Egg poachers are one of the many challenges faced by Turtle Guardians. Field biologist Ooi Ying Cheing tells us of his experience with the types of poachers he has encountered:
"Here are a few types of poachers that I can think of:
1) The ones who are usually friendly, but not so friendly when there is a turtle

The past 2 days, over the latest weekend prior to Hari Raya Puasa, have seen A DOZEN (12!) furry cuties migrate from our shelter to their new, loving, forever homes....
We've managed to photo-capture only about half of that total number (i.e. 6 only) animals with their new owners, in the most recent posts here. So, in summary, here are all 12 animals, whisked away to their new homes and Happy-Ever-Afters (along with shout-outs to their new owners!):-

.... And another 3 rabbits have hopped over to their newfound, forever homes!
We would like to thank:
- the Liew family for taking home the awesome pair, PREETI and SAM; and also

A Marion County couple surrendered the puppy to the staff at The Downtown Veterinarian on East 11th Street earlier this month. They explained the dog's front legs hadn't developed and, although his mother was feeding him those first few weeks, as soon as he was weaned, the other dogs weren't letting him near any food.
The couple said they had driven...

Our animal friends are waiting with bated breath for the Animal Kingdom Bouncy Castle to open its doors, and the aroma of food seems to be infecting everyone, even our volunteers! The first ever ACRES Carnival is in motion now! So COME ON DOWN NOW to the Youth Park!!!
