Yesterday a person I know asked me if he would have to pay if he found an injured native animal and took it to the vet. I reassured him that he wouldn't have to pay, vets take them and if they are OK will contact a local carer to look after it. Then he said he had become much more aware since he got to know me, and I was so pleased that talking about animals has resulted in a change in how he cares about them. Never stop being a voice for animals, it really does make a difference.

Please be careful when driving this time of year. Reptiles are coming out of hibernation and baby birds, kangaroos, possums etc are out and about. And PLEASE do not use gift wrapping items such as curling ribbon which gets tangled around birds and animals if not disposed of properly. Birds building nests will pick these up and they end up killing chicks. I once was called out to a rescue, a baby bird had this awful curling ribbon tightly wrapped around its' little leg which was swollen and must have been so painful. It had to be euthanised. And it had a dead sibling caught at the other end of the ribbon. 

Penguins are dying because of the fishing industry taking sardines. A large amount of sardines gets used as feed for the animal agriculture industry. Another reason to go vegan. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/african-penguins-st...
