Show Compassion for Animals

Yes, there are around 100 camels here, but Sweden is not a natural habitat for camels, they are only here because people have brought them here in order to use them for their own pleasure. The camelid species (camels, alpacas, llama, guanacos, vicugna), lives in northern Africa, Asia, Australia and in the mountainous regions of South America. Camels enjoy dry and open habitats like steppes, semi-deserts, and deserts.

For about ten days ago a person reported to the police that he had seen a dead roe deer in Borgafjäll, in the north of Sweden. The poor roe deer was hanging in a snare! When the police came, the dead animal was gone, so someone had picked up the body. The police confiscated the snare since it’s illegal to use. Hunters are allowed to hunt foxes and white grouses with a snare if they have a permit but that’s a smaller one. The one that the roe deer was…read more

They just stand there with the snowmobile…read more

The license hunt on wolves here in Sweden started last Monday, January 2.

So, then they assumed it wasn’t hit by…read more

A week ago I heard about a young woman that was out in the forest with her dog here in the north of Sweden. The dog was not on a leash because they were hunting hares. Suddenly the woman couldn’t hear the dog any longer and then the dog came running from the forest because a wolf chased it. The wolf bit the dog but fled when the woman screamed. The dog survived the attack; the woman took her to a veterinarian who took care of her wounds. Wolf is…read more

Horses at the zoo I remember when I was a teenager and trained to become an animal keeper. When we did our training at the zoo, a classmate took me out for a ride on the horses there. The one I was going to ride was a beautiful, white Icelandic Horse mixed with some other breed, so he was a little bigger than an ordinary Icelandic Horse. His name was Mestur, and he looked majestic! My classmate rode a black North Swedish Horse named Hervar. He was charming. She and…read more
