. Fortunately, you will pay for your sins some day. Bet on it.

Four-year-old Olivia has been waiting for a new home for over 300 days. That's 300 days too many.💔

Olivia will make the perfect companion for a family that truly appreciates an opinionated, independent cat.

This story has received international attention, and petitions are out, but still no results! Please pass this around!

A Shaker Heights, Ohio Police Officer, Chad Hagen, is moving his family to another city, and gave Police Chief Wayne Hudson his 2-week notice on Thanksgiving.

Officer Hagen has a loyal K-9 GS named Igor, that has not only been his police partner for 6 years, but has been raised by Hagan & his wife Danielle. Igor has been w Chad through his marriage, first home, & has grown up with their two children. They’ve formed a unique bond & it’s the only family he knows. Igor even saved Chads life multiple times while on duty. They’ve inseparable.

When Chad expected to take Igor with him (most Officers are permitted to take their K-9’s w them as a sale, after just 4 yrs of service, for a nominal fee of $1.00) the Police Chief REFUSED, stating Igor probably has another 18 months of service left to the community!

The Chief then placed Igor in a local KENNEL, alone, with no idea if he’s on medication, or what his needs are. (Danielle Hagen says Igor, being a very large dog, has slowed down recently.) The kennel has called him ‘Ramos,’ not even familiar w his name! He’s been there, locked away, since Nov 29th!

Officer Hagen pleaded w PC Hudson to allow him to buy him, pulling out all of his savings - $10,000, and says they’d get a loan for even more money if needed.
Chief still said no, that “K9 Igor is a TOOL, and no financial amount will be considered.” The entire community, local news, social media platforms, K9 experts, & Security Procedures experts, have spoken out that this is a disgrace, and it’d “be in the best interest for all involved if the SHPD granted this request.”

Hagen says PC Hudson is doing this out of some sort of spite.

The family is heartbroken. Igor deserves retirement, needs to be snuggling w the Hagen kids, and playing fetch in his backyard. He needs to live out the rest of his days with the only family he knows.

Monday is an administrative day. Please email/call these officials and help Igor go home. 💔

@etanthomas36 @guardian @guardian_sport Tyreek showed no respect for the police on what could have been an ordinary traffic stop. This isn't about overly aggressive cops but a case of NFL players thinking they are better than everyone else and above the law.
