Request to BBC and Vice to make a documentary on the Cat Torture groups

They both have amazing reach and can bring more awareness/put pressure on the Chinese govt or by extension, get others involved.

If you could please take the time to email them both, maybe it can help in some way.

panorama.reply@bbc.co.uk

ukeditorialpitches@vice.com

The more of us that email them, the better.

Animal welfare or Animal liberation

I gotta bring this up because it seems like the elephant in the room. Why are we trying to negotiate?

I mean if we were talking to a child mxlestion ring - should we allow them to “take better care” of the victims they are exploiting? Would that be acceptable?

Here is the major problem with this.. the circumstances of “getting better” will make slight change in the moment (which that itself is a difficult statement - seeing as almost none of the farms and slaughterhouses have any integrity with the “laws”)

Imagine if they convinced people they are putting them to sleep and the animals are not in pain - it’s hard enough now for people to except the truth, the little changes that can sway the public, can lead to long term suffering. People can then say, well why would I change they are treated better and they don’t suffer in the slaughterhouse.

In short the closer we get to animal welfare - the further we get from animal liberation.

I don’t care if the cage is bigger.. it’s a cage, and rather it is or not, the mother pig still watches the brutal mutilation of her babies from it.

We are coming to a point where negotiations are not and option. When we have innocent victims being tortured how long would the swat team negotiate before acting to save them. It’s about the victims here - what would the mother pig want? A bigger cage or freedom?

One more gratuitous example - If a human mothers child was kidnapped, and the ones who could save him say “well we made a deal with those sick fxcks, they assured us that they will take better care of him.” Is that something to try and attain? Is that something we should celebrate?

None of these “rights” can ever make what we are doing right, Bring them home

Head of Ohio Right to Life lobbies for puppy mills, Petland pet store chain

Thank you to Daily KOS for exposing this! Petland is the last major pet store chain that sells puppies, and of course most of them come from puppy mills. Their chief lobbyist is....

This "pro-life" Republican fights to legalize puppy murder across the country. Seriously. (dailykos.com)

Penn student developing alternative to horseshoe crab blood in pharmaceutical testing

Quick background, 700,000 horseshoe crabs are pulled from the ocean each year, drained of up to 1/3 of their blood, and then dropped back into the water. Up to 30% die from the blood loss. Others fail to reproduce, cutting into their numbers. This has led to a 75% reduction in Red Knot shorebirds who eat horseshoe crabs on the beach during their summer migration.

The horseshoe crab blood is blue, as it contains copper rather than iron. The blood is used to detect endotoxins in medicines, etc. Eli Lily has developed a synthetic horseshoe crab blood, and now this student has come up with a plant based alternative as well.

This is why animal advocates should get good educations. You can do amazing things if you focus on one thing and really work at it.

Penn student has plan to halt bloodletting of horseshoe crabs for vaccine production - WHYY

(Volunteer needed!) Looking for a teacher to help with curriculum connections and using Teachers Pay Teachers

Ethical Seafood Research needs help! If you're interested in taking on this job, please apply to help with your resume, website, or linkedin, your email, and a little bit about you - thanks for your activism!

Looking for a teacher to help with curriculum connections and using Teachers Pay Teachers

Website: https://ethicalseafoodresearch.com/

Compensation: This is a volunteer role, please help the animals!

Description: We are seeking someone with experience/credentials in education to find and write curriculum connections for our educational activity book and to help set up and post some of the activities on Teachers Pay Teachers or a similar forum.

A little about the book:

"Understanding Our Underwater Cousins: An Activity Book to Help Aquatic Animals" educates consumers about how their actions affect aquatic animals using a novel, entertaining format: an activity book. The book combines beautiful, colourable illustrations and challenging puzzles to engage readers as they learn about the greatest threat to aquatic animals: us. To further empower readers, I have meticulously researched and referenced the facts presented in the book, and provided definitions for common industry words and practices in the glossary. The book's activities are varied, challenging (but not too hard!) and will leave readers with a greater understanding of the uniqueness of aquatic life, how our systems exploit them, and the consequences of those actions. Not only will this book influence readers to change their diet, it will encourage them to see aquatic animals as beings worthy of care and consideration."

Is it ok if somebody humanly kills an animal?

There is an animal that is being actively abused and neglected severely since it was born. My co worker wants to know if it is ok to end the animals life to save it from being abused? She has exhausted all outlets to get someone to help the animal. The problem is, because of the abuse and lack of bond with people the animal is vicious and bites every person that try’s to help it. So all of the shelters and other places outlets where they live won’t take the animal. And if we got it there they would have to put the animal to sleep anyways because he is dangerous. This poor animal is so sad. You can see it in his eyes. When I’ve seen him it made me cry so much, he is so broken and I just cannot stand knowing he is being treated this way. He’s being kept in a cage that’s too small 24 hours a day, everyday and starved for days at a time regularly. He wants connection and love but he’s so messed up from living this way his whole life that he bites anybody that goes near him. He is a 80-100 pound Rottweiler. And he is dangerous and has already bit 3 people. I don’t know how to help this animal because we have tried reaching out to ALL of the places in our city/state. We’ve called the police. We’ve done all of this several times over the last year. Nobody is helping. But this animal should not have to continue to suffer because the people of this world have failed him so severely.

Edit: I am in the United States, in Oregon.

Inhumane Conditions

I was recently driving through Texas and passed by a truly saddening sight. It was in Wildorado, Texas and the company is “Quality Beef Producers”.

There were so many small panel sections of cattle stuffed together. I mean it was probably 500 sq ft of space and 6-8 cows. The smell was atrocious driving by. Has anyone seen or done anything about this place? I’ve reported them to several places but haven’t heard back from anyone. If you google the company there are a lot of terrible reviews and pictures just from people driving by!
