No animal should be forced to perform tricks under fear, chains, or confinement just to entertain a crowd. Italy has finally said enough.

Italy officially moved to ban the use of animals in circuses in 2017, when lawmakers approved landmark legislation to phase out animal performances and end decades of cruelty in traveling shows.

The decision marked a major shift in how the country views animal welfare, recognizing that wild animals suffer deeply when taken from their natural environments and trained for spectacle.

While the phase-out has taken time, the law sent a powerful message across Europe that compassion matters more than outdated entertainment.

For animals who once lived behind bars and spotlights, this law represents hope, dignity, and a future free from forced performances.

This is life for most racehorses: locked alone in a 12×12 stall for over 23 hours a day. Naturally social, herd animals reduced to solitary confinement—deprived of movement, companionship, and freedom. This is animal cruelty. 💔

🚨 New bipartisan bill targets one of the most brutal forms of wildlife cruelty.

Today, members of Congress introduced the Snowmobiles Aren’t Weapons (SAW) Act to ban the intentional use of snowmobiles and other vehicles to run down and crush wolves, coyotes, and wildlife on federal lands.

This legislation closes a dangerous loophole that has allowed horrific acts—like the Wyoming wolf torture case—to go unpunished. Using vehicles as weapons has no place on America’s public lands.

Congress must act now to stop this cruelty. 🐺

Please take action and share...

At least 100 betta fish were reportedly thrown out behind a PetSmart store in Idaho, left to die slowly in the trash. And shockingly, no charges were filed — because under the Animal Welfare Act, cold-blooded animals aren’t legally considered “animals.”

That means fish, tortoises, snakes, lizards, and countless others have zero federal protections from abuse, neglect, exploitation, or suffering.

A new bill could finally change this.

The Cold-blooded Animal Research and Exhibition Act would update the law so that cold-blooded species are counted as animals under the Animal Welfare Act — giving them long-overdue safeguards against cruelty.

These beings make up 99% of all species on Earth. They are sentient, they feel pain, and they deserve protection.

Please sign our petition in the comments now to urge Congress to support this crucial amendment and protect cold-blooded animals from abuse.

ANOTHER DARK YEAR FOR RACEHORSES 💔

A new report by the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses reveals at least 174 thoroughbreds died on Australian tracks or from racing and training injuries in the past 12 months — the highest number since records began 10 years ago.
85 horses suffered fatal front-limb fractures, injuries that lead to euthanasia. The real number is likely higher, as many deaths in training or stables are never made public.

Meanwhile, Racing Victoria’s head vet, Dr Grace Forbes, claims she was pressured to be more “flexible” when clearing a horse to race. Even with safety scans and pre-race checks, horses keep dying for gambling and entertainment. This isn’t sport — it’s suffering.

🏇 Do not attend or bet on horse races.
