The Everything Animal Thread

Such a vile man. I hope he get's a lengthy prison sentence.

''A Florida man is standing trial on a felony animal cruelty charge for beating an iguana to death because it bit him on the arm, after a judge rejected his "stand your ground" defense.

Prosecutors say Patterson "savagely beat, tormented, tortured, and killed" the 3-foot (1-meter) iguana in a half-hour attack caught on surveillance video. Prosecutor Alexandra Dorman said that "at no time was the iguana posing any real threat" to Patterson last September and he "was not justified in his actions when he kicked this defenseless animal at least 17 times causing its death."

A necropsy, though, showed the iguana had a lacerated liver, broken pelvis and internal bleeding, which were "painful and terrifying" injuries, prosecutors contend.''

This makes me so happy :

The lives of a mother pig and her 10 piglets have been spared after thousands of people campaigned for their safety. The sow had escaped from a nearby farm to give birth.

A dog walker discovered the pig feeding her babies, who are estimated to be around 3-weeks-old, in a wooded area in Nottinghamshire.


She contacted Brinsley Animal Rescue. The charity, which has named the pig Matilda, requested to take the pigs to safety rather than returning them to the farm where they would be slaughtered. Volunteers from the charity had been bringing the pig food and water while they waited for a response.

Brinsley Animal Rescue began a petition to help save the animals from slaughter. More than 5,000 people signed it within a day. Additionally, many pledged to boycott Marks & Spencer until it allowed for the release of the animals. Today, the charity was granted permission to rescue the pigs.

The pigs are being taken to Surge Sanctuary, where they will live out the rest of their lives.
The sanctuary has only been operating for one year but is already home to more than 100 rescued animals.

I wish that more of these gorgeous animals could escape :

Four piglets escaped recently from a British Columbia farm (Canada), travelling over seven kilometres before they were recaptured – to be returned to the farm and eventually sent to slaughter.

 
A pig farm supplying UK supermarket giant Morrisons has been shut down after an investigation uncovered a ‘serious’ health risk to the public.

Leading vegan charity, Viva! is behind the shocking discovery that also saw ‘disturbing’ examples of animal cruelty.
