Day three of the worst June heat wave in history & the dogs at MBR beagle breeding facility in Cambridgeshire are locked in steel cages in 38 degree centigrade disgusting cruelty

It’s a life saver

“What’re you in for mate?”

“Cleaning a river without a permit. What about you?”

@EnvAgency is really plumbing new depths of malevolent uselessness here.

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

I’m sorry, this is total bollocks. I have been looking after my river for a decade and you have done absolutely nothing to support me and the other hundreds of volunteers who give up their free time to do your job for you and to stop the river we love from dying.

This picture is the part of the Aldersbrook that we haven’t yet restored. Do you agree that allowing one of the ancient rivers of London to disappear beneath a layer of sewage, silt, rubbish & knotweed is a disgrace? If so, when can we expect EA teams down in the river to sort it out?

A £1 beach toy is costing seals their lives. Campaigners warn plastic flying rings are being lost and drifting into the sea. The founder of the Seal Research Trust Sue Sayer is now taking the fight to Westminster, calling for a UK-wide ban.
“They lead to slow, painful deaths - especially for young seals”

Would have been Paul’s birthday today 3 years since his passing he remains sadly missed

A critically endangered Diademed sifaka hanging on for dear life—but losing grip on existence in this world.

Madagascar is stricken with extreme poverty, so hunting these large sifakas for bushmeat has soared, even in protected areas. Slash-and-burn for timber and sugar cane plantations for illegal rum is destroying their food trees.

Touchingly, they diligently patrol their territory every morning, carefully scent marking their trees to protect it—but they are defenseless against the ravages we inflict on them.

Long-lived and slow-to-reproduce, now also with high infant mortality (50%), wasting in adults and stunting in immatures as we systematically remove their means to exist.
The tiny, isolated groups in the fragmented reserves may already be genetically non-viable long-term.

It will take a miracle—or someone with enormous wealth— to save this spectacular species from extinction within my lifetime.

Ricky Gervais being criticised by Janet Street Porter & Nick Ferrari on ITV This Morning for celebrating the beautiful foxes in his London. They would both rather demonise & spread fear over these wonderful wild animals @rickygervais @thismorning

I don’t know what breaks my heart more 💔

Before we all get carried away building more bombs and guns to make war on each other, maybe it’s time we made peace with this precious planet we all call home

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

Well done everyone calling for an end to the cruelty and exploitation of horses on the streets of New York

[Compassion in World Farming UK @ciwf]

We've banned live exports from Britain, now we need this to happen around the world.

We’ve written an open letter to the World Organisation for Animal Health (@WOAH) calling on them to end this inhumane trade.

Elon Musk could build hospitals. He could fund schools and universities. He could help eradicate diseases.

Instead he uses his wealth to fuel hate.

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

Well done Portland

This is a win against dolphin trafficking.

The Solomon Islands has restored its ban on live dolphin exports, reversing a move that could have pushed wild dolphins back toward aquariums, marine parks, and dolphinaria overseas.

The plastic ring around a duck's beak doesn't kill it fast. It starves it slowly. 2 seconds and a couple cuts fixes this problem.

A duck with a ring stuck on its bill can't open its mouth to eat. It can't fish. It can't preen. It tries to scrape the ring off against rocks, branches, mud, anything, until its bill is raw and it's exhausted from the effort.

Wildlife rehabbers see this constantly in waterfowl: cranes, geese, ducks, pelicans, and herons. The birds in the photo below are three out of millions.

The fix takes about two seconds. Cut every plastic loop you encounter before throwing it away. Six-pack rings, jug seals, the rings around milk caps, dog treat bag tops, mask ear loops. Snip every closed circle into an open line.

You won't see the bird your snip saved, but the ring you cut tonight isn't out there waiting to choke a tern next year. It's already a piece of broken plastic on its way to a landfill, no longer a snare for anything.
