🚨 A new poll from Zenith Research — conducted on behalf of The Central Park Conservancy — finds that 68% of New Yorkers support legislation to ban horse-drawn carriages in NYC

Just 20% oppose it, and 12% are undecided

It has majority support across all 83 subgroups tested

@SallyGold My mother, my brothers and I used to visit and stay at The Plaza on Easter weekend. The horses made our visit a nightmare. We went to other cities even though we adored NYC. Too depressing. My mother used to ask for a room that didn't show the poor horses. We must do Better.

This comes ahead of a hearing on this issue in the Council next week.

Calling veganism a diet misses the point entirely. 👀

Food may be the most visible part of veganism, but it's only one expression of a much broader ethical principle. 🌱

Veganism is about rejecting the idea that animals exist for human use - whether for food, clothing, entertainment, or experimentation. 🙅

It's about choosing not to participate in systems that exploit sentient beings. It's about aligning your actions with the belief that animals have intrinsic value and deserve to live free from unnecessary harm. 🙏

A badger may have suffered for your brush 💔

An eyewitness went undercover to expose where some paint, makeup, and shaving brush bristles come from. What they found was so disturbing that we had to blur the footage.

See it to believe it!

Such tragic news to hear of the death of Anthony Head such a talented actor & lovely man

His passing comes so soon after of his Sarah Fisher

Both Anthony and Sarah were tireless in their care & compassion for animals. Sarah ran Tilleys farm a sanctuary for rescued horses ponies and donkeys and did so much for animal centred education for dogs and other animals

Anthony was a patron of Battersea Dogs Home and Safe Haven for Donkeys and a very vocal campaigner for animal protection

During my time as CEO of the Badger Trust he narrated a wonderful ground breaking campaign film aimed at stopping the culling of these beautiful wild animals

Both are so sadly missed and deserved longer in this world, l hope they are now finally back together again

An elephant’s spine is not built for any load bearing - riding them causes immense pain and damage.

Michelle Moran, 63, of Bebington, Wirral, has been banned from keeping animals for life after throwing her Jack Russell terrier Gypsy into a boating lake at Gautby Road in Birkenhead to drown.

Moran claimed she believed Gypsy had cancer and tumours and could not afford veterinary euthanasia, but none of her alleged conditions were confirmed by any veterinary diagnosis.

Gypsy's body was recovered from the lake by a member of the public on September 29 last year.

When examined, the dog weighed just 3.7 kilograms and scored two out of nine on a body condition score, indicating severe malnourishment. Her mouth and nose were bloodied.

Veterinary evidence confirmed the surrounding concrete wall would have made it almost impossible for a small or weakened dog to escape the water.

Moran pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act and received a 17-week suspended sentence, a lifetime animal ban, a curfew, and rehabilitation requirements. The RSPCA described Gypsy's death as horrendous and called Moran's actions extremely callous.

On May 4th, the Faroe Islands carried out the first grind of the year. In Sándavágur more than 125 pilot whales alongside several Atlantic white-sided dolphins were slaughtered.

Their fear and pain meant nothing to the communities standing by, treating suffering as tradition.

Left behind in Kabul. Alone. He waited 47 days.

K-9 Chaos was not a dog who did his job. He was a dog who had DECIDED, completely, permanently, without reservation, that Lieutenant Marcus Webb was coming back for him. No matter how long it took.

At Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, on the morning of August 30th, 2021, a three-year-old Belgian Malinois sat in an empty aircraft hangar. The last American plane had left six hours ago. The evacuation was over.

Chaos had been left behind.

Not intentionally. The chaos of the withdrawal. The panic. The rush. Webb had been separated from Chaos during the final evacuation. Put on a different plane. Told Chaos would be on the next flight.

There was no next flight.

Chaos survived the first day alone. Waiting at the hangar where Webb had left him.

Chaos survived the first week. Scavenging food from abandoned military supplies.

Chaos survived 47 days in Taliban-controlled Kabul. Alone. Hiding. Waiting.

Because Chaos survived on the belief that Webb wouldn't leave him forever.

Back in the United States, Webb was losing his mind. Filed reports. Called congressmen. Contacted rescue organizations. Went on the news.

"I left my dog in Afghanistan," he said on CNN, his voice breaking. "I left my brother. And I'm going to get him back."

The military said it was impossible. Kabul had fallen. Taliban controlled the airport. No way to extract a dog.

Webb didn't care about impossible.

He contacted Pineapple Express, a veteran-run extraction operation. Gave them Chaos's last known location. Sent photos. Videos. Anything that could help.

For 47 days, Webb didn't sleep. Didn't eat properly. Just waited for news.

On October 16th, 2021, his phone rang.

"We found him," the voice said. "We found Chaos."

A rescue team had infiltrated Kabul. Used Webb's intel. Found Chaos still at the hangar. Still waiting. Forty-seven days later.

Chaos was emaciated. Dehydrated. Traumatized.

But alive.

The extraction took three days. Smuggling Chaos out of Taliban-controlled territory. Through checkpoints. Through danger.

But they got him out.

On October 19th, 2021, Chaos landed at Dulles International Airport. Webb was waiting on the tarmac.

When they opened the crate, Chaos didn't move. Stared at Webb like he was seeing a ghost.

"It's me, brother," Webb said, kneeling down. "I came back. I promised I'd come back."

Chaos stepped out slowly. Walked to Webb. Collapsed into his arms.

The reunion video went viral. Seventeen million views in three days.

But what people didn't see was what happened after.

For six months, Chaos wouldn't sleep unless Webb was in the room. Wouldn't eat unless Webb fed him. Wouldn't go outside unless Webb went first.

"He's terrified I'll leave him again," Webb said in an interview. "And I don't blame him. I left him once. In the worst place. At the worst time. He waited 47 days for me. And I'll spend the rest of my life making sure he knows I'm never leaving again."

Three years later, Chaos still sleeps with his head on Webb's chest. Still follows him everywhere.

Still making sure Webb doesn't disappear.

K-9 Chaos. Survived 47 days alone in Kabul. Extracted by heroes. Reunited with his handler. Home.

The Government has finally confirmed that the all badger culling will end including in the last cull licence area in Cumbria. After 13 years & the slaughter of 250,000 badgers at a public cost of £100 million this tragedy is finally over. We must now ensure it never starts again under a new Government in 2029. Well done to everyone who took to the fields marched in the streets and stood outside the Courts to end this this cruel costly madness

[PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE @Protect_Wldlife]

Please 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!

[Voters For Animal Rights @theanimalvoters]

Today, the House passed the Farm Bill 224-200. We won’t minimize it — this is a loss, and it stings. It could strip away all the laws we’ve fought to pass in New York, like the ban on foie gras.🦆

But here’s what we need you to hear: the fight is far from over.

The Save Our Bacon Act (EATS Act) may have made it through the House, but it still has to get through the Senate — and that’s where we believe we can stop it.

The Senate is our next battleground. And we’re ready.

To every single person who called their rep, tweeted, shared our posts, and raised their voice this week — thank you. You showed up. That matters more than you know, and it’s exactly the energy we’re bringing into the next round.

Stay with us. The animals need us now more than ever.
