Tonight on BBC2 Brian May will reveal all you need to know about the badger cull.
Our wildlife is so precious and sadly so often another victim of the animal agriculture industries. 💔💔

“I came in to save the badgers. I now realise that to save the badgers, you have to save everybody because it's a mess.” Sir Brian May.
WATCH Brian May: The Badgers, the Farmers and Me on BBC Two at 9pm on Friday, 23 August.

A friend of so many animals.
I'm sure all the ones he lost and helped rescue were there to meet him. ❤️

RIP Alain Delon x

ALAIN DELON~
Alain Delon, when he was young, would dress in an army jacket - the best to warm all the puppies, which he met on his way.
Today, the 86-year-old French actor has 5 shelters for dogs and cats where these little animals collected from the street live.
"In my house there are always many dogs 🐶🏡, dogs remind me of children"
Delon has lived in Switzerland for a long time🇨🇭, and he takes care of dogs and cats.
One day, learning that some sadists in the Pyrenees had doused and set a dog on fire with gasoline, he sent his vet there, and even got the sadists prosecuted.
For the first time, a judge has ordered in judicial practice, that the victim - a dog named Mambo be present in the courtroom.
Alain Delon even tries to get the dogs their own lawyers.
By the way, the sadists who did it got pretty long terms.
Alain Delon's love for animals is from childhood.
He says that his first pet was a female Doberman named Gala.
“Once I yelled at her and even hit her tail.
She sat up and looked at me.
I saw that she was crying. 😪
Since then I understood everything, and now my dogs are always smiling”
Do you think my dogs know I'm Alain Delon?
Do not care!
My dogs love me, no matter who I am or what I do.
It is unconditional love, love without thinking, complete and true love!
Alain Delon is a member of the Society for the Protection of Animals.
He is the collaborator of Brigitte Bardot.
8 dogs now live in his house. 🐕🏡
There is a cemetery of his old dogs: there have been 45.
In the center is a chapel that he built.
After numerous requests he received official permission to be buried there when that day comes.
He affirms that for the East it is the ultimate luxury.
But Alain Delon deals not only with dead animals. Tortured Animals worry him a lot and he is willing to resort to all means to protect them.
Once Alain Delon sent the helicopter to rescue a cat 😿, whose leg was torn off by someone, tying it to a car.
The three-legged cat now lives in his mansion just like a three-legged rabbit...
"In this life, whoever you are, be one of the good ones." 💞

And this is how we are rolling on this Friday evening.
I think they have missed me. ❤️❤️❤️

Have a lovely weekend with your animals xx

Truly, they are our babies and families and it hurts so much when they get sick or pass away.
Sadly we are supposed to get over their deaths in record times. But we don't. 💔

Pets provide solace, support and sometimes unconditional love. Yet, when they die, much of our grief remains unspoken

Wishing you and your animals a happy and peaceful weekend x

This is such a true story. Our companion animals are absolutely family. ❤️❤️

On International Cat day I have such gratitude for the beautiful cats in my life, for all those who have gone over the rainbow bridge and deep respect for every organisation and individual that shows kindness and cares for these little souls in sanctuaries and on the streets.

Sadly my darling fifteen old Minx is not doing so good these last days. She struggles with constipation and lately it's caused her considerable pain but now there is a problem these last few days with her back legs also.
She's been to the vets and I'm monitoring how she is.

For anyone who would say 'It's just a cat'.. You will just never know the joy and love that a cat can bring to your life.
This little one has had my back for nearly three years, she has gave me love and laughs and so much comfort during some very dark times.
I love her as my child that she is.

Please send love and healing vibes her way.
🙏🙏🙏

❤️💔

In the UK there are the sweetest beagle puppies being constantly bred to be used, once older as props for cruel animal experiments which so much science now tells us is not human predictive, extremely painful and terrifying and a complete waste of huge amounts of money that could be put into smarter science.
People have been protesting and living outside MBR Acre, Cambridgeshire for over three years now. Please support Camp Beagle and do what you can, as a dog lover to raise awareness.
Take a look too at advocates and organisations for kinder science such as Animal Free Research UK 🙏🙏

Yes they may not be so pretty but they have a right to live their lives too.

Hi, I am a SNAIL. I know I sometimes cause trouble by feeding on your garden plants. But please, don't kill me with poisons that cause suffering to me and other animals and contaminate your garden! Instead, use coffee grounds around your plants. I'll stay away, and you'll nourish the soil since coffee grounds make a great fertilizer.

If you see me stuck to a pot, don't pull me away; my protective covering will break, and I could die. And if you notice small snails following me, please leave them be. They are my delicate offspring with soft, fragile shells. Not many of them survive, but we are essential to the ecosystem and have an ancient history.

Help us survive.

Please take a moment to read and sign to help the street animals (free roaming cats and dogs here in ). Millions could be killed. 💔

My name is Ahmet Senpolat, I am an animal rights lawyer and the Founder of Haytap, the largest animal rights organisation in Turkey.

Today, I am asking for your help to save millions of stray dogs from being killed. The Turkish Parliament is about to adopt a new law that will allow the government to capture and kill all stray dogs in the country. If this law passes, millions of perfectly healthy dogs, including puppy’s will be sent to horrible shelters, where they will be either starved to death, or killed.

Animal friends from all over Turkey have come together to protest against this ruthless and barbaric law. We urgently need your help to put international pressure on the Turkish government to reject this new law which is a dead sentence to all stray dogs in Turkey.
The new law doesn’t address the actual cause of overpopulation. Killing dogs that are healthy and not aggressive is not a solution, because populations will simply grow back. It is only a way to deal with the symptoms, but dealing with symptoms doesn’t solve the real problem.

The current law imposes authorities to sterilise dogs and to then let them back on the streets. But for years this has not been carried out properly in many parts of the country.

Another big problem is the uncontrolled dog breeding and trading. There should be a ban on both breeding and trading, because many people buy a dog, and then dump it on the streets.

Please help us to save our dogs and sign our petition below.

Protest on Sunday to raise awareness and to show absolute disgust about the new plan to remove the street dogs and cats from the streets of
They will be taken to pounds and will be killed if nobody adopts them after 30 days.
Many of these animals have lived happily in their communities and have been loved and cared for by the people that live there.
Many of the cats will be too feral to be rehomed.
Truly heartbreaking and a quick, badly thought through attempt to eradicate the streets of animals when all along the government shouid have been doing large spay/neuter programs to keep the population down.
Why do animals always end up suffering because of humans?

A statue in Istanbul to honor Tombili, a famous stray cat. He used to sit in this position and watch passers-by.

I love this story. So many people in Turkiye truly love cats and dogs. It's such a shame that many street animals will now be condemned thanks to the new plan from the government to get them off the streets.
More information about that on the link below.

Meet Billy Joe the little boy who has been living in my garden for the last few months. ♥️

He has a problem with his right back leg - an old wound maybe but he runs and climbs and doesn't seem to be in pain. He has a dodgy eye too bless him

The joys of being a Turkish street cat... 💔

Very worrying news for the street animals here in Turkiye, many of whom are cared for and loved by the people in the communities where they live. 💔

When you know you know.
Please don't pay for animals to be exploited and abused just so you can get that holiday picture.
The animals in tourism never get a holiday and suffer massively for those experiences/pictures.

don’t make your dream vacation their worst nightmare – avoid tourist traps that involve animal exploitation like swimming with dolphins, horse-drawn carriages, animal riding attractions, and roadside zoos ‼️ looking for animal-friendly summer vacation activities? check the link in our bio 🫶

VetVan Thailand truly do amazing work which I have personally seen. There are too many street animals and ones living terrible lives with people who do not meet the basic needs of their animals.
Please support - even share if you cannot donate as you never know who might see and be able to help.
Caring and rescuing animals is so expensive and emotionally draining. 🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful words for all you doggo lovers.❤️❤️

“Dogs die. But dogs live, too. Right up until they die, they live. They live brave, beautiful lives. They protect their families. And love us. And make our lives a little brighter. And they don't waste time being afraid of tomorrow.”

I'm not sure if this quote is entirely true but I love it. ❤️

“Having many cats is good. If you feel bad, you look at the cats and you feel better, because they know that everything is just the way it is. You don't have to be nervous about anything. And they know it. They are saviors. The more cats you have, the longer you will live. If you have a hundred cats, you will live ten times longer than if you have ten.One day, this will be known and people will have thousands of cats."
-Charles Bukowski-

I met a very strange looking cat today that lives her best life inside a 5 star hotel. ❤️

Her face was like an old Teddy bear, she has goofy teeth and her eyes were too close together.
Of course I was smitten!

Such beautiful souls do not deserve to live with the threat of being seriously hurt or killed in Gaza.
Praying all the madness stops so that the survivors - both animals and people can rebuild their lives agsin.
These people do great work at Sulala Animal Rescue

We really do need
Luckily there are scientists no longer prepared to test on animals many of who's work you can see on the Animal Free Research UK page and website.
♥️

What is toxicology research?

Toxicology research is all about understanding how substances—like drugs—affect living organisms, especially humans. Researchers study the potential harmful effects these substances might have on our bodies, from causing diseases to damaging organs. They investigate how different doses and exposure levels can impact our health, aiming to identify and prevent potential risks.

However, the reliance on animals in toxicology research has long been a cornerstone of this scientific inquiry. But research shows that fundamental differences between species mean that animal experiments are not (and can never be) a reliable predictor of whether substances will be safe for humans.

This can be illustrated by a simple example – chocolate is poisonous to dogs and paracetamol to cats, yet both these substances are generally safe for people.

More humane and human-relevant ways of studying the effects of drugs are urgently needed if we are going to save both human and animal lives.

What a wonderful welcome committee of rescued elephants at Elephant Nature Park saying "you're going to be very happy here" to a recent new arrival.
I've had the joy of visiting this wonderful sanctuary in Thailand back in 2014 that rescues not just elephants but many other animals in need.
If you visit Thailand please don't pay towards animal cruelty. This means no riding or bathing elephants or watching shows where they or any other wild animal are forced to perform for human entertainment.
Support true, ethical sanctuaries only.
