Barcelona (Spain), ??Jun 20 (EFE).- A group of thirteen animal rights activists took part on Sunday in a representation in Barcelona to ask the council of the Catalan capital to modify the regulations and ensure that the fireworks, especially those of the Sant Joan festival, do not explode with sound and thereby preserve the birds.FOOTAGE OF THE PROTEST,
Three elephants named Mara, Kuki and Pupi have officially filed a lawsuit against the the Buenos Aires Zoo, where they currently reside, claiming that their quality of life there amounts to animal cruelty. Well, to put it more accurately, their lawyer, Andres Gil Rodriguez, has been allowed to state these claims on behalf of his pachyderm clients by the court, but the elephants really are suing the zoo for animal cruelty. No, really. The argument is that the elephants could have a much better life at an elephant sanctuary had they not been held captive by the zoo for profit. And ever since a 2014 ruling which declared that an orangutan has the same rights as humans, they actually might win.
Animal rights groups estimate that over 50,000 greyhounds are abandoned every year in Spain. This mistreatment is blamed on hunting and racing, but the hunters blame thieves.
The Zoo of Copenhagen has released footage of a baby elephant which was born last week in captivity as part of a European breeding program for Asian elephants. The mother is 16 year old Maha Kumari and the fathers name is Fahim. The name and gender of the baby elephant aren't known yet. Calves weight in beetween 70 and 90kg at birth after spending 22 months in their mothers wombs, the longest gestation in the animal kindom. Elephant births in zoos are relatively rare with a total number of 18 worldwide in 2023 IMAGES
