RIP SWEET KAMEA


She is now free. Her life was spent entertaining the paying public in captivity enclosed inside her prison.
She should have been free in the oceans. She did not live a free life as an orca should have. Shame on SeaWorld San Antonio, shame on those who exploited her!

How can people be so cruel?

Bird Aid, East Sussex

Can you be the first one to donate to our Summer Gulls campaign? https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/summergulls
With over 100 babies already admitted, we need your help to keep our doors open for as many as possible.

It's the nesting season with dozens and dozens of chicks falling from roofs and/or being orphaned. Bird Aid (sanctuary in East Sussex) is currently homing a 100+ babies and they eat a lot. Could you possible donate to this charity as they cannot exist without the public's help? Even a donation of £2 (you don't have to give a tip to justgiving) will feed a few of them for a day. Without donations, these chicks will die.

Thank you.

@shyvas I think the cruelty of a zoo isn't as obvious to most people as a slaughterhouse, hunting, or a rodeo- but if you've tried to explain it to them, I don't know why they'd bring it up.

It's only because the person thinks that vegans are extremists and that we should tolerate meat eaters. The person also thinks that people who support animal entertainment i.e. zoos, theme parks etc are doing no harm.

I could go on as even one of my neighbours who knows that I'm an activist, will go out of his way to tell me that he goes fishing every day. I actually saw him and his gf leaving with a huge cooler box today. He says that veganism is BS and that demos are useless etc.

This is more or less the general attitude towards animals, that I witness regularly and it's becoming very exhausting mentally.
 

Mexico City — Mexico City lawmakers on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to ban violent bullfighting, triggering outrage from aficionados and celebration from animal rights advocates. The legislation, approved by a 61-1 vote, prohibits the killing of bulls and the use of sharp objects that could injure the animals. It also sets time limits on how long bulls can be in the ring, all part of an initiative dubbed "bullfighting without violence."

Well its a start…..

When people say that they don't have time or don't know how to help; this proves otherwise:

''Australia’s oldest man, at 110, spent his final years knitting sweaters for injured penguins. Not for attention. Not for reward. Just because he could—and because they needed warmth.
This isn’t just a story about penguins. It’s a lesson in purpose. No act of kindness is ever too small, and no life stage too late to offer love. Studies show that giving, even in old age, keeps us mentally and emotionally vibrant.
So ask yourself: What can you give to the world today, even if it’s small, even if it’s quiet? Maybe that’s the most powerful thing of all.''
