Sad to say but not surprised the little new girl Hari Hawthorne crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge in the early hours of the morning.

She had more fluids before I went to bed but was deteriorating, she died warm and safe.

RIP little lady still only a teenager, no time to have babies of your own 💔.

After 3 amazing weeks of sunshine⛱️, cocktails 🍹and beaches I'm back in the real world and this little one arrived at midday.

Out in the day and wobbling around Hari Hawthorne is critical.

Extremely dehydrated and has had 5 rounds of fluid injections.

Even more worrying is that despite now having had 8 hours in the incubator her temperature is still too low to register 😥.

Please send ♥️👍🤞 🙏. But I really don't think this little one will improve and is already in organ failure.
But of course intensive care will continue, but there's nothing else I can do, that I'm not already doing 😥.

Thank you to Claire who once she found her rushed her to me ♥️

More fireworks casualties 😡

Broken jaws, shattered spines, dislocated pelvises—this is how the foxes are arriving to us this morning. 💔 The calls are coming in in their multiples—more than a usual morning—and it’s heartbreaking. 💔 These injuries were inflicted last night, most likely caused by road traffic accidents.

This is the harsh reality behind Firework Night.

Every year, for our entertainment, countless wild and domestic animals are terrified by fireworks—running in fear, colliding with vehicles, and suffering injuries that often leave them broken and beyond help. Many are so distressed they need sedation just to rest, and sadly, many don’t survive. 💔

Wild animals deserve to live their lives in peace, not in terror and pain because of a tradition that’s unnecessary.

Ask yourself—is the thrill of fireworks worth the suffering of innocent wildlife?

Please consider alternatives.
Please choose compassion.

💔
