Animals Exhibiting Abnormal Behavior at Maple Lane Wildlife Farm

At Maple Lane Wildlife Farm, a roadside zoo in Indiana, multiple animals were documented exhibiting abnormal behavior, a sign of psychological distress from living in cramped cages with nothing to do. A young capuchin—who had been prematurely torn away from his or her mother and was being kept in solitary confinement and used as a photo prop—was biting and hitting him- or herself. A bear was swaying his or her head repeatedly, and a tiger was pacing in a concrete corn crib.

Animal cruelty: Pug owner suing dogsitter after finding 6-inch gash on its neck

An Australian man wants to sue his dogsitter after the latter allegedly took such poor care of his dog that it resulted an awful gash in the pooch's neck. The owner of the canine shared graphic pictures of his pet's injuries on social media.

Sydney resident Jackson Millan went on the website Mad Paws to find someone he could leave his pets with so he could go on a 6-week vacay to Brazil. After meeting a man named John Walsh through the site at a dog park, then visiting his home, Millan said he felt he could safely leave his pug Otis and boxer Dobby with him, Australia's 7 News Online reported.

During his vacation, Millan kept asking for updates about his pets, but was only met with endless excuses. Finally Millan received a picture showing Otis with his harness on, and what looked like nasty stains around it as if it had never been taken off.

In north-eastern Thailand, an innocent dog was butchered for her meat.

She no doubt died in terror - not only for herself, but for her two young pups who witnessed their mother’s slaughter.

In an instant, Pixie and Fiona were brutally orphaned – and next in line to be killed.

Please donate now to stop the horror of the Asian dog meat trade!

What happened next resulted in two innocent young lives being saved with just minutes to spare.

Our undercover team, following up on reports that the house was being used to butcher dogs, arrived at the premises with the local police force. Giving no warning, they smashed the door down and stormed the property.

The barbaric criminal was caught red-handed, the body of his latest victim at his feet, her terrified babies cowering in the corner.

One of the surviving pups emerges as the butcher is arrested.

Immediately arrested, the man confessed to butchering dogs and selling their meat. Despite such activity now being illegal in Thailand, it still continues on a smaller scale.

Our team is fighting relentlessly to end all consumption of dog meat in the country, by investigating all reports of such activity and persistently tracking the movements of those involved until they can be arrested.

Please ensure these investigations can continue and evil dog butchers can be brought to justice by making a gift that will save innocent animals now.

The rescued pups are now at our shelter, where they are receiving the medical care and love they need in order to recover from such a horrific ordeal.

Pixie and Fiona have loving homes awaiting them and will leave shortly for their new lives in the U.S. Despite all they have endured, they are the lucky ones. But across Asia, man’s best friend needs you now, like never before.

At this time of year, countless innocent dogs are being butchered during South Korea’s Boknal festival. Thousands of dogs are killed for their meat every day of the year across China. In Vietnam, approximately 5 million dogs are slaughtered for their meat each year.

Please stand up for the innocent victims of such atrocities by joining the fight against Asia’s dog meat trade. Donate now to save innocent lives! As ever, I thank you for your compassion for dogs like Pixie and Fiona.

This Is 'Free-Range'

This PETA exposé contains eyewitness footage of a British "free-range" egg farm, filmed during multiple visits to a site in Cambridgeshire. If you thought "free-range" meant cruelty-free, you may be in for a nasty shock, as this footage proves that reality is often very different from what the industry would have you believe.

Animal cruelty: Tiger selfies on Tinder is getting PETA all riled up

With International Tiger Day coming up, PETA has set its sights on protecting pussies on Tinder — big orange striped ones, that is.

Tiger selfies on Tinder are apparently a thing, with Instagram accounts and blogs dedicated to documenting this oddly specific fad.

But while Tinderlings may seem amused, everyone's favorite animal rights group is swiping left and screaming animal cruelty.

The people at PETA Australia sent a letter to Tinder head honcho Sean Rad, asking him to ban tiger selfies on the dating app, as the seemingly harmless snaps unintentionally promote the abusive animal tourism industry.

According to the letter, baby tigers are separated from their mothers and kept in squalid, stressful conditions. When they get older and more dangerous, they're locked up in cages or kept heavily sedated.
