While manta and devil rays were listed under CITES Appendix II, illegal trade increasing.
An uplisting to CITES Appendix I, ban all commercial international trade in mobulid products.

🚨 University of Washington's Arizona primate breeding center is breeding MORE monkeys 🚨

400 globally endangered monkeys are suffering in this disgusting facility, plagued by ramshackle, contaminated infrastructure, & chronic understaffing, leaving hundreds in the care of just a few vets!

Same as all animals, octopuses are sentient beings with the ability to suffer. It is our obligation to avoid harming octopuses by the fishing industry, pollution and climate change.

🚨 TAKE ACTION to ban octopus farming in the US ➡️ aldf.org/project/octopus-act-federal/

Hasan Piker is lying when he says Kaya got caught on something...

Here's a photo another person found while freezing the frames from the livestream... He definitely shocked his dog to keep her on screen longer and score him views.

Hasan pikers dog, kaya, facing away and wearing a thick collar that resembles a shock collar

🐻 Grizzlies are dying at record rates in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem — and politicians are still trying to strip their federal protections.

⚠️ These bears are already squeezed by climate-driven food shortages, expanding human activity, and a system that too often treats wildlife as expendable.
