Big smiles to Da Qiao Primary School, where today the students and staff are doing their bit for animals and the environment by having a Veggie Thursday!
We were very happy to be invited to give a presentation to the students earlier this week about the benefits of going meat-free for one day a week (or more!)

Many of us get upset when we hear about pigeon culling. The good news is that we can all play a part in controlling and reducing the pigeon population naturally.
The best thing we can do to help pigeons is to simply make less food available to them, and then the population will be controlled naturally.
Some people feed pigeons with good intentions of helping them, but in fact this does a lot more harm than good. Providing food for the pigeons means the population will grow beyond the carry...

"There is a high mortality rate and for some species of civet, there's a real conservation risk. It's spiralling out of control. But there's not much public awareness of how it's actually made. People need to be aware that tens of thousands of civets are being kept in these conditions. It would put people off their coffee if they knew."

Living in Harmony with: Civets

Donation Appeal: Wildlife Rescue Van
Being on the road for approximately 10 hours every day, it’s not surprising our wildlife rescue van needs a little bit of TLC sometimes.
Right now, the van is out of action and needs major repairs, which will cost thousands of dollars - money we simply do not have to spare.
So far this year, the rescue team has helped more than 250 animals all over Singapore, and we just wouldn’t be able to do this without the van being in tip-top condition.

Be animal conscious: Don’t use glue traps!
Glue traps spell a death sentence for any animal who becomes caught in their sticky grasp. And it’s inevitably a cruel, slow death. So, please don’t use them!
One animal who had a lucky escape from a glue trap was Sniffer the plantain squirrel. Poor Sniffer became trapped on a glue board that had been set up to trap him in an office and, seeing his suffering, the office staff realised it was a mistake and called ACRES for help. It took 3 rou...
