At-Risk Animals

From the Animal Care Centers of New York City (NYC ACC)

The at-risk list is made up of animals that are at-risk of euthanasia if they are not placed or adopted. We publish the at-risk list (https://newhope.shelterbuddy.com/Animal/List) in the hopes that we can find a last-minute placement option for animals at risk of euthanasia. Animals that are put on ACC’s at-risk list should not stay in our facilities for a variety of reasons – they may have a behavior issue or medical condition we can’t adequately treat in the shelter environment, or they may have a contagious illness, putting others at risk of becoming ill as well.

Ethical Elephant Sanctuaries to Add to your Bucket List

Elephants have long been mistreated in captivity, and are an endangered species. In Southeast Asia, elephants were used for logging, transportation, and other dangerous work. Many of these elephants had been caught in the wild and “broken” – a vicious, brutal process in which an animal is “tamed,” sometimes involving beatings, fire, and other forms of torture. Elephants in countries like Myanmar are facing a crisis of epic proportions. The country has only 20 percent of its teak forests left, and a ban on timber was placed in April 2015 – leaving many ellies with nowhere to go and sitting ducks for poachers (Note, once an elephant has been broken, it can not be independent again). Meanwhile, in Africa, poaching has reached epic levels – leaving behind many infant and sub-adult elephants to be cared for.
