I'm a non-practising academic who loves theatre, books, researching, my grandkids and so much more (not in that order.)

They're not entertainers. 🎪 They're not trophies. 🏆 They're not medicine. 💊 They're not pets. 🐾 Keep wildlife in the wild. 🐻🧡
We need to do better for animals. 💔
We received a call from concerned community members about an #osprey that was entangled in twine & hanging upside down from its nest. Members of our Raptor Crew raced to the location to see what could be done. We partnered with Family Tree Arborists to rescue this juvenile bird.
This sweet rescued chicken getting a neck rub is the greatest thing you'll see all day! 🧡 RT if you agree that chickens deserve our compassion, consideration, & respect; not confinement, cruelty, & slaughter. 🧡
Today is Dr. Jane Goodall's birthday! Her compassionate strength and kindness is an inspiration to us all 💖
After spending some time rehabbing at #Salthaven after being hit by cars, two great horned owls were feeling better and ready to head home. The male and female were both released yesterday. Photos courtesy of Chuck Dickson. #ldnont
This kitten RUNS into the ocean to swim with her dad 😻
Chickens playing soccer might just be what someone out there needs to see to understand that chickens deserve our respect, compassion, and consideration! 🐔⚽️
Spirit, a #Salthaven wildlife ambassador, is extra talkative today. Like so many of us, maybe he’s talking about the weather? #ldnont #baldeagle
This is the kind of love that EVERY animal deserves -- no matter what species they're born. RT if you agree! 🧡 @sigualdad
New indigenous artist designs arrived today for kids. New sock designs in two sizes for age 3 to 10, stainless double wall insulated bottles, insulated lunch bags and pencil cases in fun, fun, FUN designs! #ldnont… instagram.com/p/B3s1IA_nTj-/…
Every morning when I wake up, I dedicate myself to helping others to find peace of mind. Then, when I meet people, I think of them as long term friends; I don't regard others as strangers.
After sharing our Fun Fact on oven birds earlier this week, some of you asked, “What does an oven bird look like?” Here you go! They’re quite abundant in Canada – you’ll find them hanging out in mature deciduous & mixed-wood forests. #Salthaven #ldnont #FunFact
A hognose snake suffered minor injuries after getting entangled in a fence. DYK? Hognose snakes will flatten their necks like a cobra when provoked. If continuously provoked, they’ll roll over & play dead. #Salthaven #ldnont #hognosesnake
Of the 7 billion human beings alive today, no one wants to suffer; no one chooses to have problems. Yet, many of the problems we face are our own creation. Why? Because of ignorance. But ignorance is not permanent and whether we overcome it depends on whether we make the effort.
It’s not just our kids who like playing in puddles. Salthaven’s little feathered friends also can’t resist jumping in and getting their feet wet! #Salthaven #ldnont
This milk snake was able to go home after only a few days at #Salthaven. Milk snakes help to keep the rodent population down. That means we don’t have to use rodenticides that poison not only mice, but the animals that eat them, like owls, hawks and foxes. #ldnont #milksnake
Because anger and hostility destroy our peace of mind, it is they that are our real enemy. Anger ruins our health; a compassionate attitude restores it. If it were basic human nature to be angry, there’d be no hope, but since it is our nature to be compassionate, there is.
From kindergarten onwards we need education to strengthen inner values not just pursue material goals. We need to introduce emotional hygiene, much as we teach physical hygiene. This way we can address the problems we face, in the hope of making this a century of non-violence.
In working for the good of humanity I don't think of myself just as a Tibetan or a Buddhist, but as a human being. We have to think of the whole of humanity. Being human is the common ground in our efforts to create a better world, because we all survive in dependence on others.
