News: Laguna Beach just banned glue traps. They're now the fifth city in the US to do it.
The ordinance passed unanimously in April and prohibits setting, placing, or using glue traps to catch any animal within city limits. Culver City, Ojai, Ventura, and West Hollywood already had bans. England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand, and most of Australia got there first.
The reason is pretty simple: glue traps don't catch mice. They catch whatever walks across them: birds, lizards, snakes, toads, bats. Whatever lands on one dies slowly, stuck, unable to eat or drink, often tearing off limbs trying to get free. That's true of the mouse too.
CVS, Target, Walgreens, Dollar General, and Dollar Tree have all pulled them from shelves following pressure from animal welfare groups. The retail bans are doing more work than the city ordinances for now, but the ordinances are the ones that stick.
A live trap with peanut butter catches the same mouse. It costs four dollars. The mouse gets relocated, the lizard doesn't die on your garage floor, and you haven't left a slow-motion trap set 24 hours a day for whatever wanders through.
Five cities down. A lot more to go.
Apparently this ass hole was on his way to the shelter, where the dog was dumped with multiple injuries, and he is now in a medical ward. His name is west, and we have to make sure he finds love❤️
And that his abusers face justice.
Please Be Kind To Moles.
They are beneficial to soil health, acting as natural aerators and pest control by consuming lawn-damaging grubs, beetles, and larvae.
They do not eat plants, and their removal often leads to new moles occupying the vacant tunnel system, making it a futile effort.
Apart from that, it is CRUEL!
Billie Eilish addresses criticism over her statement that “eating meat is inherently wrong”:
“go watch a documentary or two and some footage of what is done to the animals u claim to love and what it does to the planet u pretend to love as well. if that footage was hard for u to watch i encourage u to pls take a look at urself. like i am so tired of standing up for/having empathy for living beings being controversial. pls continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance and denial and try to convince urself that ur not living a lie. mwah”
This dogs eyes and vagina were Gorilla Glued shut by an unhoused animal abuser on Skid Row.

The current leaders in Los Angeles and those who work with & for them are diabolical.

Don't harm opossums! They’re harmless and actually really useful. They keep pests in check (eating ticks, roaches, rats, and scorpions), clean up dead animals, and help spread seeds. Basically, they’re nature’s cleanup crew
This weekend, civilians risked our lives to check on dozens of dogs chained up by severe drug addicts in Watts. Guess how many LA leaders reached out to help?
One blocked us.
So negative 1.
It's only a small gesture but I have continually refused offers to perform in China because of the terrible bear bile farming, but I will be going to South Vietnam in September to do a piano concert.. not to humans, but to the Moon Bears in the wonderful Animals Asia sanctuary .
"NO KILL LA" = optics, metrics, money, false hope. Wharehousing dogs is also not rescue. LA CITY shelters kill dogs and the shelters tell volunteers and us to not use the word "Kill" when posting about the dogs who are going to be KILLED. So - yeah- we've had enough of this.
