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.

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. 

If you love crafts and you love animals, here’s a great chance to get crafty for animals who need help!

The National Animal Welfare Trust  have 6 re-homing centres in the south of England.  And they also have an NAWT Craft Club.   This is a great chance to join a team of supporters who get crafty to help the NAWT improve facilities at their centres, or to help fundraise by making items the charity can sell at events and open days.

Ideas include:

• Bunting
• Crochet cat balls
• Pet blankets
• Shopping bags
• Home-made cards
• Easter Egg hats

My Auntie Susan (actually in New Zealand) loved to knit and she loved cats so she began knitting blankets and squares for the local rescue centre.   She ended up being a feature in the local paper there and it gave her a real purpose and great pleasure to know her knitting was helping cats in the charity’s care.
