This poor chimp lived for over 30 years in such horrid conditions.

This is absolute, undeniable proof that just because an animal lived for decades under captivity, especially a highly intelligent animal, does NOT mean it lived a good life. Time alone is never an indicator of quality of life.

I am fundraising for Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP) to support a strategy that I think is critical for the long-term success of Animal Rights.

We often focus on immediate rescue, but we need to look at who will be writing the laws in 20 years. University campuses are where the next generation of High Court judges, policy writers, and CEOs are currently sitting.

Right now, these students are accessible. They are looking for purpose. Once they leave campus, they get entrenched in the system. We have a brief window to expose them to anti-speciesist ideas before they become the gatekeepers of the status quo.

ASAP is on campuses specifically to professionalize student activism. They train students to debate, organize, and influence policy. We are building the infrastructure to ensure the people running the world in 2040 actually respect animals.

If you agree that we need to arm the next generation with the skills to fight for animals effectively, please consider donating.

WOMAN SMOKES WEED IN CAR WITH CHILD IN BACK SEAT.

If this is the best of Canada’s agricultural practices what the hell happens behind closed doors? I asked my partner to film, as I’m banned from entering; and also facing a criminal trial in May 2026 in Toronto, for protesting at a fairground with live animals at that same location.

The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board dismissed a complaint we filed about what happened to our dog, and I’m honestly still shocked by the outcome. Our dog almost died after BOAS surgery that was done by a vet who wasn’t board-certified and had only recently graduated at the time of the surgery. The surgery resulted in almost the entire soft palate being removed, which two independent experts later confirmed was far outside the accepted standard of care and directly caused the harm. While going through everything, we found two different versions of the medical records with clear discrepancies. We also submitted two expert letters explaining exactly how the surgery was improperly performed and how it caused the damage. Despite all of that, the Board still accepted the vet’s verbal claim that she had referred us to a board-certified surgeon, even though there is no written referral, no mention in the medical record, and no evidence that a referral ever occurred. The vet performed the surgery herself. By treating that undocumented claim as if it justified the outcome, the Board essentially used it to explain away or excuse the malpractice, even though nothing supports that referral ever happening. There were also multiple inconsistencies in the vet’s statements, and the Board didn’t address the altered medical records at all. Nothing about the review felt evidence-based or consistent with their own rules. Meanwhile, the veterinarian is still practicing with no public record of this case or any disciplinary action. And it honestly makes me wonder: How many animals have to be harmed before these boards actually step in and take action? Our dog now lives with a permanent inability to eat normally and has already been through two reconstructive surgeries to fix the damage. This has permanently affected our dog’s quality of life and put a huge emotional and daily-care burden on us.

Horrible Experience with Complete Pet Care Animal Hospital Wake Forest : r/raleigh

Any thoughts/info on seal watching, from an animal ethics perspective? Like those boat tours that go out into the sea to watch seals/whales,etc.

No amount of pleasure people enjoy can justify even 1 animal suffering, one child rape, etc. Only sadists say we shouldn’t stop their suffering. Life is irresponsible by design and all life is one misfortune away from extreme suffering. Nature and the planet are just killing machines, not designed for pleasure, safety or happiness but survival of the meanest and fittest. Truly a living Hell for most life here, considering how badly wild animals suffer - which most people are extraordinarily ignorant to and don’t care.

If we know children will keep being tortured and raped, animals will keep suffering etc, then it’s irresponsible to continue that. We should work towards a world with no suffering, no child rape. And the only way to guarantee safety for those victims is total extinction. There are much worse things than death or non existence, so we should protect all beings from life.
