Last night, I was literally glued to my laptop screen for over three hours watching a ping-pong match in Georgia between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker. By the time the race was finally called (the better candidate did win, in case any don’t know yet) at around 10:30, I was exhausted and my eyes felt like sandpaper, for I didn’t even blink much! So, long story short, today’s ‘good people’…
I’m in South Africa learning about the steps @vetpaw , @karmagawa , and @rhinorescueproject are taking to combat poachers. These Rhinos are being killed and pushed toward extinction for their horns which provide no medicinal value. The two Rhinos seen In the video were near a road that is actively used by poachers, and under the supervision of Vetpaw and the private game reserve, we used the drone try and push them to a safer area. While this shot turned out beautiful, under any other circumstances I should not have flown this close to the animals. Please visit
@vetpaw
for more information on how you can save these Rhinos. Music: M83 - Outro
Grupo que luta pela preservação de rinoceronte é outras espécies na África do Sul, a caça desses animais ainda é bem comum.... Queremos agradecer e reconhecer nossos veteranos dedicados por seu sacrifício de ficar longe de suas amadas famílias enquanto protegem rinocerontes em extinção na África do Sul. Por favor, ajude nossos veteranos a proteger a vida selvagem africana com uma doação. Mesmo $10 já ajudaria nesse longo caminho. (mas não há limite sobre o quão pouco ou o quanto você pode doar) para nos ajudar a proteger o rinoceronte e elefantes também. Ajude-nos a fazer o nosso mundo um lugar melhor. #Repost @vetpaw • • • • • This Thanksgiving Holiday we want to thank and acknowledge our dedicated veterans for their sacrifice - being away from their families and loved ones whilst protecting the innocent and endangered in South Africa is not easy. Please help our Veterans protect African wildlife with a donation. Even $10 would go a long way (but there is no limit on how little or how much you want to give) to helping us to protect rhino and elephant, whilst providing meaningful employment for US Veterans, allowing them to do the work we all wish we could do. Help us make our world a better place and say thanks!

#RhinoFriday #Repost from @vetpaw ・・・ No rain in sight..... Winters are extremely dry in South Africa. So supplement feeding with high protein grass is necessary to feed these guys and keep them healthy until the spring rains arrive. They face so many challenges. #VETPAW #veterans #rhino #whiterhino #crash #conservation #wildlife #poachers #rhino #counterpoaching #AntiPoaching #LoveYourWildLife #Outdoors #adventuretravel #adventures #WildographyandSafaris

This emerald mini pendant is available! It was already one of my more affordable pieces of jewelry, but I'll take an additional 30% off and throw in a free adjustable faux-leather necklace with the purchase -- BUT WAIT - it gets better; I'll donate 50% of the proceeds to @vetpaw. 🙂 Wrapped in .925 sterling & 24Kgf, darkened then polished again for contrast. It's a win-win-win. DM to claim this pendant as yours; thanks for looking! *** #vetpaw #wildlife #charity #emerald #wirewrapped #wirewrap #handmade #handmadejewelry #gems #gemstones #crystals #minerals #710 #biodiversity #terps #dabs #natural #nature #birthstones #beryl
Good People Doing Good Things – For Mother Earth (Redux)
Well, I had what I thought was a brilliant idea for this morning’s post. Since today is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, I thought to combine ‘good people’ with Earth Day … you know, good people doing good things for the planet on Earth Day? Sadly, it didn’t pan out, though, for it appears that in the shadow of coronavirus, the planet has been forgotten. 😔 Nobody seems to care at the moment,…
🙌🏽 Repost @vetpaw "There is a LIGHT in this world. A healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, and too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways." ~ Richard Attenborough All our Veterans are living proof of these words - we cannot express how proud we are of our team and their absolute dedication and commitment to protecting these amazing animals especially over this festive season. Thank you gentleman.

Sweet little doodle inspired by JBs recent Real Ones interview with the guys of VetPaw. Imagine season three of The Punisher: Frank gets recruited to hunt some poachers and falls in love with the wildlife in the process.
At VETPAW we are a team formed by veterans. We offer wildlife protection service in Africa, fighting against the injustice of animal hunters who are pushing to the edge the extinction of wildlife animals. We perform our job everyday aiming to raise awareness all around this community.
Everyday we work assisting animals such as elephants, rhinos and giraffes, who are constantly being harassed by poachers because of the value of their horns in the black market. Nowadays, an elephant is killed every fifteen minutes for their ivory and a rhino is taken down for its horns every eight hours. At that speed, we will be able to show future generations what these animals were like just by pictures.
Is due to this fact that VETPAW’s mission is to utilize the skills U.S. Veterans own to train anti-poaching wildlife rangers and support their communities. Our goal is to encourage the survival of critically threatened wildlife while serving the men and women who’ve served their country.
Little micro emerald pendant in sterling silver & 14K gold-filled up for grabs, $42 and half the proceeds will go to @vetpaw ☺️ Comes with an adjustable faux-leather necklace, shipped free. ✌️ *** #emerald #crystals #minerals #gems #handmade #710 #handmadejewelry #terps #dabs #gemstones #birthstones #heady #headstash #headyglass #headyart #nature #etsy #art #natural #charity #vetpaw #riojeweler
🌳🏗 Nature vs. Man 🏗🌳 I don’t want to make this a long one, as I hope the art piece speaks for itself with room for your own interpretation... I was inspired to create this for various reasons, global warming, deforestation, extinction, pollution etc. It can be overwhelming when you see and read up on such subjects, however you don’t have to dive into a whole new way of life if we simply just start by making more of a conscious decision to recycle, then you’re already contributing to help reduce the amount of rubbish we dump into landfills and the sea. My aim for this piece and post is not to lecture or preach, as I’m still learning and trying to change some of my habits, this is just my attempt to share my thoughts and feelings and bring some awareness even if it’s to just a handful. . Some of my favorite accounts I follow to help remind me why I try to be more aware of such issues are: @Earthlinged @therealtarzann @VetPaw . . . . #Nature #Art #IndianMiniature #Gold #Elephant #Tiger #Horse https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsfWHThpn6/?igshid=bfcmt4gq05qs
