CLEVER WOMAN USES CAT CARRIER TO SAVE SEAGULL WITH FISH HOOK INJURIES
Written by Yvonne Amery of Auckland, New Zealand
"On the way to the city one morning, I noticed a gull sitting at the edge of the road. I thought it was strange that he did not fly away with the noise of the car.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE GOODALL:
"Everyone laughed at my dreams...."

Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth."

CLEVER RESCUERS GENTLY SAVE BEAR WHO FELL DOWN A WELL
Last week a young sloth bear in India was foraging for food when he fell down a deep well in village of Belgumba. There was three feet of water in the well and the bear had no way to climb up again as villagers had gathered and were shouting and throwing rocks at the petrified bear.
After many tense hours of trying to calm and control the crowd, volunteers finally succeeded in dispersing the onlookers. Tranquilizing the bear in the water w...

But Thayne's terror grew deeper when a rescue team arrived by helicopter and he was told that he would have t...

FOOD FOR 600 DOGS IN ROMANIA
27th Mar 2014, by The Great Animal Rescue Chase
www.HarmonyFund.org
Today we answered a distress call for the Santuhalm shelter which is in dire need and has run out of food for 600 dogs. According to volunteer Guje Syrén, things became dire after the mass propaganda campaign and new law to collect & kill strays.
"People once donated dry food. The super market donated bread and other food. And the animal shop also donated dry food. But after the law was passed, it all came to a stop. People don´t want the dogs now."
As in most Romani...

A 5-year-old peacock named Blue was rescued by firefighters near Chicago, Illinois after he took flight from his heated enclosure and landed in a nearby pine tree.
