"... the first insects to be granted legal rights anywhere in the world..."

Cruel and barbaric. #animalwelfare

Progress. #animalwelfare #animalrights

Bipartisan bill introduces to ban mink farming in the US. First thought - GREAT!, second thought - we still farm mink in the US? 🤦 #animalrights #animalwelfare

Eight states in the US have adopted laws to ban the sale of dogs, cats and other live animals. Can NJ be the ninth? #animalwelfare #animalrights

At the end of each year, FDA releases data on antibiotics sold for use in livestock. It usually changes a few %. This year, it went up 15.8%. I was shocked & emailed experts/industry groups. Likeliest explanation per a source: industry is not "being good stewards of antibiotics"

Craigslist founder Craig Newmark signs the Giving Pledge donating majority of wealth to charities - including pigeon rescue. 😊🙌

Fur exports fell over 75% from 2013-2023, over 20 countries now have bans or severe restrictions on fur ‘production’. #animalwelfare #animalrights

They called this roadside zoo an 'ecology site', it was a prison for animals that were left without proper care and thankfully will be shutting down in 2026. If you see the word 'zoo' in any form, run. #animalrights #animalwelfare

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “I’ve learned that humans are far from the only species intelligent and complex enough to develop a form of language and culture,” the whale biologist David Gruber writes.

Raising Cane's, a fast food chicken chain that kills millions of chickens a year, is selling plush toys to raise money for animal welfare. Make it make sense. 🤦 #animalrights #animalwelfare

Dogs are constantly killed, raped and abused on Los Angeles' Skid Row. Some are bred for puppies and sold for money. Local advocates have called for action for years, I hope this puts a dent into the long standing terror these poor animals have endured. #animalrights #animalwelfare

Disappointing. This has been going on for 150 years, horses do not belong on NYC streets, please don't ever patronize carriage drivers. It's not romantic, it's incredibly cruel. #animalwelfare #animalrights

Amazing work being done by the @projectceti.bsky.social team!

Some really big news dropped in animal rights world last week that was made possible only by extremely competent activism—a top breeder of dogs for lab experimentation will shut down. So I wrote about it and what it means and says about science, etc. gift link: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

A zoo in Argentina shut down in 2020, the animals were left behind. A group of zookeepers who lost their jobs fed them for years. Five years later, the animals are finally being rescued and relocated. Over and over, zoos and aquariums abandon animals. #animalwelfare #boycottzoos

The cost of horse racing in Australia, a dead horse every other day for a year straight. Unreal. #animalwelfare

American Airlines: ‘sorry we couldn’t do a second beverage service due to turbulence on this flight.’ Also American Airlines five minutes later. ‘A flight attendant will be coming down the aisle with brochures asking you to sign-up for our credit card’

Some of the most important work that's ever been done for animal rights. Follow @nonhumanrights.bsky.social.

Renault declared its intention to remove animal leather interiors from its entire global range by the end of the year. 🚗🌱 #cars #renault #leather #vegannews #vegan

The ban of Central Park horse drawn carriages may finally happen. There are just 68 medallions that allow someone to operate a horse carriage and they sell for upwards of $300,000. I look forward to them all going to $0. #animalrights #animalwelfare

Close them all. #animalrights #animalwelfare

Guys! We’re winning! Signed, a loon.

California signs AB 519 banning online marketplaces where dogs are sold by brokers (defined as person that sells or transports a dog bred by someone else for profit). Law applies to dogs, cats and rabbits under a year old, provides an exemption for shelters and rescues. #animalwelfare #animalrights

California makes it official with Assembly Bill 867, outlawing the declawing of cats. #animalrights #animalwelfare 🐈

Close them all. #animalrights #animalwelfare

I can’t get my head around 160,000 people anywhere wanting to kill a bear let alone in one state, JFC. #animalwelfare

Two years ago, I helped develop and pass the first U.S. law recognizing a right for a nonhuman animal—elephants’ right to liberty. 🐘 It remains one of the proudest moments of my career and a major victory in the Nonhuman Rights Project’s work to secure fundamental rights for nonhuman animals.

Roadside zoos are a horror for the imprisoned animals that reside there. Never patronize these facilities. #animalrights #animalwelfare

@profgalloway.com THANK YOU for your comments on today's show about rescue dogs. I've never been prouder to be a fan of Pivot.

The most depressing retail experience there is - seeing these poor betas in a cup of water in pet stores. #animalwelfare #animalrights

Boycott zoos. Roadside zoos, big zoos, little zoos, all zoos. #animalwelfare #animalrights

“Eliminating carriage horses also goes against famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted’s vision for the park..” - NYC Carriage Driver Ah yes, let’s cite the opinion of a person who barely lived to see the advent of automobiles. 😂 End this cruel outdated nonsense. #endcarriagehorses

Few cities anywhere in the world have led like West Hollywood, CA in animal welfare - this week they voted to extend their retail ban on dog and cat sales to include nearly all live animals. 👏 #animalwelfare #animalrights

Let’s say the quiet part out loud, the cruelty and torture that pigs suffer happens at every farm raising them for food, not just this one. #animalrights #animalwelfare

👀 #animalrights #animalwelfare

Animal welfare advocates are calling for the release of an elephant named Joyce from Six Flags Great Adventure and Wild Safari in Jackson Township, N.J. She was born in 1983 in the wild, captured in 1984 and sold into a life of cruelty the same year. #freeJoyce #animalrights #animalwelfare

Could this finally be the momentum we've been waiting for?! The Central Park Conservancy, the non-profit that manages Central Park, is supporting Ryder’s Law, a pending bill that would prohibit horse carriages from operating in NYC and urging other leaders to support the ban. #animalwelfare

@profgalloway.com PLEASE come back, we’re already spending 20 mins a show talking about the junior editor from 1987 at the Washington Post and other people NO ONE knows!

The inability to find price parity with traditional proteins will continue to push consolidation in plant-based foods. #daring #v2food #ajinomoto #plantbased

Horse drawn carriages in NYC are cruel and a relic of the past that are complete unnecessary, please don't ever patronize these businesses. #animalwelfare #animalrights

I got it! Let’s put an animal who has 100s of square miles in their natural habitat in a shoebox and then ask the public for live pets to simulate ‘reality’ for them. JFC 🤦🏻

The downfall of fur can be attributed to a confluence of factors - I’ve always felt the social taboo associated with fur was like taking about driving drunk or not wearing a seatbelt - it fell into a category that made you a pariah. @kennytorrella.bsky.social does it again here - bravo!

This is good stuff - Monty’s cashew cream cheese 🥯 👍 #plantbased

The price of pet care has risen dramatically. A Bank of America Institute report found that since 2019, prices of services like veterinary care and grooming have gone up 42%, with the cost of goods like food and treats surging 22%.

Actor Casey Affleck appeals to Massachusetts legislators to prohibit separating infant primates from their mothers during "research". This torture is done by Harvard neuroscientist Margaret Livingstone and includes sewing baby primates eyes shut. 250+ scientists condemn the work. #animalwelfare

Target 🎯stores agreed in 2012 to stop sourcing pork from farms that confine pregnant pigs in gestation, then in 2016 committed to selling only cage-free eggs by 2025. They've done neither. #animalwelfare #animalrights

"Horse-drawn carriages have plied Central Park and the city's streets for over 150 years." ... and it can't stop a minute too soon. Horse drawn carriage rides are nothing but animal cruelty and abuse for the horses, and sometimes they die because of it. #animalrights #animalwelfare
