🚨 MEN CAUGHT TAKING 2 LARGE CARP FROM RIVER

Carp and other coarse fish are heavily protected by fisheries rules designed to safeguard fish stocks, river ecosystems and the future of angling in Britain.

Yet scenes like this are becoming increasingly common. While law-abiding anglers follow strict rules around fish welfare and river management, concerns continue to grow over fish being removed from waterways with little regard for conservation, ownership or the future of our rivers.

Whether we agree or disagree, like or dislike, we should listen to all sides and make well informed decisions in a mature adult way.

The BBC have issued a statement standing by their decision to exclude Restore Britain from the by-election Question Time tomorrow in Makerfield.

The rotten British establishment absolutely hates Restore Britain.

Dottie, a bottlenose dolphin who lived 39 years at SeaWorld, died this week without ever feeling the rhythm of the ocean, or the freedom she deserved.

SeaWorld describes Dottie as a devoted mother of four calves, but they separated her from every single one of them. That is not devotion, that is the reality of captivity, where profit determines family bonds.

Dottie was born into concrete tanks and died in them. She never experienced the open sea. She spent her life performing for tourists, not because it was natural or enriching, but because SeaWorld's business model depends on it.

SeaWorld positions itself as an institution rooted in marine science. They know, because the science is unambiguous, that cetaceans are highly intelligent, wide-ranging, socially complex animals. They know that no tank, however large, can meet the physical or psychological needs of a dolphin. And yet they continue their breeding program, ensuring that more animals like Dottie will be born into the same captive cycle, never knowing the life they were meant to live.

Dottie's story should not end with a tribute post. It should end with change.

SeaWorld must end its dolphin breeding program now. No more calves born into captivity. No more mothers separated from their young. No more lives defined by performance and concrete walls.

Dottie deserved better. The dolphins who come after her deserve better.

@DreyfusJames What big ballads are you playing?😊

[Mara Elephant Project @MaraElephant]

One step from an elephant can cause catastrophic damage for a family. While building a fence feels like the best way to protect your property; for elephants it’s a minor deterrent between destinations; a single stride can destroy one in seconds.

That’s why Mara Elephant Project stands ready to respond before elephants approach a home. In this instance, MEP rangers deployed their drone equipped with thermal imaging to guide these bulls away from the fence and back to the conservation area.

For the communities living alongside wildlife, these interventions can mean the difference between devastating loss and a peaceful night at home. And for the elephants, it’s the difference between safety and harm while moving through shared landscapes.

[Hils @hilsofhove]

Let’s hope they stay healthy & safe.

Water voles are being reintroduced to the River Wey in Farnham after a 20-year absence from the area.

About 300 of the animals have been released into the river in the town centre as part of a wider project to help the species recover, after it became Britain's fastest declining mammal because of habitat loss and predation, the National Trust said.
The release in Surrey on Monday was led by the National Trust and Environment Agency, alongside local groups and volunteers.

The species, immortalised as "Ratty" in The Wind in the Willows, has been locally extinct for two decades said David Elliott, National Trust lead ranger for South Downs West.

Thugs who killed ducks by shooting them with catapults have been described as “feral monsters”.

Two ducks were found dead at The Fleet on Sheppey over the weekend.

Sheerness Town Council says six ducklings were also killed, although Kent Police said it believes it was a pair of ducklings, and they were injured.

Officers say they are now looking for two boys, aged between 12 and 14 with dark hair, who were in the area at the time so they can speak to them.

A statement from Sheerness Town Council said: “These innocent animals have suffered horrific and completely unnecessary death

Based on the injuries sustained, it is believed that catapults may have been used.
“This level of cruelty is sickening, unacceptable, criminal, and will not be tolerated.

“If you think killing animals is amusing, entertaining, or somehow justified, then you need to take a long, hard look at yourself.

“The deliberate targeting of defenceless wildlife is not a prank. It is not a game - it is an act of cruelty.”

Baby Moon might only be days old, but she's already got scratching down-pat.

In case you missed the news: Earlier this week, ex-orphan Melia returned home to introduce us to her brand new baby girl. We rescued Melia 17 years ago, a likely orphan of poaching. Today, she is grown up and raising her family like any other wild elephant mum in Tsavo. It means the world that she chose to come back and share this milestone with us.

Revisit Melia’s story: https://t.co/kUXmNjNhZe

Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.

@London_W4 It seems someone somewhere is trying to tell you something.🤷🏻‍♀️😲

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

How many more young British men and women are going to die? Bleeding in the street, alone and terrified. Cuffed, in a pool of their own blood. Begging for help.

How many more parents are going to stand there, and say that they couldn’t help their children in their dying moments? Apologising to their dead children because they couldn’t stop it from happening?

How many more?

This is going to happen again, and again, and again.

It’s happening right now, in every city across the country.

Rape. Sexual torture. Even worse. Mass industrial abuse of British children.

Henry Nowak is one of thousands and thousands and thousands.

Innocent young men and women put through the most unimaginable pain, because our country has failed to do what needs to be done.

Because children have been sacrificed to death in order to appease foreign cultures that have no place in our country.

I have had enough - of all of it.

I am going to look back in anger.

I urge you all to do the same.
