Over the past 10 years, close to 2,000 piglets have been exposed to toxic nerve agents, radiation and severe trauma—then killed during military medical training by the Department of National Defence (DND). Although the DND claims these young pigs are anesthetized in training, the military’s own ...

Love This One 💖🐾
They told me...
That my house
Smells like dog...🐾
And I asked them...
Do they know what a dog smells like?
A dog smells like:
Gratitude...
Loyalty...
Nobility...
Honey...
Pure and Unconditional Love! 💜
and despite all they have suffered they don't smell a grudge....
So...
I feel blessed
My house smells like dog! 🐾💞

Night everyone sleep well 😴

I see you. Not the flashing lights or the giant tires. I see the farmer. I see you looking back every three seconds, trying to get over because I’ve been following you for three km and you worry I’m getting angry and impatient. I see you look back twice as fast because the oncoming traffic is gone but we’re coming up on a intersection and you hope I know that. You hope I know there’s already two crosses on the SW corner of that 4 way because the car in front of me didn’t and they flew by you right in the middle of it. Well I see you, and I see the standing water in the fields and I see it’s quarter to 7 and you’re still at work while I’m on my way home to see my family on a Friday night. You're not in my way; I’m in the middle of your office and your work and your livelihood. I’ll follow you all the way home, I don’t mind. It gives me time to slow down and breathe. Everyone can benefit from a few minutes spent behind that combine.

Stay safe everyone

Poor wee souls crying for their mama. Come on people share this message share this video so others will become educated…. WE CAN DO BETTER ‼️ DO NOT leave garbage out. Pick your apples and other fruits don’t let them hit the ground and just leave them laying there. All of these things attract bears. This is not their fault. This is directly human caused‼️

I saw this and thought it was a perfect morning to share this reminder.

All dogs are good dogs, even the naughty ones 😇

None of us our perfect and never will be. Let’s drop that expectation for ourselves and our dogs to try to be “perfect”. We are all perfectly imperfect.

Do you have a dog that struggles with any of these traits?

Being a responsible pet owner means you know your dogs “triggers” and you keep others and your dog safe by not putting them in unsafe situations.

Let’s share our experiences in the comments to normalize some dogs don’t like everything and that’s okay!

"I'm not a pet,
but I'm not even a monster. "
Broken back, abdominal pains.
I can't move and the pain
it's getting worse.
I'm scared ... Dying slowly, very slowly.

If you don't love me, put me in a cage, sweep me with a broom I will surely escape,
just leave me a way out,
I'm smart I'll find her right away and walk out of your life without bothering you anymore, or take me somewhere else far away from you please.

I'm not a dangerous animal and I won't hurt you, I was just hungry...

I make no apologies for repeating this message 🐝
If you see a bee of any description on the floor or not flying other than on a flowering plant, it is STARVING! You can help.
We are currently well into the 'June Gap' - the time between when the Spring flowering plants stop and the Autumn flowers start producing pollen and nectar.
You can help by mixing two parts sugar to one part water and offering the syrup to the bee. She (and they are mostly ladies) will happily drink from a teaspoon. You'll see her little black tongue as she drinks. It will take about 10 minutes for her to convert the syrup to energy, but she will fly away if you've helped her in time. The feeling you get on seeing her recovery and flight is well worth your time.
PLEASE NOTE - This is a temporary measure and 'First Aid' only. The Bees need diversity in their diet and need to pollinate plants in their search for food. I'm not suggesting we feed sugar to Bees as a regular thing.
NO HONEY PLEASE - Disease can be spread easily from colony to colony through this practice and you will do more damage than good. White sugar and water only please x
They can't thank you, so I will on their behalf.
Thanks a million xx 🐝🐝🐝🐝

Great International 📰 News here 😄 Please SHARE

GREAT NEWS! The OCTOPUS Act has been introduced in the U.S. Senate! 🐙

The Opposing the Cultivation and Trade of Octopus Produced through Unethical Strategies (OCTOPUS) Act would prohibit commercial octopus farming in the U.S. and ban importation of farmed octopus from other countries, protecting octopuses from unimaginable cruelty.

We applaud Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Senator Lisa Murkowski for taking the first step to ensure the United States sets a global precedent for octopuses’ welfare.👏

Hi All 😊. This adorable girl needs a great foster and ultimately adoption. Please meet Harlow 💖
We are sharing Harlow for HugABull Advocacy & Rescue Society

Harlow is still in need of a foster or adoptive home!

This sweet 13 month old girl is looking for a foster family (or a forever family). Harlow adores people big and small but has no awareness of her size - so she would do best in a home with no small kids. Harlow is social with dogs outside of the home and could live with a chill male provided there is management in place around resources. Harlow can be mouthy on leash but is easy to redirect and super food motivated.

Harlow would love to live in a quieter neighborhood and with a foster family dedicated to helping her become the best dog she can be. Please consider opening up your home to this gorgeous girl.

To apply please visit our website and fill out a foster application. All questions can be directed to [email protected]. Thank you!

Absolutely 100% true ➡️ equestrians please read this 👍

I so wish this would stop!

A while ago I shared a fantastic post from Evidence Based Horsemanship here on my FB page.

“Did you know that horses lack a large, developed frontal lobe? That’s the part of the brain responsible for making plans, forming strategies, and reasoning.
Knowing that, horses don’t have it in for us! They don't lie, plot, or laugh at our expense. They literally don't have the brain power to do those things.”

I shared it because this is one of those myths in the horse world that bring the most pain in horse-human relationships.

The belief that the horse is doing things “to” you, to “test you”, to “annoy you” is exactly what leads to a lot of harsh corrections and emotional outbreaks from riders.
It justifies abuse and violence against horses.

Because of this myth, so many horses are misunderstood. Are labeled as “bitch”, “sassy”, “dominant” or even dangerous.

It is this myth that brings people so often into dangerous and frustrating situations with their horses.

And you know what? Within 5 minutes of sharing this post, I had a nasty comment underneath it. I could almost not believe it but confirmed to me how deeply rooted this myth is still today in the horse world.

“Science may say this but I've seen horses calculate and purposefully do things. Seemingly out of spite. They say that a lot of animals lack this ability but yet if you take any length of time and watch their behaviors you start to see that some of them truly are just as****es and do things purposefully.”

This is exactly the attitude that has to stop! Once people start calling horses ***holes, this is where the fun really stops. I mean, come on!

There is a reason as of why the horse feels so triggered that it feels the need to behave like a so called “***hole”!

And it is usually the person on the end of the lead rope or in the saddle that triggered this behavior in the first place.

How about rethinking our own behavior and way of acting around the horse?
Because horses are just doing their best with the information they get from us and their surroundings.

Yes, horses can become resentful and aggressive towards people. But this is never without reason!

What about starting to ask questions in a way that the horse doesn’t feel aggressed, offended, or scared and that it can answer the questions we ask with YES instead of with a big fat NO?

By saying things like “the horse is doing this on purpose to test me” or “he is just trying to get out of work” etc, we are refusing to take responsibility for our own actions.

Facing the truth is humiliating and painful. So, people take the easy way out by blaming the horse.

Once we start to treat the horse according to its cognition, we can make great progress and enjoy a much more peaceful relationship.

Because we won’t take things personally anymore - now we know that the horse isn’t doing things “to” us in order to “test” or “annoy” us, but simply doing the best he can with the information he has.

Then we can set up situations in a way that the horse can say yes with confidence.
Then we can meet the horse with an open heart and with empathy.

But it also means that we have to learn, study, get better and consistently question our approach. And this seems to be uncomfortable for many.

Because we can’t refuse responsibility anymore.

If I had one wish to come true, it would be that every horse person on this planet would abandon dominance theory.

This would bring a huge change in the horse industry. Fewer accidents, less abuse, better horse welfare.

Friendly reminder.
If you are seeing wildlife where they wouldn't normally be, like in towns or on your property, Please leave them alone.
Their home may be gone now too, and they are fleeing for safety, just like people and their families being displaced.
They too, are already in a high-stress situation, and approaching them can make it worse.
If you see an animal in distress, call the proper authorities to deal with the situation. But if they are just looking for food and water, they will find it. It's in their nature.
Don't try and domesticate the wildlife or threaten them any further.

If you find any lost pets, take them in if you are able. It's unknown how far an animal will travel on its own in a crisis situation. Someone is looking for their fur babies and it's easier to return a pet to a frantic owner than telling them "This is the last place I saw them."

Stay safe.

When your dog came to the shelter because you’re tired of him, because he bothers you, prevents you from going on holiday or other excuses...
He sits and waits.
He's waiting for you to come get him.
A second, a minute, an hour, a day, a month, a year --- he's waiting for you.
He doesn’t know why, but he’s waiting because he trusts you; because unlike you, he loves you.
Your dog is not a toy. Think twice before getting a dog. You have the responsibility of a living being and of a family member.
Auther unknown
