7th Jul 2023, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)

TRAPPED CIVET FOUND DEAD IN A CAGE Last week, our wildlife rescue team responded to a report from a concerned member of public, who spotted a civet in a cage within a private property. Our rescue officers were shocked to find that the civet was already dead, and the animal was trapped the day before with heavy rains.

But fundamentally, Ms Boopal Anbarasi Boopal (ACRES Co-CEO), who has been in the wildlife rescue scene for 18 years, believes Singapore should also r...

In Focus: Why Are People Cruel To Pets And Wildlife?
13th May 2023, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)

WHY ARE PEOPLE CRUEL TO ANIMALS? CNA spoke to mental health professionals, animal welfare groups and the authorities about what drives people to abuse animals, if such acts can be prevented, and how they are investigated. "If you can be cruel towards animals, it shows that there is a lack of empathy, so when there is a lack of empathy, it is likewise the same when you treat other human beings,” said Dr Lim [Psychiatrist Lim Boon Leng]. “When you have a lower level of empathy, you don't f...

All went well in the end after a few attempts, but this one photo says it all that the mildly grumpy pup prefers their wild parents! If you want to help otters online, remember not ...
