We’re delighted to be working together with Twedya.com - a global public opinion hub - to further raise awareness about various animal protection issues.
Here’s our latest article, on the subject of mercy release of animals which - although fuelled by good intentions - may cause all sorts of suffering to the animals involved, as well as negative environmental impacts.

SOMEONE LOOKED FOR ENERGY IN THE WRONG PLACE!
From time to time, the ACRES wildlife rescue team encounters strange and at times…silly cases. Taurine, the equatorial spitting cobra got himself in a fix – when taking a sniff inside a Redbull drink can. Reasons why he did that? – we would never know. Unfortunately, the only thing he got was his head stuck in the can, and he definitely needed some help.
Watch and share this silly and adorable rescue video and please support our rescue work ...

7 MORE DAYS TILL OUR GALA DINNER!
Bluebell is a young collared kingfisher. We often get alerted to cases of baby birds who have fallen from their nests. Without their mothers, they cannot survive, so we try to find their nest and reunite them. Successful reunions are among the most rewarding experiences for our Wildlife Rescue Team!
At our 15th anniversary charity gala on the 20th of May, we’re hoping to raise $180,000 so that we can continue to help animals in need, just like Bluebell. The ...

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
It’s wonderful that, as a parent, you can play a key role in creating a more compassionate society, through your children!
We had a rare opportunity on 8 April. We gave presentations to two groups of kindergarten children – together with their parents - at MOE Kindergarten Punggol Green. Usually, the only chance for us to reach out to both the parent and child together is during our public roadshows. The impact made can be so much greater when the child’s family me...
