URGENT INTAKE 🚨
Welcome Ollie to 8 Below Husky Rescue 💔
Meet Ollie, a stunning 18-month-old Alaskan Malamute who has found himself in a situation no dog should ever be in!
Ollie was imported from overseas after a family applied to adopt him here in the UK. Tragically, when he arrived at what was supposed to be his forever home, nobody answered the door. The family had changed their minds, leaving this young boy stuck in a transporters van with nowhere to go.
What makes this situation even more frustrating is that no checks had been carried out and nobody had met the adopters before Ollie was flown into the UK. We cannot stress enough how irresponsible this is. Rescues have a duty of care to the animals they place, and transporting a dog internationally without proper checks and safeguards puts them at enormous risk. It is a practice we do not condone and one that could have ended far worse for Ollie.
We received a desperate call to help Ollie, and stepped in immediately yo offer him the safety and security he deserved.
Despite all of this, Ollie is an absolutely incredible boy. He has the biggest heart, a beautiful nature, and a wonderfully cheeky Malamute personality that shines through.
Sadly, his coat has also been shaved right down to the skin, apparently in an attempt to keep him cool. As many of you will know, double-coated breeds such as Malamutes should not be shaved as their coats help regulate their temperature and protect their skin.
Ollie is now safe and finally able to relax. We promised this handsome boy that his next journey will be very different. We will take the time to find him the safe, loving, and responsible forever home he truly deserves. 🧡
Welcome to the 8 Below family, Ollie. Your future starts here 🐾
If you would like to support the work we do and help us continue being there for dogs like Ollie when they have nowhere else to turn, we would be incredibly grateful.

The same Lewis Hamilton who used a corporate leasing structure to save money on taxes (around £3.3 million in VAT) when acquiring his Bombardier Challenger 605 private jet in 2013? The same Lewis Hamilton who bought the £16.5 million jet through his British Virgin Islands company (Stealth Aviation Ltd) and who then set up an Isle of Man leasing company (Stealth (IOM) Ltd, to import it into the EU and sub-leased it to a UK jet management firm (TAG Aviation), which in turn provided it back to Hamilton and his Guernsey company under charter agreements? *That* Lewis Hamilton?

🚨 Starmer is about to ban under 16s from social media. And the establishment is already pushing to extend it to under 18s.
They want you to believe this is about protecting children. It is not. To enforce an age limit on social media every single user in Britain will be forced to upload their passport to a government approved database just to prove they are allowed to speak online.
They are not building a child safety net. They are building a national ID database through the back door and using your children as the excuse to do it.
First they arrested people for tweets. Then they monitored legal posts. Now they want your passport before you are allowed to have an opinion. RT if you see exactly what they are building. 🇬🇧

What a heartless person 😡.

Michelle Moran, 63, of Bebington, Wirral, has been banned from keeping animals for life after throwing her Jack Russell terrier Gypsy into a boating lake at Gautby Road in Birkenhead to drown.

Moran claimed she believed Gypsy had cancer and tumours and could not afford veterinary euthanasia, but none of her alleged conditions were confirmed by any veterinary diagnosis.

Gypsy's body was recovered from the lake by a member of the public on September 29 last year.

When examined, the dog weighed just 3.7 kilograms and scored two out of nine on a body condition score, indicating severe malnourishment. Her mouth and nose were bloodied.

Veterinary evidence confirmed the surrounding concrete wall would have made it almost impossible for a small or weakened dog to escape the water.

Moran pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act and received a 17-week suspended sentence, a lifetime animal ban, a curfew, and rehabilitation requirements.

The RSPCA described Gypsy's death as horrendous and called Moran's actions extremely callous.

RIP Gypsy 🌈 💔😢.

There are only 236 of them left on Earth. Every single one has a name.

The kākāpō is the world's heaviest parrot - a mossy green, owl-faced bird the size of a small dog that cannot fly, may live to 90 years, and only breeds every 2 to 4 years when New Zealand's rimu trees produce enough fruit to trigger the urge.

Rats. Cats. Stoats. Humans clearing forests. The kākāpō never evolved to outrun any of them.

By 1995, 51 birds remained. Scientists, rangers, and Ngāi Tahu - the Māori people who have always known this bird as taonga, a treasure—evacuated every last one to predator-free islands.

Each bird got a transmitter. Each nest watched around the clock.

This past February 14th, the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched. They named her Tīwhiri. By spring, 59 chicks had been born.

236 birds. Every name known. Every nest watched.

Who's counting down the days until the rimu trees fruit again? 🦜

THIS CREATURE THREW HER ELDERLY DOG IN A LAKE & DROWNED HER

🚨 CONVICTED | Michelle Moran, 63, from #bebington, #wirral, Merseyside - drowned her elderly dog in a lake.

On September 29, 2025, Moran threw her 16-year-old Jack Russell, Gypsy, into a boating lake off Gautby Road in #birkenhead and callously walked away, leaving her to drown. The dog's body was recovered from the lake by a member of the public a day later and an appeal was posted to Facebook.

In a statement presented to the court, RSPCA Inspector Anthony Joynes, who investigated for the animal charity, said: "[Moran] said she'd seen on social media the following day that Gypsy had been found dead in the lake and she knew she 'shouldn't have done it'."

Moran said she was sorry for her actions, telling the inspector: "All I remember is throwing her in and walking away."

She claimed Gypsy was suffering from tumours and deteriorating eyesight, although neither condition had been confirmed by a veterinary professional.

Inspector Joynes visited the scene and found that the lake was surrounded by a concrete wall which would have made it extremely difficult for a small dog, particularly one that was elderly, weak or unwell, to climb out of the water.

A veterinary examination revealed Gypsy weighed just 3.7kg. She was also found to have blood around her mouth and nose.

The court heard Moran had cited financial difficulties as the reason she did not pursue euthanasia through a veterinary practice.

Following the sentencing, Inspector Joynes described the incident as "an extremely callous act".

"She had a responsibility to seek veterinary care if she believed Gypsy was seriously unwell," he said. "To take her to a lake and throw her in beggars belief. Poor Gypsy would have suffered a horrendous death."

Sentencing | 17 weeks' imprisonment, suspended for 18 months; curfew; 25 days of 'rehabilitation'. Lifetime ban.

Many MPs tell us that the current state pension age is 'unsustainable'. Which is odd, really, given that they can claim parliamentary pensions as soon as they turn 55.

[Stuey Beef 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @stuey_beef]

Ed Davey has written to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson demanding she WITHDRAW official EHRC guidance protecting female-only spaces in toilets and changing rooms.

Let that land.

The Equalities and Human Rights Commission — a statutory body — has produced legally grounded guidance telling employers and public bodies that biological men should not access women’s single-sex spaces.

This is not opinion.
This is not politics.
This is the settled legal position following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the meaning of “woman” under the Equality Act.

And Ed Davey wants it gone.

His stated reason?

The guidance is not “compatible with long-standing British values.”

British values.

He used those words to argue AGAINST protecting women’s single-sex spaces.

The same Liberal Democrats who lecture the country about tolerance, inclusion and human rights are now lobbying a Labour minister to tear up statutory guidance that protects every woman in Britain who walks into a changing room, a refuge or a hospital ward.

This is not a fringe position within the Lib Dems.

Their leader wrote the letter.

The party has chosen its side.

It is not the side of women.

Repost if you think women’s single-sex spaces should be protected.

I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.'

Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others?

I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue.

When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.'

Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.
