Duck Release

ByJon

Early yesterday morning before the rest of the world was up we did a quick duck release. This handsome boy has been with us a few weeks and really couldn’t wait to see the back of us. We can never tell a wild animal why we are putting needles in them, tube feeding them, giving them foul tasting meds or have them in captivity.

We always, always aim to release animals back into the wild……..including that ‘little owl’ that we released quite a few weeks ago that insists on coming for his tea every night!!……go, will you!!!

    2009 was the second complete calendar year that Brinsley Animal Rescue existed and our first complete year as a charity. We have had many challenges, many low points and many successes which have helped us carry on with the thankless task of rescuing 600 animals each year.

A quick examination, they were extremely emaciated and weak. A thorough examination at the vets revealed an old injury…
