Rescued a kitten out of a 8-10 foot deep crawlspace that it had fallen into. We attached yarn to 4 corners of a mesh netting bag and then had a rope attached to the 4 lengths of yarn. Placed kitten food in an attempt to help attract the trapped kitten. The mother of the kitten eventually brought 3 more kittens out of the crawl space. All the cats associated with this video have been fixed. For more crazy cat action visit http://www.catsofeverywhere.com/

I heard a rattling fence and desperate meows. This is what I found. My arrival scared off a herd of rabbits that was standing around gawking. The cat likely got stuck while chasing the rabbits. Karma. What goes around comes around.


 

AND THIS:

People who hate cats meet kittens

AND FINALLY, NOT ONLY HUMANS CAN SHOW KINDNESS:

Rarely seen: Lionesses fight off nomad lion that could kill their cubs

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]his is an extremely rare footage, of a very unusual type of behaviour among lions. With the pride’s male lion absent, the females unite to fight off an intruder that would kill their cubs.  

And something else to think about: who the heck are the politicians, the SOBs, that allow this to happen, and why do WE allow it? Nothing—NOTHING—is sacred when it comes to making a profit. The business instinct that animates corporations is soulless and by definition amoral.

Meditation on the banality of animal murder
rhinoceros-adam.foster.flckr(ADAM FOSTER, CC/FLCKR)

By Rowan Wolf
CROSSPOSTED WITH ANIMAL PEOPLE FORUM
How does it feel to be the man (and yes we can be 99.99% sure it was a man) to kill the last of a species rhinoceros? Never again will the West African Black Rhino step upon the earth.

Rhino.jpgHow does it feel to be the man (and yes we can be 99.99% sure that it is a man) to ingest the powdered horn of that last rhino so that he may have a (purported) heightened sexual encounter? Does it have a special kick because he knows that never again will there be powdered black rhino horn?

FinnedShark.jpg How does it feel to be the man who kills the last shark in the sea? And how does it feel to eat that final bowl of shark fin soup? Do visions of that shark dying a gruesome death intensify the flavor of the soup?
TigerPoaching.jpg

How will it feel to be the man who kills the last tiger? (It will likely happen soon) Killed so that the precious skin can be a rug. How does it feel to own that remnant of a magnificent and now extinct species so you can walk across it like any nylon shag?

Watch out all creatures great and small
Please know that we shall kill you all.
The fewer, the dearer, the higher the price.
Thank greed and capitalism for your demise.
Meanwhile a few will shed a tear
To watch the last of you disappear.

The pursuit of rhino horn — which is prized for its supposed medical value and as ornamental trophies — has decimated populations and reportedly pushed the price per ounce above gold in some places.
