Animal companions aren’t property, they’re family. In Pennsylvania divorces, animals are still treated like furniture. A new bill would let judges consider an animal’s wellbeing when deciding custody. Sign the petition and help put compassion into the law. ladyfreethinker.org/allow-pa-cou...

Shot. Chased. Set on fire. A wild elephant in Sri Lanka died after an act of unimaginable cruelty. Nearly 400 elephants have already been killed this year. Elephants deserve protection, not violence. Sign the petition. ladyfreethinker.org/sign-justice...

Animal cruelty is going viral, and Meta is failing to stop it. LFT has filed a shareholder proposal demanding action after our investigation found 95% of monkey torture videos appeared on Meta-owned platforms. Animals deserve better. ladyfreethinker.org/lady-freethi...

A visually impaired great horned owl was found dumped at the roadside, sealed in a bag with her feet zip-tied. Suffering from head trauma and severe infection, she may not survive. The person responsible must be found. Demand justice. link.ladyfreethinker.org/owlhelp

A morning walk in Rhode Island almost turned tragic when Phoenix, a 5-year-old Golden Retriever, plunged into an icy pond. Thankfully, a quick response by local firefighters managed to save him. A video of the dramatic rescue is linked in our article. link.ladyfreethinker.org/dogpond

The U.S. military will stop shooting pigs and goats in combat medical training, replacing it with advanced simulation tech. A win for animals — and proof humane alternatives work. We’ll keep pushing for a full end to animal use. link.ladyfreethinker.org/militarystop

A kitten was allegedly stabbed multiple times and left to suffer in an alley in Hong Kong. The injuries are so severe that their survival remains unclear. This violence demands accountability. Sign to demand an investigation. link.ladyfreethinker.org/justicekitte

Scooby spent 12 years chained outside — starving, sick, and forgotten. Today he’s healed, loved, and free… but countless dogs are still left on chains, suffering in all weather with no comfort or companionship. No dog deserves that. Sign: link.ladyfreethinker.org/scooby

Madison, WI, has banned the sale of dogs & cats in pet stores. This proactive step closes the breeder-to-pet-store pipeline, helps prevent mill cruelty, and reduces strain on overcrowded shelters. link.ladyfreethinker.org/bansale

Our new report, Scrolling Through Cruelty, found thousands of videos across social media platforms showing animals tortured, killed, forced into fake rescues & fights — all for profit. Read the report & sign the petition: link.ladyfreethinker.org/report1

Over 70 shark & ray species just received new CITES protections — including gulper sharks, hunted for liver oil used in cosmetics. Whale sharks, oceanic whitetips & manta rays are now Appendix I, banning commercial trade entirely. link.ladyfreethinker.org/sharks

7 pigs rescued from severe neglect are finally healing & thriving at Heartwood Haven — thanks to LFT supporters. They can now eat well, sunbathe, and trust again. 3 have been adopted — the rest are safe at sanctuary until they find homes. link.ladyfreethinker.org/piggies

6 macaques found malnourished and suffering in a government quarantine facility have been safely rescued — thanks to LFT supporters and JAAN. They’re now receiving vet care, proper nutrition & rehabilitation. Some may be released back into the wild. link.ladyfreethinker.org/mac

Octopuses are intelligent, curious, and deeply sentient — but commercial farms would trap them in crowded tanks and kill them in freezing water. The OCTOPUS Act would ban octopus farming in the U.S. and stop imports of farmed octopus. link.ladyfreethinker.org/octo

Elephants roam hundreds of miles in the wild — but in U.S. zoos, many spend their lives rocking, swaying & showing signs of brain damage from captivity. The Captivity of Helpless Elephants Reduction Act could end this cruelty. link.ladyfreethinker.org/ele

Animals in labs, puppy mills & roadside zoos suffer while violators keep operating. The CARE Act would finally give the DOJ real power to shut down abusive facilities, revoke licenses & save animals trapped in neglect. Sign: link.ladyfreethinker.org/doj

This is what’s happening inside municipal shelters in Turkey under the new “massacre law.” With millions of dogs rounded up and no transparency from officials, advocates fear mass killing is underway. Demand an investigation and accountability. link.ladyfreethinker.org/turkey

Dogs and cats are being stolen, trafficked, and brutally slaughtered in North Sulawesi’s live markets. LFT investigators saw dogs bludgeoned, blowtorched alive, and packed into cages with open wounds. This cruelty must end. link.ladyfreethinker.org/dmtind

Happy New Year from LFT! Thank you to everyone who stood with us for animals this year. As we look to 2026, we feel so proud of what we’ve achieved together — and mindful of how much work remains. But we know that, together, we can and will continue to make a difference.

Our investigation found South African parks still linked to the lion & tiger bone trade. Cub-petting → canned hunts → bones exported. It’s one big system of suffering. Please add your voice to end it:

Fireworks are beautiful to us — but terrifying for animals. This New Year’s Eve, please consider kinder alternatives: Projector light shows, laser displays, stargazing, or simply doing something kind for animals. A peaceful start to the New Year helps all beings.

Tigers dragged by their tails. Elephants chained so tightly they can barely move. Crocodiles beaten and forced to open their mouths for tourist “tips.” Our new investigation exposes shocking abuse at Thai wildlife facilities. Sign: link.ladyfreethinker.org/thaizoo
