[ad_1] A big thank you to Kelly Sheldrick from the WA Bat Network for hosting an incredibly interesting and informative event at the Sanctuary on Sunday the 15th of September. We were excited to identify four different bat species on our walk in the Valley’s forest using bat detectors, and learn so much about […]
Come On, Chaps! | My Shetland
[ad_1] The ponies knew I was up to something. I could feel their eyes from the other side of the field and track while I was moving electric fence posts and wire. I was busy making an eating area so they could have a bit more grass. Once finished, I called them over to go […]
Sheeps Update
[ad_1] Dahlia and Gussie are now very settled. It’s like they’ve always been here and have fitted me into their routine beautifully. They mostly, I think, live in a field but come home every morning for their breakfast, which they eat in the shed. I like everyone to eat in a contained area so that […]
Fitting Out Containers | My Shetland
[ad_1] I (and OH) are exhausted but we did it. We fitted out the two containers with their rubber mats. Two coats of bitumen paint were down and had dried first. Then we lugged half the mats from the van into the back of OH’s little van. We reckoned on eight mats per container. And, […]
Sheep Together! | My Shetland
[ad_1] It’s been very foggy all day but when I walked the dogs, I found all the sheep together, which gave me great joy. At last, I thought, and I took a few photos and sat down on a rock. Various sheep came up to talk to me….. Bert Maggie Gussie Fink-Nottle (and sometimes known […]
Honestly, You Two!
[ad_1] I finished making my afternoon sheep so I thought I would pop over to Clothie to check on the Ancient Icelandic horses. Haakon had taken himself away. He didn’t want to talk to the riff-raff (his words and he meant Kolka and Iacs, not me, obviously!) So I gave them all a turmeric treat […]
Advocates granted High Court approval to challenge council’s decision to approve UK salmon mega-farm
[ad_1] Animal Equality has been granted permission to challenge the UK’s first fully on-land salmon mega-farm. Just 5% of cases make it this far. The farm plans to “produce” 5,000 tons of fish annually–the equivalent of approximately one million fish per year. This has sparked concerns for animals and the environment, due to the intensive […]
Animals milked dry before illegal slaughter, investigation shows
[ad_1] Animal Equality’s investigation uncovers widespread cruelty in India’s dairy-linked slaughterhouses. Abuse was documented at six facilities in Maharashtra and Kerala from October to December 2023. Violations of India’s animal cruelty laws and court orders were observed. The investigation exposes links between India’s dairy and meat industries. Workers were seen slitting cows’ and buffaloes’ throats, […]
The American Kennel Club is actively obstructing stronger protections for dogs
[ad_1] By Sara Amundson and Kitty Block The American Kennel Club turns 140 years old this week. Its tagline is “For the love of all things dog.” Nothing could be more misleading. Although it tries to pass itself off in the U.S. Congress and elsewhere as an authority on animal welfare, the organization is a […]
