"Cockfighting is one of the most brutal forms of animal cruelty; these birds are forced to fight to near death one cut at a time, suffering devastating injuries in the process,” said Nicole Wilson, Director of Animal Law Enforcement and Shelter Operations at the Pennsylvania SPCA.

The primary is over, but the work for animals continues. Now is the time to remind candidates and your current elected officials that animal protection matters to you. Live pigeon shoots. Closing the Puppy Mill Pipeline. Wildlife trafficking. Declawing. Beagle protection. These issues are not fringe issues. They are voting issues that Pennsylvanians support. Humane PA will continue tracking where candidates and lawmakers stand, and we’ll keep working to elect leaders who will give animals a voice in Pennsylvania.

Here's what the pork industry doesn't want you to know about the way it sneaked a provision into the 2026 farm bill that would nullify ballot measures that improve animal welfare, while helping Chinese companies torture American pigs. The issue is personal to me, because we once raised pigs on our family farm, and I saw that these are not commodities but animals rather like dogs: smart with very distinct personalities. A naughty boy who punishes a single animal may be punished, but an adult who presides over the systematic abuse of hundreds of thousands of pigs as a business model is hailed as a visionary CEO -- and voters get that, and that's why they have backed laws that improve animal wellbeing. This is, remarkably, an issue that unites many liberals and conservatives alike; @TomiLahren, @Cernovich and @IngrahamAngle are among those who have been outspoken on this issue. I hope R and D members of Congress alike will stand firm, for the stakes are immense, with four pigs slaughtered around the clock on average all year. Here's a gift link to my piece: https://t.co/NWQbJK6JTc I welcome your comments.

Pets can carry ticks into your home, and ticks can make them sick too. Check your pets for ticks every day and remove any you find right away. If your pet had a tick on them recently and is acting differently, contact their veterinarian.

‼️An Update from the Pennsylvania SPCA Animal Law Enforcement Team‼️

We have seen the post circulating on social media in reference to bleach being poured on the food source of community cats in Chester, PA. We want want to assure your that we are already actively investigating this matter.

Our Animal Law Enforcement team has executed a search warrant at the property of a suspect. Our team is processing the evidence for the purpose of filing charges.

We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of concern from our community. Your compassion for animals is what drives our mission every day.

However, we kindly ask that you refrain from flooding our phone lines and inboxes with inquiries about this specific case. The investigation is already a priority - every message about this case makes it harder for us to properly respond to new reports about other animals who may be in urgent need of help right now.

Thank you for helping us protect animals.

Tomorrow is Primary Day in Pennsylvania. If you care about animals, please make your voice heard at the polls.
