<p>A boy aged 11 was recovering today after a sea lion mauled him at a popular Sydney zoo&#8217;s aquarium show as horrified visitors looked on.</p>
<p>Jack Lister had been invited by zookeepers to meet the eight-year-old female sea lion during the Taronga Zoo&#8217;s seal and sea lion show on Friday.</p>
<p>After feeding the animal, Jack mistakenly followed it off the stage, which frightened it, zoo officials said.</p>
<p>The sea lion bit the boy and left several puncture wounds on his stomach. Jack had abdominal surgery Friday night and was in stable condition in hospital.</p>

<p>Animal welfare groups are accusing Britain&#8217;s Prince Harry of animal cruelty after he continued to play in a polo game after his horse was allegedly wounded by spikes on the royal&#8217;s riding spurs.</p>
<p>Photos from a July polo match in England show the 25-year-old prince atop a horse bleeding on its side. The game&#8217;s rules state that any player who uses his spurs excessively can face penalties that range from a warning to a more than $75,000 fine. Competitors are also supposed to take themselves out of the game immediately if they notice that their horse is injured&#8230;</p>

<p>A Malaysian wildlife trafficker has pleaded guilty to smuggling 95 endangered boa constrictors and could face up to seven years in jail, officials said Friday.</p>
<p>Anson Wong, 52, nicknamed the &#8220;Lizard King&#8221; and described as one of the world&#8217;s most-wanted smugglers of wild animals, was arrested at the airport last week after he tried to smuggle the live snakes to neighbouring Indonesia.</p>
<p>The Wildlife and National Parks Department has said Wong was arrested after his luggage broke while on the conveyor belt, and airline staff later found snakes and a turtle in his bag&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.rspca.org.uk" target="_blank">RSPCA</a> is to give one of its highest awards, the Lord Erskine Award, to Oxford theologian, the Reverend Professor Andrew Linzey at a special ceremony to be held at the RSPCA Headquarters in Horsham on Saturday 11th<br />
September 2010.</p>
<p>Professor Andrew Linzey is one of the world’s leading ethicists on the status of animals and the pre-eminent theologian on animal issues. He is the founder and the Director of the <a href="http://www.oxfordanimalethics.com" target="_blank">Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics</a> and a member of the Faculty of Theology in the University of Oxford. This is the first time that the award has been given to a theologian.</p>
<p>On hearing of the award, Professor Linzey said: “This is a tremendous affirmation of the work we have been doing at the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. I am happy to accept this award on behalf of all the fellows of the Centre who are pioneering ethical perspectives on animals.”<br />
Professor Linzey has written or edited more than 20 books including seminal works on animals: Animal Theology (1994), Animal Gospel (1999), Creatures of the Same God (2004), and The Link Between Animal Abuse and Human<br />
Violence (2009). His latest book, Why Animal Suffering Matters published by Oxford University Press in 2009 has been described as “a paradigmatic example of how practical ethics ought to be done”. (Christopher Libby, Journal for<br />
the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, 4.1. 2010).</p>
<p>Andrew Linzey is also Honorary Professor at the University of Winchester, and Special Professor at Saint Xavier University, Chicago. In addition, he is the first Henry Bergh Professor of Animal Ethics at the Graduate Theological Foundation, Indiana. The post is named after Henry Bergh, the founder of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and pioneer in animal protection.</p>
<p>The RSPCA’s award is named after Lord Erskine (1750–1823) who pioneered the first anti-cruelty legislation in the United Kingdom. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (as it then was) was founded a year after his death in 1824.</p>
