Thankfully he was spotted by our rescue volunteer Chuen Ling Lee and her friend who freed Sunny from the netting and called our rescue hotline to remove the fine but tightly wound netting around his body.
Watch the video of how Sunny finally got hom...

28th Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
THE PILOT PROJECT IN BUKIT TIMAH – MONKEY GUARDS
As 2015 comes to end, it is a good time to review this pilot project which has lasted for one year. The pilot project was initiated following a rise in the human-macaque tension near the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. After several experimental studies and behavioural observations of the macaques, ACRES conducted a one year project – the Monkey Guards project, as an alternative towards a modern way towards co-existing with the macaques.

AN INTERVIEW WITH JOANNA, OUR LONG TERM VOLUNTEER AND THE "SPONSORED PARENT" OF OUR FURRY KIDS (DOGS) AT ACRES!
1. How did you get involved with ACRES?
- I got involved with ACRES as early as a decade ago when the project against the captivity of pink dolphins at Sentosa was launched. Petition booths were set up and I recall bringing one of those petition sheets into office and collecting signatures from my colleagues.

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT –ACRES UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION INTO THE ONLINE, ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE
SINGAPORE, 21 December 2015 - It is Christmas and Singaporeans are buying gifts online. But before you purchase an animal online, know that with the click of a mouse, you may be pulling the trigger on the animal and - at its worst - drive that species to extinction.
ACRES conducted a six-month long undercover operation from June to 15 December 2015. The aim was to investigate the use of online adver...

HELP OUR ANIMALS REST EASY THIS CHRISTMAS
This festive season, we need your help to end animal cruelty, and the first step is to keep our Animal Crime Investigation Unit (ACIU) alive!

Deformed Dolphin Accepted Into New Family
23rd Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
DEFORMED DOLPHIN ACCEPTED INTO NEW FAMILY!
A lone dolphin with a spinal deformity was accepted into a family of sperm whales in the Azores, in a rare display of cross-species interaction.
It is thought that perhaps the slow moving, deformed dolphin "…could not keep up with or was picked on by other members of its dolphin group," and so joined the slower moving whales.
Why did the whales accept the dolphin into their group? Read the article to find out!
