💕Spay Neuter Rescue Adopt🐕🌎 One Health 🌍 Prevent the next pandemic 🐮Compassion for all🐣🐷🐮 I don't eat my patients.
📉 2.9 million dogs entered U.S. shelters & rescues last year.

🐶 29% were puppies.

✂️ Dogs arriving already spayed/neutered fell from 33.2% in 2019 ➡️ 22.3% in 2023.

🏥 In 2019, 212 high-volume clinics performed 1,217,240 spay/neuter surgeries nationwide (cats + dogs).

The animal-based protein corporations, feed crop corporations and pharmaceutical industry want to prevent business innovation and deny consumers the choice to consume protein produced in alignment with their values.

Should the American Veterinary Medical Association Guidelines protect consumer confidence in animal-based protein and the industry’s social license to operate? Or should they protect the interests of animals, public health, & food security?

What do you think our government should be incentivizing with public funds? Corporate interests or the interests of everyone (no matter their species.)

This is basically what I tell veterinary students and pre-vet students. Listen closely:

On this No Kings Day,
@mayoroflosangeles.bsky.social 's LAPD are once again kettling peaceful civilians in Downtown Los Angeles, and they are tear gassing people.

I was photographing chickens at a slaughterhouse and a local came up to me to talk. I was not expecting the conversation to take this turn...

This spay/neuter recovery video got 250k+ views and 25k likes.

Most popular comment? “Doing paperwork on top of them feels disrespectful 😂”

Meanwhile…

Rodeo. The Kentucky Derby. Cat declawing. Modern intensive animal-based protein production.

What counts as “disrespect” to animals is wild.

Drama? Gurl, do I look like I have time for drama?

I do have plenty of time to stand with my ladies and fight injustice.

If you call that drama then… 💅

Your 401k is tanking, but guess who’s thriving?

Cal-Maine Foods—the nation’s largest egg producer—got $44 million of your tax dollars after losing birds to disease.

They’re also raking in record profits and their stock price is soaring thanks to higher egg prices.

Do you get a cut of that?

Interestingly, the UK recently conducted tests and confirmed the presence of avian influenza in a sheep. However, I have a hunch this might not be an isolated case.

Anyone know if we are testing sheep here in the US?

Lately, I've been thinking about which species would be infected next.

During my observations in the California Central Valley, I couldn't help but notice several herds with deceased sheep alarmingly close to large poultry and dairy facilities.

Real cute day today.

There is a reason you only hear about the price of eggs and not the bailout money or Cal-Maine's stock price.

The Cargills and pharma execs need you to keep feeding chickens and supporting egg subsidies so they can buy another yacht.

94 more kitties were spayed and neutered today.

Bluesky says my 30-second timelapse video is too big to upload, so I will have to post it on my other platforms.

This is how we spay and neuter 100 cats in a day.

I think the government should fund this, and not prop up billion dollar corporations that harm public health, animal welfare and our food security.

Telling the 27,000 attendees at VMX how the AVMA barred us from the Cargill-Sponsored Humane Endings Symposium (for being against the mass killing of farmed animals via heatstroke).

The industry tells people that those of us who are against the AVMA legitimizing the mass extermination of influenza-infected flocks with heatstroke have no viable alternative.

Yes, we do. Learn about it here, and ask your tough questions.
