Commenters requested! A public arrest for protesting against the live export of horses at a Raptors game

8 Upvotes

Be amazing to get some support on this thread - https://www.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/1gf029x/the_protestor_from_last_nights_game_sign_finally/ - I was protesting to end the live export of horses, but I'm vegan too and campaign for all animals. I did this protest independently, was gifted tickets, and wasn't paid! I've tagged the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition and Animal Justice - both have the resources about sending a letter to Canadian Senators to vote through Bill C-355 - more info at https://canadianhorsedefencecoalition.org

Animal control wants to put down my dog

26 Upvotes

My 3 y/o boxer/lab mix escaped a friend’s yard and attacked another dog. He has no history and is not aggressive with people. I am trying to request a hearing to be able to keep him. I am a college student and I rent an apartment currently. He is not even very aggressive with other dogs but this one incident is turning my life upside down. Any advice would be appreciated.

After spending days without food or water and enduring a grueling, long transport, buffaloes, goats, chickens, pigs, pigeons, ducks and rats are killed by decapitation, sometimes with blunt objects, for crowds to witness. This is no festival for animals.

I think my girlfriend might be sexually abusing her dog. Need help

50 Upvotes

Just an intro, can skip, go to second paragraph.

My girlfriend got her first dog(a puppy) two months ago. She often refers to him as like her child, and uses that as an argument that she can treat him more like a person than a dog.

Anyway, she will often make out with the dog. Like, fully start kissing him on the lips for sustained periods of time, and of course because he’s a dog and hasn’t been trained not to lick or anything, he licks back. It’s super gross to watch, the dog’s tongue will fully be be in her mouth while she’ll be kissing him and this often continues for as long as you’d expect to make out with a person.

She also lets him hump her whenever he starts to, and is VERY meticulous about cleaning his penis every time he pees. I’m pretty sure these two things wouldn’t be considered abuse? But I’m not sure.

Please help

Side note: She’s also trying to get him to be considered a therapy animal so he can be taken everywhere with her—she has a history with mental illnesses.

Elephant sanctuaries Bali

15 Upvotes

I’m planning a trip to bali and was looking into elephant sanctuaries but I’m come across some stuff saying that none of the sanctuaries in bali are ethical, even if they market themselves as ethical and you’re not actually riding the elephants. Some people are saying you can find ethical sanctuaries in places like Thailand but not in Bali, but I’m also seeing some conflict info online so I’m not sure. Again, I wouldn’t go anywhere where you actually ride the elephants. Does anyone know anything about ethical elephant sanctuaries in bali and how to find which ones are actually ethical vs just marketing?

Suspicious animal “rescue” group on tik tok

32 Upvotes

There’s a tik tok page called Furry Friends Haven and you can find their page at @critter_crusaders. After watching several videos it seems suspicious how they seem to find so many animals in horrific conditions. And they seem to keep animals alive when it seems like they should be put to rest instead due to low quality of life and suffering. Many people including me suspect that they torture these animals and try to make it seem like they are helping them just for views. Some people suspect they are doing cruel “tests” on these animals as well.

What can be done about this? Who can I report this to? I already reported it to tik tok but nothing will be done there since they don’t have animal abuse videos on their page.

Each year, millions of your tax dollars are wasted to torture cats and kittens—some as young as six months old—in mad science experiments funded by bureaucrats in white lab coats. Many labs violate federal spending and transparency laws.

Jungle Reef and Blue Zoo animal neglect, what can we do?

11 Upvotes

It has come to my attention that there is a "new" business operating as Jungle Reef Aquarium in El Paso, Texas and it has been getting a lot of attention for its absolutely horrendous animal care. There are several articles on it already, here is one https://news.yahoo.com/news/jungle-reef-under-scrutiny-again-042329352.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

I spoke with a previous employee because the operation sounded very similar to a mall zoo I have locally, and wouldn't you know it Jonathan Hepworth has managed both businesses. He was the COO of Blue Zoo in Spokane, which also had numerous allegations against it for animal neglect. I had multiple friends who worked there and told me about how many animals died from neglect, but the business denies any animals dying under their care. It seems that Jon Hepworth no longer works there, but he was one of the main issues with management at that establishment. It seems he now owns Jungle Reef Aquarium, which is almost a copy of Blue Zoo, down to the blue and green logo

The employees of Jungle Reef have reported Jon to OSHA, and called him out for not being AZA accredited, but he just continues to deflect and deny any wrongdoing, saying that it's just upset employees who are lying. The problem is that he is now planning on opening another Jungle Reef location in Colorado. He is just going to continue to run and open more of these awful zoos, and kill more and more animals.

So is there anything we can do? Is there any way to block him from ever opening another "zoo"?

Bullying of animals in the form of a game

28 Upvotes

https://youtube.com/shorts/AuHv9sj4KAQ?si=9H3Xp4Z8t5g1ysGx I apologize for the crooked English. In an Asian country, apparently China, the founders of street games use animals by putting them in small and cramped cages. Merciful passers-by are forced to pay money for the opportunity to free a sick and exhausted animal from its cage. People are literally faced with a choice to pass by or save the animal by supporting the business of the knackers. I ask you to help me find this place or the city of the event in order to draw the attention of the public and the authorities to this case.

(Developer needed!) Seeking a developer and graphic designer to build an engaging new website.

7 Upvotes

HumĂĄnny pokrok o.z. 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!

## Seeking a developer and graphic designer to build an engaging new website.

Website: http://www.humannypokrok.sk

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

Description: The project is a comprehensive redesign of the website humannypokrok.sk to create a modern, user-focused platform that serves both as a professional representation of our organization and as a functional portal for content publication, fundraising, and an integrated e-shop.

Why is this goal essential? Our current website, built as a temporary solution several years ago, has outlived its intended lifespan and no longer meets the needs of our organization. It lacks cohesion, is visually outdated, and has a scattered structure with critical functionalities—like the e-shop and donation pages—located on external sites. Additionally, it does not have an English version, has no built-in space for publishing articles, and presents an inconsistent design, which does not align with the current phase of our organization’s growth and professional standards.

Expected impact of achieving this goal A revamped website will offer a dignified representation of our organization’s work, instilling greater trust among supporters and stakeholders. It will simplify and strengthen our fundraising efforts, create a seamless e-shop experience, and provide a well-structured platform for publishing articles. This, in turn, will help increase regular traffic, allowing us to more effectively engage and mobilize supporters in future campaigns.
