Some shelters brag about “saving” lives. But what about the animals they refuse to take in? On the latest episode of The Rocky Mountain Vet Podcast, PETA Senior Vice President Daphna Nachminovitch joins Dr. Jeff Young and Andrew Duffer for an unfiltered conversation about “no kill” policies and the growing number of “ghost animals” they betray. In the episode, you’ll hear how some shelters use that slogan to boost their image, while quietly turning away the animals who need help most. Sick. Injured. Elderly. Unsocialized. The ones who require real resources and tough decisions. If you want a clear, candid look at what’s really happening behind “no-kill” messaging, and who is paying the price, please listen and share https://lnkd.in/eiPtMV-Z #animalshelter #NoKill #Podcast #ghostanimals #dogs #animalprotection #Veterinarian #unfiltered

Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
About us
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) entities have more than 10.4 million members and supporters globally, and PETA U.S. is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, in the food industry, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. PETA Foundation was founded in 1993 as an organization that helps PETA run, and includes departments like IT, Development, and Interactive Media. PETA and the PETA Foundation are two separate organizations but work very closely together. Looking for a career in animal rights? See our open positions here: http://www.peta.org/jobs.

Incest and inbreeding? It's a taboo for humans, so why is it ok for dogs? Your cute smushed-faced dog is suffering. And AKC is not OK. What's PETA doing about it? Plenty. Jakob Shaw tells Emil the problems with BIBs, that's stands for breathing impaired breeds. Time to take a stand against torture breeding. https://lnkd.in/efwE82cZ #podcast #dogs #suffering #BreathingImpairedBreeds #TortureBreeding #TakeAStand #cruelty #TakeAction #advocate #activist #AnimalRights #animals

Pop quiz: What’s the most feared school subject? For a lot of kids, college students, and parents, it’s … lunch. The best time to fix that is now, because next year’s menus are currently being planned. Growing bodies need the best fuel they can get. With one quick email (we have a template below!), you can urge your local school to add JUST Meat to the cafeteria lineup for next fall. This one action will help bring America’s future leaders a kinder, more inclusive lunch option. https://lnkd.in/etxNRTPn #justmeat #PlantBased #vegan #eatjust #freshfood4all #schoollunch #SchoolNutrition #HealthyPlanet #HealthyKids #SchoolNutrition #MakeaDifference #takeaction #Activism

Liora the dog once spent her life at the end of a chain. She was slowly choking to death by a collar that cut so deeply into her neck, her skin started growing around it. Back then, she was called Cinnamon, and she’d been forced to live outside alone since she was a puppy. But not anymore. Thanks to the dog’s determined saviors—PETA’s fieldworkers, who’ve helped countless neglected cats and dogs just like her—Liora’s story is a tail of triumph. https://lnkd.in/eA45QtvN #dogs #care #rescue #ShelterDogs #AnimalRescue #AdoptDontShop #RescueDogs #Peta #Fieldworkers #BanChaining

We’re Happier Than Ever that Billie Eilish, one of the most acclaimed and influential artists in the world, is speaking up for our fellow animals—and PETA’s making sure the world remembers it with a bold new billboard in Times Square declaring: Billie Eilish Is 100% Right. You Can’t Love Animals and Eat Them, Too. After all, birds of a feather stick together—and she’s chosen the right flock. The gigantic display—next to a McDonald’s and Popeye’s—is giving Big Apple passersby food for thought, including fans headed to watch Billie’s new concert film, Hit Me Hard and Soft, at the AMC and Regal theaters nearby. https://lnkd.in/eR9MUTWf #billieeilish #HitMeHardAndSoft #concertfilm #Animalrights #Veganism #govegan #Billboard #timesquare #nyc #compassion

The deaths of 31 sloths at a sleazy operation called “Sloth World Orlando” are making headlines—but the death toll at the now-defunct planned petting zoo is much higher. In just a year and a half, dozens of animals have reportedly died while in the facility’s care—as many as 52 sloths since December 2024, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission inspection records obtained by PETA. After these most recent deaths, Sloth World’s warehouse was issued a “stop work” order, essentially shuttering the outfit ahead of its Spring opening—but it’s already too late for the animals who have already suffered and died. We’re not going to let this go without accountability. That’s why, on April 30, PETA filed a complaint with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement calling for a cruelty investigation into company co-owners Peter Bandre and Benjamin Agresta. https://lnkd.in/eNfJaVXg #sloths #cruelty #NotYourEntertainment #NotOurs2Use #suffering #death #investigation #complaint #animals #rescue #AnimalLiberation #AnimalRights

As Sir David Attenborough turns 100, PETA UK is celebrating the legendary man who has awakened millions to the wonders of the animal kingdom and for his condemnation of the devastating efforts of the meat industry on our planet’s ecology. The beloved broadcaster has brought landmark, award-winning natural history series to screens, including Life on Earth, The Blue Planet, and The Private Life of Plants. So what’s PETA UK doing for his centennial celebration? Naming a rescued bull in his honor. https://lnkd.in/eubgZCwC #SirDavidAttenborough #gift #birthday #PETAUK #legendary #AnimalKingdom #landmark #CentennialCelebration #rescued #bull #AnimalLiberation #AnimalRights
