At least eight goats, including five kids, died on the farm in just weeks 💔 Some died from illnesses that were ignored, while a co-owner said two died after eating dog food.
 
The dead goats were dropped on a dirt pile & left to rot 😔

Shannon the goat suffered from a burst abscess on her face.
 
A co-owner said that “every goat” had a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes abscesses like this. Even though the pus is contagious, the co-owner said wounds would not be cleaned.

Another goat, Dahlia, walked with a bowlegged gait. As her lameness worsened, she began resting on her knees whenever possible because her front legs hurt so badly 💔
 
When the investigator pointed it out, the co-owner said, “She’s always been like that.”

This goat, Barbara, was underweight & had at least two contagious infections.
 
When the co-owner said she would “probably die soon,” the investigator rushed her for care. Despite nearly a week of hospitalization, a vet recommended that she be euthanized to alleviate suffering.

Another goat named Abigail, Tina's pen-mate, had skin lesions on her back & was chronically underweight. Her hooves were severely overgrown, which can lead to arthritis, abscesses, & a painful infection known as foot rot 😔

This goat, named Tina, was in so much pain that she was unable to walk on her front legs and was forced to crawl on her knees.
 
A co-owner admitted that Tina should be put out of her misery, but left her to suffer in a waste-filled pen for months 💔

A PETA investigation EXPOSED a goat dairy farm, where goats were crippled, emaciated, infected, neglected & more.
 
All this misery took place on a so-called “family” farm.

Psychologist Richard D. Ryder coined the term "specieism" in the late 1960s. The term was shortly after popularized in Peter Singer's transformational book "Animal Liberation," which is often credited with launching the modern animal rights movement. He speaks with Jeremy about that and much more.

The Trump administration says it wants to greatly reduce animal experimentation in the United States. Melanie D.G. Kaplan reports on why tracking the actual effects of its plans will be difficult:

As Wicked: For Good hits theaters today, it's important not to ignore the root of Elphaba’s supposed wickedness: her horror at the mistreatment of animals and her determination to free them.
How did Elphaba become wicked? There’s a hidden message people keep missing.
The treatment of animals in the real world is far stranger — and crueler — than in Wicked.

The meat industry is finally being pushed to answer for years of misleading climate claims.

New settlements against Tyson and JBS show that real accountability is possible.

It’s unacceptable that research puppy mill Ridglan Farms was allowed to torture beagles as long as they did. Rebekah Robinson of Dane4Dogs talks with Jeremy about the government inaction that stalled progress and leaves beagles STILL under Ridglan’s control.
