Take a look at these bears in this cage.

Will you give your love and support to three bears?

They are stuck in a filthy, barren cage in Armenia.  The bears are used by the owner of Ashtaraki Dzor restaurant to attract visitors and tourists to the venue.

There have been complaints from local animal lovers – but the owner won’t let International Animal Rescue rescue the bears.

The bears have no dignity, freedom or ability to express natural wild bear behaviour.  They are suffering mentally and physically.

They should be roaming about the mountains, not stuck in a cage.

So the idea is that the petition raises awareness of the dreadful plight of these three bears, and puts pressure on the owner to let them go.

Once International Animal Rescue has the green light to rescue these bears, it will move them to their purpose-build rescue centre.

There they will be treated with compassion and respect.  The team there has a lot of experience in the rehabilitation of bears who’ve been rescued, and they will give them all the care and treatment they need to recover from their years in a cage.

Please stand up and give these bears your support.

Give these bears the bear necessities they need for a happier, healthier life.

Pangolins need your help.   They are heavily trafficked and killed in Asia for their skins, scales and meat.

There is a HUGE demand for pangolin scales.   14 tons of them were confiscated in April – in Singapore.  9 tons were confiscated in China back in February.

• People wrongly believe that their scales have healing properties. 
• Their skins are seen as status symbols in fashion.
• And their meat is seen as exotic to eat by Asia’s wealthy elite.  They are served at restaurants in Asia – they’re kept alive until they ordered.  

Not much is known about them, though.  They are shy, nocturnal animals.  And they are susceptible to stress and often die unexpectedly in captivity.

So there’s a petition on Care2 to step up the fight for pangolins.  It is urging the Chinese and Vietnamese lawmakers to enact harsher penalties on illegal pangolin traders and pursue more robust species protection efforts.

Sign the petition to help pangolins here.

If you want to read a feel good story, check out the work that Kyra and Sophie are doing.  They are running Hedgehog Friendly Town.  They are doing amazing work; so far they have saved over 400 hedgehogs and the care they give them is incredible.

The girls have just appeared on Channel 5’s Saving Britain’s Hedgehogs programme and the way they took in a hedgehog from a member of the public was really professional.

They have an Amazon Wish List so if you want to support them, this would be a great way of helping the girls help hedgehogs.

Their website is a mine of information, too.

One of the things I love about these two is that they are giving talks in schools to encourage and inspire other young people to get involved.   Check out their Mission Challenges – there are 5 of them – which will help anyone boost their knowledge and understanding of hedgehogs
