April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month!
Established by the ASPCA in 2006, this month is dedicated to raising awareness about animal abuse, promoting compassion, and pushing for stronger protections for animals worldwide.
Cats are among the most abused companion animals in the world, and the scale of organized online cruelty is far greater than most people realize:
• Between May 2023 and May 2024, a video showing the torture and killing of a cat was uploaded to online Chinese abuse communities every 14 hours and 24 minutes on average.
• In September 2023, the Chinese online cat torture network promoted a “100 cat kill” competition, encouraging members to quickly torture and kill 100 cats. Similar contests have been held every year since.
• Feline Guardians investigative partner documented over 130 X accounts promoting cat abuse in just one month.
This is not isolated. Animal abuse is strongly linked to other forms of violence, including domestic abuse and harm against children.
This April we’ll be sharing facts, stories, and ways you can help throughout the month.
So please join us in supporting the end of feline torture.
@SaskiaBelleman nou als ik alles zo lees snap ik weer heel goed waarom vrouwen het maar gewoon nalaten dit soort misstanden te melden. 9 van de 10 x zijn er gewoonweg helemaal geen getuigen en daarmee kun je dus nooit “ winnen” met je aangifte. #ondersteunendbewijs
@MiesBee Mooi hè.. deze lui doen zoveel goed werk!
Hier zou de belasting dienst, en waarschijnlijk de uitkeringsinstanties de helft van de donatie direct weer innemen
