Petition: Tell Kroger to Remove Live Lobster Tanks from Its Stores

May 28, 2023May 26, 2023 Supertrooper Leave a comment

Lobsters are sentient marine animals who can live up to 100 years in the wild.

Brown pelicans in Florida are increasingly becoming entangled in fishing lines and fishhooks, and that is now their leading cause of death in the state.

April 9, 2023April 15, 2023 Supertrooper 1 Comment

In Nebraska, two men were out hunting for birds and shot a bald eagle. The men seemed unaware that these animals were in the area.
