  • The animals in Australia are suffering, with millions already lost in the devastating bushfires💔 There are many wonderful organisations working tirelessly to help, and they need all the support they can get. Also, the biggest thank you to the @nswrfs for everything they are doing to fight these fires. Stay safe everyone💛 @wireswildliferescue @rspcansw @rspcaaustralia @animalsaustralia @portmacquariekoalahospital 🐾🐾
  • “Time spent with a cat is never wasted.” - Sigmund Freud 💛 This beautiful boy is Spade, one of the biggest inspirations behind Animal Friendly Life. When he was very young he was run over and hit over the head with a shovel by a man who then just threw him into the bush to die alone. Lucky for him, a lovely woman saw what happened and called the police. Spade was rescued by the #RSPCA and although he had a fractured skull and a broken jaw, he ended up recovering and finding his furever home. He absolutely loves and trusts all people, despite what he went through. We could all learn a lot from animals like Spade. 🐾🐾
  • #repost The koala population has been devastated in the recent bushfires. Unlike kangaroos and other animals, koalas can’t run away to escape the smoke and flames, they can only climb further up the trees. Hundreds have perished in the past week alone. To all those working tirelessly to fight the fires, thank you. Thank you also to those who are helping to pick up the pieces and take care of those who can’t care for themselves. If you would like to donate to the care and rehabilitation of the koalas, follow @portmacquariekoalahospital
  • Today in Australia is Melbourne Cup day, an event that is traditionally celebrated as the ‘race that stops the nation’. Every year there is a winner, but there are also many losers. Between 2013 and 2018 the Melbourne Cup awarded six winner’s trophies. In those same six years, six horses died as a direct result of their participation in the race. Will you be saying #nuptothecup this year? 🐾🐾

  • Happy World Animal Day! 💛 A day to celebrate animals and all they mean to us. It’s also a good day to make a pledge to live a more animal-friendly life. One thing we are most passionate about is responsible and ethical tourism. We want to show you places where you can have a wonderful holiday and interact with animals, without having a negative impact on them or their environment. A popular holiday choice is to travel to elephant sanctuaries in south east Asia. While they may look good on the outside, many of these places still exploit elephants for tourism. The team @worldanimalprotectionaustralia has put together tips for spotting elephant-friendly venues, as well as a list of sanctuaries doing the right thing and who should be on your list of places to visit!
