ISPCA issues nationwide fostering appeal for 24 rescued ponies, donkeys and horses
ISPCA issues nationwide fostering appeal for 24 rescued ponies, donkeys and horsesThe ISPCA is appealing for urgent foster homes for 24 rescued ponies, donkeys, and horses, which are currently looking for their forever homes. On Tuesday, a recently rescued mare gave birth to a healthy filly foal in ISPCA care. The mare, named Emma after her rescuer, was admitted a few weeks ago after a call was made to the ISPCA’s National Animal Cruelty Helpline by a member of the public. Denise added: “Finding space is always a challenge as we have limited isolation units, making it difficult to cope with admitting new equines that need to be brought into our care. We are asking for public support to consider fostering one of our rescued ponies, horses, or donkeys.

Bluefin tuna were were once abundant in Irish waters, but overfishing and climate change have led to the population crashing. The giant Atlantic bluefin tuna normally visits Irish shores in the summer months, but marine heatwaves make conditions uncomfortable. “Understanding how climate change may alter the conditions the tuna encounter along their journey is really important,” she said. Scientists from Stanford University and the University of California assisted in the global exercise, as did the Irish Marine Institute and local anglers. “Atlantic bluefin are a hugely important species for lots of reasons, and it’s looking like they might move further north in the near future.

Colman Noctor: I have never heard so many young people complain of loneliness
However, given the post-pandemic changes in college life, I’ve hesitated to make these promises in recent years. However, the college campus has changed. Many hypotheses were presented at the conference about why this is happening, including the pandemic lockdowns, which significantly impacted college life. As soon as 5pm comes around, most are on public transport or in their cars returning to the family home, a daily struggle that hampers their engagement and campus life.
