Tell Resorts World to “Please, let the dolphins go”
25 bottlenose dolphins that once roamed free and wild in the vast Pacific Ocean are now facing a life of captivity, boredom, stress, claustrophobia, frustration and slow death, thanks to Resorts World, which plans to keep them in its spa at Sentosa, Singapore. Two of their family have already died during the ordeal. Please help save these remaining animals.
Find out more about the Save the World’s Saddest Dolphins campaign and how to get involved at the official campaign website.
Rescue Story of the month, January 2012: Chestnut, The Lesser Coucal
On the 14th of January, the ACRES wildlife rescue team received a hotline call about an injured and bleeding bird at Lim Chu Kang, believed to have been hit by a vehicle. Upon advising the caller what to do next, the rescue team rushed to the scene.
The bird was identified as a lesser coucal- a species of cuckoo. This species gets easily stressed from handling- a great concern for the rescue team who carefully examined her and found her to be in shock and bleeding from the mouth; a worrying indication of internal bleeding.
The team swabbed away the blood to prevent the bird from choking and swiftly sped her to the care of our vet who gave her fluids and incubated her. Thankfully, over the next few hours Chestnut (as we named her) made a speedy recovery. The very next day, Chestnut was given a clean bill of health and successfully released back into a suitable grassland habitat.
For as little as $1 a day, you can be directly responsible for giving a rescued animal a chance at a happy and healthy life. Sponsor a tortoise, turtle, snake or lizard!
