PETA's undercover investigator found parakeets suffering at a breeder in @Petco & @PetSmart's supply chain.
From feces-filled cages to a bird’s ripped-off head, this will break your heart. Find out what they’ve been trying to hide.
A border collie who reportedly had more than 1.5 millions followers on social media was stolen by a thief in China and later sold to a slaughterhouse to be killed and eaten.
Several local media reports said Chutou the border collie disappeared on 11 May while his owner and Chinese travel influencer Guo was travelling abroad. The dog was being cared for by Guo’s father.
Surveillance footage allegedly showed two people taking the dog away on an electric scooter from the house, which prompted the travel blogger to cut short his trip and return home to search for his pet.
On 26 May, Guo contacted a man he suspected of the crime and offered 10,000 yuan (about $1,500) to return Chutou, according to media reports. Guo learned that the dog had allegedly been sold for 180 yuan ($27) to a dog dealer on 14 May, according to the South China Morning Post. The dog had since been resold to a restaurant, slaughtered, and eaten, the report said.
Guo, a travel blogger from Henan province, and Choutou became internet stars after he started documenting their travels across China on Douyin – the Chinese version of TikTok.
THIS is why you should NEVER buy a bird from @Petco or any pet store.

Six chimpanzees recently left a US laboratory where they had lived for decades—and we’re so thrilled to report that all six arrived safely at @projectchimps, a sanctuary in Georgia for chimpanzees who were used in harmful experiments! 💗
One of those chimps is Charlie! 👋🏽
