Heartfelt thanks to the people of Taiwan for speaking up for Wangwang!

In today's rally, compassionate citizens took to the streets to demand an end to animal cruelty and to shut down the dark industry of profiting from online abuse videos. Thank you for giving Wangwang a voice and showing that kindness knows no borders. 🐾❤️

Very heart warming, live and let live has been a motto in my life a lot these days. Love to see people with warm hearts out there doing the right thing. Props guy.

HOW MANY DOGS HAVE TO BLEED BEFORE SOMEONE INVESTIGATES?

April 2025: Hundreds of community dogs freeze-branded by The Sato Project Inc. This organization was incorporated in New York and operates in Puerto Rico with no oversight.

March 28, 2026: 233 dogs subjected to plastic ear tagging.

We have photos of bleeding, infections, and injured ears. And those are just the dogs people managed to find.

How many more are suffering unseen?

EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT THIS ORGANIZATION IS DOING TO THE COMMUNITY DOGS. THIS IS CRUEL, NOT COMPASSIONATE.

Would you dare do this to dogs in New York?

IF NOT, WHY IS IT ACCEPTABLE IN PUERTO RICO?

Are Puerto Rico's dogs worth less?

Barbara King's article, The Night I Was a Bear (published on undark.org), brilliantly makes the connection between being a human in a post-op hospital bed, a bear imprisoned in a bear bile 'farm' in Asia, and a farmed animal tortured and trapped in a western CAFO.

This is a great reference point to bring to conversations around veganism/vegetarianism when talking with folks who like to pretend that animal cruelty is something that happens 'over there, not here.'

To BTS, BigHit Music, and our global ARMY family worldwide:

We are calling upon our international community to unite our voices for an urgent, heartbreaking crisis that can no longer remain hidden in the shadows: the horrific reality of systemic neglect, overcrowding, and mass euthanasia taking place inside municipal animal shelters across South Korea.

BTS has taught all of us what it means to lead with empathy, to protect the vulnerable, and to use our platform to speak for those without a voice. From addressing the United Nations on human dignity to the members openly sharing their love and deep bonds with rescue animals (like Yeontan, Bam, Songi, Gureum, and Rapmon), the message has always been clear: every life possesses inherent worth and deserves dignity.

Right now, that dignity is being denied to tens of thousands of defenseless companion animals:

- Across South Korea, countless subcontracted and municipal shelters operate with minimal regulatory oversight.

- Abandoned and lost dogs and cats are confined in abysmal conditions—facing starvation, rampant infectious disease, and extreme deprivation.

- Instead of rehabilitation and humane adoption networks, standard operating procedure often defaults to quiet, systematic mass euthanasia after arbitrary statutory holding periods.

- Local grassroots Korean rescuers and whistleblowers are working tirelessly on the frontlines to expose these facilities, but they need massive global public solidarity to compel real systemic reform.

As one of the most organized, compassionate, and influential global communities on Earth, ARMY has continually demonstrated that collective action moves mountains. We have planted forests, funded disaster relief, and supported civil rights. Now, our moral courage is needed to protect the voiceless.

HERE IS HOW WE TAKE ACTION TOGETHER:

1. AMPLIFY THE VOICES ON THE GROUND

Support and share the critical work being documented by domestic South Korean animal welfare organizations (such as KARA, CARE Korea, Beagle Rescue Network, and local grassroots sanctuaries). Translate their alerts, amplify their rescue drives, and bring international transparency to local shelter conditions.

2. ADVOCATE FOR URGENT LEGISLATIVE REFORM

Use respectful, unified international advocacy on social platforms directed at municipal governments, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA), and regional authorities. Demand:

- Mandatory national standards and strict, unannounced federal inspections of all municipal shelters.

- Heavy criminal penalties and revocation of operating licenses for negligent contractors.

- Government-funded, nationwide spay/neuter programs and ethical adoption incentives over mass euthanasia.

3. SPREAD "ADOPT, DON'T SHOP" AND FOSTER COLLABORATION

Challenge the commercial puppy mill pipeline and backyard breeding markets by advocating ethical adoption. Support organizations facilitating international and domestic adoptions for shelter animals facing immediate euthanasia deadlines.

4. CALL ON CULTURAL & COMMUNITY LEADERS

Let us peacefully appeal to influencers, public figures, and cultural icons in Korea to speak on behalf of animal welfare. Cultural shifts drive legislative action.

Love, compassion, and dignity cannot stop at human borders. When the vulnerable are suffering behind closed doors, silence is complicity. Let us stand together as a global force for good and demand that every animal shelter becomes a sanctuary of care, healing, and hope.

Please share, amplify, and help us be the voice for the voiceless.

This is sick how do we do something about it

Completed Week 236 of #FastAgainstAnimalAbuse yesterday, a 24 hour weekly dry fast campaign.

This week’s message: TEST ON CRIMINALS, NOT ANIMALS.

Millions of innocent animals suffer in laboratories, enduring pain and fear for human benefit. They have committed no crime. They deserve no punishment.

Their lives matter. Their suffering matters.

Let us build a world where compassion extends to every living being 🤍

A case of animal cruelty beyond imagination has come to light in a vet clinic in Bellandur - Primecare Pet Hospital.

The clinic was reportedly paying catchers 500rs each to pickup street dogs, getting their bones broken without anesthesia, and then allowing veterinary students to practice orthopedic surgery.

After the surgery was done, most of the dogs used to die and their corpses thrown away in a nearby empty plot.

12 dogs and 1 cat were found in the premises, 3 were saved before their limbs were broken.

The prime accused are Dr. Asif Pasha - the owner of the veterinary center which was raided and Dr. Manjunath, reportedly a second-year MVSc student associated with Hebbal Veterinary College.

Reportedly the clinic was also operating without a valid license.

Does anyone investigate puppy mills or track which dogs they have and where puppies are moved? Please help.

They snuck this in without any public input

Came across a vid - with little to no attention! Poor fog gets thrown by person in red. Looks like they hit their mouth on the edge. Need it to go viral/attention brought! No animals should suffer! Posted on yelp. Note: I have no flag here other than the concern and well being of these pups in the “care” of this place. Please & thank you! If any one can tag or knows Vegasstarfish maybe she can help. Please & thank you.
