Minimal penalties for animal cruelty send a dangerous message. In Wyoming, a wolf was tortured and paraded through a bar, another left to die in a trap, and a family dog killed, fines as low as $150. These policies fail to protect animals. This must change. Read more: https://bit.ly/46xKIdM
Opinion | Wyoming tolerates animal cruelty too often. That must change.
Multiple disturbing incidents show our state puts little value on discouraging animal suffering, writes guest columnist Faith Williams.

@dec.ny.gov @deborahjglick.bsky.social @senatorharckham.bsky.social Pls investigate this. Squirrel and other animal-killing contests are illegal in #NewYorkState.

Rep. Gosar is pushing a bill to strip Mexican Gray Wolves of endangered status—despite only 286 in the wild & dangerously low genetic diversity. His bill cleared committee last week & is headed to the floor, ignoring science for politics. Take action at TeamWolf.Org!

@governor.pa.gov Wildlife killing contests do not belong in the 21st century. Many states have already banned them. #AnimalRights #WildlifeEthics #Pennsylvania
[email protected] Hey Gov., this is what your hunting buddies are up to in PA...hunting contest for killing the most animals for fun & prizes. Sporting, isn't it???

This is what happens when wolves lose ESA protections. Killing wild predators is all fun and games in Montana. Hunters will pose with their 'trophies' on social media as if they've come back from battle as victors. #EndTrophyHunting #SaveTheWolves #AnimalRights #Conservation #Montana

This message is from a Senator, Chris Murphy (D-CT).

I'm sharing it because this account is specifically about swing elections.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

This is what trapping does. Anyone with information on the perpetrators should speak up. #BanTrapping
Two young raccoons maimed in cuff-style traps in a Maple Ridge yard were humanely euthanized after assessment by Critter Care Wildlife Society. It’s believed the traps were intentionally set. Anyone with information is asked to contact the RAPP Line: buff.ly/1FKbPLL #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Trapping is a wretched form of hunting (if you can even call it hunting). It's cruel and lazy. I cannot believe it's still legal in this day and age. #BanWildlifeKillingContests #BanSnaring #BanTrapping

No animal in the US has been the subject of relentless persecution like the coyote has. Although NY has banned coyote killing contests, they still being killed for fun. It's time we stop the butchery. #AnimalRights #AnimalWelfare #Coyote

Lauren Boebert’s All-Out Anti-Wolf Assault on the ESA
Last week, Lauren Boebert’s cynically-named “Pet and Livestock Protection Act” passed the House of Representatives on a narrow, largely party-line vote.

With wolf protections under threat, this is a reminder of why wolves matter. The recovery we’ve seen over the past decades was made possible through science-based protections, progress that is now at risk of being undone.

Wolves are not the problem; they are essential and deserve a future.

It cost a Montana hunter just $12 to purchase the license allowing him to kill 1479F, one of Yellowstone’s most beloved wolves.

Seriously people, in this day and age, we cannot turn a blind eye to this kind of cruelty.
Farmed animals care about their newborns as much as human parents do. Never support an industry that steals their babies.

A reminder to call your reps, telling them to vote NO on H.R. 845 (Boebert's "Pet and Livestock Protection Act"). The bill aims to remove much needed ESA protection for wolves in the lower 48. There are some undecided members of congress, so sharing your opinion helps tremendously!!
🚨 URGENT ACTION ALERTS 🚨

The House could vote as early as tomorrow on H.R. 845—a bill to permanently delist Gray Wolves & greenlight state-sponsored killing nationwide

Call undecided Reps TODAY: bit.ly/StopHR845 (1/2).

This sow was forcibly impregnated and lives in a cage that is too small for her to turn around. She tried to flee. But there is no escape from this hell — as long as people pay for it.

Don’t even think or say: “but this is not in my country”.

Animal abuse is EVERYWHERE.

It is not shown everywhere.

Animal exploitation = animal abuse.

Stop your abuse #LiveVegan ✌️

Folks, this is serious. Wolves cannot afford to lose ESA protections. This will unravel 30 years of fragile recovery. Call your reps and tell them to oppose H.R 845.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Boebert’s H.R. 845—a bill to permanently strip Gray Wolves of ESA protections and block court challenges—heads to the House floor next week. This extreme bill ignores science, putting wolves at risk.
Call your Rep NOW: 202-224-3121
Tell them to VOTE NO on H.R. 845!
