Don’t Let Animals Go Hungry, Include Pet Food in SNAP Benefits!
To help support struggling families, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps 40 million low or no income people in the U.S. pay for food, according to a Care2 petition. But here’s the problem: SNAP benefits cannot be used to buy pet food, causing many struggling families to have to make difficult decisions, such as surrendering the pet.
Just because someone has fallen on hard times, doesn’t mean they should have to give up their beloved pet. If you agree that the USDA should expand SNAP benefits to include pet food, please sign this important Care2 petition and share it with your friends and family. Read more here.
At least nine cats and dogs died when they were reportedly abandoned without food for weeks. Other animals, including a python, were found starving in the same home. Some apparently ate dead kittens to survive. Demand justice for these innocent animals.
Amazon UK is allowing
live lobsters to be sold through its online Marketplace.
These helpless animals are
cruelly packaged and delivered by post as if they were nothing more than a
parcel of socks. Lobsters are sentient beings, and they can suffer and feel pain
– just as dogs, cats, pigs, and humans can.
Most lobsters purchased from
Amazon will likely end up being boiled alive. Those who endure this cruel fate
typically writhe wildly and scrape at the sides of the pot in a desperate
attempt to escape from the scalding-hot water.
Please send a message now to
Amazon UK Country Manager Douglas Gurr asking him to ban the sale of lobsters
and other live animals:
