This happened in Wahiawa, Hawaii - on the island of Oahu.

The kid beating on this pup has been identified and needs to be caught and face justice.

His name is Kullen Burner. He’s about 16-18 years old. Instagram: k_boyye86
Leilehua High School – Varsity Football, Wahiawa, HI

We know the video is hard to watch and covered in letters and characters, but it’s all we have right now.

So far, it looks like no arrest has been made. We need to push for one. With roots in Hawaii, this one hits close to home for us.

This is cruelty disguised as sport.

It’s the ultimate form of animal exploitation - violence dressed up as entertainment so crowds can cheer and sponsors can profit.

We’re cutting through the noise of celebration to say what most people don’t want to see: animals are dying at the Calgary Stampede.

Necks snapped. Legs shattered. Heart attacks. When it happens, they’re quietly carried off behind a curtain so the show goes on like nothing happened.

Since 1986, countless animals have died here, yet the tradition continues and the suffering gets ignored.

This is how cruelty becomes desensitized and normalized. Lights, music, and culture make people forget. No sport should leave something dead, especially an animal who never asked for any of this.

Tell to cut ties with the Calgary Stampede.

This is someone’s beloved pet, recovered lifeless from the floodwaters in Texas.

The news talks about homes and human lives lost. As they should. But the animals are usually left out. Forgotten. Silenced.

As an animal welfare organization, we can’t help but think about them - because that’s what we do. The dogs swept away in rivers. The cats hiding under debris. The deer, birds, and opossums - all the wild lives taken or displaced when nature turns violent.

Entire communities are underwater. People have died. And countless animals - domestic and wild - are gone, injured, or waiting for owners who may never come home.

Over 40 miles of river are being searched for animals lost, injured, or dead. Volunteers are working around the clock to rescue survivors, recover the deceased, and reunite animals with families.

One such group on the ground is Kerrville Pets Alive along with Kerr County Animal Services. They’re recovering animals, providing medical care, and trying to bring survivors home. If you see animals displaced by these floods or want to help, contact them directly:

San Diego County Animal Services has confirmed that the man responsible for dragging the Doberman to death is 58-year-old Joseph Holland, who they say is experiencing homelessness.

Holland claims he tied his dog, Ralph, to his Jeep Grand Cherokee after taking him to a park, then left to use the restroom and “forgot” the dog was still tied up when he drove off.

Authorities say Holland was “extremely remorseful and visibly heartbroken.”

We’re not buying any of that.

No one just “forgets” their dog is tied to the back of a car and then drives off not noticing they’re not in the car with them. And witnesses said the driver was laughing while Ralph flipped over and over on the road.

Whatever excuse he gives, it doesn’t change what happened. Ralph suffered and died because of him.

RIP, Ralph. We’re sorry that your owner was a fu***ng as***le and we can’t wait to put up his mug shot.

RIP to this poor pup. We’re sorry the worst kind of human did this to you. We hope you know no more suffering or pain - ...

RIP to this poor pup. We’re sorry the worst kind of human did this to you. We hope you know no more suffering or pain - and that you finally know a life filled with love, safety, and peace.

This was always about you before it was about anything else. And we hope this man gets as much mercy as he gave you - none.

This is brutal. This man needs to be identified.

On July 2nd around 5:45 PM, a red and brown Doberman was dragged behind a black Jeep Grand Cherokee in Spring Valley, California. Witnesses said the dog flipped over and over on the pavement while the driver laughed and ignored people screaming for him to stop. It went on for minutes along Bancroft Drive.

The Jeep has California license plate 9KZA855.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s with long gold or brown hair and a red beard.

If you know anything - the man, the Jeep, or the whereabouts of this dog - call San Diego County Animal Services at 619-541-1155. You can remain anonymous. Aldo contact the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department – Spring Valley Substation at 619-660-7090.

Yet another human being that needs to be removed from society forever.

This video comes from Tropical Pets in Corona, Queens, New York – a pet shop where birds and other animals are kept in filthy, deplorable conditions.

A witness went in and saw baby parrots stuffed into dirty glass tanks with no ventilation or space. One bird was clearly dead. When they asked, the man working there casually pulled the bird out and claimed it was just sleeping.

The next day, the birds were still there, losing feathers, trapped in filth, stressed, and neglected. The shop also has dogs, cats, and other animals hidden in the back. People say this place has been like this for a long time. It’s total neglect.

This place is nothing short of a prison for animals. They deserve to be liberated and placed somewhere humane unless conditions change immediately.

If you’re local, go see it for yourself. Film what you see and speak up. Let them know these conditions aren’t acceptable – and that an inspection needs to happen. Places like this survive because people stay silent.

Push for an immediate inspection:

These animals deserve much better than this. Let’s help liberate them.

Thank you

This is from the Kurdish region in Iraq.

When we first saw this, we couldn’t believe our eyes.

Thousands of stray dogs dumped on a hillside outside Erbil. Some say over 10,000. The whole region supposedly has more than 300,000 strays.

Some say the dogs are cared for and fed. Others say they’re starving, sick, and left to die. But either way, there’s nothing good or ideal about what we see here.

This is what happens when there’s no real plan. No spay and neuter programs, no TVNR. Now the problem is so big, it’s impossible to catch up.

Authorities say they’ve rounded up over 14,000 dogs since early 2025 and built a shelter, but it’s overcrowded and dogs are still dying from disease, starvation, and violence.

There’s no clear answer. And for anyone who follows us, you know not everything can be solved.

No, we’re not starting an email campaign. This is a Third World country. Officials there aren’t going to care about emails from first-world Westerners.

Many countries in that region have issues with stray dogs. Unless a huge team goes there and physically rescues them, there’s not much that can be done.

We share this for awareness. Because some things in this world are just fu**ed up - but people still need to see it.

A woman frantically pulls up to an LAPD officer on a motorcycle because her cat is about to die. She’s confused, desperate, and pleading for the nearest animal hospital.

The officer finds out where to go and escorts her there. She rushes inside with the cat, and when she comes back out, she breaks down in tears, thanking him for what he did.

It shows how humanity can step in when we’re at our lowest and in our hour of darkness.

Remember — we don’t just live a life. We share a life.

Many of us who’ve loved and lost animals know exactly what she was feeling.

The officer went above and beyond. We hope more people see moments of kindness like this, and pass them on.

This happened on McAllen/Mission, Texas, Taylor Rd and 107.

This man walked down the street, stopped at a yard, and shot a fenced dog with a slingshot. The dog is now limping from a leg injury. This wasn’t provoked done on purpose.

The family wants to press charges and need help identifying this man. If anyone has any information please contact:

Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office: 956-383-8114. Or send us or a DM.

This is called the Grindadráp. And it’s brutal.

In the Faroe Islands, nearly 500 pilot whales were just slaughtered, including pregnant mothers and calves. Locals chased them into shallow bays, then stabbed them to death in front of children. The ocean turned red with their blood.

These aren’t quick deaths. They’re drawn-out. Prolonged. The whales panic, cry out, and suffer as their families are butchered in front of them.

Pilot whales are emotional, intelligent beings. They travel in tight family pods. They grieve just like us. They understand fear. What they endured is soul-destroying.

This isn’t survival. It’s not about feeding a community. It’s cruelty passed off as tradition. Even Jane Goodall has called for it to end.

Critics have pointed out that the whale meat is toxic and contaminated with mercury and other pollutants. So what’s the excuse now?

Like with most atrocities, we share this not just to inform - but to push back.

Our Foundation exists for second chances.
Not every animal gets one.
But this time - one did.

The dog from that disturbing Codman Square, Dorchester video is now safe, thanks to all the voices that refused to stay quiet.

He’s in the care of .angell and has been named Pluto, a young, high-energy boy finally getting the care he deserves.

He’ll be available for adoption this week out of their Boston center.

MSPCA is investigating the incident, but for now, we’re just grateful he’s alive and on the path to healing.

Thank you to everyone who called, shared, and demanded better.
This is why we do what we do.

Second chances ♥️
