When feds bust dogfighters, they're charged with "conspiracy." The ASPCA, the Humane Society of the United States and Best Friends Animal Society, which is a front for dogfighters, are all part of that conspiracy. Don't believe that? Here's just one example: National Dog Fighting Awareness Day is Monday, April 8. Last week, police/feds took 100+ pitbulls from eight New Jersey dogfighters, 78 pitbulls from Alabama dogfighter Carlton Adams and 73 pitbulls from California dogfighter Jorge Ayala's property. New Jersey dogfighter Bruce Low Jr. and his family/friends had been investigated since "late 2021," per 6abc-dot-com; Alabama dogfighter Carlton Adams had been investigated since September 2023, per AL-dot-com; and California dogfighter Jorge Ayala, whose "whereabouts are unknown," per NBC Bay Area, had been investigated since "early March." If you think it's a coincidence that feds decided to swoop in and rescue all these "poor, poor dogs" a few days before National Dog Fighting Awareness Day, please do not vote in the upcoming presidential election. Stay home. Smoke your weed. Eat your edibles. Drink your wine. Binge watch TV. Leave the heavy lifting to the rest of us. #animalcruelty #animalwelfare #animalrights #catsoflinkedin #kittenseason #catrescue #greed #gambling #corruption #nationaldogfightingawarenessday https://lnkd.in/gPs4x3u4

🙅♀️🐾 This Dog Bite Prevention Week, let's empower our children with the knowledge they need to stay safe around dogs. Remind them to never kiss a dog on the face, never disturb a dog who is eating or sleeping, and never tease or approach a dog without permission. If encountering a stray dog, teach your kids to "be a log, lie like a log, or stand like a tree" to avoid triggering fear or aggression. By instilling these simple guidelines, we can prevent dog bites and foster positive relationships between kids and pets. Together, we can create a safer and happier environment for all! 👉 For a Safety Around Animals Presentation contact our Community Outreach Coordinator Cameron at cameron@qcawc.org! #DogBitePreventionWeek #SafeInteractions #PetSafety #qcawc #safetyfirst #tagtheqc #quadcities #animalwelfare #humaneeducation #nonprofit #animalshelter #501c3 #dogs

Animal Ask recently published a new report exploring Shareholder Activism. 📈 What is shareholder activism?: buying the shares of corporations and leveraging the rights associated with that partial ownership. Author Max Carpendale explores the viability of this tactic for animal advocacy. 🐔 🐟 🦐 A couple of takeaways: – Shareholder activism campaigns rely on 1) some level of background public support for the reform in question or 2) some other financial or reputational advantage to the company. – Shareholder activism campaigns may work best when they are run alongside other animal advocacy campaigns also pushing for the reform in question. Any thoughts? Reach out with your comments! 🙂 Also: help us sharing the report in your network! 📢 https://lnkd.in/e6YeC9-q

I want to adopt all the shelter dogs. I just do. And, since I don't have land the size of the Yellowstone Ranch, that's not gonna happen. Instead, I donate and support the local shelter where Pluto was adopted, and I look for companies that are supporting other shelters and dog-centric initiatives to buy from. Enter Spark Paws. OMG adorable matching hoodies for humans and doggos AND they support nonprofits fighting animal cruelty and helping dogs find forever homes with each purchase. Not only do they support these organizations, but they also make it easy for people to share themselves enjoying the product. I mean, who DOESN'T want to share their adorable Frenchie, Lab, or Pittie online? No one. That's who. So there's this community element that continues to permeate through the business. ✅ They're helping local and national organizations. ✅ They create recognizable and cute AF products. ✅ Their customers create a community and plenty of User Generated Content. If you can do the same with your company, imagine how good that would feel to your customers! And customers who feel good come back for mre.

Turkey has introduced a new legislation for the removal of stray dogs from the streets to be captured and killed.😢 The law is controversial and has sparked widespread outrage and protests across the country. According to one survey, 3 per cent of citizens are in support, while 80 per cent want the dogs to be put in shelters. Some countries are calling for a boycott of travel to Turkey! 🙌 Effective strategies for managing stray dog populations include spay and neuter programs, community education, and adoption initiatives. Spay and neuter programs help control the population growth, while community education raises awareness about responsible pet ownership. Adoption initiatives can provide homes for stray dogs, reducing their numbers on the streets. It is not right for humans to kill homeless dogs. Every dog (homeless or not) deserves to live! ❤️ Do you have suggestions? If so, please share below! These dogs cannot speak for themselves. They need our human voices to speak up for them and protect them. 🙏
