A very difficult day is coming to an end. I spent the whole day at the clinic helping animals, and when I came back home my friend Ashen needed inmediate help 💔 since we said goodbye to our dog Lama, my cat suffers from depression and from all this stress from chronic bowel disease called IBD. Unfortunately, the new food that was supposed to help with the intestines caused a relapse of the bladder disease... Despite all my efforts, Ashen had to be anesthetized and has a urinary catheter sewn into his bladder. Thank you to my friends from and for the huge help at every step ❤️ we still have a few difficult days ahead of us, so keep your fingers crossed and send him positive energy 🙏

Yesterday I attended the "How Animals Change Therapy" conference, with esteemed international guests and leading figures in the field. A lot was said about "positive animal welfare" and the idea of incorporating farm animals into therapy, rather than simply "using" them. It all sounds promising, but I was left with a sense of deep disappointment.

What about the real improvement in animals' lives? Even the famous "green care farms" are just another layer of exploitation—animals working two jobs, still part of production and now in human therapy/resocialization too. How is that fair?

I asked specifically about that, and no. No one cared about hormonally protecting hens so they can live freely, or live at all! Did you know hens can live up to 20 years, but most die in pain by age 5 or 6 with their bodies exhausted and destroyed from laying eggs? (if not k*lled earlier because on industrial farms laying hens live only about 1,5 years)
And here I was, naively hoping that an international conference would bring something fresh and new for farm animals. Turns out, it’s the same old exploitation in a shiny new wrapper. 

PS And no, sorry, but I am not convinced by the arguments that animals are well cared for and have enrichment thanks to participation in therapy. It is their right, in all conditions.

On the occasion of World Dog Day, I want to tell you that I miss this guy terribly 💔 He was a wonderful friend, companion and a benefactor appreciated by the crows 🖤
On every walk they would get treats from us and I think they thought it was directly from Lama 🐕😇 When he wasn't around, they never approached me.
A few younger crows raised by their parents to be our friends, came up with a game. They learned to catch Lama by the end of his tail with their beak... 😂❤️
Years of trained trust, 3 generations of crows. I worry what will happen to them now. How many of them are still alive... and when will we get to the source of the problem?

Many of you guys write me, asking if I know what is happening with the corvid birds. Since the beginning of July, they have been dy*ng en masse in Warsaw (where I live and work), and pigeons have also recently joined in. The city and the authorities were doing little about it, promising a lot, constantly postponing the announcement of any results. So with a group of people who care, we are trying to find the underlying cause of the matter on our own.

Some of the birds were infected with West Nile Virus (sure, it's here every year)but the symptoms, blood count and biochemistry results, and post-mortem changes found at the multiple autopsies suggest there could be another reason.

At this point I can't reveal the details, but rest assured we won't leave it at that.

Mystery animal from my stories was a European fat dormouse (Glis glis) 🤓😍
The dormouse is primarily nocturnal and crepuscular, so quite hard to meet for a good photoshoot 😅 what's more, it is highly arboreal, and its agility in the trees may exceed that of squirrels. Some have been known to leap 7-10 meters. It has exceptionally good senses of vision, hearing, smell, and touch (through its vibrissae). Individuals visit many trees each night in search for food. We have been sharing the same roof in my forest house for over 13years now 🥰
