Don't watch. Don't bet. Don't attend. Horseracing is animal cruelty. 🚫🏇

Please take action and share...

⚠️Mayor Karen Bass, urgent action is needed for animals in LA⚠️

PLEASE authorize approved animal disaster response teams to assist with evacuations & search-and-rescue efforts for animals left behind in areas affected by fires.

Time is running out!

After hearing from PETA supporters, animals affected by the fire received life-saving attention.

New Year --- New Chance!
Let your legislators know whether you think spending covid relief dollars on a county aquarium is a good idea or just plain fishy!

We've said it before. We love fish.

Of course we do. We are an animal welfare group. But we need to take care of our neighbors first.

Too many go without a decent place to live. Some sleep in their cars or worse and they don't know where their next meal will come from. Children bear the weight of lead poisoning . . . and poverty and food insecurity.

WE DO NOT NEED AN AQUARIUM. We DO need to take better care of our people. And yes, better care of CNY's companion animals, too. People and their pets need each other.

Please contact your Onondaga County Legislator - or all of them!
http://ongov.net/legislature/members.html If you're unsure who your county legislator is, call 315-435-2070 and they will help you.

It's not too late...

Urge your legislator(s) to withhold additional funding for the aquarium project. Let's cut our losses now before they mushroom out of control later.

Not least of all, it is inhumane to confine in a closed aquarium environment animals who were born to move freely in a natural, engaging environment -- some would swim 20 to 40 miles a day. In an aquarium, they spend their lives going around in circles. That's plain wrong.

Please contact your legislator before the vote on appropriating yet another $11,000,000 on the aquarium most cititzens have said they don't want or need.

Do it before time runs out.

CRUELTY IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT

What is H5N1?
H5N1, commonly known as avian influenza A or bird flu, is a highly pathogenic strain of influenza virus that primarily affects birds, but cases have recently been reported in wildlife, cattle, cats, and humans.

What do we know about the latest outbreak?
Recently H5N1 influenza cases have been reported in cats that have consumed contaminated commercial raw food diets, unpasteurized milk, or had contact with wild birds and cattle.

Precautions:
Consider discontinuing your pet’s raw diet. Even if their raw food is human grade, frozen, or freeze dried, this does not prevent the potential spread of pathogenic bacteria, parasites, or H5N1 that may be present in the food. Consider cooking your pet’s raw food and/or consulting your veterinarian about diet change.
Limit your pet’s access to wild birds that may be carrying the virus and avoid giving them raw milk.

What are the symptoms to watch out for in our pets?
Clinical signs in pets may include the following:
• Loss of appetite
• Lethargy
• Fever
• Neurologic signs (ataxia, circling, tremors, seizures, sudden blindness)
• Copious oculonasal discharge
• Difficulty breathing
We recommend seeking veterinary care if your pet shows any of these signs. If they are having any life-threatening symptoms (neurologic signs, seizures, difficulty breathing, or collapse) seek veterinary care immediately.

Can this cause illness in humans?
Yes, H5N1 can cause illness in humans. Current human infections have been linked to contact with infected cattle and wild birds. There is no current evidence of human to human transmission.

What is being done?
The CDC, FDA and USDA are closely monitoring cases as they develop. One voluntary product recall has been issued for contaminated raw food diets for cats & dogs. We are continuing to monitor this emerging virus.

Follow our animal health centers' social media accounts for regular updates.

Thank you Onondaga County Legislator, Maurice Brown, for your humane advocacy!!

Legislator Mo Brown calls for a comprehensive study to determine the full cost of aquarium, factoring in inflation and future expenses.

Jeers to Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh who commissioned a wrong-headed plan that allows USDA agents to start killing deer today, Jan. 6, and continue through the end of March. You can contact him at (315) 448-8005 or [email protected] and tell him to call off the misguided slaughter. Killing deer...
