What affects us affects cats
At the time David Gill managed the South Lakes Safari Zoo in Cumbria, England. In 2010 a female Sumatran tiger cub, Kadi, was one of the zoo’s star attractions. Her birth in that year was a triumph for David Gill. This is the man, incidentally, who has allegedly totally messed up the management of …
I hope this catches on. I’m guessing (although I have not been inside one – yet) that police stations are rather soulless, forbidding places where macho men deal with the day-to-day difficulties of maintaining law and order.

Killing feral cats in order to protect wildlife is a short term fix but in the long term there will be failure. Conversely, trap-neuter-release (TNR) is a long term solution which if carried out consistently and with commitment produces success.

In most cases, I don’t believe that it is a good idea for a judge to order convicted animal abusers to work 200 hours in an animal shelter as part of their punishment. The idea is to rehabilitate these criminals, to make them respect animals so that they won’t reoffend. I am afraid I …
Can you believe this cat story? I struggle to. In short, a woman buried a dead cat believing he was her own but then a while later, on the same day, her cat, Tom, ambles into the house. She was so confident that her cat was dead and buried that she announced it on …
