Hedgehogs have been on the red list and critically endangered for a long time here in the UK due to climate change and habitat loss. It's sad because they were so common when I was a kid.

What? Hedgehogs in the UK have been diminishing coz of climate change? On what evidence? I get the polar bear argument but having lived in the UK all my life, is the weather any different from what it was 40 years ago?🤷🏻‍♂️

Yet another whale has died at a marine park. This time a beluga whale (the fifth) at Canada's Marineland theme park. How many more poor whales and dolphins have to die in these hell holes before something is done. Whales and dolphins belong in the wild and not in a bloody marine park to be exploited.

100% agree👏 it’s heartbreaking. That film about the killer whale in captivity was one of the saddest films I’ve ever seen. Scrap all zoo’s/marinas. And make it illegal to keep birds. Disgusting keeping them in cages😔

Yeah, I'm afraid it's true about hedgehogs but I think that it's mainly due to habitat loss more than anything. But climate change does play a major roll to why we.re losing so much of our wildlife.

I've seen the films Blackfish, Long Gone Wild and Inside the tanks which are just heartbreaking. And, I hate zoos etc  especially road side zoos they're just disgusting.

Yeah “blackfish” that’s the one😞 I’m always on the animals side when it comes to deaths against humans (in a zoo/marina etc). Sounds harsh but I struggle for any sympathy for the victims. They say they love the animals but by working with them they are just contributing to their misery

It's high time that Japan, Iceland, Norway (and any other country that still have it) banned whaling once and for all. It's a cruel and disgusting practice and has no place in this day and age.

As much as I hate zoos, Czechian zoo has condemned Slovakia's bear hunting rules.
