This will not end cruelty overnight, but it can stop dogs from being sent back into the hands that harmed them.

Animals never get the chance to testify about their abuse. They cannot warn future families. They cannot refuse to return to someone dangerous. Their silence is exactly why people must step forward and speak on their behalf.

A public registry of animal abusers is not about revenge or public shaming. It is about prevention. It blocks known offenders from adopting, buying, or gaining access to animals who have no way to defend themselves.

Cruelty toward animals is never minor. It is a clear danger signal. Ignoring it invites more suffering. Since animals cannot raise their voices, we must raise ours and stand between them and harm.

Well, this is new. And long overdue. And a bipartisan post; this post is about the US government recommending Americans eat more real food 🙌🏼. And why some doctors still diagree 🙀.

The USDA just flipped the food pyramid upside down. Literally. Lean meats, fresh vegetables, and fruits are now at the top. Grains and refined carbohydrates are at the very bottom. After decades of telling people to base their diets on high-glycemic, highly refined carbs, our government is officially prioritizing protein, roughage and antioxidants over starch. Real, minimally processed, nutrient dense food. And yes, this is an actual government meme.

It matters because the old guidance helped fuel an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and cancer in humans. This mirrors what we see in dogs and cats fed ultra-processed diets every day, which raises an uncomfortable question:

When are veterinary organizations going to acknowledge this?

Veterinary medicine is now the last medical field still aggressively promoting ultra-processed diets as the foundation of health. The average bag of kibble contains roughly 30–60 percent refined carbohydrates. Dogs and cats do not require any starch, dyes, emulsifiers, flavorings, additives or preservatives, yet vets continue to defend these rendered, feed-grade industrialized food pellets as the holy grail of optimal nutrition 🤯.

Meanwhile, the human grade, fresh pet food segment is one of the fastest-growing categories in the pet food industry because modern pet parents are connecting dots; they are making healthier food choices for themselves and their families. They are recognizing that extreme heat processing of ultraprocessed fast food does not create health, it damages tissues, metabolism and immune resilience over time.

Human nutrition policy has finally started to admit what biology has always told us; eat fresher, lower glycemic, less refined foods. Reduce the amount of highly refined, high carb foods going into your body, and into your pet’s body.

Medical doctors, for the two and four legged, should be leading this conversation, not lagging behind it. At least human doctors aren’t recommending consuming only ultra processed foods (which still happens routinely in vet med).

The longer the animal medical community resists acknowledging the role of real, fresh, minimally processed food in the long-term health equation for all of us, the more out of step it becomes with emerging science, with pet parents and patient outcomes, and with common sense. At this point, it’s not just frustrating, it’s starting to feel embarrassing.😶

😀🐾👏🏼😃So PAWsome!!!!!

The Sandhills Spay Neuter Veterinary Clinic SNVC blew past their goals in 2025! It was an incredible year for the clinic. They spayed or neutered 8,738 animals in 2025 — surpassing the previous year’s number by nearly 1,400!

Other highlights include:
- Worked with 36 rescue partners + 4 county shelters
- Served over 14 counties
- Partnered for a Jason Heigl Foundation spay day
- Performed over 1,300 feral cat spay/neuter surgeries
- Collaborated with 7+ TNR programs plus numerous private trappers
- Provided 499 wellness appointments

The board members of CACF are beyond thrilled with the efficiency the Clinic team has achieved over the past few years—averaging 7,200 surgeries per year since 2021. The total number of animals spayed or neutered since the Clinic’s doors opened in 1995 has now reached 116,527. By preventing these animals from reproducing, we’ve prevented the birth of millions of unwanted puppies and kittens over the past two decades. We look forward to continuing our work in 2026. Thank you to all who support our mission.
