People do terrible things to animals sometimes in efforts to protect their homes and livelihood, forgetting that we share this earth with beautiful, wild creatures.

Petition: Pamela Anderson: ‘Nobody Should Go to SeaWorld’
Pamela Anderson has just one birthday wish: freedom for Corky, an orca who was captured five decades ago and currently lives in a cramped, chemically treated concrete tank at SeaWorld.

Petition: Undercover Investigation Reveals Cruelty at French Fur Farm
It seems the world is realizing how cruel fur farming really is. Places like Czech Republic and Ireland have both banned fur farming.

They need the help of humans to survive and […]
