Having recognised the ongoing crisis of puppy farming in Ireland, Fieldfisher have prepared this paper on a pro bono basis. The paper suggests practical, measured and effective reforms to Irish legislation and international law in an effort to bring about change in this area. The paper is a really important and insightful read for anyone with an interest in seeing Ireland create a well resourced regulatory framework for the welfare of dogs. #puppyfarms #legalreform #probono

Our deepest motivation stems from self-awareness and our connection to the natural world. Until you decide to give back to the animals and forge a symbiotic bond with nature, you'll continue to feel an emptiness and a sense of despair. Nature is the essence of life, providing us with vitality and sustenance. Yet, if you sense something lacking, it's because you haven't yet nurtured a meaningful connection to it. When you engage in serving animals, you confront your own struggles and are compelled to confront them head-on. This may be why some shy away from nature and animal welfare – they fear seeing their own hardships mirrored in the eyes of creatures. However, in truth, animals offer us insight into ourselves and our existence. So, when will you choose to take charge of your own destiny? Until you embrace the act of serving animals, you haven't truly made that choice. If this resonates with you, then People that Plants: Creating Community one Charity at a Time is the perfect membership for you. Comment "ME," and I'll assist you in cultivating that connection so you can join us as a member today. I eagerly anticipate fostering a deeper connection with you. Warm regards, Tanja Andersen 💛 . . #ServeTheAnimals #AnimalSanctuary #WildlifeCommunity #NatureConnection #SustainableLiving

Here’s a reality check for you today on Adopt a Shelter Pet Day... Did you know that dog and cat adoption rates have plummeted over the last five years, leading to an alarming increase in the unnecessary killing of adoptable pets? According to Best Friends data, in 2023, adoption numbers were down by more than 300,000 from 2019, which resulted in over 400,000 pets not finding homes. There’s a very simple solution to the problem and achieving a no-kill animal shelter system in the U.S. — if just 6% more Americans adopt instead of shop, we can end the killing of healthy shelter pets due to overcrowding. If you are in New York today, try to stop by Times Square for a unique pop-up event where you can meet and adopt your new best friend in a living room setting. Thanks to the generous support of Blue Buffalo and Walmart, all adoption fees at Best Friends locations are waived during May and June. It’s very simple to take action now—adopt, donate, or become an advocate. Together with Best Friends, we can help transform the lives of thousands of pets waiting for a chance at a loving home. I highly recommend taking a break today and visiting bfas.org/home to learn more about the 'Bring Love Home' campaign and discover how you can be part of this vital movement. #AdoptDontShop #BringLoveHome #BestFriendsAnimalSociety #PetAdoption #NoKill2025

After social media backlash, Tractor Supply Company has recently issued a press release stating that the company will: ➡️“Eliminate DEI roles and retire our current DEI goals while still ensuring a respectful environment” ➡️“Further focus on rural America priorities including ag education, animal welfare, veteran causes and being a good neighbor and stop sponsoring nonbusiness activities like pride festivals and voting campaigns” This follows a statement from 2021, when the TSC CEO said he hoped to address multiple long-term DEI initiatives. What are your thoughts on companies walking back on their DEI commitments? Leave a comment and let us know 💭 #DEI #DiversityEquityInclusion #DEICurrentEvents #TractorSupplyCompany
