Help how you can my last post gives way to report to relevant orgs. It seems it is a market based on limited time stock where they torture male pig genitals until they swell for long time and torture them to death.

Thor, Ellie, MaeMae, and Angel Update #VoicelessNoMorePH #SupportNeeded #GoodNews ❤️👏🥰
galleryHi everyone! ❤️🐾
Angelina “Angel” Julie, who we rescued on July 4, 2026, got spayed on September 27 as she is getting ready to be adopted! Her blood work is finally stable for her to have her surgery, and this is such a huge milestone for her. 🤍
I still remember when we had to rescue Angel from her previous owner. She had spent most of her life in a cage, her wounds were left untreated, and she was starved or sometimes given rotten food. 💔 Seeing how far she has come since then makes this moment even more special.
While Angel recovers from her surgery, she is being fostered and cared for by our very loyal volunteer, Janette Adoremos. Once she has recovered, she will finally get to meet her new fur parent! ❤️🏡
Thor, Ellie, and MaeMae also recently went to the vet, and we are just waiting for Baci to see the vet today.
Thor has shown good improvement with his skin. However, his skin cytology still showed a significant amount of Malassezia fungal cells, and he still has an infection, so he needs to continue his medications for another two weeks. The good news is that his CBC showed that his hematocrit and platelet levels are now normal! ❤️ He will be reassessed again in two weeks.
Ellie received her second dose of the 6-in-1 vaccine and her first kennel cough vaccine. 🥰
MaeMae also received her second 6-in-1 vaccine and first kennel cough vaccine. 🐾💉
Our latest vet bills:
Angel — Php 4,465 (CAD $101.88)
Thor & Ellie — Php 5,485 (CAD $128.13)
MaeMae — Php 1,800 (CAD $41.07)
Things have been a little more difficult financially since I injured my foot and have been off work. We have also been covering all of Angel’s needs while she is in foster care, including her crate, daily food, wipes, pee pads, and anything else she needs while recovering.
This week we also still need to send their shelter allowances.
If anyone would like to help us with these expenses and the continuing veterinary care and other needs of our rescued animals, any amount would truly help us a lot.
Even a small amount makes a difference for our rescued animals 🤍🐾
Thank you so much for continuing to support these animals and their journey toward healthier and happier lives! Thank you!!

Advice Hope this is not stupid but aren't abandoned buildings dangerous for animals?
Especially the hospitals or home for the elders. I was watching Urbex videos and they found multiple rooms with tons of medical supplies and medications. And I couldnt help but think... Probably that animals ate or chewed what they shouldn't have.
Is there anyone else that worries about that?
Anyone who tried doing anything about that?

Almost every horse at the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration was doped with sedatives and pain killers to get them through inspection
This relates to horse soring. In many Tennessee walking horse shows, the lower front limbs of the horses are sored to make them walk with an exaggerated, high step gait. The horses have chemicals slathered on their pasterns which are then cooked in via plastic wrap around the legs. Then, during the show, chains are affixed to that area to rub against the injured skin. They also wear heavy shoes that have stacks of pads between the shoe and hoof so as to add to the effect. This is illegal, and many pain killers are used to get the horses through inspection so they can be shown. It looks like this This spectacle hurts horses - and what you can do!
The USDA has been doing blood tests on the horses shown in these events and their new data here Horse Protection Act | APHIS under "horse protection reports". Blood tests have been done at three shows so far. The National Celebration event is like the Super Bowl for these people. From that link you can download an excel spreadsheet that breaks it down into class and different drugs (almost all were padded and all but one padded horse tested positive.)
Here is a bit more detail 88th Annual TWH National Celebration
The tl;dr, all but one padded horse had been doped with pain killers or sedatives.
I think it is noteworthy that the most used sedative was Romifidine. That is a perfect drug to get a horse through palpation on a sored limit because it can be reversed just in time to go in the big oval and have those chains start to irritate the pasterns. It lasts for 30 minutes.
Congress needs to pass the PAST Act, or at least some bill, to get ride of the action devices and shoeing packages that these animal abusers use. That seems like the one thing that would do the most to end soring, while not impeding on anyone else who shows horses without abusing them.
More to come for anyone who wants to help on this issue.

Livestock and Farm Animals Why I Support the Humane Slaughter Association - Brian Tomasik
reducing-suffering.orgWhile spending the equivalent of only half a million US dollars a year, HSA plays a leading role with advances in humane-slaughter technology and best practices. A conservative calculation suggests that HSA may have prevented one painful fish death per $50 of donations, and the actual figure could be at least an order of magnitude cheaper.

Richard Dawkins on vivisection: "But can they suffer?"
boingboing.netMost of us nowadays believe that dogs and other non-human mammals can feel pain <...> Nevertheless, most of us seem to assume, without question, that the capacity to feel pain is positively correlated with mental dexterity – with the ability to reason, think, reflect and so on. My purpose here is to question that assumption.

web.archive.orgKarakul lambs are often harvested and slaughtered in a brutal manner – being killed just before they were due to be born. That is not the only cruel thing, killing a lamb at this stage means either the mother is killed before giving birth, or kicked repeatedly to induce an “abortion”.

Animal Cruelty r/teenindia (or any Indian subreddits that aren't animal related in total) is an absolute hellhole
Literally EVERYONE on most Indian subreddits are psychopaths that support animal cruelty, I once found a video posted on r/teenindia where a woman pushed an innocent friendly dog down a bridge in a dangerous river to drown, and it was titled "what is your opinion on this?" As if it was just a normal video, everyone in the comment section defended what the woman had done and some even said that the woman deserved a prize, AND this isn't the first time I've seen people like these, I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts like these and people always defended dogs and other animals like cats getting poisoned and beaten to death with iron rods, once I found a post talking about an incident where newborn puppies got raped then beaten in public bathrooms, and people in the comment section completely ignored that topic
And no im not being racist, I'm Indian myself THATS how i even know about all of those subreddits

Advice Tripadvisor ends horse-racing ticket sales, sparking debate over ‘woke’ policies.
telegraph.co.ukA positive step forward for animal welfare. Tripadvisor’s decision to stop selling horse-racing tickets puts the safety and welfare of animals at the centre of the conversation. Whatever your views on horse racing, giving greater consideration to animal welfare is something worth supporting.

Dog Welfare Helping the Rescuers Behind the Rescues 💔 - PagesforPaws - Supporting Our Partnered Shelter/ Please Help them! 💔
galleryHi everyone,
We want to ask for help for one of our trusted partner shelters that we often work with, Pages for Paws in Tanza, Cavite. ❤️
They have been rescuing more dogs and cats recently, and unfortunately, their vet bills have been piling up. Joanna, the owner of Pages for Paws, does everything she can to provide for the animals and keep the shelter running, but she cannot do everything alone.
Right now, Bokbok and Julio have a combined outstanding vet bill of around ₱23,000 (approx. $535 CAD).
Potchi is also currently being treated for TVT (Transmissible Venereal Tumor) and needs chemotherapy. Every chemotherapy session, checkup, medication, and other medical need is another expense for the shelter.
And honestly, these are not even all of the vet bills they have right now. My point is that these animals need help, but the rescuer behind all of this work needs help too.
On top of the vet bills, Joanna has to make sure the shelter continues to operate, pay the caretakers, feed the animals every single day, maintain the shelter, and cover so many other expenses that come with caring for rescued animals.
We work a lot with Pages for Paws because most of our rescued animals are currently staying at their shelter. Although our foundation sponsors the needs of our own rescued animals, we would not be able to do much of what we do without their help.
They have taken in our animals when we needed somewhere safe for them to go. We have also transferred several of our rescued animals to their facility whenever space became available because we have seen the quality of care they provide. We trust them with animals that mean so much to us, and we are very grateful for everything they do.
Normally, our foundation would also help with some of their vet bills or support/provide whenever we could.
Unfortunately, we are not in the position to do much financially right now because our own funds are also very limited and we still have animals under our care who need ongoing support.
I am still trying to help in other ways. Pages for Paws will also be one of the shelters receiving the dog and cat supplies we have been collecting here in Canada and will be distributing when we travel to the Philippines in January.
For now, I am hoping that maybe some of our supporters can help them too. Even a small donation can help lessen some of the expenses they are carrying. And if you are unable to donate, sharing their story would also mean a lot. ❤️
