Good times.

Kelley Cousins at Dublin Zoo writes:
“in a particularly large unveiling ceremony at the Kaziranga Forest Trail, Dublin Zoo welcomed one of the most highly anticipated arrivals in many years – Upali an Asian bull elephant. Upali arrived from Chester Zoo at midnight on Thursday July 5.
Upali is now the largest animal at Dublin Zoo. He is 17 years old, measures 3 metres tall and weighs over 6,000kgs, equivalent to the weight of ten Friesian cows.
Upali’s arrival is a momentous development for both the Zoo and the international breeding programme as he joins three breeding females – sisters Bernhardine and Yasmin, and Yasmin’s calf Anak.
It is expected that the elephants will mate soon and double the size of the Dublin Zoo herd over the coming years.”

Three weeks ago she was found covered in cement, blind in one eye and painfully bewildered.
And today?
From Dublin SPCA:
Just a little update on Faith the kitten that came in covered in cement and fly strike [fly eggs had hatched underneath an infected eye]. Faith is now with one of our fantastic foster people Dave (above) and is doing really well.

Justice Minister Alan Shatter said the Garda Commissioner is to meet with the promoters of Saturday night’s concert where nine people were stabbed. Mr Shatter said what happened at the concert in the Phoenix Park was “very unusual”. He said the Garda Commissioner was looking into the events that occurred. “I think there are issues for the promoter of this event to clarify,” he said.

“We didn’t see anything but have asked for all the info and are respectful of the promoter’s need to wait and give us all the clear facts. When we know more we will liaise with the Festival promoter directly on what we can do to help but for now we have to respect their request to us that we remain quiet and respectful of their event safety processes. The festival itself was amazing and we had no idea this had happened and neither did the other numerous artists who played. Once we know all the facts we will deal with it in the best way we can.” Swedish House Mafia
