Dear Animal Lovers, Advocates, Rescuers & Activists:

We're all worried about the environment, right? And we're all feeling panicky about climate change effects and ongoing weather events that threaten our homes, our pets, our families -- remember the DREAD you felt as recently as Friday, when news reported potential for torrential rains, hail, tornadoes in golden horseshoe? Not to mention crushing heat waves that humans, let alone animals will not survive...  Think about this: If you made this ONE change, the US could reach 74% of their climate change goals by 2020. Go buy some beans! BTW, this doesn't just apply to the US...

BREAKING NEWS

Aleppo zoo animals are still "on hold" in Turkey; latest news says they're due to be moved out this coming Wednesday (four more days in cages, poor dears), to start their journeys to (respectively) Jordanian and Dutch sanctuaries...bless these poor animals...they've been through so much! Bless Dana and Eric too, for their behind the scenes support...REAL citizens of the world, those two... Let's pray the pregnant lioness (carrying two babies, one male, one unidentified) will hold tight for next week or so, and deliver her babies in sanctuary... touch and go! 

Compassionate, quick-thinking police rescue Barrie area bear cub --

UPDATES ON RESCUES

I think I'm just a born rescuer. Postscript to the garage sale craziness this summer, was so proud of all the community building and recycling we collectively pulled off, not to mention so grateful re: funds we raised for animals. Every last bit of metal and plastic was recycled, a new Syrian family and a new Iranian family went home with bags full (gratis) of treasures for their new Canadian homes... It was all so rewarding! Last but not least, I found a box with an Amaryllis bulb in it; poor friggin' bulb was trying SO hard to live -- all crunched over and turned in on itself, drawing every ounce of anything it could from the dry soil it was packed in ...SO glad I found it, took it out, parked it in the garden, gave it some water and sunshine, and lo and behold, look who's gracing my desk! Does anyone know anything about these plants? Like, after it blooms, will it live to do so again? We'll find out! In any event, so glad this gorgeous plant got a second shot at life! 

It's the little things, right? Keep the faith, m&s...
