Heartstone Sanctuary faces an urgent crisis. Please donate.

(I'm not the original poster, I'm sharing it. Feel free to repost this wherever.)

To comply legally and ensure the safety of their large, strong rescue residents - most of whom outlive typical farm cows because most cows don’t live to 25 since most are slaughtered between a few moments old and 5 years old.

Their infrastructure must be built from scratch. Standard equipment is inadequate for animals over 1,000kg. Due to unfinished work and limited donor support, they face a strict deadline to create a specialised handling area. Sadly the rescued cows will be “seized and terminated” if the regs don’t comply within the deadline.

Immediate needs:

• Safety: a customised, steel-reinforced handling system for veterinary care and health checks.

• Repairs: finishing the main shed roof for safety and weatherproofing.

• Welfare: installing automatic drinkers to meet updated regulations.

How to help:

• Donations: every pound directly supports specialised labour and construction.

• Sharing: spread the word to attract donors or tradespeople. Post, reshare, and amplify their cause.

Let’s save these beautiful cows together.

Thank you to @billieeilish for speaking the fuck up for the animals 🌱💚

You can’t love all animals and eat them, too. It’s basic logic.

We all need to spread awareness for what is happening to these animals in factory farms. These animals are being slaughtered and tortured by the second.

It’s People like Billie Eilish that are helping people open their eyes and finally see the truth, so that they can stop exploiting animals and therefore hopefully one day end factory farming as a whole.

Speak up.

Share messages like this.

Never stop fighting for these animals.

Go vegan.

Animal Testing Protest at 55 Union Street in Worcester, Mass.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Steve 'Chip' Brown

Email: vegan.dog.runner@gmail.com

On May 30th, animal rights advocates will hold the first in a series of peaceful protests outside a Charles River Laboratories animal testing research facility located at 55 Union Street in downtown Worcester, from noon-4. 

The protestors will be calling on the company to end canine experimentation at the facility and comply with the Massachusetts Beagle Bill (MGL c. 140 § 174D½), which requires research dogs to be offered for adoption rather than killed when no longer needed for experiments.

Charles River Laboratories — the world's largest contract animal research organization — operates active canine research laboratories occupying multiple floors at 55 Union Street. The company's own website advertises "large colonies ready for study starts" and "in vivo" drug testing services at this address.

In vivo testing means live animals are dosed with pharmaceutical compounds, monitored, and killed so their organs can be examined.

Charles River is a documented buyer of beagles from Marshall BioResources, the nation's largest commercial beagle breeding facility, which has accumulated more than 20 federal Animal Welfare Act violations since 2007. The supply chain is established: Marshall breeds them, Charles River buys them, pharmaceutical companies pay for the studies, and the dogs are killed.

Massachusetts law prohibits exactly this outcome. The Beagle Bill, signed into law in 2022, requires research facilities to offer healthy dogs for adoption once their research use ends. Charles River circumvents this requirement by mandating necropsy — requiring that all dogs be killed and dissected at study's end — thereby eliminating any legal obligation to offer them for adoption. The spirit and intent of Massachusetts law is being systematically exploited by one of the most profitable contract research organizations in the world, operating in plain sight in downtown Worcester.

Charles River is currently under civil and criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for violations of federal monkey importation laws. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is separately investigating the company for misleading shareholders about its animal supply chain. The FDA has announced a plan to phase out animal testing requirements, calling animal models an unreliable predictor of human outcomes — with more than 90 percent of drugs that pass animal studies failing in human clinical trials.

The science is broken. The law is being ignored. The dogs are dying. And most Worcester residents have no idea any of it is happening twenty feet below street level at a downtown address they pass every day.

That ends now.

Advocates are calling on Charles River Laboratories to immediately cease canine experimentation at the Worcester facility, adopt out all current research dogs to approved rescue organizations, and end its commercial relationship with Marshall BioResources.

Dog lovers, animal welfare advocates, members of the press and all groups or organizations opposing animal testing are invited to join the protest and campaign.

All individuals are welcome. Bring a sign or just bring your voice as we come together to raise community awareness about this urgent issue. 

Date: Saturday, 5/30

Time: Noon-4 

Location: 55 Union Street, Worcester, Mass.

A Vegan CEO. Animal-Free Interiors. And the Rivian R2 Configurator Is Finally Live!

If you’re on a vegan journey like I am, you might appreciate supporting companies that genuinely align with your values, and I honestly think Rivian deserves a serious look.

Their vehicles feature 100% animal-free interiors, sustainable materials, and a strong commitment to reducing environmental impact. Even more interesting to me, CEO RJ Scaringe is vegan himself. Rivian’s R1T and R1S also received PETA’s “REVolutionary Vegan Vehicle” Award for their animal-free interiors and sustainability-focused design.

What excites me most right now is the upcoming Rivian R2, a more affordable next-generation EV designed to bring Rivian’s mission to more people. The configurator is now live, and honestly, the vehicle looks incredible.

As someone who owns an Rivian R1T, I’ve become a huge fan of the company, the mission, and the driving experience. It feels good supporting a brand that is seriously thinking about sustainability, innovation, and moving beyond animal-derived materials in automotive design.

Would genuinely love to see more vegans and environmentally conscious people supporting companies that are helping move the industry in a better direction. And if anyone has questions about owning a Rivian, feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to share my experience as an owner.

Inside of a UK slaughterhouse:

WARNING: Slaughtered animals.

'You won’t believe what happens behind these walls.

This is what a slaughterhouse looks like when the cameras aren’t meant to be there. Noise, fear, blood and chaos.

Most people never see it. That’s what they want. But we’re here to make sure you see it all.'

I’ve found the puppy farmers home address.

Sorry I’m spamming a bit, I’m desperate to save these dogs and I’m hoping someone more savvy than me can make use of this information.

I’m still trying my hardest to save these poor dogs, but I’ve realised it’s not something I can do alone. 😔

Help me tank the reviews on this puppy farm

This puppy farm has Turkish Kangals, Caucasian shepherds and rottweiler pups listed for sale online, although at the time of writing Pets4Homes has t moved them.
The dogs are kept in bare concrete runs or locked away in a narrow shed, and left alone for most of the day and all night, wallowing in their own excrement. The local council says there is no evidence of sales taking place despite adverts for their puppies all over the internet and being given links and screen shots.

Please leave negative reviews to warn potential buyers. Bonus points if you encourage anyone who has bought a puppy to contact the SSPCA

Is there any real evidence that graphic videos and images deter people from being vegan?

I've thought about creating and putting up flyers displaying graphic imagery of the reality of what happens to animals in the animal agriculture (animal enslavement and torture) industry around my area.

Some might say this is a bad approach, but I can't see how it would be.
If anything, I think it's a solid approach.

In Earthing Ed's most popular YouTube video, where he is giving a lecture at a school, he says people have an aversion to seeing graphic imagery because, according to them, it will put them off their food.

Of course, the 'food' in question would be animal products, and that is ultimately our goal here, so by their own admission, it seems to be an effective strategy.

Not to mention that the animals deserve to have people know about the reality of their situation and the horrors that take place, and the people who enable it to happen shouldn't have to hide from the pain they cause their victims.

I think comprehensive education is necessary, in addition to being shown the truth behind animal agriculture, to ensure people have good reasons for going and staying vegan, but I think being shown graphic imagery is a good strategy to get the ball rolling and to get people to understand that their suffering isn't an abstract idea; it is very real.

Feel free to give any advice, tips, etc.

Tell Your Senators to Vote NO on the Farm Bill: Horrific Pig Crating Passed the House Narrowly, Now It’s In the Senate

You can see my prior post explaining what this monstrosity is here — unfortunately, it narrowly passed the House, so only the Senate can stop it now — know it’s hard to care twice, or more, but that’s the only way anything gets better:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Vegetarianism/comments/1sz7dcf/national\_pig\_crating\_bill\_up\_for\_vote\_tomorrow/

Call your Senators! You can look up their official page to find the phone number, or call (202) 224-3121 (it’s a switchboard that will connect you to the right office).

Or you can send an email using this link:

https://aldf.org/article/tell-congress-oppose-the-house-farm-bill/

Here’s my own explanation of what’s going on, copy-pasted from the prior post:

Basically, there’s a really (in my view) evil provision in the Farm Bill that’s coming up for a vote tomorrow, called the Save Our Bacon Act (euphemism courtesy of the corporate pork lobby) — it would overrule already existing state laws that prevent pigs from spending their entire lives in a tiny gestation crate.

Really sick stuff — pig intelligence/emotions are on par with dogs. And there’s bipartisan opposition, which is a rare enough thing these days — Rep. Paulina Luna (very rightwing) tried to get this provision out of the farm bill, probably because these kinds of poor conditions are also really bad for health/food quality (think Wuhan wet markets — disease incubators).

In other words, even non-vegetarians should care about this for (1) health issues and (2) the blatant attempt by the pork lobby to trample on states’ rights to set their own animal welfare/health standards. So, spread the word!

Then Vox did a good writeup:
