Hey @BBCNews she didn’t die, she was murdered. It was femicide. Also, she was a university lecturer, a nurse & an associate head of nursing & midwifery. If she was an escort her job title would have been in the headline. Jfc I am so tired. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights

I’m not normally one to “pile on” but this is my mum’s dog Tila. She moved heaven & earth to rescue him from Iran. He’s been a five year untrainable, unruly, escape artist, hole digging, trouble making nightmare. He’s her boy. She’ll never give up on him. #KristiNoemIsAMonster

He came to me this morning. He NEVER comes in the morning. He’s been hurt by some degenerate’s fireworks. I can see the soot on his fur. He came for help. I’M RAGING🤬 If I knew who it was I’d burn them back. #WarOnWildlife 🦊💔.#BanFireworks 🚫

It’s my privilege to share with you the beautiful new cubs😍. Unfortunately a woman who lives close by barked at me about “getting rid of them”😤. I will spare no effort to protect them & their mum💪🏽. #AnimalsCount❤️ .#HappyEaster 🫶🏽.#NewLife 🦊

When people post photos of their late companion animals months or sometimes years after they’ve passed, it’s for a reason. They’re still hurting, still grieving & keeping their memory alive eases that. If you know you know, if you don’t know, hey, be nice anyway. #Grief 💔

@PolluxCastor365 She was unfamiliar with the car. But in that moment it doesn’t matter. She needed help. No explanation needed.

Teach your sons not to hit, punch or hurt women. If they do, don’t make excuses, turn a blind eye or fail to act. Familial enabling is much more common than you could possibly imagine. Their violence won’t go away. We are tired. #KyleClifford.#MaleViolence.#StopKillingWomen.

When Geoffrey was a baby he pulled up my new carpet, p*ssed in my handbag, caused us to re-route a holiday by 3 connecting flights & got me 3 points on my license for getting out of his harness & jumping on my lap while driving. I’d chop off my hand to have one more day with him.

I’m shaking. The worst case of cruelty I’ve seen in a LONG time. Sutton @sainsburys have deliberated netted in fledglings. They will have suffered an agonising death. It’s horrific. It’s carnage. It’s a crime. And I’m coming for you. #AnimalCruelty .#WildlifeCrime

I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just spoken with senior management at @sainsburys . They have terminated their contract with @RentokilUK & are doing daily checks of the car park netting. They will contact rescuers not pest control. I think we won guys😬🥹. #ForTheAnimals❤️

Of my 100’s of rescues she was my favourite. Critically ill when I scooped her up. I knew I couldn’t let her die. Named her Lily & sang to her the whole drive to hospital. Lily made a full recovery, returned her to her den & I still hear of her antics now #ForTheAnimals🦊💚

The worst thing that could’ve happened, happened. 18 years after the ban they’re still killing with impunity, without fear, without accountability. When will enough be enough?.
Chased for hours and killed today by the Devon and Somerset Staghounds. Shortly before he'd crashed into a fence in exhaustion and terror. He ran up and down the river trapped by hunt support and too tired to climb the steep valley sides. So sorry we couldn't stop them shooting

What I’ve learned about love this week is that it doesn’t come for free. There comes a day when you have to pay the piper. And I’ve paid in a thousand tears. #Grief 💔

A juvenile bird wandered into Streatham’s Tesco & couldn’t find his way out. Management:.-Refused entry to rescuers with nets. -Removed a safety trap put by female rescuer & shouted at her. -Called pest control & killed him. Is this acceptable behaviour @Tesco❓. #WarOnWildlife

Was feeding the #CrowCrew & a man shouted at me. Not just one shout but on & on about attracting rats & telling me off for feeding the birds. Tell me PLEASE, why do men feel so entitled to try to intimidate women when there’s no one around?. Boy did he yell at the wrong woman😂

When you get a call out you never know what you’re walking into. We’re just volunteers doing our best and we can’t save them all. If they’re slipping away we can only give them final moments of dignity, comfort & peace. I think that’s important too🫶🏽. #AnimalRescue 💔😞🦊

INCREDIBLE team effort of 6 people. Huge thanks to @atb88 for spotting, reporting & helping with the rescue!. Ladies & gentlemen, we have a happy ending🫶🏽. #AnimalRescue❤️
Quite a few people tagged me about a crow stuck in Tesco’s in Elmer’s End. I’m here now he’s VERY high. This is not an FB job they only do entangled animals. Waiting for pest control so I can make sure they release him not kill.

Surprise🎉. I’ve been keeping this a secret for over 5 months🙈. I didn’t want anyone to tell me I couldn’t rescue animals or stop me fighting for Animal Rights💪🏽. My values will never change & I hope I’ll be a ferocious mum it will be proud of one day❤️. #VeganBabyOnBoard 🤰🏽💚

I’m so sorry to tell you that Mr Burns has passed away. Since he first came to me I did everything I could to save him multiple times but in the end the constant injury was too much for his small body. Thank you to everyone that came on this journey with us. Goodnight laddo 💔🌈.
Mr Burns made a morning appearance🌤️. Those light patches you see are new fur regrowth 🦊. I have high hopes he’ll be ready to cope with the winter months☃️. His bounce back from multiple wounds shows us all that with inner resilience we can endure anything life throws at us 💪🏽❤️

My deepest gratitude to everyone who shared my horror & stood up to Sainsbury’s. I wish I could respond to all the posts. But I DO see you🙏🏽. The contractors @RentokilUK have committed wildlife crime. I’m in talks with Sainsbury’s about this. Local rescuers will do spot checks.

I’m not a fan of petitions but I signed this one because good grief no wonder people resent management when they send their salaried time on nonsense like this & make hard working people miserable in the process. What a bellend🙄.
So after 16 years, a new manager has decided the station cat must be evicted due to “infection control/allergy concerns” of which no complaints have been received. Please sign! He’s the sweetest and cheers up hardworking frontline staff no end #SaveDefib.

On the rare occasion one if the foxes makes a morning appearance I know it’s very likely there’s a problem. They trust me. He pitched up at very early perhaps asking for help. He’s obviously in pain. As always I will do my very best to help. #AnimalRescue 🦊🤞🏽
