From avoiding Liz Truss to a dramatic battle with a fox, here are a few of Larry the Cat's best moments in his 15-year-long career as Chief Mouser in Downing Street ⬇️

This is the real face of humanity...

[Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1]

My wife passed in March. Forty-two years of marriage, and then just... silence.

The house felt wrong. Too quiet. Too still. My daughter kept saying I needed "something to care for." I kept telling her I was fine.

I wasn't fine.

One Sunday, I drove to the Arizona Humane Society just to walk around. No intention of adopting anything. Just needed to be somewhere that wasn't my living room.

The volunteer stopped me near the senior wing. "These two have been here eleven months. We waived their adoption fee last week. Still no takers."

Pepper was solid black with a grey muzzle—eight years old, arthritis in his back legs. Salt was pure white with one brown eye and one blue, deaf as a post, same age. Brothers from the same litter, surrendered when their owner went into hospice care.

Eleven months. In Phoenix. In a concrete run with no air conditioning half the year.

"Why won't anyone take them?" I asked.

The volunteer shrugged. "They're old. They're pitbulls. They come as a package deal. People want puppies."

I watched Pepper slowly lower himself onto the cool concrete. Salt curled up right next to him, pressing his white head against his brother's black shoulder. They fit together like puzzle pieces. Like they'd been doing this their whole lives.

Like me and Lorraine used to sleep.

"How much is the fee?" I asked.

"Sir, I told you—it's waived. Nobody wants—"

"I want them."

She stared at me. "Both of them?"

"You think I'm gonna separate two old brothers who've already lost everything once?"

That was four months ago.

Now Pepper sleeps on Lorraine's side of the bed. Salt sleeps on mine. The house isn't quiet anymore—it's full of snoring and the click of nails on hardwood and two grey-muzzled faces waiting by the door when I come home from the grocery store.

They lost their person. I lost mine.

We found each other.

The Juma people of the Brazilian Amazon have survived decades of violence, disease, and forced contact. Once numbering in the hundreds, their population was decimated by colonists and missionaries.

Can someone PLEASE help these Orcas 🙏.

This the heartbreaking moment two Orcas are seen lifelessly floating in their abandoned enclosures before they suddenly start to perform when they saw the drone above them.

A mother and son left behind at a now defunct marine park in France were caught on a drone floating in the murky water.

The Orcas, believed to be 23-year-old Wikie and 11-year-old Keijo, appear to be close to death, according to co-founder of activist group Tidebreakers, Marketa Schusterova.

Schusterova says the Orcas in Marineland of Antibes are struggling ever since the park closed down in January because of a new law banning orcas from performing for the public in France.

Activists have pleaded with officials and the owners of Marineland to take drastic action to save Wikie and Keijo.

@danny_robins Will definitely look this one up today - I have just been listening again to the #lovecraftinvestigations thanks for the recommendation Danny 😃

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

You can see the look of terror in the eyes of this poor slave while the audience laughs at him. He is beaten by his abuser if he doesn't 'perform' for the crowd.

These 'industries' are kept alive by STUPID or SELFISH tourists!!

“We need the freedom to live in the forest”

Célestin, a young Baka man living near Nki National Park in south-east Cameroon, explains how conservation continues to threaten the Baka’s lives. They’re not allowed to access the forest and face violence from park rangers if they do.

Right, we all know Blue Monday isn’t real and our mental health doesn’t fit neatly into a calendar. But as it’s trending again this year, we’ll use this moment to share some words that could hopefully bring comfort when tough days do happen.

Retweet to help us get real info out.

Octopuses are remarkable (8 legs, 3 hearts, blue-green blood & much more) & proposed farming of them @PescanovaCorp is completely at odds with everything we understand about the species & what we know to be morally right
We must https://t.co/MAQAX6Qm30
