You wouldn't place your children in the care of untrained professionals. If you knew the extent of harm, abuse, and deaths occurring in day care, grooming, boarding, pet sitting for #Dogs you would *demand* qualifications, experience, supervision, and regulations!!! 🐢

This doggy day care has TVs and human beds, but not all are made equal
Animal welfare experts are calling for mandatory qualifications and regulation of dog day care, walking and training services in NSW, as the industry booms.

HOT DAY AHEAD πŸ”₯🦎

Please consider providing water for animals who need a drink to cool down and ensure survival on hot days.

You can make it safe for small creatures, such as insects and lizards who need an escape route if they fall in, by placing a rock or stick within the water source.

Had to Google this non Australian gem. Non venomous. Non aggressive. The sweetest face, with an iridescent rainbow body. How gorgeous is this #Snake! The coolest thing I have seen today. 🌈🐍❣️
A rainy Singapore night brought out the appropriately named Sunbeam snake. A dull brown snake until a bright light turns it into a living rainbow.
We do not have Rabies in #Australia but a similar disease #Bat #Lyssavirus in a v small number of bats which is zoonotic. #Bats are very sweet and a critical keystone species who only bite to defend themselves. *Always seek medical help*. Only those #Vaccinated against #Rabies should handle bats.πŸ¦‡β€οΈπŸ’‰
Please sign the Environment Tasmania letter to Minister Murray Watt and don't forget to add a personal message at the end.
This is life or death for a beautiful animal that has been around for 60-100 million years which faces extinction.

There is nothing extreme in not wanting to hurt an animal.

what nonsense! If they really cared about goat welfare, they would not treat a goat in this way! #PuckFair #Ireland - "Puck Fair chairman: Welfare of goat is β€˜paramount’ as oldest street festival returns" - www.msn.com/en-ie/news/u...

"a goat sourced from the wild, will be suspended in the air for β€˜just a few hours’ on the first and last day."

What the actual fuck did I just read?!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

The central argument of Animal Liberation is simple: speciesism - the bias in favour of our own species - is no more defensible than racism or sexism.

Throughout history, dominant groups have exploited the less powerful for their own interests.

Virgin Airlines today launched a trial in Australia allowing pets to travel in the cabin, instead of unmonitored in cargo. This initiative has been eagerly anticipated by pet parents.

The South Australian Premier is distracting voters w/semantics while BILLIONS of marine animals are being killed by anthropogenic *TOXIC* algal blooms.

My employment restricts me from expressing public opinions, including the Australian government's policies. #EcocidalCunts #VoteGreens #AusPol 🐟
