The gas chamber campaign is leaving the London Underground for now. Not because the industry fixed anything. We're just making room for the next one, starting Monday. Guess what's next ๐Ÿ‘‡ #DontBuytIt #EndFactoryFarming #ProjectSlingshot

A Sea Lion was found tangled up and trapped by plastic ring digging deep into its neck. The female Stellerโ€™s sea lion, a protected species, was spotted tangled up in the plastic loop near the port town of Nevelsk on Russiaโ€™s Sakhalin Island. Photos show the animal resting on a breakwater rock alongside other sea lions as a rescue boat carrying a team of specialists approaches.ย  metro.co.uk/2026/06/12/sea-lโ€ฆ

This time next week, Team member Cathy would have crawled into her bed, exhausted, after a gruelling day of walking non stop! She'll have blisters, she will be in pain. Her legs will be wobbly! Please help support her with a little donation if you can ๐Ÿ™ donorbox.org/walk-to-save-thโ€ฆ

A civilised society doesn't design & mass produce killing machines, force breed billions of animals, treat them as mere commodities, then funnel them into these killing machines. A vegan world can't come soon enough ๐ŸŒฑ

Beak guards exist for one reason: the shooting industry crams millions of pheasants into conditions so stressful that they injure each other. Instead of giving birds more space, it clips plastic restraints onto their beaks. The problem isn't the birds. It's the system.

Deadly floods and landslides on the Indonesian island of Sumatra in 2025 wiped out at least seven per cent of the critically endangered Tapanuli orangutan population, a new report has revealed. At least 58 of these rare primates, which are endemic to north Sumatra's Batang Toru forest, perished in the disaster.

"Their silence is not consent" just might be the single most under-appreciated fact of the matter.
๐Ÿ“ข A voiceless horse is being forced to carry heavy loads up to the 6th floor of a building. Step after step, it climbs in silence, unable to say "I'm tired" or "I'm in pain. Animals feel pain, fear, exhaustion, and suffering just like we do. Their silence is not consent. No living being should be treated like a machine for human convenience. This is blatant animal cruelty. Authorities must intervene immediately, rescue the animal from further suffering, and take appropriate legal action against those responsible. @Manekagandhibjp @pfaindia @animalwelfareb1 @Dept_of_AHD #AnimalCruelty #HorseAbuse #AnimalWelfare #StopAnimalCruelty

This is Mutobo, the Silverback Gorilla. He is dismantling a poachers snare. Gorillas have not only learned to recognize traps, but have begun to disarm them as well to keep others safe.

Yet another reason to go vegan. Wild horses are being killed by cattle ranchers because they compete for grazing land.

Great work rescuing this calf ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Yet it never ceases to bewilder me how so many people care enough about baby cows to save them from a ditch, but not not enough to save them from the slaughterhouse.
A campervan traveling through the Scottish Highlands was completely blocked by a herd of Highland cows. At first, people thought the cows were just being curious, but they soon realized the animals were actually asking for help. A calf was missing ๐Ÿ’–โœจ The men immediately got out, followed the herd along the road, and found the calf trapped in a deep roadside ditch. The group worked together to pull the exhausted calf to safety and reunite it with its mother and the herd. The moment the calf was reunited was incredibly heartwarming! ๐Ÿ’—

Barney, Chunk, Rambo & Brandon relaxing in their barn. This Barn has been the first place they could ever call home & feel safe. It's kept them safe for 6 years but now it's being sold. We must buy it to keep the boars safe for the rest of their lives๐Ÿ™ donorbox.org/gandalf-needs-hโ€ฆ

Who clears up the Beaufort's bloody mess? Well in this video it is the pathetic Bin Bag Betty who removes the black sack with the slaughtered fox's entrails. But later, they are helped to bin the crimes by a police officer who steals the evidence, 1/3๐Ÿงต

If only all piglets were this lucky ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿท Tragically most will have their tails docked, their testicles pulled out without anaesthetic, their days endured in hellish factory farms, and their lives ended in an agony in gas chambers. Support sanctuaries, not the meat industry ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ

An increasing number of hedgehogs covered in what is believed to be paint or nail varnish are being rescued, a Kent wildlife charity has said. Dottie's Little Hog Hospital in Herne Bay said it had seen five cases in the past month. "It's really worrying. We've had it a few times in the past, but nothing like the regularity we're getting at the moment," volunteer rescuer Rosie Fisher said. Paint can be toxic for the animals, and the bright colours make them more vulnerable to predators, she added. Most recently, the charity rescued a female hedgehog, which Rosie said was "marked in at least nine places with four different colours". She said that she believed that the paint covering was deliberate. "We think it's probably people seeing hedgehogs in their garden and thinking that it's their hedgehog and marking it," she said. After finding the fifth painted hedgehog in a month, the charity reached out to other wildlife charities to see if they had noticed a similar trend. "They've said they found it too, in certain places," Fisher added. 'Toxic fumes' Dottie's Little Hog Hospital has released its most recent rescued hedgehog. However, Fisher has urged the public not to mark hedgehogs with paint or varnish. "It will be toxic to the hedgehog, the fumes will affect the hedgehog," she said. She said that the fumes could also confuse mothers, leading them to reject their babies. "There's nothing we can do," she said. "We can't use white spirit or nail varnish remover or anything like that." She explained that hedgehog spines eventually fall out, similar to human hair. Until then, she said that the paint can be painful on their skin. "Don't do it. They're wild animals," Fisher said. If anyone wanted to monitor the animals in their garden, she said that wildlife cameras were a minimally invasive alternative.

A society that sees sentient living, breathing animals as mere commodities to be mass bred and systematically, ruthlessly exploited โ€“ to the point that they far outnumber the humans who kill, dismember and eat them โ€“ is about as unethical as it is possible for a society to be.
