Animals Have Feelings, Too

NEW ZEALAND LEGALLY RECOGNISES ANIMALS AS SENTIENT BEINGS
Non-human animals are now formally recognised as “sentient beings” in New Zealand, following landmark changes to animal welfare legislation.
"To say that animals are sentient is to state explicitly that they can experience both positive and negative emotions, including pain and distress," said Dr Virginia Williams, chair of the National Animal Ethics Advisory Committee. "The explicitness is what is new and marks another step along t...

PARENTAL CARE IN MACAQUES
Long-tailed macaque mothers are the primary caregivers of their infants and are very protective of them, not allowing newborns out of their grasp. During the first weeks of life, the mother maintains contact with her infant almost constantly, but as the infant ages the amount of contact decreases. By the time the infant is four months old, the mother spends significantly less time in contact with the infant and begins to exhibit normal ovarian cycles again. By the time...

DO SINGAPOREANS WANT WILD PIGS TO BE KILLED?
NO, say Singaporeans, in a survey commissioned by ACRES and conducted independently by Millward Brown early this year. Only 14% of Singaporeans approve of the culling of wild pigs.
Wild pigs are native to Singapore, and part and parcel of our unique ecosystem. They help to increase biodiversity and species richness by rooting at intermediate levels. Rooting also accelerates decomposition of matter, and wild pigs are natural seed distributors. For e...

HUA PING, FREED FROM A BIN!
Meet Hua Ping, a common wolf snake who got stuck inside a bin and needed to be rescued!
Fortunately, she was spotted by the residents of the house who called us for help. Common wolf snakes, otherwise called house snakes, are one of the most commonly found native species of snakes in Singapore. As their name suggests, they live close to human environments where there are abundant geckos and small lizards to prey on. Hua Ping probably followed a gecko and ended up st...
