This mailman started writing fake letters for a dog because he could not stand seeing her disappointed. Back in 2016, Australian mail carrier Martin Studer had one very enthusiastic customer, a golden retriever named Pippa, who every morning would wait by the gate for Martin, gently take the family’s mail from his hand, and proudly carry it back inside as if collecting the post were her official job.
On days when there was no mail, Pippa would be left waiting with nothing to collect, and Martin could not bear to disappoint her, so he started carrying blank postal cards in his bag and writing “Mail for Pippa” on them [1]. Whenever there was no real post, he would hand Pippa one of the fake letters so she could still complete her daily mission.
One mailman, one golden retriever, and zero real letters were needed to make her day. Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can mean everything to a dog
Freedom could soon come for 16,000+ dogs facing criminal abuse at Marshall BioResources, with 2 huge updates this week.
And the timing is perfect. The March to Abolish Animal Testing ends this week on the doorsteps of Marshall on Sept 26 in North Rose, NY.
Be there!
We are publicly asking @SeattlePD and @GovBobFerguson to consider reopening the Kurt Cobain case.
In 1994, authorities publicly characterized Cobain’s death as self-inflicted before a full forensic analysis could be completed.
In 2005, then-SPD Chief Gil Kerlikowske asked former Capt. Neil Low to audit the case. Low was given full access to the case file and concluded the evidence pointed to a homicide and that the case should be reopened.
In 2025, a multidisciplinary team published a peer-reviewed study in the International Journal of Forensic Sciences concluding that its analysis of the publicly available evidence was inconsistent with a self-inflicted death and supported homicide.
We believe Kurt Cobain’s death deserves to be investigated as a potential homicide, without beginning from the preconceived assumption that it was self-inflicted. Whoever was responsible could be walking free to this day.
For those who want to examine the evidence for themselves, see our full investigation here: https://t.co/deWbbQ6onI
Happy National Dog Day! 🐶❤️
Today, we celebrate the dogs who fill our lives with love—and fight for those still waiting for freedom.
Every dog deserves sunshine, soft beds, kindness, and a life beyond the testing lab. 🐾

“WOOF everyone!” says rescued laboratory dog @BetsyAmbassador. “There’s an amazing march happening in London and America, on 12th September, to end cruel experiments on us #dogs, and other #animals.
Please support this fantastic action, all details below!” ❤️🐾

The New South Wales Government is going to shoot Australian wild brumby horses starting tomorrow 6am Monday 24th August through Friday 28th, in Yuraygir National Park. They will be mass shooting the animals from helicopters. These horses do not always die immediately, and dependent foals can be left without their mothers.
Over 7,000 wild horses have already been killed through aerial shooting in Kosciuszko National Park. Now aerial shooting is being used against horses in Yuraygir, all in the name of protecting the “environment”.
If the NSW Government actually cared so deeply about protecting the environment, why is it facilitating 15 proposed data centre projects worth almost $52 billion, despite the enormous electricity and water demands associated with data centres?
What about trapping and rehoming these horses? Many locals who live alongside them dispute the extent of the environmental damage being attributed to these animals.
Where is the recent, publicly available, independent and transparent evidence showing the current extent of environmental damage specifically caused by the horses in Yuraygir? And where is the evidence showing that shooting them from helicopters is necessary instead of pursuing non lethal alternatives?
Some people will argue that wild horses can impact ecosystems. This does not automatically mean aerial shooting is the only, or the right, solution. In my opinion, this is awful and inhumane.
There are better ways to manage these beautiful animals than shooting them from the sky.
Shame on you @PennySharpemlc@ChrisMinnsMP@ParksAreGreat
The last 150 beagles were rescued from Ridglan today.
Ten years ago, we promised that all the thousands of tortured pups at Ridglan would be freed. Today, we kept that promise.
But there’s much more work to be done. Thousands of dogs remain trapped in lab cages. And there are crucial events coming up—the Save the Dogs summit in Madison, WI on Sept 4-6 and the March to Abolish Animal Testing from Sept 12-26—that we need everyone to be a part of.
We’ve got a chance to make history. Let’s seize it—and give every dog like James the chance to grow old with loving families.
Camp Beagle have camped outside MBR Acres in Huntingdon for almost five years, 24 hours a day, every day, and we are not stopping.
We will continue until every cage is empty.
Together, we are strong. Together, we can stop this.
FREE THE MBR BEAGLES
Now we saved 2,000 beagles!!
Ridglan Farms is shutting down. And the pups are going free.
Every tear gas shot, every felony charge, every day in jail — it was all worth it.
To the thousand volunteers who risked your freedom to save the pups this year, and to the millions of people around the world who followed and poured out your care, I want to say:
Thank you.
We did it. ALL of us.
There are still 15,000+ beagles at MBR who need our help. We’re coming for them.
Let’s save them all!!!
This little girl from Ridglan doesn't understand freedom yet. She's confused by open space after life in a cage.
But she already understands love. They all do. And love is exactly what she and the 2000 other pups are going to get!
