LISTEN As This Stranded Orca Cries To The Rescuers Who Are Trying To Save Her!

An orca, or killer whale, is the largest member of the dolphin family. They are highly adaptable and intelligent. They can communicate and even coordinate while hunting, according to us.whales.org.


Orcas are predators and hunt sea lions, seals, fish, and squid. Orcas are not typically a threat to humans, but some stories tell of killer whales protecting humans from sharks! Off the coast of Canada, an orca had become stranded on some rocks.

A man, luckily, saw her and knew she needed help! He called a group of Guardians from Hartley Bay, British Columbia and some people from For Whales also came to help.

All the people who came out were volunteers. According to a Facebook post, the killer whale had been on those rocks for hours. They covered the whale with tarps and sheets to help keep her cool and wet.

They assembled a water pump. The volunteers said that the whale seemed to know that they were trying to help her and that the when the whale cried, their hearts ached.

The rescuers continued to keep the whale wet as the tide slowly crept up. After more than six hours the tide was high enough for the orca to get free from the rocks!

The Facebook post extended a big thank you to the community that has come together to help and protect the helpless whale! The video shows the rescuers and the moment the whale is finally free.

You can tell by the emotion in the woman’s voice that is was a long, hard day – but it was also worth it! Share away, people!

Tesco: Ditch palm oil in your own-brand products!

>>>SIGN PETITION HERE<<< My name is Oscar, I’m 15 and I want to do everything I can to protect our environment .  I was really upset and angry when I found out about the huge deforestation that is involved in the palm oil industry,  and that’s why I’m calling on Tesco to ditch palm oil from their own-brand products. Iceland has already banned palm oil from their own brand products, so we know that this is possible for Tesco too. As the largest supermarket in the UK (and using over 40,000 tonnes of palm oil every year!), Tesco has an opportunity to set an example to other supermarkets and food producers that  destroying swathes of forests for palm oil is not acceptable. I run a online cause called ‘Justice4Earth’ ( @justice4earth  on Instagram and  @justice4earth  on Twitter) where I raise awareness about environmental issues. I found out that palm oil is literally everywhere: from shampoos, toothpastes and detergen...

She Visited A Chained Dog Every Day Until The Dog Disappeared. But That Led To Something Amazing.

Jes is a member of PETA, and she feels incredibly strongly about the animals in her life. For years, one such animal was a dog named Edith. Jes saw Edith chained up day after day, so she started visiting the poor dog. She would bring the loving pooch treats, food, water, and once she even brought a doghouse to the trapped dog. Then, one day Edith’s family moved and took the dog with them. PETA spent a lot of time and energy tracking Edith down, and in March of 2016 her owner’s officially gave Edith to PETA because they were moving once again. This is an incredible and touching story, and if you check out the video below you can watch it all in close detail, and I’m sure that you’ll fall in love with Edith just the way that Jes did. Take a look! Now Edith and Jes are reunited and the two of them couldn’t possibly be happier! Share away, people!

“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...
