FINLAND’S ONLY DOLPHINARIUM SHUTS DOWN AFTER 29 YEARS This one goes out to Viivi Senghore, who began campaigning to shed light on the plight of captive dolphins at Särkänniemi Adventure Park after it opened in 1985.

ADAPTATIONS AND TOLERANCE OF GROUP LIVING IN MACAQUES
2nd Nov 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)

ADAPTATIONS AND TOLERANCE OF GROUP LIVING IN MACAQUES An important advantage that macaques have in the competition for survival is their practice of living in societies which have constant close association of young and old throughout their lifetimes. Young macaques learn survival skills from experienced, knowledgeable adults. The result is that by the time macaques are mature, they are usually proficient in dealing with each other and the environment. While macaque instinctive survival sk...

DEAR KIDS, THANK YOU! Over the past couple of months, we’ve been receiving donations from a group of supporters that you wouldn’t think have the resources to donate - children! These kids with huge hearts often send us money that they get for their birthdays, or at certain times of the year they donate the money from Chinese New Year “hong bao” red packets, or Hari Raya money - and they all sign off with the same thing: "this money is all for the animals." Each gift is a very heartwa...

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY IN PYTHON’S BRUTAL DEATH On 28 October 2015, the ACRES Wildlife Rescue team received a call about a python at Bukit Timah Plaza. They arrived to find a young python inert on the floor, its head and body crushed, as if stomped on. Accentuating the grisly scene was a cigarette butt placed in the python’s mouth. Do you have any information regarding this python? If so, we want to hear from you. If this python was indeed a victim of deliberate cru...

A SHARK CAFÉ TO SAVE SHARKS? Six years ago, our “When Sharks Die, The Oceans Die” event kicked off our ongoing campaign to end the trade in shark fin soup in Singapore, and we urged Singaporeans to do their bit to help save sharks. Sharks are, after all, vital for the survival of ocean ecosystems. We’re delighted that over the years, many individuals and groups, including a large number of students, have been inspired to make a difference for sharks. Recently, some National Junior Col...

Towards Cruelty-Free Tourism
29th Oct 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)

ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHY: THE HIDDEN CRUELTY Here’s a recent ACRES letter that was published in the Straits Times Forum. The letter was in response to a feature on Thailand’s Tiger Kingdom tourist attraction. We hope that readers will think twice before paying to take their photograph with a tiger – or any wild animal- once they are aware of the cruelty behind each and every photo taken. Please help to spread the word that animal photography is no fun for the animals. Thank you. #LiveCruelty...

WHEN WHALES MEET DOLPHINS Enjoy this rare footage of a beautiful exchange, a golden moment, and an unexpected interaction. It would be interesting to know if and how the two species were communicating. Perhaps one day we will understand more about such cross-species interactions.
