@RepGoodlander, thank you for your strong support of bipartisan legislation to advance animal welfare!

@SenatorHassan Please cosponsor the bipartisan Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act. Horse soring is barbaric and inhumane. #PassthePASTAct #NotOneHorseMore

[Animal Rights News @theirturn]

In Australia's #kangaroo skin trade, commercial hunters beat kangaroos to death with iron bars, sever their limbs while they're still alive; tear joeys out of their dead mothers' pouches; and toss the orphaned babies through the air. The unmonitored bloodbath takes place under the cover of night.

@adidas Board Chair @ThomasRabe (who is also @Bertelsmann_com CEO) knows that the slaughter of wild kangaroos and their joeys is cruel and violates the company's "standards on animal-derived materials," so why doesn't he replace kangaroo skin with #crueltyfree materials, as Nike, Puma and New Balance have done?

@KellyAnnConAway My heart sank when you used “bacon and eggs” as an example on FOX this evening as both products involve immense suffering and death.

Two whistleblowers go on trial Oct 3 for exposing animal cruelty & rescuing sick piglets. Utah AG @seanreyesut should prosecute @SmithfieldFoods for neglecting malnourished & injured piglets, not the people who helped them. Learn more at https://t.co/AkhTXf6ufr #SmithfieldTrial

[Joan OBrien @joanlobrien]

@DxEverywhere The perpetrators of the animal abuse are the criminals, not the brave souls who exposed it.
