This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.

After massive public outcry and pressure from advocates across the country—including all of you who helped share this case—.ca has confirmed the dog seen on video being violently abused has been rescued.

Detectives located the dog in poor condition, removed him from the home, and placed him with . The suspect, 28-year-old Alexander Cueva, was arrested and charged with felony animal cruelty.

Thank you to everyone who helped push this case forward. Because of your voices, this dog has a second chance—and his abuser will be held accountable.

We will continue to monitor the case and fight for full justice. In the meantime, we hope Alfaro gets shown the same mercy that he showed this innocent dog.

It’s been incredible to see people from all over the world come together — united by outrage, by compassion, and by the need to speak up for a defenseless animal who didn’t deserve what happened.

Long Beach Police Department (CA) felt that pressure. Not just from us — but from you. Every call, every email, every report made a difference.

We’re still working to confirm more details about the suspect — and most importantly, about the dog, who remains the center of this case. As soon as we know more, we’ll update.

To everyone who spoke out: thank you. And please don’t stop. Your voice matters — and it works.

Australia is slaughtering its koalas.

In Victoria’s Budj Bim National Park, koalas are being shot from helicopters. The government calls it “population control.” We call it what it is: slaughter.

Koalas were declared endangered in parts of Australia in 2022 — and now they’re being culled by the thousands. Premier Jacinta Allan claims it’s to prevent overpopulation and starvation. But how can they be endangered and overpopulated?

This isn’t conservation. It’s cover-up and mismanagement.

Instead of addressing habitat loss, bad forest planning, and government failure — they’ve reached for rifles. No relocation plans. No expert consensus. No public input. Just bullets from the sky.

Koalas don’t need bullets. They need trees. They need protection — not spin.

Take action. Demand they stop this.

People. Fu***ng. Suck.

Our foundation reports on abuse worldwide—but stories like this? They hit different. They’re so callous, so vile, they make your blood boil. And tbh, some people just need to go to sleep permanently.

A 64-year-old man named Toby Odell Bennett walked onto someone else’s property in Longview, Texas, lifted a rifle over a locked gate, and executed an innocent 8-month-old puppy.

This wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t “self-defense.” It was cold-blooded, premeditated cruelty. The dog’s guardian, Kimy Magana, was left devastated — and it was all caught on video.

And in classic Texas fashion, he was released the next day on a $10,000 bond. No real punishment. No accountability.

Speak out, and let them know your outrage by contacting the people below:

Sheriff Maxey Cerliano — (903) 236‑8400  |  DA John Moore — (903) 236‑8440  |  Email Craig Harrington — [email protected]

Demand full felony prosecution. No plea deals. No leniency. No excuses.
Because if this monster walks, Texas is telling the world once again that our pets are disposable. Thank you

WARNING: GRAPHIC. This is from Berat, Albania. We know what we share for awareness can be brutal, but looking away is a luxury our Foundation doesn’t have.

In this video, a group of criminals hurls a puppy from several meters into the water, then slashes its belly open with a knife. In the background, we hear them react with twisted excitement, like they’re proud of it. The one in the red sweatshirt is Flori Memaj. The one in the white shirt is Ergys Dodoveci.

The police in Berat were notified—and did nothing. These monsters still roam free, likely hunting their next victim.

Albania has no real animal rights. Its government ignores any laws—if there are even any. Abuse is rampant, especially against dogs.

We may be far away, but we can still demand justice. Email [email protected] and ask why these abusers haven’t been held accountable. Prime Minister knows what’s happening in his own country with animal abuse—and his silence is complicity.

A man was caught on security footage throwing a 3-year-old Chihuahua into a garbage dumpster. He dangled him by his legs, tossed him in, and shut the lid, leaving him to die. This happened near the 5500 block of Sheila Avenue (Smoke Ranch and Decatur) in Las Vegas on April 14, 2025. A neighbor found the dog in the dumpster over 24 hours later.

If found, this man could face charges under Nevada’s animal cruelty laws, potentially strengthened by Reba’s Law (Assembly Bill 381), a proposed Nevada bill inspired by Reba, an English Bulldog who died after similar abuse in July 2024.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) is searching for this individual, described as wearing red shorts and no shirt, with no arrests made yet. You can help by providing tips on the suspect to LVMPD’s Animal Cruelty Detail at 702-828-3364 or Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.

He’s now safe with Vegas Pet Rescue Project, recovering but traumatized after veterinary care confirmed he’s uninjured but skittish.

His name is Atreyu ♥️

This woman is our hero. At an Egyptian tourist site, a Dutch woman saw a man beating a donkey. She punched him and chased him with a whip. The moment went viral.

Some praise her, others debate her methods. Egyptian authorities are investigating, but animal welfare in tourism remains a huge issue.

While we don’t condone violence towards anyone, we still think this woman is amazing considering that she put her own safety at jeopardy to stand up to a bully abusing an innocent creature. We stand with her fight for animals.

Harp seal pups—just weeks old—are clubbed to death or shot on Canada’s East Coast every spring, turning the white ice floes red with their blood in a brutal commercial seal hunt. These innocent seals, who only seek to live and play on the ice, deserve a chance at life—not slaughter.

Sealers smash their skulls with hakapiks, often while they’re still conscious, drag them alive with boat hooks, stack them with the dead while still twitching, and skin them before they’re even unconscious. Their haunting cries of pain echo across the ice, a desperate plea as they’re tortured.

This bloodbath has raged for decades, targeting mostly these pups but also some older seals—a hidden disgrace Canada can’t ignore. It’s a side gig for less than 1% of Newfoundland’s fishermen, propped up by millions in taxpayer subsidies for a fading fur market.

It’s been so hard to fight after all these years—and even harder for us to share—but with hundreds of thousands of seals killed each year, the urgency to act has never been greater.

Public pressure works, with 36 countries already banning seal products. A federal buyout could end this by paying sealers to switch to jobs like seal-watching tourism instead—a step toward systemic change ensuring Canada leads in compassion.

We are thankful to the thousands of global citizens joining this campaign, envisioning a Canada free from this cruel hunt. Email the Prime Minister’s Office at [email protected] or call 613-992-4211.

We’ve prepared a letter to send that opens an easy email with addresses preloaded, ready to send:

This is probably one of the fastest updates we’ve ever had.

The brutally abused mama bulldog that was kicked in the face and slammed to the ground in LA has been located and rescued.

Neighbors identified the man seen abusing the bulldog on Ring camera footage. He’s homeless, living in a tent on the corner of Nadeau St and Alameda St near the Sinclair gas station, often washing windows for money. They say this is a new dog—he’s always with different dogs!

If anyone seen this man, contact LAPD at 1-877-ASK-LAPD (1-877-275-5273)

Thank you and

This bulldog was seen on a Ring camera being slammed to the ground and kicked in the face—right after giving birth.

She’s disoriented, scared, and searching for her babies, wandering near 2023 Nadeau St, Los Angeles, CA 90001, where someone dumped her near some tires in an alley on April 8th.

If you have any information, call Los Angeles Animal Services at (888) 452-7381, the South LA Animal Care Center at (213) 485-0214, or the Animal Services Hotline at 213-270-8155 (verify with LA Animal Services).

If you can identify the abuser seen on the footage, please let us know or contact LA Animal Services or LAPD at 1-877-ASK-LAPD (1-877-275-5273).

Will humans ever learn?

This is a horrible story about animals kept in bo***ge that finally revolted. It happened recently at the Koyilandi Temple in Kerala, India. These elephants, rented out for festivals from Guruvayur Temple, endured relentless abuse—beaten, shackled, and forced to perform in the heat for profit.

It was a completely preventable but expected tragedy that screams why we shouldn’t exploit animals for entertainment. Three people paid with their lives when these elephants finally had enough and fought back against their abuse.

Animals, like people, have feelings too. When they’re pushed too far, they fight back. That’s what happened here—three lives lost because we continue to exploit these animals for our entertainment. Elephants belong in the wild, not in captivity.

This poor pup is suffering and needs a miracle.

He arrived at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter with severe eye issues: his right eye was surgically removed in the past, and his swollen, protruding left eye is likely blind due to glaucoma or another painful condition. He urgently needs surgery and medical care, which the shelter cannot provide. He is currently on the euthanasia list.

Despite his pain, he is alert, eating, and stable for now. But time is running out. The shelter has placed him on a medical deadline: April 8th, 2025. If his health declines before then, they may have no choice but to euthanize him.

This dog can only be released to an approved 501(c)(3) rescue organization due to his medical needs. He is currently on a stray hold. If unclaimed, he will be available for rescue starting April 8th, 2025.

If you can help save this dog’s life, please contact the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter at (909) 998-4000 or visit www.sbcitypets.org.

The dog is ID , a 5-year-old male Pekingese mix weighing 10.20 pounds. The shelter address is: 333 Chandler Place, San Bernardino, CA 92408.

Just because an animal is in a shelter doesn’t mean they are safe. Many suffer in silence—their cries just often go unheard.

This is the poor pup we posted about recently, beaten in the back of a car in Memphis, Tennessee, because she ate her owner’s slice of pizza.

Her name is Brixleigh, only 8 months old, and she is fighting to recover after Justin Johnson’s brutal attack. X-rays show both her femoral heads are broken—one from past abuse, the other fresh from this beating. She’s got a human bite mark on her ear, chicken bones in her stomach, and tick-borne diseases too. She needs double FHO surgery and months of rehab, but she’s safe now with Tails of Hope Dog Rescue

The abuser, Justin Johnson, is still out there despite an arrest warrant for aggravated animal cruelty. He even admitted to cops he’s the guy in the video, but he’s too cowardly to face the consequences. We didn’t get everything we wanted yet, but for now, the important thing is that she is alive, safe, and in great care.

If anyone knows where Johnson’s hiding, call Memphis Animal Services at (901) 636-1416 or Memphis Police at (901) 545-2677.

It’s very easy to just completely lose faith in humanity.

In China—drop a coin and “win” a live dog. It’s proof of how little value some in China place on living creatures, but not surprising since China has no laws to protect the innocent from something like this.

China has no nationwide law banning animal cruelty, period. That’s been a sore point for advocates forever. There’s no real legal protection for animals—just some weak rules for livestock that care more about profit than welfare. This claw machine crap? It’s legal insanity that wouldn’t fly in North America or parts of Europe, where stronger welfare laws would crush it.

People in China are starting to push back, demanding better, but the dog meat trade still kills about 10 million dogs a year. Our Foundation, along with others from around the world and in China, has fought to stop it. Shenzhen banned dog and cat meat, which is a start, but most of China’s still wide open for abuse. This is a brutal wake-up call.

For awareness

03/31/2025

We know it’s very tough to watch something like this, but it needs to be done in order to find the people responsible.

A man was seen abusing a dog by repeatedly kicking and attempting to suffocate his dog. Whoever filmed this incident shared this in hopes of identifying the individual and getting help for the dog.

This happened in Washington DC near the Safeway on the 3800 block of Georgia Ave, NW. If anyone can identify this person please contact the at 202-727-4283, as they have the authority to investigate and respond to this crime.

If anyone has any contacts in that area, please share and spread this around so we can find this f!cker We hope that the DC police take this seriously and investigate as it is unacceptable in any society.

This is the bastard from Memphis, Tennessee, who threw a dog off a bridge to its death—not once, but twice. We’re sharing the video again because that’s exactly what Christopher Triplett deserves.

Christopher, you are a vile, sorry excuse for a human being who deserved as much mercy as you showed that innocent life you took.

This is the kind of update we never wanted to share. This is a complete collapse of the justice system, and sometimes it seems like only the wicked are rewarded. For the cruel and calculated killing of a defenseless animal, Christopher’s punishment? Weekly drug tests, a mental evaluation, a GED, and some “decision-making” classes—because apparently, that’s enough to fix a monster.

The next time somebody calls animal lovers crazy, say: “Sit down for a minute; let me tell you a story about Christopher Triplett.” Then ask them who the real crazy one is.
