"They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."

Bobcats are under attack as Indiana considers trophy hunting season. 😔
I hate what this state, which is sadly where I live, is doing to bobcats. If only humans had compassion for animals.

⚖ One Step Closer: Hungary moves to end wild animals in circuses! 🐘🎪✨
"Hungary is taking a major step towards ending the use of wild animals in circuses. Following the first cabinet meeting of the new government, officials announced plans to ban performances involving wild animals such as elephants, big cats and primates. 🐅
According to reports, the ban would come into force after the current circus season, allowing time for a proper transition.
Encouragingly, leading Hungarian circuses have welcomed the decision. This gives hope to rehoming Indian elephant Szandra, the last wild animal still performing in Hungary’s circus rings, to a sanctuary."⬅

@AngelaL05459013@GlobalElephants I think the two regular crates have been spiffed up and they do have the larger, new, and improved blue crate (but that might be needed for Sandro sooner than later 🤔)...

I came home to an ever more chipper Liam than this morning. Plus, he's starting to eat again. 🙌🏽
He's also back to posing with his favorite guitars- tonight's being his 2nd favorite Strat: Ole' Sonic. 😸

The sanctuary elephants have lots of room to roam and natural vegetation to choose from. 🥰 Thank you, Sanctuary Family, for continuing to make this possible.
This is Rana amongst all the green!
Aura and Mwangaza have the best of both worlds.
When our orphans return to the wild, they team up with their friends and age-mates to form herds. Over time, these herds continue to grow and grow as younger orphans join the mix. When these orphans have their own calves, the herds grow bigger still.
For Aura and Mwangaza, the offspring of ex-orphans Arruba and Mweya, this is the perfect world Dame Daphne described: growing up cocooned with nannies and aunties, siblings and cousins, roaming wild but with the added protection of their mother's human family too.
Today, we honour Dame Daphne's birthday. If you have a favourite quote of hers, share it below.
🌴🐘💨......🎪 After 30 years at Beto Carrero World, Baby the elephant will live in a sanctuary in Mato Grosso
https://t.co/BF0QC7NBbu
"According to the decision, the sanctuary will be responsible for the transfer process of Baby, with veterinary supervision, pre-trip examinations, and reports every two months"
"It further determined a temporary financial contribution from Beto Carrero World to cover the costs of the adaptation process and made recommendations to the sanctuary regarding the adoption of formal protocols for animal welfare, behavioral monitoring, and biosecurity."
"Baby the Elephant became famous for her appearance on a show hosted by Beto Carreto in 1996 at around 3 years old"
Today marks the 55th anniversary of the release of 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗿’s second studio album, 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘂𝘀, featuring one of the greatest epic suites in progressive rock history.

Do you think this is the band’s best album?
Cyanide bombs do not belong on public lands.
M-44s poison wildlife, kill dogs, and endanger people. Coyotes and foxes deserve coexistence, not hidden poison traps.
