The Brazilian Bird Thats Nearly The Size Of A Human


One look into the menacing eyes of any bird of prey and shivers start rattling through your vertebrae. Their cold-blooded stare pierces your soul. They're not looking for a new friend. They're in the business of hunting, and business is booming.

If you ever watched a Master Falconer work closely with one of their razor-clawed trainees, you immediately understand how careful the handler must be. Birds of prey like owls, hawks, and eagles reign down with full-force when provoked. But all the predatory birds pale in comparison to one Brazilian beast.

Tiger King Zoo Closes Suddenly After License Suspended


The Oklahoma zoo at the centre of hit Netflix series Tiger King has announced its immediate closure after having its license suspended.

The US Department of Agriculture suspended Greater Wynnwood Exotic Animal Park’s exhibitor license on Monday. On Tuesday night, owner Jeff Lowe said the zoo would be closing with immediate effect, citing pressure from the animal rights charity Peta.

He wrote on Facebook: “The Tiger King phenomenon has definitely changed our lives in many ways. It has brought us more attention than any human deserves, good and bad. It has, and probably will continue to make us a target of every nutjob and animal rights loon in the World, but we are prepared.”

'Tiger King' Zookeeper Jeff Lowe Willfully Violated Animal Welfare Regulations, Feds Say


Zookeeper Jeff Lowe is facing possible civil penalties for alleged willful animal welfare violations at the roadside park made famous by the hit Netflix documentary series, "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness."

The allegations number in the dozens and date from 2017.

Among the most serious are claims animals repeatedly did not get proper veterinary care at the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park and vet records were falsified to cover up the neglect.

In one incident, a federal inspector in June ordered the park to get immediate help for "Nala," a 16-week-old lion cub described as lethargic, depressed and thin, unable to get out of the mud even when prompted and breathing rapidly and shallowly.

Family's Horse Goes Missing For 10 Years, Then They Spot A Suspicious Ad On Craigslist



The bond between a horse and its owner is a special one. Just like dogs, horses can develop deep feelings of attachment for the people who are responsible for feeding, brushing, and generally taking care of them.

That's one of the many reasons Texas-area woman Michelle Pool was devastated when she awoke to find her beloved steed, Opie, missing. Nearly a decade passed before she found any hints as to the fate of her beloved horse.

The farm is dedicated to fostering relationships among its sanctuary animals and the people who visit.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — A rescue farm in Prince William County is in danger of closing. Hope and Serenity Farm Sanctuary has rescued nearly 150 animals and works closely with people who suffer from depression, anxiety or PTSD. 

The owners of the non-profit spent years helping not just the animals, but the people who visit them. Now, they are the ones who need help and the community has stepped up in a big way.

President Renee Small said she gets to see miracles happen every week. 

"It’s been my dream to make this come to fruition and to see everybody working together and all of this happening is just, I cannot describe how good it makes me feel," said Small.

Do You Think People Should Have Their Pets Tattooed?



What is our society thinking?...or are they! I hope these pictures are photoshopped.


Apparently, a new trend is getting tattoos put on your pets, particularly any pet that is hairless. In Russia, the hairless Sphinx is the most frequent tattoo victim. Yes, I said victim.

In the 1980s before the microchip was invented for identifying pets, it wasn’t uncommon to tattoo pets with an identification number, often on their inner ear or bellies while they were under anesthesia for another procedure such as spaying or neutering. I think animals should never, ever be put under just for a tattoo.

Note: some of the images may be photoshopped. Very hard to verify.



    Body Modified Dog - Thank GOD this one is totally photoshopped. I hope.




Cosmetic Tattoos - This poor Dalmatian had a pink nose, which is a failure in the breed standard. So his owner got his nose tattooed.



In the ear tattoos - Dogs are often tattooed in their ears, usually with an ID number to help find them if they get lost. But this whole image thing is new.



Sphinx Cat with Ink - By far the most common pet that gets tattooed appears to be the hairless breeds, such as the Sphinx cat pictured here. This could be fake/photoshopped, but it looks pretty much like human tattoos do.



  Jack Russel Belly Tattoo - So this poor dog got a Hello Kitty tattoo on it's belly.



Cat immediately post-tattoo - In this photo, the cat is still anesthetized following it's tattoo. I found several shots of this cat being tattooed while under, so I do think it's real. It's a beautiful tattoo. Just wish it was on someone that could give consent.



                              It's likely these are fake...I hope.




Yes, another hairless Sphinx sporting what looks like real ink. That's a lot of ink for a little cat. I'd say it took 3 hours at least.




Daschund Belly Ink - This little guy has a tiny tattoo on his belly. Likely done when it was spayed/neutered and didn't take too much time.




 Louis Vutton Pigs - Apparently, tattooing pigs is a HUGE thing. Seriously, 
      google it. Scary.




                                         Small Tribal on a Sphinx




                         Demon bat wings tattooed on both sides...sad!
