Following months of activism, 1,500 beagles are being released from the Ridglan Farms testing facility to animal rescue groups: the Beagle Freedom Project and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. To all the dogs being released, we wish you many years in loving homes. 14/10 for all
Happy Earth Day 🌎

To think I was once a gamer who spent 16 hours some days sitting in front of a computer monitor... Now, I can't get enough of this world.
We are meant to explore it, live it, and most importantly protect it.
we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through underground networks. where octopuses dream. where elephants return to the bones of their dead and stand over them in silence. where bees communicate through dance, showing each other where to fly. where flowers bloom...where crows remember human faces -especially those who were cruel to them - and pass that memory on to their young. where ants build entire cities. where cats purr at a frequency that can help heal bones. where forests, after fires, grow flowers first.
I found out none of my photos won wildlife photo of the year, but it was fun to participate! The 3rd photo of the Brown Bear Cubs riding their moms back did receive an honorable mention in the “water as an element” category of the Pangolin photo challenge though 😃
Raccoons at Austin Wildlife Rescue are getting some unexpected comfort during rehabilitation, lounging in denim hammocks fashioned from donated jeans.
