📚 History Lessons – Part 1, please share. 📰 “Phoenix Concern Eliminating Wild Horses From State” (Arizona Republic, 1927) In 1927, a newspaper article revealed the industrial-scale Elimination of Arizona’s wild horses by the Arizona Reduction Works, a horse slaughter plant in Phoenix. These are quotes from the historic article: > “More than 3,500 wild horses from Arizona ranges have been used in the first year's operations…” > “The reduction company reported that it will use 15,000 horses during the next year in manufacture of horse meat for poultry feed, dog food, and other purposes.” > “Twenty-five thousand head of the otherwise worthless animals have already been contracted for the next two-year period.” > “Officials of the company estimate that there are half a million wild horses on Arizona ranges, assuring an unlimited supply…” These quotes don’t just describe a historical event—they document a systematic eradication of Arizona’s wild horses. With hundreds of Alpine wild horses being sent to slaughter auctions, its almost as if nothing has changed in 100 years, right? With the only other bidders being notorious killbuyers, our intervening and your support was the only thing that saved hundreds of them, most of whom are now roaming in sanctuaries. With a certain fact spinning history revisionist professor who is after the Salt River wild horses, we just wanted to post some proof that hundreds of thousands of wild horses used to roam our state and that we are lucky that at least some survived in the thick reeds of the Salt River. That is the real history. Salt River wild horses did not come out of nowhere, were not dropped off by ranchers and although the reservations also had wild horses, our own forest service lands did too and they were managed under the multiple use sustained yield act of 1960. That will be in part 2. The Salt River wild horses are the last remnants of the vast herds that once roamed our state, but if your goal is to get rid of them, then you have to deny the horses their rich history and demean them, devalue them, and that's exactly what's happening. 🔎 However, this isn't anecdotal or someone’s recollection that "they didnt see any wild horses". It’s a primary source—a published, dated newspaper article written at the time these events took place. "Not anecdotal" means it’s not hearsay. It’s verifiable history—and it really happened. 🐎 The Salt River Wild Horses Are the Survivors and the rest were wiped out. They likely survived because they were very hard to find hidden deep in the river's thick vegetation. They are among the last living remnants of the half-million horses that once roamed Arizona—and they are a living piece of our state’s history. Let’s make sure that real history does not get forgotten, and that we start doing better preserving these historic wild horses.

After witnessing the great outpouring of affection from my followers after my previous post featuring this Elephant, I have decided, as Earthweek ends, to take an action that truly springs from the heart. I have arranged to remotely adopt this magnificent creature and make him part of my extended family. Perhaps this gentle giant, is truly the “Big Brother” I always wanted? His name is Sebakwe. He is forty years old; an elegant bull elephant and leader of the Jabulani Herd. I met him on a recent Safari Excursion to Africa His herd is a group of abandoned and orphaned elephants rescued, rehabilitated, and given a forever home where they all now live together. Every saved creature in this group has their own story of hardship, survival and eventual success. Please help me to honor the special work of our planet’s animal rescuers, conservationists, and other heroes who seek to better our world, by reposting this message, contacting www.herd.org.za to partake in their elephant welfare project, or reaching out to the ecologically-minded organization of your choice. #elephant🐘 #elephant #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographyoftheyear #zimbabwe🇿🇼 #southafrica #veterinarians #veterinariansofinstagram #veterinarianlife #conservation #earthday2025 #earthday🌎 #ecologylife #ecologylife #ecologyart #petsofnyc #animalacupuncture #veterinarianmedicine

Meet Scarface, A Spectacular Spectacled Cobra! Scarface was critically injured when a JCB at a construction site shattered her head, exposing her trachea and esophagus, and damaging her fangs at the root. Her chances of survival seemed grim. However, our dedicated veterinary and rehabilitation teams refused to give up. Scarface underwent complex reconstruction surgery, and through tireless care, including tube feeding, she slowly fought her way back to health. After 9 months of rehabilitation, Scarface has made an incredible recovery. She has regrown and healed, and in just three more months, she'll be ready to return to the wild! This is a huge milestone for her and for our team. To prevent such incidents in the future, it is essential to take precautions at construction sites. Workers can use sticks to thump the ground in advance, encouraging snakes to move away from the area. This simple step can save countless lives. #pfa #pfawildifehospital #pfabangalore #peopleforanimals #snakes #cobra #Snakesofindia #snake #urbanwildlife #saveurbanwildlife

URGENT: Add your voice and tell the Federal Environment Minister to stop cat-led deaths and extinctions in Australia 👇 Each year, peer-reviewed evidence has revealed cats kill: 🏜 More than 1 billion mammals, like the near threatened quoll 🦜 More than 399 million birds, like the extremely rare night parrot 🦎 More than 609 million reptiles, like the vulnerable great desert skink 💔 Overall cats kill 2 BILLION animals in Australia. Many of our animals and reptile species can't take much more. Already, cats have driven 25 native animals to extinction. ACT NOW to protect what is unique and wondrous about Australia. The chance to save our animals is now. If we miss it, it may be too late.

Hairy-nosed otters are great at staying hidden. In fact, in 1998, nobody had laid eyes on one for more than ten years, and scientists declared them extinct – only to discover that they’d been there all along, doggedly clinging to life in isolated pockets of Southeast Asia. Today, they’re still considered the world’s very rarest otter – and they’re still facing a desperate decline. Poachers have been laying wire snares across the riverbanks and mangrove swamps they call home, catching unsuspecting otters in a deadly trap from which there’s no escape. Illegal trade in otter skins is still rife in many parts of Southeast Asia – if nobody’s protecting them, we’re going to lose them for real next time. Donate just $36 today, and you could help install a camera trap to monitor their habitat. You could also equip the skilled local people who act as patrols, removing snares and keeping beautiful animals like these safe from harm. Please don’t wait – donate today, and help give the world’s rarest otter a fighting chance.

Did you know Bamboo lemurs consume cyanide at levels that could be lethal to humans! 🌿 Fortunately, these toxins don’t harm them. Much like pandas, bamboo lemurs have evolved to neutralize cyanide, allowing them to safely enjoy a diet of bamboo—a resource they don’t have to compete for with other species in their habitat. Nature’s toxin-tolerant specialists! 🐾💚 #FunFactFriday 📷:Deb Bradley [ A Northern Bamboo lemur sat on a bamboo branch. ]

What a difference five months of rehabilitation in the life of a rescued baby sea turtle can make!? More than 10 times its own bodyweight and the difference of dying on a beach or surviving and help the entire species of loggerhead turtles in our ocean's 🐢👍! Today, we are celebrating the arrival of another partner to the Dolphin Discovery Centre Family: @JBS&G - An Independent Accredited Environmental Consultancy https://www.jbsg.com.au/ has signed up with us for a 3 year partnership to safeguard the rescue turtle program and to help build the NEW Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre that currently gets developed by our own experts. Without these partnerships and grants from Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and @Lotterywest, this would not be possible and we say a massive thank you to all who help making a difference to an endangered marine species. Watch this space for more exciting news and information coming in early 2025😀! But for today, please enjoy these images. Have a look at the charts of some of our 15 rescue baby turtles we currently care for. The lowest arrival weight this year was tiny turtle 'Megan' weighing only 41g, and today it holds still the record with almost 900g more than 20 times its initial weight - you go Megan💪! All of this wouldn't be possible without or dedicated and passionate Volunteers & Staff looking after these animals 24/7.
