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.

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:

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 ♥️

A bear was spotted in West Harrison, NY.
She wasn’t aggressive—just napping in someone’s yard.

were already there when wildlife expert Jim Horton was called. He had a tranquilizer gun and said he could be there in 10 minutes.

Instead of waiting, they shot and killed her.
Then an officer posed for a photo with the gun—next to her body.

The NY Department of Environmental Conservation confirmed:
She should not have been killed.
This wasn’t euthanasia. It was lazy. Needless. Cruel.

Now the Westchester DA is investigating.
And they should.
Because this happens all the time.

Dogs. Bears. Deer.
Killed out of convenience.
Almost no one is ever held accountable.

We always try to support what’s right.
But how are we supposed to respect law enforcement when this is how they treat animals?

People ask why there’s so much anger.
It’s things like this.

This is crazy.

A dog was found locked inside a car on a 90° day — panting, no water, in obvious distress. This happened in Cornelius, North Carolina.

A woman named saw what was happening and opened the unlocked door to help. She gave the dog water and waited for help. She even documented everything on video.

And instead of thanking her, Corporal Russell of the threatened her with possible charges. He even asked the owner if they wanted to press charges — against the person who saved their dog.

When doing the right thing gets treated like a crime, what kind of message does that send?

Next time, someone might hesitate. And that hesitation could cost a life.

We believe this woman deserves thanks — not intimidation. She did the right thing. The only person who should have been troubled is the one who left the dog in the car.

This man needs to be identified — and this dog needs to be removed.

He’s seen hitting the dog with a leash multiple times, then violently swinging the dog by the neck, with its back legs off the ground. This was originally the posted on NextDoor.

The dog was terrified — tail tucked, clearly didn’t want to walk with him.

This was filmed in Codman Square, Dorchester, MA.

Boston Police and MSPCA won’t act without a name or address.

This is horror.
A herd of elephants ran for their lives—while humans laughed and hurled fireballs.

This happened in Jhargram, West Bengal. A peaceful herd emerged from the forest. Instead of being left alone, they were attacked.

One brave mother paused to shield her calf. In that moment, a fireball struck. The baby collapsed—screaming, writhing, its tiny body on fire.

This wasn’t fear.
This wasn’t self-defense.
This was cruelty. Deliberate. Celebrated.

And it’s not the first time.

In Junglemahal, this happens year after year.
Elephants burned. Beaten. Chased. Killed.
And almost no one is held accountable.

Silence is complicity.
If we say nothing, we’re part of it.

We know how powerless it feels when we see horrible cruelty like this. That humans can suck so much. They can be so heartless and terrible. It feels hopeless—but we need to speak up regardless.

No baby—human or elephant—should ever suffer like this.

We’re calling for justice. For consequences. Demand action from these officials:
