Abby came through her dental beautifully....5 teeth got pulled. We pick her up in 2 hours

Sounds good, hopefully that won't hurt Her ability to eat.

No, she still has 35 teeth. These were smaller ones that were removed. We mushed up her food a bit and she inhaled it

After almost being brought back from the edge of extinction in the wild by conservationists, poachers have now almost eliminated the Northern White Rhino. Just 1 breeding male and 4 females left. :-(

:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

They've been trying armed escorts for rhino in some countries but the guards are being murdered. Dreadfully sad news Wiggo :((((((((((((

The aim of those behind the poaching IS to make the rhino extinct - the "value" of the horns in their vaults will skyrocket. The same is true for the elephant and the tiger. Makes me SOOOOOOOOOOO angry! :[

A comment from the article:
Tip, if you need rhino horn for a 'cure' then just bite your fingernails or eat some hair, same thing. Save the rhino!

It's very sad that rhinos are exploited by some crazy people in order to get more "potent":(

That's just like the black bear just for one part of the bear and the fin of a shark. They cut the fin off and throw the rest back.

The last move here they can't sell shark fin soup anymore in California which I think started this year. It wouldn't be so bad if they used the whole thing but NOOOOOOOOO !!!

Sandra the orangutan took her newfound fame in stride after an Argentine court upheld her right to be freed from a zoo, munching a melon and putting the rind on her head for the cameras.
In a world first, a court ruled that Sandra was entitled to some of the basic rights of a human being and as such was being subjected to unjust confinement at the Buenos Aires Zoo, where she has lived for the past 20 years.

Her name is GREEN, she is alone in a world that doesn’t belong to her.

Good story, so many of them are caged up and can hardly move, I believe we have no right to do this to them. I have always felt that !!!

Back about 5 years ago I guess these teenagers were in front of a lion cage and tormented the hell out of it, guess what, the lion jumped over the fence and gave what for. Killed one. By law they had to put it down.

People should not be allowed to torment caged animals and the Lion should have been tranquilized, and put back in its enclosure. The Lion was doing what it felt it had to do to stop the torment, and for that it earned an unjust death penalty and the keepers if they had been vigilant would have prevented this from happening. I say the law is wrong, it needs to be changed, when the life of a caged animal doesn't matter, then Human lives are less valuable too and some humans live in cages, some not of their own making...

It's not the lions fault at all the zoo should have seen this and run the kids off. Of course the kids should have known better in the first place.

What is it, pay me now or later?

What distinguishes man's best friend dog from the large, feared predator wolf? By living around the clock and even sleeping with the animals, researchers are trying to find out how domestication has affected dog.
