An opinion piece published yesterday in the #BillingsGazette explores #CodyRoberts ' #torture of a young female #wolf in Daniel, #Wyoming. By now, most of you have heard the news or seen the disturbing photos and videos. We remain disgusted by the #cruelty, as does our partner and op-ed author #JeffEwelt.
In his op-ed, Jeff Ewelt, the Executive Director of #ZooMontana and a partner of The #RelistWolves Campaign,
#CodyRoberts must be charged for animal cruelty not only for #justice to be served, but for the precedent that this incident will set.
Urge the Director to support legislative action to ban "wolf/coyote whacking," which is the practice of using #snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles to chase down and kill #wolves and #coyotes.
It has never been clearer -- or more urgent -- that wolves need their #EndangeredSpeciesAct protections restored in #Wyoming, #Idaho and #Montana. It's the single best way that we can end these unconscionable #WolfHunts.
TELL PALMA, SPAIN THAT BULLFIGHTING IS CRUELTY — NOT CULTURE
In a merciless move, the city of #Palma, #Spain, has declared itself a bullfighting-friendly city with a claimed “obligation” to promote the intentional torture of sentient bulls.
The city had made a compassionate change in 2015 to not champion the gruesome #bullfighting events, in which #bulls are harassed, speared repeatedly, and left to wallow in their own gushing blood before cheering crowds.
Sign our petition urging the #Palma City Council to reverse this ill-fated decision and for the Balearic Government to do everything in its power to recognize and restrict the cruelty inherent in #bullfighting.
The devastating toll of #wildlife deaths in #California. The author of this ecology report asks Californians to “drive much less, more slowly, and not at night." WARNING: Graphic photos of animals killed by vehicles.
Imagine living your entire life in your living room, the vast world outside becoming an alien concept. For #dolphins in #MarineParks, this analogy becomes a harsh reality. Confined within the limited dimensions of an artificial enclosure, these sentient creatures endure a daily assault of bright lights and booming noises, while their instinctive urge to explore and socialize is constantly thwarted.
PLEDGE TO NEVER SET FOOT IN DOLPHIN MARINE PARKS 🐬
Instead, choose to experience these magnificent creatures in their true domain – wild, free, and unconfined. Your commitment could ripple across the world, becoming a powerful wave of change.
It is with a heavy heart that I write to you on the first red cove day of 2023, a day that witnessed the ruthless #hunting and #slaughter of ~10 innocent Risso's #dolphins in #Taiji. The dolphins fought hard to escape but after a 2 hour chase, the entire #pod was forced into the cove and brutally killed.
Our team is not just standing by. At the end of August we submitted an appeal
SIGN: REMOVE HORRIFIC BABY MONKEY TORTURE GROUPS FROM TELEGRAM
By Emily Raap
This is a joint campaign by Lady Freethinker and Action for Primates.
Videos showing extreme cruelty to baby monkeys are spreading rapidly on social media – especially Telegram, a popular encrypted messaging service.
In 2021, Lady Freethinker published a report in partnership with Action for Primates on one of the first big private monkey hater groups on Telegram – Milliontears.
Since then, countless other groups have formed on #Telegram to buy, sell, and share videos of horrifically gruesome acts of baby monkeys being tortured in unspeakable ways.
Telegram recently told BBC News that it was “committed to protecting user privacy and human rights such as freedom of speech” and that moderators “cannot proactively patrol private groups.”
Did you know that one female dog and her offspring can produce a staggering 67,000 #puppies in just six years?
On average a female dog can have two litters a year with 6-10 puppies. 67,000 figure is based on all puppies surviving to adulthood. (numbers via #SoiDogFoundation, correct as of 30 June 2023)
STOP CRUEL, DANGEROUS TRANSPORT IN SUMATRA’S DOG MEAT TRADE
A new Lady Freethinker (#LFT) investigation into the Sumatran #DogMeatTrade has documented apparently sick and emaciated #dogs with scars being transported 17 hours for #slaughter, getting yanked off a truck with a long snare pole, and then being shoved into burlap sacks that were tied shut.
Sign the petition today urging officials in #Indonesia to investigate all dog transport activity and shut down all illegal operations immediately to help save dogs’ lives and to protect public health.
Every year, hundreds of #greyhounds in #WestVirginia suffer from painful broken bones, dislocations, and muscle injuries as they are forced to race for people’s “ #entertainment .”
The state’s two tracks are the only places left in the country where the cruel #racing is allowed — and 666 greyhounds paid for it in 2021 alone,
The fight against the #dog and #CatMeat trade has a profound effect on all of us, most of all the millions of dogs and cats who are stolen and killed every year in #Asia.
No other organisation has ever been able to achieve anything of this magnitude, and we are delighted that Soi Dog Foundation have been chosen by the Vietnamese government to collaborate on how to tackle ending the trade.
This is the beginning of the end of the barbaric and cruel consumption of dog and cats in Vietnam. 🇻🇳
#Monkeys are being sadistically tortured and violently killed on camera in #Malaysia so the gruesome footage can be distributed online in “monkey torture groups.”
The footage includes some of the most horrifying #abuse that has been seen on private platforms. It’s also been posted on social media platforms, such as #Facebook.
The monkeys being abused are long-tailed #macaques who are captured from the wild.
Sign the petition urging the Attorney General of Malaysia to reassess this horrifically violent case and take appropriate action for the individual(s) involved. If people are not punished for such appallingly cruelty, the abuse will not stop so it’s critical officials take immediate action.
Shelter animals are NOT dying b/c there are too many or too few homes or people don’t want these animals. They are dying b/c people in “shelters” are killing them. Replace those people, implement the No Kill Equation & we can be a No Kill nation today.
