Lewis Bollard@Lewis_Bollard·
You've heard about the provision to keep pigs in gestation crates hidden in the farm bill. Turns out there's another anti-animal provision buried in there too. Section 3201(d) would repeal a 30-year-old law barring federal tax dollars from funding mink fur industry marketing. Mink are wild, solitary animals. On fur factory farms, they're crammed into cages where they routinely attack each other. Americans don't want factory-farmed fur. So the farm bill would use our tax dollars to subsidize marketing mink fur to wealthy consumers abroad — primarily in China. Politicians know animal welfare is more popular than this kind of corporate welfare. So they buried this in the farm bill's trade section — in a line that doesn't even mention 'fur.' This isn't a farm bill anymore. It's a factory farm bill. There's still time to tell your senators and representatives to stop it. Photo credit: Jo-Anne McArthur, WeAnimals.

Grateful to be a part of an exceptional evening to celebrate the impact "A River Runs Through It" and Tom Skerritt have had on river conservation.

Four critically endangered hammerheads have washed up on Florida beaches in two weeks. These animals are not just dropping dead. They are being killed. It’s time for Floridians to rise up and end this carnage. links below

3,800 JBS employees are participating in this massive strike, derailing operations at their current facilities. These greedy, soulless execs have been pushing their workers to the brink, paying them dirt poor wages and increasing line speeds and injuries. #GoVegan!

"There is a dog inside this building who was marked for death on the day of her birth. She will never go outside, play with toys, or get hugs from her family. She will never even have a name, just a serial code burned into her ear. She will never know the love that every pup deserves. I’m leaving these symbols at Ridglan Farms in the hope that we can work together to rescue that dog. She’s hurt. And she needs our help." The rescuers on March 15 left these stuffed animals and flowers at the doorstep of Ridglan Farms. They represented our promise: We are coming back to rescue you all.

The current DHS map shows a border wall ripping through this exact stretch of river in Big Bend Ranch State Park. They’ve awarded a $1.2 billion dollar construction contract. They’ve waived every single environmental law to rush the project. We could lose this river forever.

We need every last person who loves dogs to fight this corruption by joining us on April 19. We have nearly 1500 people signed up already. We need you next. It could be the difference between life and death for a dog in a cage. savethedogs.io

A series of glaring legal errors led authorities to conclude Ridglan was exempt from animal cruelty laws. But underlying all of this was a darker truth: there were two standards of law being applied, one for the powerful, and one for all the rest. blog.simpleheart.org/p/the-authorit…

In 2024, a federal prosecutor drafted a complaint with a bombshell allegation: Ridglan was performing illegal surgeries on dog without bothering with anesthesia. This was proven 100% true. But instead of protecting the pups, the authorities covered it up. Here's why.

This was her first time outside. Her first time feeling something soft. Her first time seeing the sun. And her first time being held and hugged and loved. This is what every dog at Ridglan deserves. We gave this to 22 desperate pups. Now we're going back for the rest.

NC brothers Jerry and Steve Carroll were losing money on their hog farm, so they pivoted to cultivating and selling culinary and medicinal mushrooms at farmer’s markets, through produce box deliveries and foodservice providers. Their business is currently thriving!🍄🌱 #GoVegan

The official vote is in from W Pacific Fishery Council. Every single Pacific National Monument will be opened to commercial fishing. Longlines in Papahānaumokuākea. All fishing gear in Rose Atoll. The entire Marianas Trench reserve gone. ~80% of US protected waters abolished.
