Sorry don’t know how to do a trigger warning with a repost. I’m reposting hoping to save lives. 🤷♀️
Hey, I used to buy designer dogs too. I didn’t know. 😢 we have to help each other be better humans to other humans and to nature. It’s how we grow. Social media can be a good tool for this.
All these fashionable big headed designer dog breeds like #frenchbulldog #pugs #mastiff …can not give birth naturally. Every single litter is a dangerous C section for the moms because the dogs have been designed to have huge heads and pushed in faces. She’s cut open every single time. The pushed in faces and all the skin folds causes massive health issues – 100% for looks. 😔
Ever think about how this all happens? 😔
The breeders are in business. It’s a business! Living beings as products.
There are better and worse breeders but it’s still a business. Is it like better and worse slave owners? Sure it was better when slaves were treated better, and educated and allowed to stay together in families…it’s all still part of a business exploiting living sentient beings. Still not an ideology I can support. If that analogy pisses you off…why? “Dogs are not humans! ….how dare you compare them to humans!!! Humans are superior to dogs and deserve more rights!” Ok…how many more rights? Just some or none or all? Dogs (and cats) have the intelligence of a 3 year old. They think. They feel. They have nerve endings. They want to live. 🤷♀️ if it pisses you off…why? Tell me why below.
Animals do not have to be a pure blood to be love able. They are not products. They are living feeling sentient beings.
Also for every dog NOT adopted, millions, who are like my beloved kids, die. All because they are not pure blood? 😢
That’s my ideology. I can love them no matter what their DNA. I’m a mutt too.

You won’t want to watch how breeding dogs is actually sexual abuse, but you need to. #WestminsterDogShow

Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers 🥰
I will call my mom and also ingest no dairy. As I treasure my mom I won’t harm someone else’s Mom.

THIS IS ALL DAIRY. HER BABIES ARE KILLED TO SELL THE MILK, CHEESE, YOGURT, COFFEE CREAMER….
Repost @peta
Mothers of all species can relate to Edie Falco, who loves her children undyingly. But mother cows in the dairy industry are separated from their babies so humans can have their milk instead.
This #MothersDay, celebrate all mothers and ditch dairy.
So I found this baby black capped #chickadee on the busy side walk with two cats two feet away watching him/her & I had my dogs on leash w/ me. I didn’t know what to do!! So I scooped him up in my hand & put him in a box and called the @audubonsociety & left a message (they never called back).
I then called @dovelewispdx – a vet hospital that says they also handle wild animals. I was on hold for an hour & then she said he’s a fledgling & this is normal & to put him back in the tree in a strawberry box.
I tried. He jumped out of it in 1.6 seconds & was back on the ground. I got the immediate neighbors to bring their cats in but everyone in portland lets their cats out 😠, & they are everywhere. Yesterday I saw a cat get a baby bird while the parents dive bombed the cat. 😭
So I kept putting the little guy back in the tree on the lowest branch. I saw the parents coming to feed him.
This is a very busy sidewalk w/ dogs, skateboards, strollers & he was very hard to see.
For a long time he had stayed in the tree & was fed & he slept.
I went to check on him at midnight & he was lying in the dirt, splayed out on his face & looked dead. 😵
I brought him back in & put him in the box in a rag made nest & would call the vet again in the morning. I could see he was rhythmically jerking. He was alive, barely.
In the morning he was dead. 😭
I buried him & said a few words.
I don’t think the advice I got was 💯 correct. I googled the crap out of it & they all said don’t move them unless they are in danger from cats, if so put them back in the nest (I had climbed the tree up 12 feet high-no nest), or on a higher branch. their best chance is with the parents. I saw the parents.
This poor little dude was days from being able to fly. I can’t see how he would have made it at this busy spot on the ground! Not with so many cats, dogs, pedestrians, strollers….
But he also had to fall from that tree over & over! That can’t have been right. it also said online Do not move them far from the parents, but the only shrubs were not terribly close. Next time I’ll barricade the area & protect him on the ground! #babybird
My babies are 7!!!! 😩😻😻 My lord I love them! All this love from a flyer outside Trader Joe’s of two kittens found in someone’s garage. Thank God for rescuers and bottle feeders and fosters who saved my kids!

We cannot stand by while our dogs’ ancestors are being relentlessly hunted down in horrific ways. Just last month, a hunter in Wyoming ran a young female wolf down with a snowmobile, tortured and taunted her, and ultimately killed her behind a bar. His penalty? A $250 fine.
Join us & @kristinbauer in raising your voice. Take action for wolves today at RelistWolves.Org and follow @relistwolvescampaign for updates on opportunities to continue advocating for the Gray Wolf.
Beautiful walk with the pups and @hoverair_global following us! How gorgeous to be in the #pacificnorthwest with SO MUCH GREEN!!! So many trees that haven’t even been trimmed!! (Unlike the LA over tree trimming psychosis). Wild trees, wild yards, nothing uniform or over controlled, so much water….so beautiful. #portland
These photos from today will be paintings. #rose #rosecity #portland #artist #painter
#roadtrip happening!!! Me and my #dogs up to the #pacificnorthwest !!!

In my family two children have died. You never really recover.
I am actually so shocked and saddened that this needs to be said….
But here it goes -please forgive me as I’m sure I’ll get it wrong – can we stand up for all children everywhere all at once, even in the most extreme complexity? Can we want the hostages home and also want children fed. Can we believe children dying on October 7th in Israel in columbine in Auschwitz in Palestine in Africa in India in Ukraine and Russia or ANYWHERE ….is an unspeakably heart breaking occurrence.
There is plenty of room in our hearts and our minds to wish for a world where children and adults and animals don’t die in conflict and wars, especially those who are bystanders and have no say.
Maybe We can hold space for this impossible dream???
I am confused that even this vision could be polarized.
Don’t polarize me and my posts! I make no comment on anything that much smarter people than I are also impotent to change or even understand, much less agree upon actually or solve for the last 8 decades and since the beginning of time actually. I have zero answers but I do have concern for the children of the world in all countries.
My repost of this is in no way against anything or for anyone beyond the children and that is it! ALL children!
I have no idea on Gods earth how that could in any way be something we can all not agree upon. 😢
I’m having to say this as I’m being attacked mercilessly, even by a close friend, who I would have thought knew me better.
I probably can’t do any good here and may just be attacked further but how does one stand by and not say….can we protect 78,000 infants? Is that possible? Is it? Does it help to have any discourse??? Or is this impossible?!

Today I met this lovely lady on the street talking about rescue aid to Gaza. I became a monthly donor for @rescueorg – right now all tax deductible donations are doubled. #gaza #palestine #aidforgaza #aidforpalestine

Are you ready to dive in with our “A Sea of Hope” series?
Explore Aotearoa (New Zealand) where local advocates and Indigenous leaders allow the ocean’s voice to speak through them in our latest episode– streaming now on YouTube! Through these changemakers’ deep connections with the waters they call home, they lead the way toward restoring the region’s ecosystems.
Diving into New Zealand’s depths, we discover that what was once a thriving, bountiful underwater metropolis has become a desolate and empty landscape devoid of activity. Overfishing eliminated key ecosystem contributors within the region’s kelp forests, and in our interconnected natural world, dramatic change rippled well beyond the impacted marine species.
In a country whose territory is 93% ocean, only 0.38% of its regional waters fall within a protected area. But in those sparse safe havens, an amazing contrast appears. Lush kelp flows with the currents, and life abounds among the rich algae ecosystem.
Visit the link in our bio and discover the power marine protections can possess for the health of our ocean’s ecosystems.

Not sure why they make it so hard to get this info but just FINALLY reached them and fyi @boody bras are #nontoxic #pfasfree and @oeko_tex certified – if you are looking for a nontoxic bra!!!
I listed to this incredible book on @audible – #benjaminferencz was 103 when he died last year, he was Jewish, a WW2 veteran and was the prosecuting attorney in the Nuremberg trials where 21 of the most important surviving Nazi leaders and six German organizations were tried for plotting and carrying out invasions of other countries across Europe and atrocities against their citizens in World War II. 75 MILLION people died.
I can’t recommend this book enough. It is his last words to us. He believed that the atrocities will continue until man is able to resolve conflict NOT BY FORCE but by communication and legal discourse.
We can say, “oh that’ll never happen!” ….oh it will. Either now or after WW3.
And Benjamin LIVED IT! He was a living example and embodiment of a more evolved way of being. And he was happy and healthy and sharp as a tack until his dying day, and had the greatest romance and love anyone could wish for.
It’s a book I will return to over and over. The audible version is wonderful.
It seems we have not learned from the unthinkable atrocities that have occurred on earth over and over. The largest genocide in history was of Native Americans – 250 MILLION dead.
History repeats until we listen and learn from those wiser than we. Benjamin was one of them.
