Poultry (including chickens, quails and pheasants) are not allowed to be sold or displayed in Singapore’s bird shops, under the Pet shop licensing conditions for sale and display of birds laid out by the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA).

Thanks to AVA who responded by taking appropriate...

Meet Linda, a dog-faced fruit bat, who w...

THE LOOK OF LOVE?
ಠ_ಠ
Legend is a Chinese stripe-necked turtle whose shell is extremely deformed due to malnutrition and environmental factors, possibly due to being kept as an exotic (illegal) pet in a small confined space.
Habitat loss and hunting are common contributors to the decline of a species population, but so is the wildlife trade. And Chinese stripe-necked turtles are one such example, classified as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
To meet the demands of the exotic...

AN UNDESIRED FATALITY
Imagine the worst sore throat you ever endured, or a large fish bone stuck in your throat. Poor Monsty barely endured the fishing hook wedged in her mouth, and it must have painful and excruciatingly uncomfortable for her. Sadly, she succumbed to her injuries.
The Asiatic soft-shelled turtles are a native species, but Singapore also imports several thousands of wild-caught Asiatic soft-shelled turtles annually for turtle soup.
You can help wild animals by not buying the...

CASHEWNUT THE YELLOW-FOOTED TORTOISE
Likely snatched from the wild and smuggled in cruel conditions across multiple borders over multiple days, CashewNut was kept as an illegal pet in an uncompromising space, and was rescued as an abandoned tortoise in a residential estate. Finally cleared of her three-month quarantine period, CashewNut can now relinquish her second chance at life in a bigger and natural open enclosure where she enjoys the sun on her back, rain on her face, and the cool soft ea...

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.
