قضى الدب "سينوتشوك" نحو 9 سنوات داخل قفص معدني ضيق، لا تتجاوز مساحته 4 أمتار مربعة 💔
9 سنوات من القهر… أُجبر خلالها على أداء عروض السيرك، متنقّلًا داخل مركبات، محرومًا من أبسط حقوقه في الحرية
حياة كاملة سُرقت منه، فقط من أجل الترفيه على حساب معاناته
لكن لحظة إنقاذه كانت بداية حياة جديدة…
بعد نقله إلى موطنه الجديد، تغيّر كل شيء
أصبح دبًا سعيدًا، يستكشف، يلعب، ويعيش كما خُلق له أن يعيش
قصة "سينوتشوك" تذكير مؤلم بأن الحيوانات ليست وسيلة للترفيه، بل كائنات تشعر وتتألم
الرفق بالحيوان ليس خيارًا… بل إنسانية 💗
Mikey and Keith not acknowledging each other. Mikey rising from the depths of the stage on a chair…couple of songs and then back down. Some weird communal prayer time…odd bit with their kids…Stephen’s voice not given enough time to shine….cant wait for the documentary 😂
So the #boyzone gig…a little odd…ruddy Brian turning up…him and Keith playing a new boyzlife song…nobody asked for that…ending on a non BZ song? Shane miming all the way through. Keith trying his best with his shouty singing. The backing singers doing some heavy lifting…
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.
A deaf cat is missing after hitching a ride four miles from home in a delivery van.
Dobby lives in The Meadows, Nottingham, but on 20 May he hopped inside a driver's vehicle as a stowaway and rode to the Carlton area of the city.
The white tom cat has a tracker tag in his collar but the trail went cold after he slipped out of it in a garden.
Rescue charity Beauty's Legacy is working to track down Dobby. Senior animal welfare officer Lisa Dean said: "The fact that he's completely deaf, makes him exceptionally vulnerable."
Beauty's Legacy is planning to install cameras and food stations in the area where he was last seen.
Dean added that there had been potential sightings of a white cat not seen locally.
She said: "Anyone that lives in the Carlton area, just be vigilant if they see a pure white cat that they've not seen before.
"He's very distinctive - he's got bright blue eyes, a very pink nose.
He's very inquisitive and very friendly, but obviously, he's now displaced in an area he has no idea where he is, so he's going to be skittish.
"Put some food down, put some water out to attract him, and if you see him, call us and one of us can get over there."

It beggars belief that this is the only news article about the mindless devastation to Hampstead Heath's wildlife ponds yesterday. Will the same idiots be back today?

How the feck can the ceo of @nextofficial stand up and say they are struggling to pay 16-24 yr olds MINIMUM wage whilst the group makes profits of nearly £1.25 billion. Corporate greed at its absolute worst. The world is going to hell in a handcart
