Only One Nest

From the Mass Audobon blog:

Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)
Duxbury Beach, Massachusetts, USA

"This short-eared owl on Duxbury Beach is part of a dying breed. Only one nest can be found in Massachusetts now, at a protected location. Needless to say, seeing one is quite a surprise for anybody in the state these days."

Unnatural Behaviour

"When they portray animals as freaks and curiosities, devoid of context or dignity, circuses are perpetuating outdated attitudes. Wild animals in the circus are reduced to mere caricatures of their kind, exhibited just for financial gain. In this way, they corrupt our children, promoting the notion that exploitation and degradation is acceptable, even brave or funny."


—David Hancocks, former director, Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo

Forcing animals to behave unnaturally is abusive. Punishing them, using a whip and other methods of dominance is cruel. The following are examples of unnatural behaviour in circuses:

• Swaying, rocking, continuous pacing or head bobbing: The animal is highly stressed.
• Bald spots: A sign of self-mutilation caused by extreme stress.
• Walking on hind legs: Quadrupeds walk on four legs (hence the name).
• Leaping through flames: Animals have a natural fear of fire.
  
  
  

Maltreatment, abuse, punishment, separation of pups and cubs from their mothers and family, a sad unnatural life, confinement, lack of veterinary care, chains, abandonment and extreme reactions from overly stressed animals are a reality that must not take place.

Let us end the use of animals for amusement purposes.

 Support these circuses for they do not use wild animals:

• Cirque du Soleil
• Cirque Ingenieux
• The New Pickle Family Circus
• Cirque Eos

An End to Dog Racing

An End to Dog Racing

Greyhounds share the sweet, tender and calm disposition of Salukis. Greyhound and Saluki course racing are illegal in many countries, yet still legal in several states in the USA. Racing brings unsurmontable suffering to the canine racers and a life of reclusion, abuse, drugs, broken bones, sadness and abandonment.


Let us join efforts to lobby lawmakers to pass a bill in all the remaining states where racing is still legal. Let us be a strong voice to put an end to the cruel practice of dog racing.

Join the efforts at:  

Adopt a retired or abandoned ex-racer and give them the love and care they deserve. Learn more about adoption by visiting these sites:
