Following two major surgical procedures and four months of intensive rehabilitation at the Animal Recover Veterinary Centre (ARVC), Suzzie was returned to her home back in the wild early last year and was re-united with her family.
A year later, we have...

DO SINGAPOREANS WANT STRAY DOGS KILLED?
Only 14% of Singaporeans feel that the culling of stray dogs should be allowed, in a survey commissioned by ACRES and conducted independently by Millward Brown.
Yet, culling continues in Singapore, with more than a thousand dogs culled every year.
Are there more humane population control methods? YES. The pilot project on Jurong Island to trap, neuter, release and manage the dogs there is one such option.
Where there are humane alternatives that are...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 8th MAY 2015
Do remember to call the ACRES 24-hour Wildlife Rescue Hotline at 97837782 if you spot any wild animal in Singapore who may need some help.
1. (Top left) Ginger, a nightjar, is a resident of the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre. Nightjars are nocturnal, and we only hear them at night.

AVA Rescues Monkey, Civet Caged At Workshop
8th May 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
MACAQUE AND CIVET RESCUED FOLLOWING TIP-OFF TO ACRES
“Mr Louis Ng, chief executive of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres), the group that alerted the authorities, said both animals were kept under poor conditions.
Civets are nocturnal creatures, so keeping one where there is a lot of noise and light is cruel, while confining the macaque to a small cage is a form of abuse, he said.”
Please support the new ACRES Animal Crime Investigation Unit, and help us wipe out suc...

URGENT APPEAL FOR OLD NEWSPAPERS AND CARDBOARD BOXES
As a charity involved in animal rescue work, cardboard boxes and old newspapers are versatile materials that we need for everyday use.

It would be very much appreciated if the old newspapers and boxes can be dropped off at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue...

MACAQUES AT THE MANGROVE
You’ve often seen and heard of our ‘Singapore monkeys’ making their presence known at urbanised areas, forest edges and the outskirts of nature reserves. But how many of you have seen them at the mangroves?
This picture was captured in Ponggol, where a small troop of macaques were seen feeding at the mangroves. They spent their time foraging for crabs, and have also been seen eating frogs, shrimp and octopus. In addition, the younger individuals enjoy splashing i...

RESCUED ANIMALS HAVE GREENER SURROUNDINGS, THANKS TO ST. ANDREW’S JUNIOR COLLEGE STUDENTS!
On the 7th of April, we welcomed a group of 20 students from St. Andrew’s Junior College to the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre. They spent a whole day planting new plants and small trees in the Outdoor Sanctuary Area, making the area even more wild and green for the reptilian residents.
