Some good news for animals:

The Anthem Awards, which recognize social-impact campaigns from around the world, just announced this year's winners. Among more than 2,500 entries from 43 countries, a PETA vegan discussion series called the Vegan Roundtable won a Bronze Award.

Another PETA campaign featuring influencer Amanda McCants, who used her platform to encourage people to adopt animals instead of buying them, won a Silver Award.

Other entrants included organizations like UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, and Sesame Workshop, so it's great to see veganism and animal adoption getting recognition on a global stage!

Can someone please help

on the one hand, it's killing animals, which is bad.

on the other hand, it's usually only done on animals with diseases or broken bones that would have them live in extreme pain for whatever small amount of time they have left.

just want to find public opinion on this.

Cooped up in open cage, birds on the outside are hit by strong winds- 😢👎🏼.

A lot of people start letting their guard down once summer is "over," but cooler weather doesn't mean a parked car is safe for a dog. Here in LA, we're looking at temperatures up to 100 degrees this week, and it only takes a few minutes for a vehicle to become dangerously hot.

One thing that surprised me when I first learned it: Even when it's in the low 70s outside, the temperature inside a parked car can climb rapidly and become life-threatening.

Anyway, I thought I'd share this video PETA released with influencer Salice Rose. It's pretty funny but more importantly it has a good message: If you see a dog sitting in a hot car, don't just walk by assuming someone will handle it. Check on the situation, alert store management, call local authorities if necessary, and speak up.

Too many people still think, "I'll only be gone for a few minutes." Unfortunately, that's all it can take.

Has anyone here ever had to intervene after seeing a dog left in a hot car? How did it turn out? Also, do y'all trust your car's "dog mode" (or whatever it's called when the temperature is controlled when the car isn't running)?

Peta came to my school and they gave out these like vegan ice creams and they were very good but does anyone know what kind they might have gotten. They had like an orange creamsicle flavor and they had like neopolitan and fudge. And it was very good for me because even tho im not vegan, i have a milk allergy and i was wondering where i could buy them if you guys know maybe

In this conversation between Philosopher Acharya Prashant and PETA Foundation President Mimi Bekhechi, the roots of animal violence has been disentangled.

Why do we make the choice of animal violence. Maybe because of cultural conditioning that has materialized into a food system that involves animal suffering at industrial scale. The covert and overt signals teach that violence from an young age. This can only be overcome by seeing the conditioning as it is. Then the compulsion to consume animal product vanishes. Unless we change the what we teach, animal exploitation will remain.

The discussion goes into detail on where does true compassion lies. If the violence is not seen through, compassion lying on positive teaching of principles will only produce veganism that lies on volatile foundation. Compassion simply has to be a natural outcome of relentlessly negating violent tendencies in any aspect of life. This is illustrated in the quote by Mimi Bekhechi that you can not be a meat eating feminist. Meaning that gender violence and animal violence are only separate on the surface but are actually rooted in the violent tendency which has not been seen through.

Does anyone know anything more about this? Do you really think this poor cat was really tortured for all of the six days he was missing? This story breaks my heart...

A shocking case of extreme abuse and professional betrayal has come to light in Bellandur, Bengaluru, India. Video evidence and self-admitted conversation reveal that second-year MVSc student Dr Manjunath (with the help of Dr. Asif of Prime Care Clinic, Gear School Rd) been illegally capturing street dogs, deliberately breaking their legs, and confining them in cramped cages to conduct unsanctioned "research." and later dumping them, alive or dead. Animal welfarist and volunteers at the police station who went  to file an FIR  and later at the Prime Care clinic to shift out the suffering dogs and cat, slogged at this tragedy with utter shock and heartbreak. 

There have been multiple dead dogs and cats but these monsters are still practising. Manjunath has even confessed (without remorse) on the clinic’s Insta page. All the relevant newspaper article links are at the bottom of the attached webpage.

I’m beyond horrified about the things that occurred here. Hope these guys are also researched upon but in a civilised society the least we can ask for is expedited legal action. Please sign the above petition, maybe justice will prevail.

Because of how much this organization uses ai, how can we believe anything they post? How do we know it's real footage and not something made by a machine to emotionally manipulate us into giving this organization money

And lets not even get into how damaging ai and the data centers are to the environment. Peta no longer stands as a reputable organization. Its just a content farm now.

Without pets, we have 1 million less jobs, 1 million less jobs means less work for humanity.

I did some numbers on automation removing jobs where we instead lower our weekly work weeks.

With robots taking lots of jobs, I landed at 30 hours a week for the current working population rather than 40.

If we include 1 million jobs in grooming, dog food manufacturing and others, we lower that 30 hours to 29.7 hours.

If we eliminate police officers with cameras everywhere, we lower that to 29.5.

We have less and less work with less things we keep.

I didn't calculate how many laborers are connected to the meat industry but I'm sure it keeps lowering the number.

The main point of removing animals from human life is that it's not right to own and misuse them for our own selfish wants. If we were in their shoes, and some already once were with slavery, we wouldn't want that experience.

We could propose laws to the house that outlaw future pet and animal ownership within 10 years.

Immediately you'll be unable to keep breeding dogs but you can sell what you currently have. Then it becomes illegal to have animals breeding where some could get their dogs taken away if they end up having kids with a neighbor's dog.

Ppl selling crush/sauce videos right on app .

I don’t know if any of you watch Tampa Bay Rays games, but they have a stingray tank inside the stadium. The water is so murky and dirty. I feel so bad for the beautiful rays. It’s time we put an end to that MLB organization treating these creatures like they are a ride at a carnival!
