The closure of a major Canadian horse slaughter plant is part of a broader trend: industries built on animal exploitation are increasingly collapsing under public pressure.

Advocates say these changes reflect a larger shift away from industries rooted in cruelty.

The folks in the laboratory animal world take advantage of the good nature of beagles. They get to do whatever they want to the dogs, and they know that there’s no immediate consequence.

We must fight for them.

This is why we fight.  The Ridglan Rescue matters.

But reform is how we stop the suffering at scale.  We’re pushing federal agencies to phase out animal testing entirely.

We didn’t just rescue 1,500 beagles. We’re working to make sure this never happens again.

This is how you create permanent change.

🚨 UPDATE in Oregon Wildlife Neglect Case

A guilty plea has been entered in the case involving the West Coast Game Park Safari, where authorities uncovered widespread animal neglect and removed hundreds of animals from the property.

The Indiana dogfighting case, resulting in prison time for 13 defendants, underscores a larger reality: Animal fighting is not isolated cruelty.

Now, advocates are calling for passage of the FIGHT Act to strengthen enforcement and dismantle these networks nationwide.

The Cody Roberts case has intensified calls to pass the Snowmobiles Are Not Weapons Act, which would ban using motorized vehicles to chase or harm wildlife on federal lands.

Supporters say the goal is clear:
turn a high-profile case into lasting federal protections.

Anthony DeVore, founder and former president of the Oklahoma Gamefowl Commission and a leading figure pushing to weaken anti-cockfighting laws, was caught on video participating in an illegal cockfighting derby.

His punishment? $100.

And now he’s running for state office.

A legislative scandal is happening in real time in Congress.

There are two provisions within the 1,000-page Farm bill: locking breeding sows in tiny, immobilizing crates, and propping up a fading mink farming industry that jams together solitary.
