Petition to save a brave dog's life!

Another poor dog wrongly accused and whose life is at risk. A puppy, Champ, bit intruders who came into the dog's garden. This was on private property and the dog did what is expected of him. The intruders had no reason to be in the owner's garden.

Save the Irrawaddy Dolphin from Extinction!

Please click here to sign the petition to save the Irrawaddy dolphin from extinction.
 
'Conservation group WWF is calling for urgent action to prevent the extinction of freshwater dolphins in the Mekong River, estimating 85 Irrawaddy dolphins left in Cambodia and Laos. The Mekong River Irrawaddy dolphin has been listed as critically endangered since 2004.
Habitat destruction, low calf survival rates, and fishing net entanglements are the biggest threats.'

Locals must drastically change the way they fish (how about stopping entirely!) and ban net-fishing to give the dolphins a chance of survival.
Thank you for signing.



Petition time!

Please spend a couple seconds signing this petition to stop deforestation of a rainforest to plant a palm oil plantation (palm oil is used needlessly in YOUR cosmetics and more)! Thank you.
Also, please check the ingredients of everything you buy and don't buy it if it has palm oil listed! The world thanks you. :)

Take action and stop being a part of the problem!

Wild Penwith Volunteers

Here's a little article about the volunteering project I was a part of a couple years ago in Cornwall. We completed tasks such as clearing scrub, building hedges and creating allotments. It was so much fun and I made really lovely friends; I'd love to be a part of something like this again. In september I am collecting money for the RSPB, so that's something, atleast!



Notes From a Rescue in Progress

This is a beautiful story about a rescued golden retriever named Roo who was in a very bad physical and mental state, but is being nurtured and nursed back to health and happiness.
So far, there are two parts, and both are incredibly written by her carer, Brian Beker, and make you feel so much love and heartache for poor Roo. I will link the next parts to the story as they are posted.

Part One (opens in new window)


Roo

Why! :'(

It is always the good people and the animals, the most innocent and loving, that are the most unfortunate on this backwards planet. Rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives in the fire:
