Black Dog Named Sam Finally Adopted After 871 Days At Oklahoma Shelter
For 871 days, a large black dog named Sam stared at the same four walls at Bixby Animal Rescue Network waiting for someone to choose him. All of his dog pals found homes, but no one came to meet him. People continued to pass him by, and he couldn’t understand why. The 4-year-old Labrador retriever mix is a perfect gentleman and goes potty outside and walks nice on a leash. He’s always up for a game of fetch and is a big goofball. Even though staff and volunteers showered him with love and affection, “Mr. Handsome” (as...
Yellowstone National Park Sanctions Hunting of Bison to Cull Diseased Herd
Yellowstone National Park has sanctioned the hunting of its bison herd as part of a four-month culling operation to prevent the animals from wandering onto public lands north and west of the park, the New York Times reports. The animals are being hunted because some 60% of the herd is infected with brucellosis, which can be transmitted to cattle and cause them to abort their calves. The culling has generated criticism, particularly because of the number of pregnant females that have been killed. More than 1,530 bison have been culled so far,...
Letter From Vincent: A Dispatch From the Director of HASS
I’ve been thinking a lot about people. About the people we work with, and the people in the communities we serve. We don’t always talk about people in animal welfare, but we should, because we’ve discovered at HASS that you can’t aid in animal welfare without coming to the aid of people—or without people helping you. This week, I am joining more than 2,500 of my friends and colleagues at HSUS Animal Care Expo in New Orleans. I’ve known many of these committed animal welfare professionals for two and a...

Alligator and Man Unbelievably Had a Close Interaction Leaving Netizens Shocked and Concerned
People must understand that accessible habitats in the wild should be visited with caution. Although the animals are calm and quiet, it doesn’t indicate that it’s safe to approach them. Curiosity is only natural, but you can control your response. It may be tempting to get close but prioritize your safety first. Also, a sudden approach can stress the animal, and it’ll think that you’re a threat. Wild animals are majestic, but admiring them from afar should be enough. Unless you’re a professional or a rescue...
Two Thirsty Cobras were Ready to Attack, But This Man Still Bravely Showed Kindness
Climate change increases the Earth’s temperature bringing extreme heat, especially during the summer. Even the countries accustomed to hot weather are having a difficult time adjusting to the temperature rise. Animals are just as affected as humans. However, it’s more challenging for them because their water source dries up during extreme heat. Wild animals are more exhausted from finding shade or cold areas. Cooling down is vital for survival; otherwise, the animal could die from heatstroke. Summer is now a stressful season for...
