Bill Prohibiting the Declawing of Cats in Illinois Passed State House
The stage has been set for the state of Illinois to become part of the growing trend to ban the controversial procedure known as cat declawing, and animal activists couldn’t be happier. If enacted, the proposed bill would essentially make it illegal to declaw cats outside of an established therapeutic purpose. While it passed the Illinois House recently, this does not make it a law yet. In order for that to happen, it will need the approval of the Illinois Senate, which will be viewing it for further consideration. Photo: Pixabay/birgl...

This Diver Shared a Remarkable Moment with a Sea Turtle Who Approached Him for Help
Not all people can have the chance to visit the marine environment. Some may experience it through scuba diving, but they only get to do it a few times in their life. The environment underwater can mesmerize you — there is really a lot about the world that you should discover, and most of them are below the sea. For this reason, some people would take scuba diving lessons to witness the beauty of the ocean and all its majestic creatures. Instead of having a mermaid tail, you have complete scuba diving attire to make your underwater...
Sauvetage Animal Rescue Found and Helped a Family of Bunnies Trapped in a Storm Grate
Small animals usually have the hardest time adjusting to nearby civilized areas. They often find themselves stuck in pipes, between house walls, trash bins, and more. Due to their size, their situation is unnoticeable, especially in secluded places.

The animal should be checked by a vet and be given treatments, especially if you’re unsure of how long they have been trapped. Also, they often acquire...
