VEGGIE THURSDAY: VEGAN MEATBALLS?!
Pssst…have you heard that Ikea is about to launch a vegan version of its legendary meatballs? It’s great when popular, mainstream chains include more vegetarian/vegan options on the menu: a sure sign that more and more people are requesting ethical, plant-based meals; whether they are full-time vegetarians/vegans, or simply reducing the amount of animal products in their diet- which is what Singapore’s Veggie Thursday movement is all about!
Why don’t ...

But we cannot remain stagnant. Each step forward demands yet another step. In 2015, we have many projects in the pipeline that we want you to be a part of. You may be a student, baker, or musician - it matters not - for we believ...

FAREWELL AND THANK YOU TO INTERNS SU-EN AND SARA!
Over the past month, second year veterinary students Chua Su-En and Sara Oka, from Melbourne University, have been interning with us at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre (AWRC). They have really taken ownership of their roles, taking excellent care of the animals at the centre. Su-En and Sara joined us at a crucial time, when 85% of the rescued tortoises had recently been moved to outdoor enclosures. Their commitment to taking care of the animals...

REMEMBERING MARJORIE
Today we take a moment to remember, with great fondness, a true legend in animal protection and kindness to all beings: the late Marjorie Doggett. Marjorie was a true inspiration to all of us working to help and protect animals, and was instrumental in the formation of ACRES nearly 14 years ago.
Yesterday would have been Marjorie’s birthday. Here we share a beautiful tribute to this amazing lady written by Vadivu, a co-founder of ACRES, which was originally posted on h...

HELP MACAQUES: DON’T FEED THEM!
Singapore’s charismatic macaques are a big hit with the public, who often cannot resist feeding them potato chips, popcorn and other snacks. But, did you know that feeding them causes a lot more harm than good? Feeding macaques:
- Causes rapid and unnatural growth of the macaque population.
- Results in the macaques being attracted to residential areas and areas popular with visitors.
- Causes the macaques to lose their natural fear of humans and vehicles and ...

Our Savannah Monitor Lizard's New Enclosure
20th Jan 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
In April 2014, we shared a video which showed Adisa, our savannah monitor lizard's enclosure. However, we felt that her cage enclosure's vertical space did not suit it as Savannah monitor lizards are known to be primarily ground dwelling animals. We have currently changed her enclosure which has more horizontal space as opposed to vertical. Now she has more space to stretch out and walk around then before. The old video can be viewed at:

Last week the ACRES Macaque Team attended to a case which ended with a miraculous twist!
They were alerted of a dehydrated lone young macaque with an open wound on its back and chest region in Bishan park by a post in the Nature Society Singapore facebook page.
The wound needed urgent medical help to prevent the spread of infection as the lone macaque did not have a troop to assist. With the help from the public who contacted the ACRES 24-Hour Wildlife Rescue hotline, the team managed to trek...

Today on our #ACRESthanksyou Sunday, we thank the people that you least expected... Our Ministry of the Environment & Water Resources, together with PUB and NEA! They have now included in their 'Best practices for events' article to 'avoid controversial dishes featuring endangered animals'! It is definitely a huge leap for Singapore and for all animals, and a sign we are slowly but surely accepting that animals should be given a voice too. So.. THANK YOU for remembering our friends!

If only they knew...
That ferocious look was made out of fear,
That magnificent pace meant nothing but anxiety,
That a majestic being was lost on the day it left the forest,
Would there still be smiles on their faces?
Despite some good conservation efforts by a meagre number of facilities that hold wild animals captive, it is an undeniable fact that millions and millions of these amazing creatures would lose their true identity to the thriving captive wild animal industry, just so that we could...
