A bill proposed by Councilmember Harvey Epstein would outlaw the sale of sticky boards that doom furry critters to a slow, painful death. @THECITYNY brooklyneagle.com/374301/rat-ica…

In the heart of New York City, horses are still forced to pull heavy carriages through traffic, in freezing cold and extreme heat, surrounded by noise, exhaust and chaos. NYC voters agree: these sensitive, intelligent animals deserve to be freed from this outdated industry. Share if you agree and say NO to horse carriage rides!

🦆 A huge victory for animals today! The foie gras ban was democratically passed by @NYCCouncil in 2019 with strong public support, and this ruling confirms NYC’s right to enforce its own humane laws after years of industry challenges. A powerful reminder that activism and public pressure can make real change.

New York City can ban the sale of foie gras, a state intermediate appeals court ruled Thursday, reversing a lower court that said the city didn’t have the authority to implement the prohibition. news.bloomberglaw.com/new-york-brief…

You may hate the law, but the foie gras ban was democratically passed by the City Council in 2019 with strong public backing. And while some call it delicious, foie gras is made by force-feeding ducks and geese until their livers become severely enlarged, a process widely condemned as animal cruelty, if not torture. If this were done to dogs or cats it would be criminally prosecuted. How we treat animals at our mercy is the true measure of our character as a society.

@JCColtin @CityAndStateNY Ugh! I hate shit like this. Foie gras is delicious

New York City CAN ban foie gras, state appellate court rules, finding that the state can't block the city from passing a law just because it might hurt some farms upstate. NYC passed the ban in 2019(!). Caught up in courts ever since. And might still be.

@VegMediaWatch @BusinessInsider Thank you, @VegMediaWatch , for this important and much needed work. Headlines shape how millions of people understand research. Holding media outlets accountable when they misrepresent studies is absolutely essential.

After @VegMediaWatch called out @BusinessInsider for posting a headline that didn't reflect the study in its article, the standards editor sent us the following message, "We did change the headline to more fully capture the findings [of the study]." The difference between the original title and the revision is significant. Thank you @BusinessInsider for fixing the mistake.

You’re invited! 🐾 Kindly bring donations (towels, blankets, toys, etc.) to help support the animals! These items may go home with newly adopted pets or be used by @NYCACC after the adoption event.

Dolphin sighting here at Randall’s Island Park! #dolphins #dolphinwatching 🐬

@VegMediaWatch @MensHealthMag Please do better @MensHealthMag

In a story about "The Best Diet to Live to 100," @MensHealthMag attempts to "settle the debate once and for all.” #MensHealth - this article is biased. It uses a clickbait headline, a steak photo and inconclusive research to encourage animal consumption while failing to report on the robust data demonstrating the longevity benefits of a #plantbased diet. cc: @benhdc @ebenezersamuel
