If animals ran the world, war would not exist. Human egos make us feel superior. But our actions and inactions loudly declare the opposite. But then there are exceptional human beings like Jesse Adams, killed in Ukraine this wk, while rescuing animals. RIP

Jesse Adams was murdered by the Russian terrorists with an FPV drone on Oct 25 while evacuating animals near the frontline in Kramatorsk, Ukraine. He first came from Canada in April 2022 to save animals.
Musk wants you to have sympathy for his killers. What a corrupt world.

That night, a caretaker named Andre Bauma held her against his bare chest to keep her warm, beginning a bond that would last until her final moments, 14 years later.
He had held her close when she was a helpless baby, watched her grow, and stayed beside her until the very end

Last week I was asked if we could take 2 golden retrievers who had been surrendered. As soon as I saw the video of them looking frail, broken and unwell I agreed. 2 very kind ladies fought for their freedom and drove the dogs to meet our team today.
The story is complicated and I won’t go into it here. What I can share is that a third sibling died. Although these 2 dogs look ok at first glance there are so many problems. Their fluffiness is covering some very malnourished and unhealthy dogs. Despite that their tails won’t stop wagging.
The ladies who saved them named them Bonnie and Clyde. The perfect names for 2 dogs on the run from their past and hoping to start a new life with us.
There are a lot more questions than answers right now for these 2. What I do know is that we will try our very best to save them, build them back up and make better lives for them. Bonnie and Clyde have had some early treatments and are sleeping beside each other in the hospital.
Let’s see what we can do 🤞❤️

A very sad day for the rescue world 💔
Deeply saddened to learn about the loss of Jesse Adams, founder of RainCoast Dog Rescue Society, who passed away while saving animals in Ukraine.
The world has lost a true hero and a champion for the voiceless. Rest in peace, Jesse 🕊️

This is Skye. He was lured out of Kruger National Park in South Africa a few weeks ago and illegally killed by JARED WHITWORTH from Kentucky during a safari hunt. Skye’s life was worth more than the amusement of a hunter. It’s time to #BanTrophyHunting once and for all!

53 orangutans have now been rescued from forests devastated by fires in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, and the scale of destruction is horrifying.
More than 48,500 hectares have burned this year. Orangutans are being found starving, injured and desperately searching for food in forests that have been destroyed.
These are critically endangered animals losing the very habitat they depend on to survive. How much wildlife must suffer before protecting forests becomes a priority rather than an afterthought?

I was driving into La Conner this morning, just outside of town, where the first trumpeters of the autumn season arrived. These birds are amazing. We literally had a National Geographic moment with heavy snowfall earlier in February of this year. #wawx #pnw #nature @MimiRitZ244

ANOTHER endangered and endemic primate species suffering in the Indonesian fires! 😔🔥
Kebakaran hutan juga terjadi di Gunung Ciremai, Jawa Barat. Mungkin nanti kalau udah sampai Hambalang baru Prabowo tetapkan jadi Bencana Nasional.
Ada kisah yg menyentuh hati. Seorang petugas berhasil menyelamatkan seekor anak Surili yg terjebak di atas pohon, ketika kebakaran melanda Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai.
Surili merupakan satwa endemik Jawa bagian barat meliputi Banten & Jabar. Status konservasi Surili dilindungi oleh Keputusan KLHK dan dikategorikan sebagai satwa terancam punah. Diperkirakan populasi Surili di alam liar hanya tersisa 4.000 - 6.000 ekor saja.

US energy company execs have resigned in disgust as the Trump family is caught secretly expediting the funneling of $25 billion from a sanctioned Russian energy giant in exchange for allowing Russians to obtain a natural gas project in Alaska.
According to investigations by The New York Times and Financial Times, Russia's Novatek allegedly concealed its financial involvement in the American project through a UAE-linked intermediary.
Gentry Beach, a longtime Trump ally and close friend of Donald Trump Jr., signed an agreement with Novatek to pursue natural gas development in Alaska. Reuters documented the arrangement in February.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin discussed this cooperation on the Alaska energy project with Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, during negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine.
The controversy deepened when Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, raised concerns about concealed Russian financing and possible sanctions violations. He departed in September, followed by other senior executives.
The Financial Times also described discussions about a potential arrangement under which Novatek would provide technology for the Alaska project in exchange for sanctions relief benefiting its Arctic LNG 2 development in Siberia.
According to The New York Times, Riddle and two other departing executives warned the Trump administration about the Russian financing and urged officials to investigate.
The White House maintains that the project was mentioned only briefly and that no detailed discussions took place. There is no established evidence that Kushner or Witkoff knew about the allegedly concealed financing. Polar Train LNG denies wrongdoing.
The central question is how a sanctioned Russian energy company became involved in a major American energy venture while Putin was discussing potential economic cooperation with Trump's representatives and a longtime Trump family associate was pursuing a separate agreement with the same Russian company.
Selling Alaska to the Russians or selling Ukraine to the Russians - to the Trump family it's all the same.

People think that animals are “looked after” on farms. 🥺
But as @JohnOberg explains, this is about as far from the truth as possible. 😣
Can you “look after” someone, whilst raising them to be killed for food (that people don’t even need)? 🤔
Living #vegan is truly the best way to look after animals. Don’t you agree? 🧡

在屠宰场干了5年，告诉你一个秘密：动物今天要死，它们全都知道
我在屠宰场干了整整五年，每天跟猪牛羊打交道，见过的生死场面成千上万。说句掏心窝子的话，没入这行之前，我跟大伙儿一样，觉得牲口嘛，吃吃睡睡，稀里糊涂一辈子，哪懂什么生死。可五年下来，我摸透了它们每一个眼神、每一个动作，才发现自己当初多天真——这些不会说话的家伙，心里跟明镜似的，自己哪天走，清清楚楚。
平日里，待宰圈那叫一个热闹。猪拱猪、羊顶羊，抢食的打闹的，眼神清亮温顺，该吃吃该喝喝，天塌下来都不耽误长膘。可一到屠宰当天，那气氛说变就变，比翻书还快。整圈牲畜像商量好了似的，瞬间安静下来，挤成一团，紧紧挨着彼此，浑身抖得跟筛糠一样。那抖不是冻的，是打骨头缝里渗出来的恐惧。你赶它走，它四只脚死死扒着地，几百斤的大猪平时一轰就跑，那天愣是钉在原地往后缩，好像前面那条通道是鬼门关。老话讲“万物有灵”，我原先半信半疑，后来彻底信了。
牛的表现更让人心里发酸。但凡当天要走的牛，从早上起就不吃不喝，低着头杵在墙角，一动不动。我亲眼见过无数次，大颗大颗的泪珠子顺着牛眼角往下滚，湿漉漉的眼睛望着你，不挣不扎不吼叫，就那么默默流泪。有一回，一头养了好几年的老牛被主人牵来，主人站栏杆外看了一眼，那牛瞬间红了眼眶，直勾勾盯着主人，温顺又卑微，一步三回头地跟着我们走。那画面，我这辈子忘不掉。羊也一样，平时蹦蹦跳跳软软糯糯，临了却异常安静，紧紧偎着同伴发抖。赶别的羊成群往前冲，唯独那天，你推我挤谁都不肯带头，偶尔被单独牵出来的小羊，发出细细的凄厉叫声，不是闹腾，是真害怕。
时间一长，我们工人不用看单据不用记编号，单凭状态就能判断个八九不离十——活蹦乱跳的是来日方长，沉默发抖、不吃不喝、眼神惶恐的，全是今日宿命。你说它们听不懂人话、看不懂流程，怎么就掐得这么准？其实道理不复杂，流水线一开，前面的同伴一个个消失再没回来，后面的全看在眼里；环境里那股肃杀的气息、同类压抑的悲鸣，它们比人敏感百倍。俗话说“蝼蚁尚且贪生”，何况这些大牲口？它们沉默、发抖、流泪，不是傻，是无力回天的绝望。
五年下来，我这心态彻底翻了个个儿。刚入行那会儿年轻心硬，只当是谋生糊口的活儿，见多了也就麻木了。可干得越久，心越软，越觉得该存一份敬畏。走出屠宰场，我再也不糟蹋粮食，每一块肉背后都是一条热烈活过、恐惧过、挣扎过的命。它们从出生到落幕，没做错任何事，却坦然接受了既定的安排。反观咱们，衣食无忧平安顺遂，倒常常为鸡毛蒜皮纠结、为一点得失内耗，想想真有点滑稽。
所以你看，活着本身就是天大的福气。所有的矫情、焦虑、委屈，搁在生死面前，屁都不是。心存敬畏，懂得珍惜，善待万物，大概就是人这辈子最好的修行。说到这儿我倒想问问你——下次端起饭碗的时候，会不会也想起那些沉默发抖的生灵，然后觉得，眼前这口热乎饭，真香？
