POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
After a teenager died this summer during a horse-drawn carriage ride in New York City — and following long-standing protests by animal rights activists against the tourist activity — Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin said they plan to end horse-drawn carriage rides by June 2028. It’s part of a larger trend to get rid of the outdated practice. by @voxdotcom

Voters in Washington, DC, and Denver, Colorado could soon ban one of the world’s most controversial foods: foie gras. French for “fatty liver,” many chefs and fine diners revere foie gras as a delicacy. But animal activists allege it’s particularly cruel, as it’s made by force-feeding ducks with a metal tube during the final weeks of their lives. If these two US cities do phase out foie gras sales, they’d join California, Brazil, and a number of US cities, including Pittsburgh, Portland, Oregon, and New York City. by @voxdotcom

Every time you buy bacon, ribs, or pork chops, some of that money may ultimately help fund one of Big Pork’s most powerful lobbying groups. A new analysis of financial documents obtained by Vox found that since the early 2000s, the National Pork Board — which legally can’t use its funds for lobbying — has moved $66 million into the National Pork Producers Council, a lobbying organization.

Wild horses are an iconic fixture of the American West, yet every year the government rounds up thousands for adoption.

Mollie, a 10-month-old pet hamster in the Netherlands, probably runs a lot more than you. But even though his mileage is impressive (10k a night!), it points to a larger issue about owning small pets — that they’re living in captivity that’s against their nature. #Hamster #AnimalRights #SmallPets by @voxdotcom

A disturbing new investigation by the nonprofit Mercy For Animals into Pilgrim’s Pride — a major supplier of conventional and organic chicken to Costco and other brands — uncovered alleged unsanitary living conditions, along with severe neglect and disturbing cases of outright abuse at the farms. “It was every day that the manager would be bludgeoning chickens to death or burying them alive,” the investigator, who goes by the pseudonym Sam due to the covert nature of his work, said.

Even though we’ve felt like life partners from the very start, after 12.5 years together, we got married this weekend. I once blurted out to Amruza that she is my “guide on earth,” because she has taught me — among so many other things — how to love more deeply, live with more intention, know myself better, truly cherish friends and family, and speak for animals more courageously. While a lot of these lessons have been learned through love and joy (and by example), they’ve also been learned through challenges (if you know us, you know we’re the same person in some ways, and in other ways, polar opposites). But each year I feel more and more faith in our love and draw more strength from our bond, and so making it official felt so obviously right and special in a way I hadn’t expected. Here’s to many, many more decades together. by @voxdotcom
