This is Katie and her mother Karen. This is their anguish as they listened to their entire flock of ostriches being slaughtered on their farm by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency

Marksmen took to towers and killed over 300 birds - firing more than 900 rounds late into the night. Some had been with the family for 30 years. Every one had a name. Every one suffered.

These birds weren’t sick. They survived avian flu a year ago and had natural immunity. The CFIA refused to allow testing and ordered them killed anyway.

This was a hard one to share. Many of us were deeply invested in these birds and their story, but it needed to be exposed. This is what government overreach looks like and when compassion is stripped away and cruelty becomes policy.

They didn’t have to do this. It was barbaric, inhumane - and it wasn’t done to help anyone.

Shame on the Canadian government and the CFIA.

Happening in Texas….

Locals in El Paso are looking to identify the man in this video severely abusing a dog. We’re sharing this to give the case more reach.

On Sunday evening, he was seen on Vin La Roda Drive repeatedly beating his unleashed dog. In the video, the poor pup is cowering in fear. When approached by a business manager, the man became hostile. By the time authorities arrived, both had left. He’s been seen around the Lower Valley area near Monticello Apartments and may be homeless.

National Security is offering $250 for tips leading to his identification and apprehension.

If you have information, contact:
National Security: (915) 544-2424
El Paso Animal Services Cruelty Unit: (915) 212-0800
Call 311 (El Paso city limits) or 911 if abuse in progress

UPDATE - Colombia

Fernando Alonso Oviedo surrendered to authorities after a video of him brutally beating a dog went viral on social media.

Governor Andrés Julián Rendón Cardona offered a 50 million peso reward for his arrest. With that kind of money on the table, anyone who knew him would flirt with 50 million pesos.

Oviedo showed up with a dog in a carrier claiming it’s the same one from the video - but we don’t believe it. That dog was beaten so brutally it couldn’t have survived much less even been able to stand up. Veterinarians will ultimately determine the truth.

He’s facing up to 6 years in prison under Ley Ángel (Angel’s Law). We’ve been told animal lovers in Colombia would take to the streets and riot if justice isn’t served - which is probably why this moved so quickly.

Thank you to everyone who shared the posts and made their voice heard. Justice comes through us never being silent.

Thank you

Colombia

A video shows a man brutally beating a dog. He’s reportedly done this to multiple dogs.

Although this happened in Antioquia, Colombia, we’re hoping this can help lead to apprehending this man.

His name is Fernando Alonso Oviedo and he’s from Sonsón, Antioquia, Colombia. The governor, Andrés Julián Rendón Cardona, is offering 50 million pesos for information leading to his arrest.

This is a Colombian matter. Sending emails from the US or Europe won’t do anything here. We need people in Colombia to get involved and report this directly to authorities.

If you’re in Colombia: Dial 123 or tag the governor with any information about Oviedo’s whereabouts.

Videos like this are brutal to watch, but they’re necessary - this is why documenting abuse matters. It becomes evidence. Hopefully street justice catches up with him first.

As we continue the process of closing our 501(c)3, our beloved China shelter will continue independently under Suki’s devoted care. Even though we are closing, the promise we made to every animal we rescued lives on. Thank you for walking beside us and believing in rescue, always ♥️ We will keep our social media pages active to share updates from Suki and to continue with animal awareness and calls to action.

What Suki Needs to Survive: $3,000 monthly to cover food, medical care and shelter supplies for 40 senior dogs, 4 disabled dogs, two chickens, a pig, cat and a goat — These 44 dogs were rescued from slaughterhouses and other dire situations as far back as 2017 and still need your help.


Because the foundation is closing, donations to Suki will no longer be tax deductible; but every contribution will go directly to the animals’ care. Please send your support to Suki’s personal PayPal account: [email protected]

With your continued help, Suki’s dream is to help animals in need by building a strong local rescue network and respond to emergency calls; partner with a compassionate veterinarian to expand spay and neuter programs; and educate children about compassion and animal welfare through school programs.

Please help her to make this dream a reality and to care for our remaining animals 🙏🏻

This video was posted publicly on Facebook.

This child goes into a dog’s crate, drags a small dog out roughly, picks it up the wrong way, and carries it off. The video cuts before we see what happens next, but the parent filmed the entire thing.

This is not how a small dog should be handled. When you post something publicly on social media, you open it up to scrutiny - and this deserves it.

Children need to be taught compassion and how to properly handle animals. This isn’t cute. This is how dogs get hurt and kids get bitten. Parents need to supervise, intervene, and teach - not film and post for engagement.

If you have dogs and small children in the same home, you’re responsible for both. We are our children’s handlers. This is basic stuff.

Newark, New Jersey

Yesterday we posted about Joanna Lugo - the woman backyard breeding and performing illegal surgeries on dogs without a license or medical training.

This new video shows exactly how bad it is. Poor quality, but we can see her botching a surgery on a newborn pup. When it goes wrong, she kills the pup by drowning it.

This is absolute madness and it’s only the tip of the iceberg. New information though keeps coming in.

We’re being told there may be a connection between Joanna and Summit Animal Clinic in Union City, NJ, involving someone named Carlos. We need to know who this is and if he’s a licensed medical professional. If you have information, reach out.

Keep reporting this until authorities step in:

NJ Department of Health (Animal Welfare): 1-800-792-9770
NJ Veterinary Board: njconsumeraffairs.gov - File Complaint - Licensed Provider Complaint (even though she isn’t licensed, this flags it to the board)

To everyone helping behind the scenes - thank you. You always step up, fill in the blanks, and take these cases to levels we never thought possible. We don’t have all the answers. We just get the story out there and you take it from there. That’s what makes this community so powerful.

This woman in New Jersey is performing surgeries on dogs inside her home. She is not a veterinarian or licensed medical professional.

Videos across her TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook show her cutting, stitching, and operating on animals - with no license, oversight, or medical training. She is also a breeder that artificially inseminates female dogs

The woman’s name is Joanna Lugo of TrapStar Bullies. . She reportedly works for Meretrex, LLC in Jersey City and is said to live in Paterson, New Jersey, though that has not been confirmed.

This is how elephants are forced to “worship” on their knees in Sri Lanka.

The elephant is sounding off in protest. This is not worship. This is slavery. An intelligent, sentient being that should be living in the wild with their herd and family, not bowing on command for human entertainment and religious spectacle.

Buddhism teaches compassion for all sentient beings. Forcing elephants into captivity and submission contradicts those principles. This elephant should be liberated - not exploited in the name of tradition or religion.

We’ve been bearing witness to atrocities regarding animals all over the world. We’ve seen this firsthand. Many people see images like this and think it’s beautiful, spiritual, or part of tradition. It’s not. It’s cruel. It’s forced behavior through domination and fear.

We’re not here to just fight everything or create endless email campaigns that go nowhere. We’re here to educate and change how people see the world and the choices they make.

If you didn’t know this was wrong before, now you do. If someone you know shares videos like this thinking it’s beautiful or wants to take an elephant ride on vacation, explain to them why it’s not harmless. Challenge their perspective. Give your testimony. Convert hearts and minds.

Every one of our followers has the ability to educate someone else. Use it.
