23rd Jan 2014, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
A great read this Veggie Thursday!
"Oprah Winfrey once said that the start of a new year offers 'another chance for us to get it right'. One way that we can 'get it right' in the year ahead - whether our goal is to improve our health, reduce our ecological footprint or help end the exploitation of others - is to stop eating animals.

Sleven, The Green Iguana
21st Jan 2014, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
Early 2013, we were alerted to rescue a Green iguana found inside an industrial area in Kallang. She was named Sleven, and sadly, we realized something was wrong with Sleven, starting from her bloated stomach, malformed jaws to her very awkward gait. She was diagnosed gravid, along with a lot of gas and fluids, followed by constipation. Her blood analyses did not reveal much, leaving us with a lot of symptoms to address to ensure her survival. She had also developed sores on her limbs from inact...

Suzzie – A victim of an illegal snare
We recently received a call about a macaque stuck on a tree at Sembawang Park. The rescue team- Sabrina, Uma and Connor- rushed to help, and found a female macaque hanging helplessly from a tree with her left hand caught in a snare.
Here is Sabrina’s account of the rescue: “We climbed the ladder and I held the macaque safely and securely while Uma cut the snare from her wrist. As we descended down, we were 'greeted' by her troop: the alpha male charg...
