This gorgeous innocent creature was stoned to death by a group of thugs (youngsters) in the Ardennes, France. 😡

That otter video gets bonus points for music and editing.
I think I've seen that footage before on YouTube but without the music and captions.
StrangeOtter will be so Pleased.

Some excellent news:

I have received the following from Pen via email so I would like to share with you all
❤


The Nowzad charity is beyond happy to confirm that Operation Ark was a roaring success in its mission to rescue both ‘people and animals’ from Kabul.
And we need to thank YOU for making this possible. The supporters of Raise4Nowzad were instrumental in making this possible. THANK YOU.
With the staff safely in Pakistan awaiting their visas to be processed and the 94 dogs and 68 cats doing really well in quarantine around the UK we are turning our attention to fundraising for the future of the Nowzad charity.
We are committed as you have been to the welfare of our staff and their resettlement in the UK along with the commitment to pay all quarantine and rehoming costs of our remaining dogs and cats.
And then we will consider the future of Nowzad. With you by our side we have the ability to take on animal welfare issues in a new country or even return to Afghanistan should the Taliban not be the Taliban of old. Who knows?
Your support always was truly appreciated by the team. But now as Pen, Nowzad founder states; ‘we have been blown away by the love and compassion shown by the Nowzad family of supporters. We truly owe them a debt of gratitude that we will never ever be able to repay’.
Thank you everyone.
Now let’s get back to Raise4Nowzad and the future of animal welfare wherever Nowzad is reborn.
Pen F
Founder and CEO

Some very sad news for the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary as their first ever rescue collapsed with heart failure and died yesterday. Arun Reah a beautiful girl, was rescued in 2013 from the logging industry. In 2017 she bonded with Mia Sara and considered her as her daughter. It'll be a great loss for all of those who volunteer and care for the elephants but also for the young Mia Sara.

The local monks blessed the gorgeous girl and she was laid to rest after the ceremony. ♥️ 🌺🌸🌺🌸


Extract from CWS

"We had barely a chance to say goodbye. Unwelcome news came from Cambodia today. Two days ago, Arun Reah collapsed shortly after returning from a day in the forest. The CCTV cameras revealed that the cause may have been heart failure. A veterinarian came from ACCB to administer fluids. She was very weak and mostly slept, making no effort to stand. She left us this morning holding sorrow and fond memories.

Arun Reah was rescued from a logging camp ชin Rattanakiri province of Cambodia . She was the first elephant to step onto the soil of Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary. She came together with Kham Lin, and they were good companions until Khamlin passed away in 2018. In poor condition, mentally and physically upon arrival, recovery was swift under the kindly yoke of friendship, abundant food, and freedom.
ArunReah's solitude was replaced readily with the newly rescued arrival of Sarai Mia, a 20 year old elephant who planted a distinct buoyancy into Arun Reah's life. They loved each other very much, and Arun Reah adopted Sarai Mia as her own child.

It was a typical day. The happy pair spent their time wandering the fields and forests as usual before returning to the shelter as the sun set. Even for the better part of an hour after returning, there was the usual eating and walking and throwing of sand. Then she staggered and fell forward and lay over, and, from that time , made no effort to stand again. Mahouts and workers made dire efforts to help her up, but she oferred nothing in return for that assistance. She had no strength left in her.
COVID-19 border restrictions made travel untenable from ENP, and Arun Reah barely gave us notice before leaving our hearts feeling helpless and deeply saddened.
ArunReah was the first elephant to be ambassador for the CWS project. Her name means Sun Rise ! An older elephant with a mostly sweet and gentle personality, she leaves our young girl, Sarai Mia at a loss, and her mahouts as well. She will always be the light of dawn for us. We miss you. Rest in Peace, beautiful lady ! We love you.''

Animal Save Movement​


This is the back of a rabbit used in skin corrosion tests. They are shaved and have corrosive chemicals applied to their raw skin and left there for up to two weeks.
The rabbits receive no relief during this excruciatingly painful test and, once the test is over, they are killed.
More than 161,000 of them are used in U.S. laboratories each year.
Don't be part of this - only buy cruelty-free products and go vegan.
