Meksika’da bir akaryakıt istasyonu çalışanı, mola saatinde sokak köpeklerini yıkadığı gerekçesiyle işten çıkarıldı. Görüntülerin sosyal medyada yayılmasının ardından büyük tepki oluştu. Halkın boykot ettiği istasyon el değiştirirken, yeni işletme çalışanı geri almak istedi. Ancak o, bu sırada başka bir işe başlamıştı.
Marcó el gol que dio a España el Mundial. Tiene el nombre de su primer perro tatuado en el brazo. Son la misma persona.
Ferran Torres creció con un perro llamado Rex. Cuando Rex murió, Ferran tenía unos diez años y se quedó con algo que no ha soltado desde entonces. De adulto se tatuó el nombre de Rex y la fecha en que lo recibió bajo el bícep izquierdo. Luego le contó a su hermana Arantxa lo que había hecho. Ella se tatuó la cara de Rex en la espalda. “Para estar unidos por ese perro que dejó tanta huella”, explicó Torres.
Desde entonces, sus vacaciones siempre incluían lo mismo: encontrar perros callejeros, llevarlos al veterinario, pagar las facturas, buscarles acogida. No como gesto puntual sino como rutina. “Si dependiera de mi hermana y de mí, nos llevaríamos a casa a cada perro que viéramos en la calle”, dijo en una entrevista con NBC Sports Boston.
En 2021 se convirtió en el primer embajador de la Wild at Heart Foundation, la organización fundada por Nikki Tibbles en 2015 dedicada a reducir la población de perros callejeros en el mundo mediante esterilización, rescate y adopción. Torres usa sus cinco millones de seguidores como altavoz. Tibbles lo describió así: “No es solo una estrella mundial. Es amable y compasivo y claramente se preocupa por el bienestar de los animales.”
Sus perros actuales son Minnie, una podenco andaluza adoptada, y Lluna, una perra lobo checoslovaca. Ha diseñado su casa con zonas específicas para ellos. Y ha declarado en más de una entrevista que son parte esencial de su equilibrio mental dentro de la exigencia del fútbol de élite.
El mismo hombre que el domingo marcó el gol más importante de la historia reciente del fútbol español pasa sus vacaciones rescatando perros de las calles.
Ferran Torres, delantero que hizo a España campeona mundial con su gol, es una de las caras más visibles del fútbol en la lucha contra el abandono y maltrato animal ♥️🐶
Creció jugando fútbol con sus perritos y ahora rescata y apoya fundaciones

Cavalos só dormem assim, deitados e relaxados, quando se sentem extremamente seguros. Criou-se um mito de que cavalos só dormem em pé, mas isso só acontece quando estão pouco adaptados ou se sentem ameaçados para poder correr a qualquer sinal de perigo.
Éste perrito llorando y llorando, lo quitaban y él regresaba ahí mismo, hasta que decidieron buscar los rescatistas ahí y encontraron a su familia, dos adultos y dos menores, por desgracia todos muertos 😢
Pero gracias al perrito los encontraron y él nunca los abandonó.
Por qué entonces los humanos sí abandonamos a los animales? 😭
YES: Mamdani's administration just funded New York City's first-ever pet food pantry program.
$750,000 in the FY2027 budget, specifically to help pet owners who can't afford food for their animals. Another $750,000 goes toward affordable spay/neuter services. $1.5 million total, aimed at keeping people and their pets together.
Here's why it matters: NYC animal shelters took in over 16,000 animals last year. Nearly 10,000 were strays. Another 6,500 were owner surrenders — people who loved their pets but couldn't afford to feed them or get them basic vet care, and had to give them up.
Animal welfare advocates had been pushing for this for years, asking for $15.3 million to fully fund pantries, spay/neuter clinics in every borough, and a real animal welfare office. They got a fraction of the ask, But it's the first time the city has put dedicated dollars behind the idea at all.
No family should have to choose between rent and feeding their family — pets included. This is a start.

Carol and Hubert are still here and are approaching 1 year old. at this point, I'm willing to let them go separately if that helps them find homes. They are getting 0 interest as a pair and they'll be fine separated. please share
In about one hour, I will be arraigned on 4 felony counts and face up to 30 years in prison for taking this little guy out of a Ridglan cage.
In addition to charging me, the government has banned me from contacting my co-defendants and is now trying to undermine my right to a speedy trial.
But every corrupt and unconstitutional act by the government will simply make our case even stronger. We press forward to defend the right to rescue—and to defend the tens of thousands of other dogs (and billions of other animals) who remain trapped in cruel cages.
Most importantly, we defend James. Every time I come home, he jumps in my lap and begs to be picked up. It was the first place he ever felt safe. Rescuing him was not a crime. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I relish the opportunity to defend rescuing James in court.
