California just listed mountain lions as threatened & livestock producers aren’t happy. But a 2013 study found when cougar hunting increased, complaints & livestock depredations rose by 36-240%. To save Mountain Lions we need to support whole foods animal-free meals. youtube.com/shorts/XRFdC...

Can a calf with a cleft palate survive? The University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine told Iowa Farm Sanctuary that Herbie could not be saved. Iowa Farm Sanctuary refused to accept that conclusion and gave him a chance. #VetMed #OneHealth #vetschool youtube.com/shorts/9Htr5...

Most Americans already support strong protections for animals, but they think they’re alone. A national survey of 2,074 adults found widespread support, with people underestimating each other by 20–30 points. That silence benefits corporations.

Can you call it conservation if you’re selling the animals as snacks? I went to Gatorland to investigate why a "protection" park is profiting from alligator meat and body parts. See how these lives are ended for it: youtube.com/shorts/Bx5eF... #Wildlife #Gatorland #Florida #ExoticLeather

Disturbing veterinary training at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine includes repeatedly anesthetizing healthy ponies so students can perform multiple unrelated surgical procedures over more than a week. Watch the full video here: youtube.com/shorts/c2RD3...

For the first time in Europe, researchers detected antibodies against avian influenza in a dairy cow after cats became ill at the facility. This challenges repeated claims that spillover was rare and raises questions about delayed testing and corporate responsibility. youtube.com/shorts/hs9sq...

In 2026, a public veterinary school plans to end the lives of healthy horses due to a policy misunderstanding that never existed. This is not effective training and it is not an efficient use of public resources. youtube.com/shorts/sYN6K...

Is Université de Montréal Faculty of Veterinary Medicine teaching students using the most effective methods? We found the school was still relying on an outdated curriculum that does not align with the AAVMC guidelines. #vetmed #vetschool #veterinarian #onehealth youtube.com/shorts/Hma__...

Veterinary students ask me how to avoid slaughterhouse rotations. I tell them they should go. These opportunities are disappearing because corporations benefit when fewer veterinarians witness what animals experience. Full video here 👉 youtube.com/shorts/409mr...

Across the United States, more than 113 million pigs are killed using carbon dioxide gas chambers. Decades of research show that CO₂ exposure causes air hunger, panic, and prolonged physiological distress before loss of consciousness. Yet these chambers have now become a routine method of slaughter.

Outdated teaching methods, such as the use of terminal laboratories in veterinary schools, are no longer acceptable. Our priority must be effective training that creates confident veterinarians with real-world experience in patient care, client communication, and post-operative management.

Dr. Crystal Heath says it plainly: Pro–animal research groups are lobbying hard to protect the system. Meanwhile, those who know what happens inside the labs stay quiet for fear of retaliation. #animaltesting #vetmed #vetstudent #veterinarian #vetschool

Help us raise awareness about the most common pig slaughter method in the United States. The industry relies on keeping these methods concealed to protect consumer trust and confidence in their product. #veterinarian #vetstudent #vetschool #publichealth #animalwelfare youtu.be/-d2mPv1dp6M

Vet student Larrea Cottingham shares one of the coolest animal facts out there: opossums — America’s only marsupial — can’t get rabies (except in very rare cases). Their naturally low body temperature makes them inhospitable to the virus. youtube.com/shorts/iMqJU...

A new Newsweek story highlights a case every veterinarian recognizes: an injured kitten, clear medical need—met with financial barriers, policy obstacles, and a system that defaults to euthanasia instead of care. #OurHonor #Veterinarian #VetMed #Veterinarians #sheltervet

In vet school, Dr. Moni Ramirez began rescuing stray dogs and cats, but quickly realized the shelters were forced to euthanize animals simply for lack of space. 💔 That’s when she dedicated her life to spay and neuter work, performing up to 40 surgeries a day. youtube.com/shorts/rkusN...
