10th Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)

EXTENDING EMPATHY AND COMPASSION TO NON-HUMAN ANIMALS More than 30 leaders in social sciences have signed an open letter urging institutions whose work focuses on empathy and compassion to overcome their blind spot when it comes to non-human animals. The letter highlights ways in which cultural norms position non-human animals either as commodities to be exploited for our pleasure, or as having interests 'less than' those of humans. It also points out that these social norms negatively impact ...

The Last Of The Pink Dolphins
9th Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)

HONG KONG’S PINK DOLPHINS UNDER THREAT! A few months ago, our dolphin team trained with the Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society (HKDCS) to learn more about the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, the same species found in Singapore’s waters. Unfortunately the population isn’t doing too well in Hong Kong, as the population has plummeted from 158 in 2003 to 61 in 2014 – a 40% decline. The BBC has written a very interesting and informative article about this – take a look! We aim to le...

GREEN IGUANA 10-10-10-10 SADLY PASSES AWAY 10-10-10-10 was so named as he was rescued on the 10th of October 2010 at 10pm. He was a large fully-grown adult at the time of rescue, although we will never know his exact age. He was a fit and active iguana, with his size and strength second only to Midori, who is the largest green iguana in our care. We have seen 10-10-10-10 go through many different phases – from being a sweet and curious iguana who loved morning glory to being a very temperame...

Stamping Out The Wildlife Trade (Wildlife In Singapore Part 4)
6th Dec 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – DO YOUR PART TO END ANIMAL CRUELTY Singapore has strong laws which aim to protect animals from the illegal wildlife trade and abuse.

The ACRES’ Animal Crime Investigation Unit (ACIU) seeks to be their eyes and ears. By investigating crimes against animals, we give them a fighting chance to attain justice and a better life. Increa...
