Last week we learned that news that a whale had died due to eating 80 plastic bags and now there is another example of the devastating impact plastic is having on the oceans.

Thailand’s marine officials announced in a report that a green sea turtle was found dead due to plastic that had filled the reptiles stomach.

The turtle was found washed ashore near Chonburi’s Lamchabang Port still living but two days later it died even after receiving medical attention.

The autopsy revealed that was filled with items such as rubber bands, nylon rope, plastic bags and loose pieces of fishing gear. The department’s veterinarian team concluded that the sea creature suffered from a resultant loss of appetite and low levels of protein in its…

Lycoming County Fair in Hughesville, Pennsylvania, will be holding daily pig races between 12th July and 21st July.

They have revoltingly and mockingly named these races “Race To The Butcher” and the races are sponsored by a butcher.

Animal racing is cruel and exploitative and there is no place for it in today’s modern world.

Sign now to demand that this cruel race be cancelled.

If you pictured your summer kicking back with a big bowl of refreshing melon and some rosé in-hand, you’re going to want to re-think your snack.

The Centers for Disease Control just announced a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Adelaide linked to pre-cut melon from Catio Foods. So far, 60 people have reported being infected and 31 people have been hospitalized after consumption.

Overview

The best available science shows that lethal removal of coyotes during spring-summer is most effective for reducing negative impacts from coyote predation on native wildlife, which is why this program is focused on March–August. To address concerns about coyotes, our agency is raising awareness that coyotes can be hunted and trapped year-round. The Coyote Challenge is part of this educational effort.

Prize

The winner of the May–June entries period will receive a Bergara B14 Hunter model rifle in either .243 Winchester or choice of the winner (subject to availability).

Rules

• Program period runs from March 1–August 31, 2018.
• Three drawings during program period:
  • 1st week of May covering entries in March & April
  • 1st week of July covering entries in May & June
  • 1st week of September covering entries in July & August
• Participants may submit up to 10 coyotes each drawing period and eligible coyotes must be killed within the…

The short answer is, not as much as you might think. We here at C.A.S.H. believe that all hunting is a form of stealing, whether from nature, the animals’ families or the lives of the victims themselves. But the legal definition of poaching has more to do with stealing an opportunity from another hunter.

The good thing about reporting a poacher is that it’s the one way we can use the law to punish the killing of wildlife. For the most part, poaching laws were written with the licensed hunters in mind, not necessarily the animals’ welfare. But sometimes “game” laws limit the kill methods, quantity of kills and other factors that might happen to inadvertently benefit the animals themselves as well. Clearly not because of this, some “sportsman’s” groups like to support most game regulations, mainly to ensure their own good luck for the next time out.

WAN is thrilled to share that the only living polar bear in South Korea is being relocated later this year from the Everland Zoo, to the world-class facilities of Yorkshire Wildlife Park (YWP) in Doncaster, United Kingdom.
Tongki, 24, will be re-homed at YWP’s award-winning Project Polar, an international center for the conservation and rehabilitation of polar bears both in captivity and in the wild, which is especially important as Polar Bears are increasingly threatened by global warming.
YWP staff and vets have already visited Tongki and performed health checks to check if he is fit to travel the 5,500 miles from Korea to Yorkshire this November.
“We are delighted to accept Tongki and give him a wonderful retirement in the ten-acre reserves here at YWP,” John Minion, CEO of the park said in a statement. “Our top priority…
