<div>The Story Behind Lupita
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Wednesday, 24 June 2026, a truly heartbreaking incident unfolded live on BBC Breakfast. While the show was broadcasting from Richmond Riverside, a loose dog jumped from a kayak, chasing and brutally mauling a beloved local feral duck named Lupita. The shocking footage went viral, leaving thousands of viewers deeply concerned for her survival. Thanks to the swift actions of local heroes—including Vivi  (@veevs), Mark Edwards MBE, and James (@lsupco)—Lupita was successfully pulled from the river and rushed to a specialist veterinarian. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her Current Condition : X-rays have revealed that Lupita is suffering from a broken pelvis and severe leg trauma. Feral ducks are incredibly sensitive, and the risk of delayed shock from such a violent attack is high. Lupita is currently resting and recovering in a quiet, safe, and stress-free environment at the home of Ann, a dedicated independent bird rescuer. Ann is providing around-the-clock specialized care, administering vital pain relief, monitoring her food intake, and helping her slowly rebuild her strength and trust.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We Need Your Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Independent wildlife rehabilitators like Ann do incredible work completely out of their own pockets and homes. They do not receive government funding or the large-scale donations that major charities do.Every single penny raised through this campaign will go directly toward supporting Lupita’s ongoing journey to recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will fund:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Veterinary Bills: the cost of her initial emergency assessments and specialist X-rays were paid for by Vivi (@veevs) and Dani (@danipics22) with no refund needed - but Lupita will need follow-up medical check-ups and x-Rays.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Medication:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Essential pain relief and anti-inflammatory treatments to keep her comfortable while her pelvis naturally fractures mend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Specialist Nutrition &amp; Care Equipment:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>High-quality waterfowl feed and clean rehabilitation supplies tailored to her recovery needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>Spread awareness: Please remind pet owners to keep their dogs on leads near our beautiful riverside wildlife.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would like to thank several of our Richmond friends who have generously  donated to help with Lupita's care and Miyo (@miyopaints) who has made a beautiful painting of the 3 Amigos (Lupita, Blondie and Pancho) and is selling prints of the painting and profits are being donated to Lupita's care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and community spirit. Let's help Lupita get back on her feet!
