Just last month, the movie Finding Dory was released in cinemas, and there has already an increase in demand for blue tangs (the species that “Dory” belongs to).
Here are some reasons to think twice before keeping blu...

HERE’S PROOF THAT WHEN YOU SPEAK UP FOR ANIMALS, CHANGE CAN HAPPEN.
Members of the public often feel that their individual voice isn’t enough to create change…But they couldn’t be more wrong! Whenever you share information about a cause, sign a petition, write an e-mail, or abstain from supporting an industry that you don’t think is ethical, your impact is felt – and can contribute to positive action, often on a large scale.

WITH YOUR HELP, MORE ANIMALS LIKE YOYO CAN BE SAVED

MEET DESSERT, THE LEOPARD GECKO

The geckos had been left in a bag beside the bin, and thankfully a member of public found the bag and passed them to us.
Unfortunately, the two weaker geckos were in appalling physical condition and had very poor appetites. W...
