Imagine being ripped from your family, confined to small, dirty enclosures and transported to strange places. You are forced to perform painful and unfamiliar tasks, dances, and movements.

Petition: Protect Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks and Their Birthing Grounds in Panama

Petition: A Homeowners Association Wants to Gas Hundreds of Geese to Death in Alabama
Hundreds of Canada geese living at a community lake in Alabama could soon be rounded up, loaded into trailers, and killed in gas chambers.

They’re the largest species of penguins on Earth, living only in Antarctica. That means they’re reliant on the cold weather that the southern pole provides. Which also explains why […]
