B.C. Chicken Farm Exposed for Gruesome Animal Cruelty - This is the third B.C. chicken farm to be exposed in under a year for animal cruelty. Chickens were filmed being beaten, used in sexually explicit jokes, and in some cases, ripped limb from limb while still alive. Mercy For Animals wants to see the company and all of the workers charged with animal cruelty. Check out what I have to say about this and also get some tips on buying eggs from reputable sources!

Kenya proposes death penalty for poaching - In an effort to put an end to poaching once and for all, Kenya is proposing a death penalty for convictions of poaching. Their current methods have helped curb poaching significantly since its peak in 2013 / 14 but they've reported it's not enough. Is the death penalty an appropriate punishment when you consider a species' livelihood?

On this episode, I'm tackling animal testing and discussing why it is cruel, unnecessary, and hardly 100% accurate. Innocent animals are subjected to grueling experiments, given horrible diseases, and spend their lives in tiny cages. There's absolutely nothing humane about it and it's time to put a stop to it on a global level.

Also, I'm discussing a story from the Guardian titled, "Dirty Meat". The story discusses an investigation into U.S. meat processing plants that turned up some rather unsettling details. Carcasses piling up due to broken equipment, filthy water flooding the grounds due to meat clogged drains, and meat covered in abscesses and feces. Is any of this surprising? This isn't just happening in North America, it's a worldwide problem! It's time for a reform!

1. WWF REPORT: Nearly half of Canada's Wildlife is on the Decline - There's plenty of reasons why this is happening and not surprisingly, most of them are man made problems. We continue to destroy the planet and in doing so, the animals suffer the most.
2. ESA Act Under Attack By Congress - The Endangered species Act was put into place to protect endangered species from extinction. They boast a 99% success rate with listed species yet they're reportedly being attacked by congress. With Trump's denial of climate change and obvious disregard for animals, is this surprising? 
3. The Vegetarian / Vegan Divide - I've been a Vegetarian for almost 16 years and have received my fair share of criticism but admittedly, the worst of it has been from Vegans. I want to dive into this issue and offer some tips on how to handle negative comments!

Recently, Miley Cyrus spoke out and said that someone who claims to love animals but still eats / wears them doesn't truly love animals, they love pets. Hearing this, I was intrigued and started to ponder this statement to myself. I was immediately pulled in every direction and looked to a few coworkers, friends, and family for answers. Surprisingly, I received a variety of responses which enticed me to do a little clip.

​In this video, I'm debating this statement and offering a few supporting facts for each side. I end with my own opinion and encourage you all to comment and get involved in the debate. 

Can you truly love animals but contribute to their daily torture, neglect, and slaughter?

Hot Dogs left in car leave Georgia woman charged with 2 counts of cruelty - A Georgia woman who left her 2 dogs in her parked car while she attended a movie is facing two counts of animal cruelty after police were alerted to the situation. If convicted, she faces fines up to $1, 000 and jail up to 6 months. She deserves the punishment but when you consider that a charge of animal cruelty involving severe beating, starvation, or neglect, could bring the same charges, it's clear the system is flawed. I'll be discussing why this system needs to change to punish people appropriately for the crimes against animals committed. 

ANOTHER British Columbia chicken facility being investigated for animal cruelty - After a woman walking her dog witnessed what she considered abuse and reported it, a chicken farm is being investigated by the SPCA. This is the second chicken related case of animal cruelty in British Columbia in the past two weeks. There is only ONE solution and I'm going to break it down to you!

Kangaroo killed and propped for photos in Australia - A kangaroo was shot approximately 3 times, tied to a chair, dressed and posed with a bottle of liquor for a photo roadside in a public area in Australia this past week. Police are seeking witnesses for information in hopes of finding the person / people involved. I find it hard to believe nobody saw anything, an activity like this would take time so it's very likely people drove by and disregarded what they saw. Why wouldn't anyone report it? Let's discuss this.

LIVE DONKEY FED TO TIGERS AT A ZOO IN CHINA- Shareholders decided to take it upon themselves to save on animal feed by feeding the tigers live animals. This show of defiance and clear disregard for animal life is not unusual for China and that's the problem! Animals deserve much better and China needs to step things up. Perhaps it's time for other western countries to step up their own animal rights to set an example.​

EXTERMINATION OF GREY SQUIRRELS IN BRITAIN - It is believed that the North American grey squirrel is wreaking havoc on the native red squirrel's territory. Red squirrels are dying of illnesses the grey squirrels appear to be immune to so the obvious solution is to slaughter them all. (NOT!) Culling is not an effective means of dealing with this sort of situation and I wonder if they have truly thought this through. Is there proof that without the grey squirrels the squirrel pox will disappear? Let's discuss this!

SADISTIC ABUSE OF CHICKENS ON BRITISH COLUMBIA FARM - Undercover video exposes abhorrent abuse on two separate occasions involving several employees and a supervisor. Chickens were beaten, dismembered, and forced to perform sexual acts on one another. The reported abuse was so bad that viewers of the tape could not finish it. This farm is affiliated with Elite Farms Group who have been exposed for abuse on another of their properties in the past. This is a clear indication that these industries are not being monitored heavily enough. C'mon Canada!

Dear Canada, your country is disgusted with your approach to animal rights. Your country wants to see animal cruelty convictions associated with proper punishments. Your country is ashamed of its animal rights track record. It's time to wake up and realize that animals are so much more to us than possessions, they're family. If our laws don't start protecting our family, we will continue to speak out.

Please Canada, hear our cries. Update our animal cruelty laws and be at the forefront of animal rights. Prove to the world that we are as compassionate and empathetic as we claim to be. Change starts with you Canada, will you step up?


Check out my video and make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share the shit out of this. I'm determined to see animal rights improved in our country and I need your help!
