It
is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human
history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to
improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends
forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million
different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current
that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Petitions & Legislation
The
Big Cat Public Safety Act is a federal bill that would address two of
the biggest sources of abuse of big cats by ending owning big cats as
pets and stopping exploitative roadside zoos from offering cub petting
and photo ops. Big cats purchased as pets are dangerous and typically
end up living in inhumane conditions. Cubs used for petting and photos
are ripped from their mothers at birth, physically punished to diminish
their natural behaviors, deprived of sleep, then often discarded a few
months later when they are two big to pet, with no tracking of what
happens to them or how many die
Wild
animals used in circuses spend their lives in cramped cages, forced to
perform unnatural and sometimes painful tricks, day in and day out.
These animals endure constant stress and are denied the opportunity to
engage in natural behaviors. Wild animals have complex behavioral,
physical, and emotional needs that cannot be satisfied by traveling
shows designed for human entertainment.
The Traveling Exotic
Animal and Public Safety Protection Act (TEAPSPA) amends the Animal
Welfare Act to end the use of wild animals in traveling shows, like
circuses, with limited exceptions for certain entities such as
accredited zoos, wildlife sanctuaries, and rodeos.
The
Animal Legal Defense Fund works at the state and local levels to
advance important legislation. We advocate for laws that promote or
protect the lives and interests of animals, and we oppose legislation
that would be detrimental to animals’ well-being.
We also work
closely with the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s other programs to identify
opportunities to create model legislation that address strategic legal
issues in the areas of civil and criminal law, and monitor legislation
that impacts animals at the federal, state, and local levels
INTERNATIONAL PETITION:
Support making ECOCIDE an International Crime
Mass damage and destruction of ecosystems (ECOCIDE), committed repeatedly over decades and permitted by law, has led to global climate and ecological crisis. Treaties, agreements and civil lawsuits have all failed to prevent this.
"We call on all governments to declare support for making ecocide an international crime, in the knowledge that many countries must stand together to put this law in place for the long-term protection of all life on Earth."
Get 'Forever Chemicals' Out Of Bottled Water! by Consumer Reports
Forty-three
of the 47 bottled waters Consumer Reports tested had detectable levels
of PFAS. These chemicals have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and
other serious health problems in people with prolonged exposure. The EPA
has refused to set limits on these 'forever chemicals,' but that
shouldn't stop the bottled water industry from getting them out of the
water they sell. (Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are very stable manmade chemicals that can lead to toxicity and health issues)

...there is hope! An article here
talks of how pets are being considered more as children than mere
property in divorces. This upgrade in their legal classification
actually gives pets more protections. Now we just need to get all states to make this change! There
is no question that this change just makes sense. Animals are not
objects, they are living beings and they are a part of our families.
Vendors
are sealing turtles, fish and small amphibious animals into plastic
bags and selling them as keychain and mobile phone trinkets. The
trinkets are supposed to bring good luck, but clearly bring only bad
luck to the trapped animals.
The animals can survive for days in the bag, but eventually suffocate or starve to death.

Craigslist: Stop Putting Animals At Risk! Sign the petition
Craigslist claims the sale of animals on its platform is illegal, but there is a loophole that allows anyone to post an animal for a re-homing fee.
Unscrupulous buyers are acquiring these free animals to act as bait in dog fights, while others look for free smaller animals, like mice or rabbits, as free food for their pet snakes.
Those looking to care for a new pet are also being scammed, given sickly animals that soon die.
Sign the petition and demand Craigslist change its terms of use and ban the buying, selling, and giving away of animals on their site.
