SSSSSS…SENTIENCE?
When it comes to specifically humans and snakes (and many other wild animals) in Singapore, these wild animals are like the members of the Jedi order.
“A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack”.
Ignorance kills. And it did kill this young reticulated python.
Reticulated pythons are one of the most commonly sighted non-venomous species of snakes in Singapore. Mainly feeding on rats, they are shy in nature and will avoid humans unless provok...

TODAY IS WORLD MONKEY DAY!
Macaques mostly eat fruits and seeds, dispersing seeds to ensure the survival of many plant species, which in turn supports other wild animals.
With forests that are shrinking and fragmenting, these mammals are getting closer to us. And through observation from a distance, we would realise how similar we are to a monkey troop.
Just like us, long-tailed macaques comfort each other after a conflict to restore relationships. They have a variety of facial expressions f...

Sapphire Flies Free

SAPPHIRE FLIES FREE
As the bittern season ends, the pitta season begins.
Like bitterns, stranded pittas may collide into hard surfaces and most often just need a quiet rest in a ventilated dark box, at room temperature, for a few hours to recover.
To help these birds and countless other wild animals in distress, please make a donation today: http://acres.org.sg/donate-now/

Argentina’s Vegan Mondays
5th Dec 2017, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
ONE STEP FORWARD.
THANK YOU, ARGENTINA!
“In a bid to start a debate on health and the national diet, it has instituted meat-free Mondays. For one lunch each week, the canteen (at Casa Rosada – tag “Casa Rosada”) will only serve vegan options to the 500-plus employees, including President Mauricio Macri.
Governments can do more than lead by example. Portugal passed a law this year requiring a vegan option at public institutions.”
