Security Guard Was Sitting When Something Sneaked Up On Him. When He Shone His Light? OMG.

Muhammad is a security guard in the U.K. He was on duty when a little fox dragged (yes, dragged) himself up to where Muhammad was standing. Muhammad offered the little fox a snack and called for help. When the wildlife rescuers, from the National Fox Welfare Society, arrived, the fox just rolled on his back and didn’t run off.

He needed help, and he found it! The rescuers took the fox to the shelter, named him Finn, and gave him some bread and honey. Finn wolfed down the food! As they examined him, they saw that one of his back legs was badly broken, and he would need surgery.

Finn was happy to wait for his turn in the operating room, he enjoyed chicken with honey and some lovely pain medications! He was given a stuffed bunny to snuggle with too!

Here is the cute couple now! At The Avenue Vets – Kettering, Finn looks worried as he heads to surgery with Dr. Adrian O’Shea. Finn’s operation was a success! Doctors believe that Finn had broken his leg a while back and that it was likely the result of poor nutrition, not an accident.

The National Fox Welfare Society said Finn’s mom had probably left him behind because she knew something was wrong.

Finn is recovering nicely and making up for lost time by eating all his meals with gusto! He also went a little overboard one day when he ended up eating his bunny!

I bet he gets another stuffed friend soon! Get well soon Finn!

“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...

The Sound Of This Baby Rhino Wailing After Its Mother Was Killed By Poachers Will Haunt You

It’s one of the most sorrowful sounds you’ll ever hear, but it’s also a sad reality check for anyone who thinks protected species are safe from illegal poaching. In a video released this in July, a baby rhino named Davi cries for his mother after she was shot and killed by poachers. Most rhinos spend at least three years with their mothers before weaning, the Dodo reports, but Davi’s childhood was cut short at just 8 months old. The baby rhino stood close by his mother’s lifeless body until rescuers arrived. They fitted her with earplugs and a blindfold to calm his anxiety on the way to The Rhino Orphanage in South Africa. Source: YouTube/Terrence Daniels Davi huddles close to his mother’s dead body. It was there that Davi spent the night crying. “His calls for mom echoed deeply and urgently throughout the night, but two carers have been with him every step of the way,” caretakers posted . “At least he is in good physical condition [and] has no injuries...

Speak out against the cruel dog meat trade

Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively shut down farms in South Korea, assist farmers as they transition to more humane livelihoods, support our local Chinese partners in intercepting dog meat traders’ trucks, fund the care of confiscated and rescued animals and lobby for better laws throughout Asia. Take the pledge to fight the cruel dog meat trade >>> SIGN PETITION HERE <<<
