Spotlight Switzerland: Dolphins died from drug poisoning

Humans keep animals for many reasons – for companionship, for protection, for food and fiber, for transport, for entertainment. We have absolute power over the animals in our care and with that power comes responsibility to meet their needs.

New South Whales southern right whales get more protection

Very quietly and without the usual PR fanfare the NSW Government has listed the southern right whale as endangered in NSW. That’s good news, in a way. It seems ironic that we can feel pleased that the numbers of this species are so low that they’ve reached a new listing level. Regardless we extend our congratulations to the NSW Government for this move to grant greater protection to these wonderful animals.

Update roofvogelopvangcentrum China: steenarend vecht zich terug naar leven in d

Deze steenarend begon haar leven in noordelijk China, waar ze in alle vrijheid het luchtruim doorkruiste. Ze werd geboren om de lucht onder haar vleugels te voelen en om de aarde vanaf grote hoogte te overzien. Toen werd ze het slachtoffer van een stroper. En nu staat ze op een houtblok, gewikkeld in het verband, en ziet ze de lucht boven zich alleen nog door het gaas van haar kooi.
