  1. This tiger has no voice - so please give this poor animal your voice.

    The tiger is in a tiny cage in Greece.  

    In Rhodes in Greece, the Esperos Village Hotel is keeping a tiger in inhumane conditions.

    All our signatures are needed to urge the hotel to release the tiger to a sanctuary now.   

    The hotel owns thousands of acres of land but this tiger is in a tiny cage.  The only source of shade is a metal container - and that can get boiling hot in the summer heat.  

    The tiger is supposed to be an attraction for its guests - but visitors often throw stones and rocks on top of the netting covering the tiger's enclosures. 

    The tiger needs to go to a sanctuary that can offer a more natural home and veterinary care.   

    Sign the petition urging the Esperos Village Hotel to release its tiger to a sanctuary.

     

  2. There’s a wonderful video on the BBC website about an amazing couple who live in Morocco who have set up a retirement home, orphanage and care centre for working animals there.

    The centre is in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains near Marrakech.



    Charles Hantom is a retired solicitor from Manchester, and Susan Machin was a barrister in Manchester too.   They moved to Morocco and as well as caring for these equines, they also provide work for local people.  You can find out more about them here.

    The muleteers are all Berbers raised alongside animals and who have ridden since childhood so they are experienced in the handling of donkeys and mules.


    You can help by making a donation or adopting a mule or donkey.  And don’t miss Tommy’s Blog.

    Thank you to Charles, Susan and the muleteers for all you’re doing to help the equines of Morocco. 

     

  3. Does your search engine plant trees when you search for stuff online?

    If not, please take a look at Ecosia.org. 

    It's a rather amazing search engine because every time you search you can help plant a tree and it won't cost you anything!  On average it takes 45 searches to plant a tree but these days that won't take long to add up!

    Ecosia's goal is to plant one billion trees and they've just hit the 40 million tree mark - so 40 million trees have been planted as a result of people using their search engine to search for stuff online.

     

    Not only that, but you can buy t-shirts - and they'll plant 20 trees for every t-shirt you buy.  I bought one and I love the quality and feel of it - and best of all, I know my purchase is helping to plant trees :-) 

    So take a look at Ecosia and plant trees as you search!
