#YorkshireWildlifePark #Tiger
In response to the tragic incident at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, I’ve seen people comment that the tiger shouldn’t be in a zoo. Sadly it’s not as simple as that. The tiger involved, Altai, is an Amur Tiger (also known as the Siberian Tiger). Amur tigers are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List so Altai is not just in a zoo, he is a part of efforts to conserve the future of these beautiful animals and educate and encourage people to take an interest and become involved. There are many zoos which take part in this work so it angers me when the assumption is made that they’re just zoos and the animals shouldn’t be there when there are extraordinarily good reasons why they should. Without these zoos the futures of not just the Amur Tiger but other endangered species would be far more threatened than they are now. So perhaps those who judge participating zoos as being purely a source of entertainment at the expense of the animals should visit one to see what they actually do and gain a better understanding of the incredibly important work being done in terms of preventing endangered species from becoming extinct.

Kyiv is in a blackout. No water either. Kharkiv’s thermal power plant is being bombed right now.

Energy ceasefire? What energy ceasefire?

[Mariana Betsa @Mariana_Betsa]

Stella Bilas, oncologist. Russians killed her on her way to work in Kyiv on October 8. God… so much pain.
RIP #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

And Zelensky said he knew nothing about this ceasefire. It’s almost as though Donald Trump has made it all up to detract attention away from the shameful diesel deal that is bringing such widespread condemnation…….

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, there was a statement from the President of the United States that an energy ceasefire has been secured. This is good news for everyone – and it is important that it become reality.

Unfortunately, Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian “shaheds” all day today. There have been glide bomb strikes and strikes on our energy infrastructure too. A power plant in Kharkiv was attacked this evening.

Overall, this past week alone, the Russians have carried out more than 200 strikes on our electricity generation and transmission facilities in Ukraine, and another 17 strikes this week targeted gas and oil facilities. They have killed more than 150 of our people, and more than 700 people have been wounded.

Ukraine has proposed many de-escalatory steps. Putin had one answer to all of them – “nyet.” We do hope that he will finally say something to America, Ukraine, and the entire world that will lead to a real and dignified peace.

Ukraine wants peace. The question is whether Russia does. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have received all the appropriate orders. We are awaiting clear details of the dialogue between America and Russia – and we expect Putin to follow through on what President Trump said.

BREAKING: Russia has struck Kharkiv’s Thermal Power Plant No. 5, right as Trump called for an energy truce between Russia and Ukraine.

“There has just been a Russian strike on TPP-5 in Kharkiv,” Zelensky said.

Yesterdays winner Malika Des Plans had a tricky start to life- orphaned at birth she was then adopted by a welsh cob called Miaow alongside that mare’s own foal. Luckily she had plenty of Milk to share around and did a wonderful job! Here’s to all the hardworking mums out there!

Clare Swallow, shop manager at Coral, said: "The town is an old mining town and it's all about community.

"Some people who come in live on their own and, if they're having a bad day, I'll give them a hug and have a giggle with them.

"You can be like a social worker, but that's what we're here for.

"Some people don't like the noise of the pub and might not want to buy a drink, and they'll come in here for a free coffee and some quiet time to watch the sport.

"Where are they going to go if these hubs shut?"

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Extraordinary that Ukrainians should have the nerve to defend themselves in a way that interferes with Trump's business plans

How selfish can people get ?
