Bold claim from @ScottishSPCA
Rescue all animals except:
-cats who's owners died, family abandoned outside, covered in wounds and skinny
-sheep stuck on beaches under cliffs
-dogs locked in houses for 5 days
-horses left with festering wounds
The largest member of the 65s pod with the smallest: bull Orca 'Busta' (left) shepherding the new calf (right) assumed to be that of 'Ossa' in Bressay Sound. One of the highlights for our @ShetlandWild Ultimate Shetland group and one of three encounters with this pod in six days.
All (not just UPS) future contracts need to have a heat index clause that prohibits outside work over a particular temperature, namely 116ยฐ F or 46.6ยฐC.
Remarkable!

"Protesters are never popular at the time. The suffragettes were hated... workers who went on strike, people who fought racism.. were always reviled. But at the end of the day, protest has to be inconvenient to make an impression"
@OwenJones84 on @JustStop_Oil. Spot on. #GMB
The Retained EU Law Bill risks removing key protections we have for our habitats, wildlife & health๐ฅ
Government must maintain key environmental laws, or risk undermining all efforts on nature recovery๐ฑ. But there is still no sign of compromise from the Government.

Well pleased with stage one of my guerrilla meadow making out the front, where developer failed to reinstate the wildflower meadow they wrecked >3 years ago. The Yellow rattle is looking stunning
My new favorite thing is the Matilda musical being cut with Dragula. Also, if you havenโt seen the musical, I highly suggest giving it a spin - kids are great in it.
