THANKS SJII GIRLS: YOU ROCK!
It was an amazing week from 6th – 10th April, when we had 6 outstanding students from St. Joseph’s Institution International School volunteering with us. Besides contributing their efforts to spruce up ACRES HQ by designing door signs for the volunteer rooms and organising our shop, they also took the opportunity to join us at one of our school roadshows to speak up for the animals with students of a similar age.
We’d like to express our deepest appreciation...

DO SINGAPOREANS SUPPORT THE CULLING OF MONKEYS?
The answer is NO (based on a survey commissioned by ACRES and conducted independently by Millward Brown)!
Only 13% of Singaporeans feel that monkey culling should be allowed.
The survey findings are very encouraging. Animal protection is clearly an issue close to the heart of Singaporeans and this shows a strong sense of compassion in our society. While animals continue to be culled in Singapore due to public complaints, the findings here show ...

WATCH SKY’S RESCUE!
Meet Sky, a pink-necked pigeon who flew into Phyllis Riccia School and landed beside the glass panel. Sky was stranded inside the building, not knowing his way out. At times, birds will try to fly through glass windows, as they are unable to recognise glass as an opaque surface.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the staff members at the school who were extremely concerned for Sky. With our little giant ladder and some help from the school staff, our rescue officer was able to r...

PARDUS MEETS LOLA!
This week, Pardus, a rescued leopard tortoise in our care, got to experience life outdoors at our outdoor Sanctuary Area. He had a great time! He immediately started chomping down on grass and was very active.
Pardus had been rescued after he was found abandoned at an HDB stairwell. He was in our quarantine for some time, and while there he didn’t seem to show any interest in his enclosure mates, Amber and Lola.
At ACRES, we are careful when housing animals, to ensure th...

TIME FOR A MORATORIUM ON CULLING?
"One way to do so is to have a temporary moratorium on culling and to embark on a rigorous evaluation of alternatives.
The aim should be to see if more humane methods that do not involve killing the animals can achieve the same ends, and whether these should be given greater weight in future.
Acres, for example, saw some promising results from its programme to herd monkeys away from homes, but cut short its experiment due to lack of funds.
Between September an...

GEORGE – THE CALMEST MACAQUE
Every macaque is an individual. Just like you and me, they each have their unique characteristics, and not forgetting their funny side too!
Meet George, a male long-tailed macaque who lives in Bukit Batok Nature Park. Known to many researchers as the calmest macaque, he spends his days watching over the younger macaques with his signature pose. Take a look!

Today, we would like to thank all our loyal supporters who have joined us in our mission to end cruelty to animals since the early days!

LOVE IS PATIENT. LOVE IS KIND.
When children are encouraged to love, what lessons should we teach them?
How wonderful it would be if they learn that love is: care, understanding, support, giving, respect, greatness, compromise and appreciation. Love is not: selfishness, possession, abuse, hurt, discrimination, or intolerance.
We recently visited the children at Pat’s Schoolhouse Claymore to share with them some ideas for being kind to animals. They now know that it is kinder to adopt an ...
