This Father's Day let's celebrate the importance of spaying and neutering dogs and cats. By preventing unwanted litters, we can help control the pet population and reduce the number of animals in shelters. Remember, male dogs and cats DO NOT play a direct/active role in raising their young making spaying and neutering a crucial step in responsible animal stewardship. HOW CAN YOU HELP? Support World Tails spay/neuter initiatives that positively impact animal welfare. You can donate directly to us or purchase items from our SWAG SHOP or ONLINE VET SHOP as all proceeds go towards helping animals all across the globe. https://lnkd.in/eDM6Y-rA Let's honor all fathers, including those furry ones, by advocating for responsible animal welfare through these initiatives. #Fathersday2024 #worldtails #SpayandNeuterAwareness #animalwelfare #veterinarymedicine #veterinarian #supportnonprofits #animalcharity

Last week I met some folks who had some understandable confusion over the law surrounding research experimentation on chimpanzees! It is, in fact, unfortunately still legal, in the US, to conduct biomedical research on chimpanzees. The only thing that changed in 2015 when NIH decided to retire its own chimpanzees from use in research and to discontinue support for research testing on chimps, is that chimpanzees have not been used in federally sponsored research since 2015. Private research companies can, and very much do, continue inhumane, inefficient, ineffective, and invasive testing on chimpanzees in private labs. What IS illegal, however, is to deny those chimps who HAVE been retired from federal research their sanctuary, as mandated by the CHIMP Act of 2000 which created and funded the federal chimpanzee sanctuary system. NIH continues to hold over two dozen chimps at a private facility rather than sending them to Chimp Haven where they, by law, belong - to live out the rest of their days in what can be as close to freedom as they'll ever have known. 🐵 💔

"If somebody is committing violence to a human, then it is statistically more likely they are committing violence to a companion animal as well." — Kathleen Wood, Animal Legal Defense Fund. This is an article in this month’s edition of the National Link Coalition's letter. The quote by Kathleen Wood of the Animal Legal Defense Fund underscores the significance of recognising the link between animal abuse and domestic abuse. Recognising this link has significant implications for policy development and intervention strategies aimed at addressing these intertwined issues. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need to integrate animal welfare considerations into the broader framework of domestic abuse prevention and response. This holistic approach acknowledges the impact of animal abuse on the well-being of both human and animal victims, needs coordinated efforts to provide comprehensive support and protection. By enhancing the capacity of judges to consider the implications of animal cruelty in cases of domestic abuse, this educational initiative contributes to a more comprehensive and informed approach to adjudicating such complex matters. Additionally, integrating this awareness into judicial decision-making processes can lead to more effective interventions and protective measures for both human and animal victims. #AnimalWelfare #AnimalAbuse #DomesticAbuse

Dog adoptions have flatlined since the pandemic and shelters are beyond capacity. What can we do about it? Join our Life of Riley partner Shelter Animals Count next week to dig deeper into this troubling trend and explore solutions to increase adoption. https://lnkd.in/eH2gGR5e

Annually, we observe Animal Cruelty/Human Violence Awareness Week, shedding light on the undeniable link between abusing animals and harming humans. This week serves to raise awareness about the interconnectedness of these issues and the urgent need for societal change to combat cruelty. The observance aims to educate the public on the intersectional nature of animal and human abuse, advocating for better treatment for both beings. Additionally, it encourages support for local non-profits dedicated to protecting and healing those most vulnerable to abuse and violence. STOP!

Looking forward to attending this webinar on the many factors contributing to decreased dog adoptions!

Animal Shelter Euthanasia’s in America are increasing exponentially. The number of Americas companion animals euthanized in shelters increased by 15% in 2023 and compared to 2022, and up 29% compared to 2021. The trend indicates that animal shelters in the U.S. are facing a perplexity and complexity of leadership challenges leading to overcrowding and increased intake and kill rates in America. www.greenPetsAmerica.org
