The news of Scotland mandating swift bricks has gone viral on various big mainstream accounts. If only everyone who liked the post below emailed Housing Secretary Steve Reed telling him to go back to his original support and mandate. Just like Scotland AND Gibraltar !

A kitten has been rescued after being dumped in a rubbish bin on the hottest day of the year so far.

The eight-week-old kitten was found in Shipley, West Yorkshire, by a passer-by who heard its cries coming from inside the bin on Tuesday as temperatures soared to 28C (82F).
The abandoned cat was handed over to Pink Paws Cat Rescue, a network of volunteers working across Bingley, Keighley, Skipton and the surrounding areas.
The rescue team are caring for her until she is ready to be adopted. Her two siblings, who are also known to have been abandoned, are still missing.
Pink Paws chair Laura Westcough said:

"We know who it was and the RSPCA have been out to speak to him, but we still have no idea of the whereabouts of the other two kittens as he won't disclose.
"It's really awful that she was found in a bin, especially when it was so hot, but actually, out of the three siblings she was lucky because the other two are quite likely dead. They stood little chance."
The kitten's owner was identified by a neighbour who has rehomed several litters of kittens from him before.

After the rescue, police and RSPCA officers were alerted, and the animal charity visited the cat owner's house, deciding to allow him to keep two adult cats - including the mother of the abandoned kittens - in his care as they were both in adequate health.

Westcough said more needed to be done to prevent this happening to cats in the future.
"This needs to be stopped, and the way to stop that is to have a law to say owners have to neuter their cats.
"This time we've offered to liaise with the kitten's owner through his neighbour and we can help to cover the cost of having the cats done. That way it stops the cycle and ensures no more kittens have to go through this."

The rescued kitten, who is yet to be named, needs treatment for fleas and worms, but she is eating well and growing stronger.

Westcough said they were inundated with offers to adopt the kitten after posting about the rescue on Facebook.
She said: "It's always best to keep them a little bit until we're sure they're OK, but then whoever wants to adopt her will be vetted and she'll find a home.
"She's very sweet and she'll go to a nice new home - she's got a better outlook than she did have."

I went for a walk in nature while sadly having to do the usual litter picking and I came across this lovely fungi. Not sure what species it is? Photos showing the beauty of nature and the ugly side of humanity! #SpringWatchUK

Scotland became the first nation in the UK to pass a law requiring “swift bricks” in new buildings where reasonably practical and appropriate.

These small built-in nesting spaces provide safe homes for birds such as swifts, sparrows, and starlings, whose populations have declined as older buildings with natural nesting gaps are replaced by sealed modern construction.

Remember the old days when we were part of Europe . . . before the Brexit liars won out . . . but then as we queue the economy crumbles as a result too . Lesson - don’t believe their lies ! https://t.co/1ztS4gilmh

How evil are the people that did this?

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

A turtle came into Wild At Heart Rescue in Mississippi last week painted from head to toe in silver and red. People keep doing this and it has to stop.

A turtle's shell is living tissue full of blood vessels that absorbs sunlight to produce vitamin D, helps the turtle regulate body temperature, and in many aquatic species participates in the animal's breathing system.

When a turtle is painted, all of that gets blocked. The turtle is no longer able to synthesize vitamin D where it's been painted and can develop metabolic bone disease as a result. (soft bones, deformed shell, slow death).

The painted shell loses its camouflage too, making the turtle visible to every hawk and raccoon in the area.

Removing the paint isn't a quick wash with a sponge. It involves multiple veterinary sessions, often with sedation, and many turtles arrive too damaged to ever recover.

If you see a turtle with paint on its shell, do not try to clean it yourself. Call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator right away.
