This dog was just found dying on Skid Row and left in a near coma state for 2 days. He was rushed to the emergency vet where he tested positive for cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, MDMA and fentanyl. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING ON A DAILY BASIS.

[Wayne Hsiung @waynehhsiung]

Imagine your dog trapped in a metal coffin for her entire life. She cannot go outside. She cannot walk. She cannot even turn around to see what's behind her. She is forced to live this way her entire life.

This is the mind-blowing that the pork industry is not just trying to hide, but trying to force YOU to accept through underhanded tactics. It has slipped this provision (the Save Our Bacon Act) into the Farm Bill, legislation that otherwise does things like fund food stamps.

But now that is all being exposed. The NYTimes published an op ed yesterday condemning the corruption and abuse and calling the fight for animals "one of the great but incomplete moral revolutions of our lifetime."

Columnist @NickKristof will be remembered by history for his moral prescience. But this is all being exposed not just because of Kristof. My friend @joshbalk has worked tirelessly to lobby legislators. @Lewis_Bollard has relentlessly pushed this story on social media. @leah_garces has worked for years to successfuly win over allies from within the industry. And, most important, countless Americans like you have raised YOUR voice.

Stories like this NYT piece are in many ways the product of the small efforts of millions. Every person who shares on social media, tells their friends or co-workers about the corruption they've read about, or sheds a quiet tear for these defenseless creatures — you are the ones triggering this moral revolution.

And exposure is just the beginning. Soon, because of you, every animal will be freed from their tormenter's cage.

🚨 SAVE SNUGGLES: Court Orders Euthanasia of Military Veteran’s Family Dog

Snuggles is a 2-year-old livestock guardian dog belonging to a military veteran and his family in Tucson, Arizona.

He lives with his mom, dad, and two young children who love him dearly and see him as their protector and best friend.

Snuggles is now sitting in Pima Animal Care Center after a court ordered euthanasia ruling following a bite incident that occurred on his family’s property while he was on guard duty.

He has now been sitting in the shelter for AMOST 8 MONTHS away from the family he has known his entire life.

According to the family, this was Snuggles’ first bite incident.

The bite victim was the children’s grandmother, and she is also fighting to save Snuggles and bring him home.

The family believes Snuggles is being misunderstood for doing what guardian dogs are bred to do: protect their home and family.

Snuggles is not a monster. He is a working guardian dog with a family desperately fighting for his life.

The activists who finally forced Ridglan Farms to release 1,500 beagles from the most wretched conditions, and thus saved them from sadistic experimentation, are some of the bravest and most dedicated people you can meet.

If you don't follow @waynehhsiung, please do.

Did you guys know there is a biker gang called rescue ink that breaks up dogfighting rings, confronts animal abusers, confiscates neglected animals and investigates
stolen animals

[👉M-Û-R-Č-H👈 @TheEXECUTlONER_]

This woman went to visit this dog shelter that apparently most people don’t know even exists.

She was fortunate to go right when they were set to have their play time.

Look at all those beautiful dogs who just want a hug. 💔

This shelter gets no visitors and has less than 5 adoptions each month. Less than 5!

Let’s help rescue these dogs and clear their shelter. They are in a rural part of Georgia.

Do you know someone looking for a dog? Anyone in Georgia or close by? Or maybe you are due for an overdue road trip?

🚨 SAVE LUCY: A Soldier Saved Her in War. Now She Faces Death Over a MINOR Complaint at Home

Lucy is an 11-year-old dog who survived the Middle East and was brought home by U.S. Army veteran Brendan Jones after they bonded during deployment.

She has been with his family for 10 years and has never spent a day away from them… until now.

Lucy is currently sitting in the Shenandoah County Animal Shelter in Edinburg, Virginia, facing possible e*thanasia.

She is sitting there confused and alone after a lifetime with the family who loves her.

A year ago, Lucy had a single incident while recovering from surgery, medicated, and wearing a cone. A jogger’s arm reached inside the cone, and she reacted with one defensive nip, then immediately let go. Even that person did not want to press charges.

After that, the county labeled Lucy a dangerous dog.

On April 17th in Strasburg, Lucy slipped out of her collar for a few seconds on her own property and barked at someone walking by. She did not attack anyone and never left the yard.

That was enough for her to be taken.

Now she is sitting in a cage after a lifetime with her family.

Lucy is not dangerous. She is a senior dog who deserves to spend her final years with the family who loves her.

📞 PLEASE TAKE ACTION - COURT DATE IS MAY 8

Takes 10 seconds. Please call:

I’m asking that Lucy be returned to her owner immediately.”

If you see a dog in these conditions, offer to buy it. Drug addicts will sell their dogs for cheap. Bring the dog somewhere it will be cared for. Do it today.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Ridglan Farms is one of the worst dog abusing corporations. It breeds and sells beagles for the most sadistic, gratuitous dog experiments.

The conditions are putrid and illegal, yet Wisconsin officials protect it. These heroes are there this morning, trying to rescue them:

I’m begging… please just SHARE my posts, just one share could reach that one person who really see my heart and want to help me
Please don’t scroll past.
Sharing saves lives. 🐾

This rescue is not just about beagle pups.

If our nation can’t protect defenseless dogs suffering criminal abuse, we are done. There’s nothing left for us to trust.

But if we can, and we build from this, something remarkable will happen.

Our nation will be kinder to us all.

[Wayne Hsiung @waynehhsiung]

All over the country, authorities refuse to protect defenseless pups. This must end.

If the government won’t rescue the pups, we will.

❤️ HUGE THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has shared and is still sharing Cruz!

Everyone is shocked that he is still in the shelter.

If you commented, quote posted, or simply did a repost... you are helping (even if it doesn't feel like it). It's helping a sweet Kangal mix who has been waiting since New Years Eve get seen.

Thank you for making a difference. 🙏❣️ 🐾

I was arrested last week for rescuing 22 dogs from animal experimentation facility Ridglan Farms. I just called them to tell them we’re coming back to rescue them all despite their legal threats. Here’s why.

💔 “George wants to keep living.” 💔

A shelter volunteer shared this heartbreaking plea for George:

“George is a happy boy. He loves to play fetch. He wants to keep living. Please, someone open room for him.”

[Leisha @LoneStarChica]

I don’t believe there is enough time left to rally the kind of public awareness needed to #SaveAtlas.

We will try. But with the State Court of Appeals hearing on the 30th, time is not on his side.

And that is a hard thing to say.

But I do want to say this, to @CityofBedfordtx , @TarrantCountyTX , Dan Cogan, Mayor of Bedford, the Tarrant County Judge @TimothyOHare , Municipal Court Judge Timothy Murphy, Judge Jennifer Rymell, and the @BedfordTXPD :

Euthanasia should be the very LAST option when it comes to a family pet.

Not the first. Not the default. Not the outcome when there are still other paths available.

There are alternatives.

Secure containment.
Muzzle requirements.
Strict leash and control laws.
Behavioral training and rehabilitation.
Independent evaluations.
Liability insurance.
Transfer to qualified rescues or sanctuaries.
Court-ordered compliance measures.

These are real options. They are used every day. They protect the public without taking a life.

Once euthanasia is carried out, there is no appeal. No correction. No second chance.

No matter what happens next in this case, I hope those in positions of authority take a step back and ask:

Was every possible alternative truly considered?

[Wayne Hsiung @waynehhsiung]

The DA in the Ridglan case is saying he has not received a "referral" to investigate Ridglan's criminal abuse. This is a lie. This is a letter sent to the DA by state inspectors outlining surgical mutilations performed on dogs—without vets or even anesthesia. See the last line.

[Desiree @DesireeAmerica4]

Former 'Baywatch' star Alexandra Paul and 20 others were arrested for breaking into a Wisconsin farm to free beagles bred for biomedical research.

​Remember the absolute national meltdown a few years ago when it was exposed that Dr. Fauci and the NIH were funding experiments on beagle puppies?

The public was furious. Yet, years later, massive breeding facilities supplying these exact types of labs are still operating completely legally.

​If the entire country already agreed that government-funded beagle testing went too far, how are these facilities still legally untouchable today?
