Their Silence is Deafening

Photo: Dead animals, some in body bags and some not, stacked in grocery carts outside Associated Humane Societies in New Jersey. The idea that remaining silent in the face of injustice makes you a participant in it is not a new one. It goes back millennia and is universal. The Archbishop Desmond Tutu said it like this, "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." "Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor,

Ongoing Atrocities in New Jersey's Largest Shelter System Point to Broader Issues in Sheltering

The ongoing atrocities at the Associated Humane Societies have been well documented by the State of New Jersey, dating back decades. They show systemic failures in the state's largest animal sheltering system that have gone unaddressed, while the people in charge have raked in millions of dollars. We will spare our readers some of the goriest details. Nathan Winograd covered those himself. For those who want to read them, they can do that here. We also won't dive too deeply i

As Hurricane Irma Slams Florida, People Are Still Trying to Figure Out What is Happening to Pets in

Hurricane Irma, a category 4 storm, is currently battering South Florida, with winds so strong they reportedly snapped a construction crane in downtown Miami, even though Irma is moving up the OTHER coast of the state. And, as animal welfare organizations begin preparations to help Florida shelters, many people are still wondering what is happening to pets "rescued" in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Eastern Texas about two weeks ago.

Warning to Houston Pets and Their People: PETA and HSUS are Coming to Help

As if things are not bad enough for Houston's pets and their people... they are suffering through record-setting flooding in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. But, things may be getting worse, because People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) say they are coming to "help." If history is any indicator, that really means that they will squeeze their donors for cash, they will do some glossy fundraising, and they will kill

PETA Promotes Cruelty and Killing in Lake County, Florida, and Elsewhere

No Kill advocates across the nation were thrilled when Lake County, Florida Commissioners recently announced plans to transition the municipal animal shelter to No Kill.

Court Documents Show PETA is Worthless #PetaIsWorthless

A recently released court decision has animal advocates smiling for all kinds of reasons. And, it represents good news for animals and bad news for the inappropriately named organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. It involves a civil case against that organization, whose staff were caught on video stealing a beloved family pet. Shortly after the theft, PETA also killed the dog, along with several others they also took from the same area that same d

Is PETA's Culture of Killing a Cult?

It has been nearly a year since the world learned that staff at People for the Ethical Treatement of Animals (PETA) had stolen a little girl's pet Chihuahua (named Maya) and killed it. We also learned that Maya was not the only pet stolen and killed that day. Since then, there have been protests, calls for investigations, new proposed regulations in their state to help curtail the thousands of needless deaths at their Norfolk shelter, which appears to be (at least according t
