The Supreme Court is going to stop protecting clean water

Clean water is a human right. The Supreme Court Wants to Gut the Clean Water Act. Congress Must Protect It!      Sign Now      Annisa,   Yet another vital piece of environmental legislation in the United States is at risk, and this time it's our water that will suffer. Supreme Court justices have recently expressed alleged concern about the "broad reach" of the Clean Water Act. At a time when our ecosystems are arguably more fragile than ever from the threat of global climate change, we cannot afford to take any more steps backward. But Congress can act quickly to save our water supply and water resources, codifying the Clean Water Act into law!   Sign now to demand Congress act before the Supreme Court guts this vital environmental legislation!    The Clean Water Act has historically been a cornerstone of U.S. environmental policy. For decades, it was used by the EPA to protect society's right to clean water -- both in our taps and in the country's wetlands and waterways. We cannot let a handful of right-wing judges destroy our water supply! Sign the petition now if you agree! Thank you, Kelsey Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Since disgraced ex-President Donald Trump was able to appoint three highly conservative judges to the most important court in the country, decades of environmental progress are now at risk.      Sign Now

70 of the caged pets were already dead.

He collected hundreds of pets, then neglected many to death. He Locked 665 Animals in His Home, and Many Died From Horrible Neglect. Sign Now      Annisa,   Authorities in Nebraska discovered a startling 665 animals in a man's home. These included chinchillas, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, snakes, finches, and even exotic birds. Sadly, with so many animals in the house, it was impossible for the man to sufficiently tend to and care for them all. As a result, most of the animals were horribly injured, malnourished, or otherwise sick because of chronic neglect. Officials were forced to euthanize two of the surviving animals because they were so badly wounded. Just as heartbreaking, investigators found that 70 of the pets were already deceased, their corpses laying around inside the house among the living.   The rescued animals received veterinary care from the Nebraska Humane Society, but experts warned that many of the pets will continue to experience health challenges for the rest of their lives. It's not surprising, considering what the animals went through. When visiting, investigators found urine and feces littered throughout the man's home. On top of that, there was very little food and water -- some animals didn't have any provisions at all. Authorities have since arrested the man and charged him with animal cruelty that resulted in death. However, even if he is found guilty, that doesn't automatically mean he will never own pets again, because of Nebraska's lax laws. We must protect other animals from this terrifying fate! Sign the petition to demand that authorities ban this animal abuser from ever adopting, owning, or living with animals in the future! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Authorities must ban animal abusers like this man from owning pets again. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

A veterinarian beat this frightened dog while it cried in pain

Authorities must revoke this veterinarian's license. A Veterinarian Choked and Beat a Crying, Cowering Dog While His Family Recorded Video Sign Now      Annisa,   The video starts with the Michigan veterinarian inside someone's home -- possibly his own -- and he is shouting. He directs his anger at a German shepherd, who cowers with his ears back and body trembling, holding himself low to the ground. He stalks up to the pup. Then the vet grabs the animal, throws him down on the ground, and begins to strangle him. Hands wrapped around the animal's throat, he holds him there, choking him as the poor dog whimpers and cries in pain. Then, as if that weren't enough, he picks up the dog and smashes him against the ground multiple times. The video is filled with the haunting sounds of the pup desperately yipping and screaming, unsure how to escape the abuse.   As a medical professional who serves animals, this man made a vow to protect pets and other animals and to improve their welfare. At this point, it's unclear if he also abused any animals at his official veterinary office. We also don't know if he's ever been violent towards humans. Research has shown a strong link between abusing animals and abusing people as well. Investigators say they traced the video back to the veterinarian's family, and likely his son. The family member who took this video then uploaded it to YouTube where it gained public attention. If this man has so much rage and anger that he would beat and attack an animal, it's concerning to think what else he might do. So far, officials have charged him with misdemeanor animal abuse. But he still has his license for continuing to practice as a veterinarian. Authorities must conduct a full investigation into this man's history of animal cruelty, and ban him from ever practicing veterinary medicine again. Sign the petition if you agree! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The Michigan Board of Veterinary Medicine must protect other animals by revoking this man's license now. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

Spain's hunting dogs are getting brutally killed

The dogs are tortured and killed in droves each year. Hunting Dogs Are Being Left Out of Spain's New Animal Welfare Law      Sign Now      Annisa,   Spain is following the lead of many other European nations and passing sweeping legislation which promotes animal welfare across the country. This is amazing news for millions of pets, but the current version of the legislation excludes hunting dogs, who are tragically tortured and killed in droves each year. The Spanish government must make sure this new law includes all animals, not just pets!   Sign now to demand the Spanish Government include hunting dogs in the newly proposed Animal Welfare Law!   Many dogs spend most of their life in frozen kennels, forced to live in their own excrement or drink dangerous, dirty water. And at the end of the season, the dogs that don't perform end up abandoned or brutally killed. In fact, investigators found that a shocking 50,000 to 80,000 dogs were abandoned or hanged when their owners decided they were no longer useful. There is no reason a supposedly progressive animal welfare law would exclude hunting dogs. We must tell the Spanish government to amend the proposed law to include hunting dogs! Sign the petition now if you agree! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The Spanish government's animal welfare law doesn't include hunting dogs. Demand action!      Sign Now

Trump put a climate denier in charge of helping poor countries affected by climate chaos

Biden must appoint someone fit to lead the World Bank. The President of the World Bank Is a Trump-Appointed Climate Denier. He Must Be Removed From Power.      Sign Now      Annisa,   Climate change is already massively impacting every corner of the globe -- and poorer people are being hit the hardest. Studies have repeatedly shown the poorest countries on earth are suffering the worst consequences of climate chaos, even though they contribute almost nothing to the problem compared to rich, politically powerful countries. Devastating wildfires. Crop-destroying droughts. Fatal floods. Projections show these problems will likely only get worse.    The World Bank is an international financial institution, and it's main mission is reducing global poverty. By giving loans to poor nations to help improve standards of living and boost their economies, and financing large-scale projects ranging from local public health programs to energy and infrastructure, the World Bank can bolster low-income nations against the extreme effects of climate change before they happen, and help them recover afterwards. But recently, Trump-appointed World Bank President David Malpass refused to state plainly that the burning of fossil fuels contributes to climate change, claiming that he is "not a scientist." This is a form of climate denialism, and anyone denying the scientifically proven reality of human-caused climate change is not fit to serve as a leader of one of the most important financial institutions in the world. Sign now to demand that President Biden immediately remove David Malpass from his position as President of the World Bank! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The World Bank is tasked with helping poorer countries, which are suffering the worst consequences of climate change. But the president of this institution is a climate denier.
