Aterradora made our weekly ambulance list after being vanned off the Saratoga track Saturday. The initial reports (out of the industry) said she was going to be fine. She isn’t. In fact, she’s dead – euthanized Monday “due to her injury.” Aterradora had just turned three in May. This, by the way, is the 10th kill at Saratoga thus far this summer – and we still have all of August to go. 💔

A lot of you despise me,
And I don't understand why.
I am not ugly or deserving of your hate.
I survive every day on the streets,
That used to be meadows.
There are no tasty seeds,
Because you turned trees into buildings.
I eat what you throw on the ground,
Because I have no choice.
Water is harder and harder to find.
Do you know what it takes to survive in a world that is not mine anymore?
Please don't scare me or hurt me,
Just let me live -
Live in your world that was once mine..

Through a FOIA request to the Ohio Racing Commission, we have confirmed the deaths of 26 horses at Ohio tracks thus far this year. 💔

Racehorse confinement, beyond being unspeakably cruel, deprives horses of regular pasture turnout which adversely affects bone density. When combined with a lack of natural forage, confinement creates a higher-than-normal risk for often-fatal colic/impactions. Furthermore, the concentrated nature of these tracks – hundreds if not thousands of horses under one roof – leads to, again, a higher-than-normal risk for deadly infections. Catastrophic injury or colic, these killings are the fault of horseracing. 🚫🏇

For most pet primates in the United States, life is marked by chronic stress, malnutrition and illness — if they survive at all. A bill in Congress would aim to make ownership of captive primates illegal in all 50 states.

🌞🌡 The temperature hit 94 degrees, hot enough to break the record for July 24th. That didn't stop some pretty remarkable friends and neighbors, though.

They showed up at the Onondaga County Rabies Clinic because they know that pets are family and people want families to be healthy.

Three cheers for these superstars!

🌟 The Onondaga County Health Department for offering free rabies clinics all around the county ... and their dedicated staff, veterinarian, and veterinary technician who hustled to make getting a rabies vaccination for your pet as easy as possible. 👏👏👏

🌟 Our Fixing to Help volunteers - three of them! - who wanted folks to know that if their fur baby needs a spay or neuter, they should give us a call in the fall. (And where better than a rabies clinic to give some extra oohs and aahs over other people's pets?!?
👏👏👏

🌟 And all those pet parents who didn't let a hot, hot day stop them from keeping their precious fur muffins healthy. We saw so many awesome pets, like meowzers Lucky and Lucifer, curious Mina, happy Gronk, poochie Lucky, and that adorable little one whose mom held her close to her heart. We wish we could have shown you all the cats and dogs. There were so many!
👏👏👏

💞 Hooray and heartfelt THANK YOUs for every single rabies clinic superstar! 👏👏👏 As we often say, "YOU GET A GOLD ⭐️!"

Finally, someone put it in law — what we’ve always felt in our hearts.
New York now legally recognizes dogs as family members.
Not pets. Not property. But family.

Through a FOIA request to the PA Dept. of Agriculture, we have confirmed 44 racehorse kills at Pennsylvania tracks thus far this year. 💔

Frosty the Roman, below, was "transported off the track in the Equine Ambulance" and euthanized at Parx on January 8th. Every year, the state of Pennsylvania funnels tens of millions of taxpayer dollars into the horseracing industry, in which horses suffer and die. Join us in urging Pennsylvania lawmakers to stop using taxpayer dollars to fund animal cruelty. 🚫
