Droxine Sanchez with the polar bear she hunted in the Arctic Circle. It seems vermin are even in the North Pole and walk with 2 legs. 🤬

If animals could talk, the world would be filled with tears… And perhaps also with shame.

@UtzSnacks I just opened a bag of your BBQ chips. As usual it was a bag of bits and pieces. I’ve notified you about this before but obviously it went nowhere.

日本よ、想像してみて—ミヤコという象が、宇都宮動物園の凍えるコンクリートの檻で53年間、たった一人で過ごしている。家族もいない、草もない、遊園地の騒音に囲まれ、絶望の中でただ揺れ続けるだけ。彼女は娯楽じゃない、魂が砕けているんだ。サンクチュアリへ解放して！今すぐ！ 🐘💔 #SaveMiyako

Ils lui ont pris le plus précieux, sa liberté.
Des prisonniers sans crime, des prisons en béton avec des arbres peints.
Tu sais ce qu'il y a dans un zoo ?
La tristesse, la solitude, le manque, le désespoir, la dépression, la douleur, la mort...

It's world circus day today.
And that's nothing to be proud of. Captivity, that's what this is to amuse us. Don't go! These were once free wild elephants. I have no words. 💔🐘

Animal slavery has many ugly faces 👺

Any form of animal exploitation is a form of animal slavery.

🚨⚠️ SHARE THE HELL OUT OF THIS PAIR OF SADISTIC ANIMAL ABUSERS

Two agricultural students who launched a “sadistic” attack on a sheep, which included placing fireworks inside its mouth and body, which they then beat to death have been jailed.

Leighton Ashby, 22, and Oakley Hollands, 20, filmed the 30-minute attack on a mobile phone and kept the sheep’s ear tag as a “token”, which was later hidden inside a Monster energy can and discovered inside a communal toilet.

The duo, who were enrolled at Plumpton Agricultural College, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

Ashby was sentenced to two years behind bars, while Hollands received a 20-month sentence at a youth offender institution.

Hove Trial Centre heard that the two men had invited two of their fellow students to see a “dead badger” on the evening of 2 November 2023, with Hollands telling the group that he had been drinking alcohol while behind the wheel.

After arriving at a field near Ditchling Beacon, the group walked along a public footpath before Ashby and Hollands began to chase a sheep, eventually pinning it to the ground.

Shortly afterwards, Ashby began “swinging it from side to side” and kicked the sheep around five times to its head and torso.

When the other witnesses wanted to leave and asked for the car keys, Hollands refused and began to film the incident on his mobile phone.

At one point, the sheep appeared unable to stand due to the blows to its head, with Hollands heard shouting “go on, kill it, kill it, kill it” while laughing in the background.

Explosive devices were then inserted into the mouth and anus of the animal, leaving it severely mutilated with fatal injuries.

After the group returned to the college, Ashby was heard to tell Hollands “we need to wait a couple of weeks before we do that again”.

The duo were reported to the police after a female witness requested that Hollands send her the videos. It was also reported to college staff.

Both men have been excluded from the college as a result of their actions.

Analysis of their phones found other disturbing materials, including footage of a dead fox being dismembered and a badger being kicked on Hollands’ device.

Describing their actions as exhibiting a “worrying pattern in the mutilation and destruction of animals”, prosecutor Jordan Franks said: “This is not simply about the infliction of pain. It could have been in a different context – violence towards the sheep out of frustration, anger, showing off.

“It is the crown’s case that Mr Hollands can be heard laughing and shouting ‘kill it’. The video of the aftermath shows the blood on his hand, they keep the token of the sheep’s ear tag. There are worrying signs they took a great deal of pleasure in the suffering they caused.”

Protesters gathered outside and sat in the public gallery holding banners that called for a custodial sentence, with animal rights campaigners naming the sheep ‘Eunice’.

In a community impact statement read aloud to the court, Mr Franks said that members of the public had reacted with an “overwhelming amount of disgust” at the violence used by the two men.

Sentencing them, Judge Jeremy Gold KC said: “Quite what satisfaction you could derive from chasing sheep is difficult to understand but you caught a lamb, a Romsey ewe, which you then kicked and beat to death for your own perverse satisfaction.

“The ordeal suffered by that defenceless animal is graphically portrayed on the video footage that you took during the attack.

He continued: “As if what had already been done was not bad enough, you decided to insert fireworks into the lamb to cause further suffering and mutilation of this innocent creature.

The fact that you both come from farming backgrounds and were studying at Plumpton at the time makes your callous and frankly sadistic behaviour all the more alarming and difficult to comprehend.”

@Ask_WellsFargo when you close a checking account due to a scam & open a new one, why can’t you get access to transactions from the one you closed? Stupidest rule you have. I need to refer to a payment & have to go to the freaking bank to get the info! What the hell?? Stupid!!!

Trophy hunting is NOT conservation. New decisions at CoP20 affecting lions and leopards have been accepted. Whilst positive these still do not address the issues surrounding trophy hunting and fuelling demand for trade.
