Two angels in uniform rescued a tiny pup while on patrol.
Officers Mercado and Tavera with the Los Angeles Police Department found a teeny, tiny pup on Hobart Boulevard.
Look at him in the pictures how sweet and small he is.
The furbaby was taken back to the station and was named Hobart after the street he was found on.
Apparently, Hobart doesn’t leave Officer Mercado’s side! Lol.
Thank you officers for rescuing this precious life!
The American travel and restaurant website company, TripAdvisor, Inc., announced that under their new policy, by the end of the year they will no longer sell tickets for entertainment venues that breed, import or capture captive marine mammals.
This means that tickets sales will be banned also for SeaWorld which has locations in Florida, Texas and California, Loro Parque in Spain and the Georgia Aquarium.
In 2016 TripAdvisor launched the company’s animal welfare policy which ended sales of tickets to attractions where travelers and captive wild animals have physical contact such as tiger petting and elephant riding.
Hopefully, this new and significant addition to the policy, will send a loud and clear message to other travel companies and will hopefully end this cruel industry.
Mr. Dermot Halpin, is the president of Experiences and Rentals at TripAdvisor, he said in a statement: “Our aim is not only to prevent future generations of whales and dolphins from being raised in captivity, but also to encourage the industry to move towards alternative models, like seaside sanctuaries, that will better provide for the needs of the current captive population."

It’s really hard not to fall in love with this baby!
Zoo keepers at the Taronga Zoo are delighted to announce the birth of a male Francois‘ Langur.
This orange-furred baby is not even two weeks old. He was born on September 26, to his mom Noel.
The fur will stay orange for only a few weeks, it will then turn dark like the mom’s as he gets older.
Isn’t this fascinating?
These stunning animals are only found in Vietnam and China, but they are threatened by poachers and loss of habitat from expanding development. (Always mankind destroying Nature).
The zoo estimates there are only about 3,000 of the species left in the wild.
"Seeing Francois' Langurs in the wild is incredibly rare, but seeing a baby is even more so," said senior zoo keeper Jane Marshall.
Welcome to the world baby and congratulations to mom Noel.
