Incredible recovery of dog dying in gutter: Phoenix’s Story
We got an urgent call that a dog was laying in a sewage ditch.
When our rescue team arrived they saw that she was only in a foot of water, but was actually starting to drown. Her nose dipped wearily into the water. Bubbles were emerging. If we had arrived even 5 minutes later, it’s possible she would have drowned.
When we lifted her out we could see that she had a completely fractured leg, hanging only by loose tissue. Maybe she had been hit by a car, was confused, lay in the water in a desperate effort to stop the bleeding or ease the pain.
Once back in Animal Aid we determined that she was in shock–her pulse was weak and she was hypothermic. We feared we might lose her. She urgently needed an amputation but was too weak to withstand surgery. So we spent several days stabilizing her–a balancing act between strengthening her, and holding the infection and pain at bay.
Her operation took place 3 days later and now–it’s like a miracle–meet Phoenix!
A dog lay in a coma by the side of a busy road, completely unresponsive.
We gently lifted him and rushed him to Animal Aid. We examined him from head to toe but found no sign of broken bones and suspected a head injury, so we treated him with a medicine that reduces brain swelling.
He didn’t awaken for 24 hours. And by the third day he—well, watch and see for yourself what Roxy’s pure radiant joy looks like today.

Hesse Environment Minister Mrs. Priska Hinz: “The higher the stock of wild boar, the faster the spread of the disease is possible. Therefore, it is still very important to keep the local wild boar density low throughout Germany, “said the Minister on May 26 at the State Hunters Day in Fulda, and cordially thanked the legal killers of the forest for done an unprecedented mass murder in the amount of 96,000 wild boars!
In the hunting season 2017/18, a record distance was achieved for wild boar: in Hesse, around 96,000 wild boars were killed, which represents an increase of around 30 percent over the previous year.
There are no more taboos on wild boar hunting for more than two decades, in Germany.
The number of “motor hunts” has increased in recent years. Forest owners, farmers’ associations and political leaders in the ministries are calling for intensive action against the alleged “pig pests”!
Germany – closed seasons are no longer respected and apply high premiums for killed pigs.
Yesterday, however, came an interesting message in the newspaper www.topagrar.com, which said:
“The Danish parliament has decided: The country wants to build a fence about 70 kilometers long against wild boars. He is to prevent wild boars from wandering from Schleswig-Holstein to Denmark. The fence is part of a package against African swine fever, which was agreed by the liberal-conservative minority government in Copenhagen and the supporting right-wing populist Danish People’s Party. Politicians fear, that migratory animals infected with the disease are threatening the billion-dollar pork industry in Denmark”.
A much better-informed guy about the african pest, Schleswig-Holstein’s Environment Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) criticized the Dane as a “politically difficult signal” … “So far, there were only cases of swine fever in Eastern Europe, in Germany is still no disease of a pig known”!!
Why then the mass murder of 96,000 living beings in his neighbor country Hesse?
Obviously, the one, the unsuspecting Mrs. Priska Hinz, did not know that not a single fattening pig in Germany leaves his concentration camps in his entire short life, and therefore does not come in contact with meadow and other wild pigss, and therefore the fattening pigs can not get the plague.
The other, the Mr. Robert Hack, regardless of the motives of his honesty, is annoyed by his neighbor’s improper “political deeds”, but forcibly forgets the senseless genocide from the gun of his Hesse neighbors to 96,000 creatures, which will go into the criminal history of hunters.
After all the crap that we read in the press every day, we come to the conclusion that even a pig pest proves to be an unfit competitor to the politician pest.

SAV Comment:
A beautiful story from Harmony Fund. We got this story because we give money each month to Harmony – they help animals and people caring for them all over the world.
Please try to support Harmony with a monthly donation – your money will help animals welfare work the world over.
We love sharing good-news updates on how your donations are transforming lives, and today you’ve saved not only several dogs in Romania, but also the woman who cares for them.
In our last newsletter, we told you the story of this sweet Romanian woman named Mandache who became homeless a few years ago when the government took her home through eminent domain for industrial expansion.
Rather than wallow in her own suffering, Mandache summoned all her strength each day to find food for dogs who were also homeless. She would go through town, scavenging for scraps for the animals, despite her own declining health and battle with cancer.
Mandache asked us for help with adopting one particularly gentle dog whom she thought might be harmed by other street dogs when she left for a few days for the allotment of government funded cancer treatment.
Since that time, several of our supporters asked how they could help Mandache and we were able to find a small place for her to live. It’s a kitchen with a little bed to sleep on and a bathroom area. There is running water and heat and It is safe from bad weather and the dangers of the street. She can properly rest and heal in this space. But what has happened since Mandache moved in is nothing short of amazing.
Every morning, Mandache leaves her kitchen early to begin her rounds of street feeding. She has no intention of surrendering her mission to help street dogs, and it is an honor to help her. We’ve already rescued several of the dogs she was feeding and they’ve received full veterinary care and are up for adoption. When we showed Mandache photos of some of the dogs happily settled in at their new homes, she cried with joy and kissed each photo.
In this line of work, we often come upon people like Mandache who devote every ounce of their being to helping others. It is a true privilege to help her to continue in this work. The rent for her room is only $65 a month. Our own Debbie Evans sent her a wonderful gift of essential living supplies and we are providing food and medicines for the dogs on an ongoing basis and continuing a rolling rescue program there.

More than 53 million wild birds are hunted down legal by hobby hunters every year in the European Union, including numerous species that are critically endangered in Germany. This is the result of a study * presented by the Committee Against Bird Slaughter and the German Council for the Protection of Birds, in which official hunting statistics from a total of 24 EU countries plus Switzerland and Norway were evaluated.
Most of the statistics come from the hunting season 2014/15 and together they indicate a kill of at least 53 million birds per year. In addition, an unknown number of animals are killed each year in countries without evaluable data (Greece, the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom) and outside the study area in the Mediterranean or in Africa.
The authors emphasize, that a large proportion of the animals shot down are migratory birds that are in acute danger of extinction in some Member States. In Germany, for example, strictly protected lapwings, snipe-birds, turtledoves or skylarks are shot down to hundreds of thousands in France and southern Europe on their train to winter quarters in autumn. Every year, German and British hunters kill thousands of woodcock and Arctic geese from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
The long-term effect of such massive hunting is rated as devastating by the authors. In the years 1980 to 2013, at least 100 million lovebirds in the EU were legally killed by amateur hunters. During the same period, the European stock of turtle dove has decreased by 78%. In Germany, the species is on the Red List and is classified there as “highly endangered”.
“The results are alarming and they prove that hunting for certain species endangers or even completely destroys conservation efforts in other countries,” says Heinz Schwarze, chairman of the committee. The committee against bird murder and the German Council for Bird Protection (DRV) therefore demand from the European Commission to finally enforce Europe-wide hunting bans on endangered species.
My comment:who shoots migratory birds, wild birds, birds at all, and even when they fly home?
Only the insane killers, the hunters, who are favorably supported by the EU legislation.
But according to this article, the legitimate question arises: if we pay this crime syndicate to support the legal murder of migratory birds and wild birds, then we are really to blame ourselves.

Police confiscated 50 young crocodiles at Heathrow Airport
London 4 May 2018
Trapped in transport boxes that are far too small, the police have discovered a total of 50 approximately one-year-old crocodiles at London Heathrow Airport, according to the Magazine “der Spiegel”. Accordingly, ten reptiles each were transported in a container that was designed for only four small animals.
Grant Miller, head of Cites Security Monitoring Unit Cites at Heathrow Airport, told to “der Spiegel”: “It’s just unacceptable for reptiles to be transported that way.”
The year-old reptiles, which arrived on a flight from Malaysia, had fought each other during the journey due to their cramped circumstances.
Each of the five transportation boxes used had room for four crocodiles – but 10-foot-long animals were in each one.
One crocodile has since died.
Originally, according to the report, the reptiles were to be delivered to a breeding farm in Cambridge shire in eastern England were to be bred for meat – but now they are looking for a new home for them and being cared by officials from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
Speaking to “Der Spiegel”, Miller continued, “The police action is meant to be a warning to those who want to expose wildlife to such conditions.”
I thought about it a bit:
From crocodiles we still make bags, so brainless people compensate their inner ugliness with external exoticism.
Crocodiles are still kept in the zoo too. There, the animals stew in the sun, lurking in pools of green water while stupid visitors take photos with the inmates of the Zoo Guantanamo’s.
And every frustrated man, who confirmed his potency with the paid murder of safari animals always had a embalmed crocodile as a rug in his apartment.
Today, the modern corpse eaters, the gourmets with exotic desires want crocodiles on their table and belly.
So these otherwise highly sensitive and intelligent animals end up on a farm, where they are treated as breeding objects for the rest of their lives and brutally slaughtered for leather industry gastronomy after about fifteen months.
From a random irony I saw today on the TV station “NAT GEO WILD” a documentary about crocodiles: “In 200 million years of evolutionary history crocodiles have become perfect killers.”
I am quickly researching to find out, which are these perfect „killers “. And become resourceful:
Every year about 1,000 people are killed by crocodiles.
The number does not correspond to a dangerous “killer”!
And how many crocodiles are massacred by perfect “killer human”?
Every year, 30,000 crocodiles are brutally killed alone for handbags!
More than 1.2 million crocodiles are bred in Thailand. In huge breeding and slaughterhouses, the reptiles are processed in bulk to leather and meat.
The precious skin is peeled off, the innards cut out, the meat packaged.
That makes the most money. That is a perfect “killer”, dear NAT GEO!
In German portals for gastronomy I find even expensive offers of “professional killer” for crocodile meat victims:
Crocodile Neck Steaks: 49.96 € / kg
Crocodile Eye-fillet (1 kg) 51.95 € / kg
End of the story: “Indeed man is the king of beasts, because his cruelty surpasses theirs. We live on the death of others. We are walking tombs! “(Leonardo da Vinci)

The great thing about AAU videos is that they always start really badly, with suffering animals – but they always finish with those same saved animals looking so great and enjoying life. Enjoy these stories from AAU.
10 amazing animal rescues!
Oh, to see them in terror, confusion, exhausted from trying to climb out, pull away from the bars, escape the plastic, swim up the walls…these rescues from nearly-fatal situations will fill your heart with unforgettable relief. What would have happened if we HADN’T come to their rescue? The 10 animals you’re about to meet make it crystal clear. If we hadn’t come, these angels would have died where they were. But because of your love and generous help, we saved them.
Adrenalin alone must have helped her make it to the field next to the highway where she had been hit by a car. Our ambulance rushed her back to Animal Aid where we brought her in to surgery to try to save her leg. Our surgeon discovered that even though four major muscle groups were torn apart, no major artery or vein had been cut. This was a miracle because otherwise she would surely have bled to death before our rescue team even reached her. Hold on to your heart with this one because Selene’s injury is hard to see. But even though you KNOW she’ll be happy in the end, you’ve just got to see this for yourself.
Behind her surgery and recovery is your loving support. Donate today.
