Young Hero Boy Shields A Birthing Cat From A Raging Typhoon!

“Out of the mouths of babes,” the saying goes, and in this situation, it couldn’t be more true. Children have a way of showing us what human nature should be, and we’ve forgotten that in our years of bitterness and resentment in our adulthood. Even with the crashing forces of nature threatening his own life, this child went out of his way to take care of a stray who needed it.

Manila Bay is known for having typhoons when the seasons change, and that can bring death and destruction to the lives of those who live along the shore.

But this little boy didn’t seem to care about his own well-being when he spotted a cat giving birth to its young right on the harbor.

It would be easy enough for the rains or a strong wave to wash the feline family away, but the little boy took measures into his own hands by grabbing a large plastic sheet and sheltering the poor cat as it continued to give birth.

The entire scene was captured by a photographer, Linus Escandor, though the name of the boy is still unknown. The feline family was soon taken in by a local animal welfare group where they could receive treatment, shelter and food.

Thanks to the actions of one young child, they were able to get a chance at survival that they wouldn’t have found on their own. Against all odds, and with their young helper, these grateful cats can go on to live full lives. Share this beautiful story with your friends too.

“I’m Not Leaving You, Mama!” This is What Love Looks Like.

UPDATE: Lizzie and Phantom are currently recovering in an outdoor koala ward within the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital . They’re doing swimmingly; Phantom is both gaining weight and exploring his temporary habitat. And of course, mama and baby are sharing more adorable cuddles! For most species in the animal kingdom, the bond between mother and baby is incredibly strong. That's pretty much inarguable. But last week, two koalas in Australia further proved it. After they were hit by a car, Lizzie and her joey, Phantom were welcomed into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Six-month-old Phantom had escaped the accident unscathed. Lizzie, however, wasn’t looking so good, what with facial trauma and a collapsed lung. In order to survive, she needed to go under the surgeon’s knife. But this marsupial mama wasn’t alone during the life-saving procedure. Phantom accompanied her and clung to her as she received treatment. The vets let them be; Phantom was too y...

Stop holding the (2018) Yulin dog meat & lychee festival in Yulin, (Guangxi) China.

This "festival" is an event that starts on June 21st of every year during the summer solstice and it lasts for 10 long horrifying days in which 10,000–15,000 dogs (as well as cats) are tortured and then consumed. However, it is estimated 25 million dogs are stolen, sold, bought, and eaten every year with the illegal dog and cat meat trade. A larger percentage of these dogs consist of pets stolen right from their loving families. The rest of the dogs are captured strays from the streets and some raised in dog farms. After these animals are stolen, bought, or captured they are then transported for days without any food or water, crammed in tiny cages together so tightly that they are unable to even move. At the yulin festival, throughout those days, these animals will be hung, burned, skinned, boiled, torched, dismembered, electrocuted and beaten...ALIVE..out in the streets for public view. But If that isn't bad enough, they intentionally torture these animals in f...

Protect Our Waters: Say No To Plastic Waste!

Plastic garbage. It’s something we all see everyday. Don’t be fooled to think that these plastics are merely an eyesore. We’ve become so accustomed to using plastic utensils, straws, water bottles and bags that it’s easy to forget the impact this has on our environment and climate. My name is Tyler and I’m in my fourth year of university in Canada, where I’m earning a degree in Environmental Studies. I'm also an environmental activist. Even for someone like me, it’s hard to avoid using plastic at places like fast food restaurant, and that needs to change. I’ve started this movement to highlight calls to action happening around the world, and to grow a community of everyday citizens pressing governments and companies to get serious about cleaning up our rivers, lakes and oceans . When we work together, and keep the pressure on, we really can make an impact. I know this firsthand, after collaborating with activists across Canada to successfully urge th...
