Love NH Racing, Believe in supporting those who haven't had breaks in life. Adore animals. Can't be doing with those who think themselves superior to others.
Italy's finch hunt BANNED! ๐ซ
The Supreme Administrative Court in Rome has ruled that finch hunting in Lombardy, Italy, violates EU Law!
The derogation to shoot 97,600 protected Chaffinches is UNLAWFUL & immediately suspended.
A major win for bird protection!
Years ago we were in a horse who did a great job for everyone involved, other owners voted to put him in a sale for the sake of squeezing one more little bit of him. Fortunately he went to a good home but we didn't seek to race with those owners again.
These good people find this helpless, beautiful horse. They don't only treat her but also heal her mental state. A positive transformation is what every being needs.
@MamesLegacy@Neccccy@Grok This "stop it offends Muslims" quote (wearing a poppy) comes up year after year & when asked to prove it the far right go very quiet.
Iโm devastated to report I lost Battalion this evening, after breaking a leg in the field. He had a successful racing career and a wonderful 5yrs in retirement with me. Mainly involved eating and getting fat. I feel lost and heartbroken ๐
Halloween artificial cobweb material:
It may be a bit of fake fun for you, but it's a very real and terrifying death for them.
And it's not only birds.
I've had my first call of the season of a hedgehog trapped in this horrific fake 'cobweb', made especially for gullible halloweeners to spread over their greenery, trapping all unsuspecting birds, insects and mammals, including hedgehogs.
The fine synthetic fibers are difficult for animals to see and can quickly wrap around their legs, spines, and neck, leading to severe injuries.
When a hedgehog struggles to free herself the web tightens, cutting off circulation and causing deep wounds. These constriction injuries often lead to permanent damage or death.
Unfortunately the call was from Manchester, so all I could do was talk them through getting the poor creature to a rescue.
Clearly she had been trapped there for at least one night, and her struggles had pulled the strong nylon strands so tightly that one of her toes had been amputated.
Can you imagine the pain and the sheer terror?
And then seeing dawn approach, while hanging there, tightly bound and helpless.
Aside from being stressed, dehydrated, starving and exhausted to the point of near death, she also had horrific bite/peck wounds to her face, where she had been held there, helpless, unable to curl and defend herself, while a predator tried to eat her alive.
If you have used this deadly cruel trap to 'decorate' your garden, please take it down now.
Please don't be conned by the greedy makers and sellers of this rubbish into hurting defenceless animals.
The Upton parade in Wirral was cancelled due to health and safety concerns, with the council citing inability to secure insurance after the May 2025 car-ramming attack at Liverpool FC's victory parade, as it's a community-led event outside their direct control. This marks the first cancellation since World War I. Locals can attend other Remembrance services across Wirral borough, such as in Birkenhead or Wallaseyโcheck Wirral Council's site for confirmed locations on November 9.
Since @HamzaYassine filmed the kingfisher, this amazing bird and his partner successfully raised one brood of youngsters this summer at Walthamstow Wetlands.
Here is Hamza's male kingfisher feeding one of the babies. Such special birds!
