Animals in Need

Whether lost, sick or in danger of disappearing completely from our planet, animals face many challenges.
Fortunately, there are organisations that are here to help. Here are three of them!

A WOOD GREEN – T HE ANIMALS CHARIT Y

T his centre has a mission to provide shelter and care for animals that are unwanted or lost.

Louisa Snow opened the first centre in 1924 in North London. She was worried about the number of pet animals which
were left on the streets of London after the First World War.

In 1933, Dr Margaret Young joined the charity and started to try to find homes for the animals that were rescued.
After several years, the London centre had too many animals so they bought a small pig farm in Hertfordshire so that
the animals had somewhere to stay.

T oday, the centre has more than one location and looks after other animals including rabbits, guinea pigs and farm
animals.

B YORK ANIMAL HOSPIT AL

In 1992, Dr Kaye Morgan, a vet and dog owner herself, started York Animal Hospital. T oday it is well known for giving
high quality care for people’s pets. As well as looking after and treating sick animals, the hospital also has dentists to
look after the animals’ teeth. T he charge for this is quite small, compared to what people have to pay when they visit
their dentist.

Even if your pet is not sick, you can bring it in for a wellness check-up. T his is where the York Animal Hospital doctors
give your pet a complete examination, looking at its eyes, ears, teeth and even its heart.

Another service they offer is to give advice about animals’ diet and behaviour. According to their website, ‘behaviour
problems are the number one reason that owners give up a pet’.
 C ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIET Y OF SCOT LAND (RZSS)

T he Scottish lawyer T homas Gillespie started the RZSS in 1909. He wanted to protect animals that are in danger and
to educate the public about these species. RZSS operates both Edinburgh Zoo and the Highland Wildlife Park – a
place which is home to over 200 animals, from local Scottish species to rare and endangered animals from other
parts of the world.

T he RZSS education programme for schools has taught over one million pupils from nursery school to secondary
school. As well as the tours of the zoo and park, there are many courses for students from how to touch and hold
animals to how to photograph and paint animals.

One of the most popular animals that the RZSS works with is the panda. RZSS Edinburgh Zoo has the only giant
pandas in the UK, a female called T ian T ian (Sweetie) and a male called Yang Guang (Sunshine). T hey are kept in
identical, but separate accommodation because giant pandas are animals that prefer to be alone. T he RZSS has
teamed up with other organisations to carry out research that will hopefully help the giant panda survive.
