His close friend was Franklin Trejos. All the accounts say that Trejos was a really good man. He looked after …
NEWS AND VIEWS – BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA: There are a few interesting aspects to this story. Firstly, it’s rather strange because Mark Skage is a hunter based on what I see on his Facebook page. He likes to shoot animals for fun but showed real compassion to a moose calf and it cost him his …

The Ukrainian armed forces public relations department – Defense of Ukraine on Twitter – should be using this. Maybe they are. This sort of video is normally published on the Defense of Ukraine Twitter feed but not this time as far as I can tell. It shows a fawn suckling on the ear lobe of …

An 18-year-old football fan who idolises Lionel Messi, the world’s most famous and perhaps most talented footballer and an Argentinian team member, has captured the imagination of the Chinese public by bravely jumping down from the stands in a dangerous manoeuvre and running onto the pitch at the Workers’ Stadium during a friendly match between …

Removing spiders from the home is problematic. Animal advocate Nathan Winograd has told me that one’s instinct to remove a spider from your home is problematic as many species of spider in any country make your home their home.

Location: Cape Cod, Massachusetts. How did they know it was chasing a seagull and got too excited! And are sharks sometimes this careless? Was the shark ill? Or did they lose their bearings because of sonar used by submarines? A lot of questions and no answers. The guys who rescued the shark knew what they …

Animals as prizes put in tiny cages so they can’t move (animals become ‘objects’). The Twitter tweet states: “May 1st, Kaifeng, Henan China Animals put in small cages as prizes.

On the Ukrainian side of this illegal war instigated by a psychopathic Putin, there is compassion for the animals the soldiers meet on the battlefield and in the trenches. Diametrically opposed to this behaviour is that of the allegedly vodka-soaked Russia soldiers who’ve also allegedly murdered innocent civilians and killed hundreds of thousands of animals …

I love this video. And to think people are scared or wolves and that they have a bad reputation. And that they were hunted to near extinction. What is the matter with people? European settlers to the USA brought with them all their baggage including a hatred of the wolf. So, they persecuted them and …

Here is nice example of compassion towards animals. It always goes down well and it should. It is our duty to be compassionate towards animals as we are their guardians. People have warmed to this 11 second video. It is a brief moment. I don’t know where the video was made as I believe that …
Some parts of Canada are suffering from a drought. And this Canadian woman has a website about growing up to be kind and she must mean to include being kind to animals. And I guess to humans as well. And as you can see in the video it is a particular time to be kind …
