Good News! Ringling Bros. Elephants to retire to Florida conservation center.

Ringling Bros. Circus has announced that their circus performing elephants will be retiring from the circus for good.  After years of protests from animal rights groups it has been decided that the animals should be moved to the conservation center asap.

Ringling Bros. will continue, however, to present the performances of other animals including tigers, lions, horses, dogs and camels.

Netherland donkeys share their grief for a lost friend.

After living a sad life of neglect and loneliness outside in all weathers, Bram the donkey was moved to a sanctuary in the Netherlands.  His health was suffering but he lived the last year and a half happily.

He and the other donkeys bonded immediately.   Although he received a lot of love, and needed medical health care, he never fully recovered.  He passed away recently.


The video shows his donkey friends paying their final respects. It is a sad time.  Grieving the loss of one of their members is common for donkeys, according to a sanctuary worker.  They make a particular noise when one of their friends dies.
They really do mourn, and is is said one occasionally dies from grief.
RIP Bram.

Rainforest Rescue Update - Gito

In September 2015 a baby orang-utan was abandoned and left for dead in a urine soaked cardboard box in Borneo.  After being found he was transported by motorbike for 9 hours to a rescue sanitary.  Sanctuary volunteers have nursed him back to health. He was malnourished and dehydrated. He was nearly bald with grey flaking skin.  Rescuers said he was left to die in the sun.

To help relieve him, coconut oil was massaged all over him  to soothe and soften his itchy skin. He was also placed on a drip to rehydrate him.

He was named Gito by his rescuers.

Here is his story

He has made a remarkable recovery, and now is meeting new friends.

To learn more about these wonderful creatures and the sanctuary that saved him go to International Animal Rescue.

Florida passes new law to protect animals in HOT cars

 Florida has just made it legal to break into cars to Rescue Pets if they are left in a hot car!

If you live in Florida and see an animal in a hot car you now have the right to intervene and break in. This includes smashing the windows if the car is locked. An animal has only a small (minutes) window of time before death in these situations.

Recently Republican Governor Rick Scott signed House bill 131 into law allowing Floridians to break into locked automobiles to rescue animals or vulnerable people who are in imminent danger of suffering harm.

The bill comes as a direct response to the growing number of incidents where pets and children have died because they are left in overheated cars.

If you are hesitant to take things into your own hands, please feel free to call 911 and report the scene.

There are also flyers you can place on cars if you think there is time for a safe response.
