U.S. states must stop ticketing homeless people for existing

We call on state governments to lead with empathy and justice. Tell U.S. States to Stop Ticketing Homeless People Just for Existing      Sign Now      Annisa,   In cities across the United States, unhoused people are being punished simply for existing without a home. This is the harsh reality faced by countless homeless individuals across the United States, as they are ticketed for sleeping in public spaces — a direct consequence of their circumstances. This practice not only worsens their struggles but also challenges the very essence of human dignity and compassion.   Sign this petition to urge state governments to enact laws that prohibit ticketing homeless individuals for sleeping in public spaces.   The Supreme Court's upcoming decision to consider whether cities may issue tickets to homeless people sleeping on public property is a critical moment. It raises fundamental questions about our society's treatment of its most vulnerable members. Unhoused individuals often have no choice but to sleep in public areas, especially when adequate shelter or housing is not available. Penalizing them for this is not only cruel but counterproductive. No matter what the Supreme Court decides, states must pass laws that forbid the ticketing of homeless individuals for sleeping in public spaces. Sign this petition to support the enactment of laws that protect the rights and dignity of homeless individuals.  Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. States must stop ticketing homeless people.

After he killed two dogs execution-style, this man's murderous operation was uncovered

His treatment of these animals was brutal. A Man Was Running an Illegal, Private Slaughterhouse in His Long Island Backyard. The Animals There Were Living in a Nightmare.      Sign Now      Annisa,   The idea of an illegal, personal slaughterhouse sounds like something straight out of a horror film. But for this large group of animals including dogs, cows, pigs, sheep, and goats, it was a very real place where they were being held captive. A man was keeping them prisoner, depriving them of clean water and food, and slowly killing them, one by one.   First, authorities became aware of two German Shepherds that this man had shot — one was left paralyzed, and the other (just a puppy) had died. Then, they took a look around the rest of the man's property... and what they discovered was sickening.   Nearly a dozen more dogs, and a "multitude" of pigs, cows, chickens, goats, and sheep were living in misery. Allegedly there were dead animals and horrific displays of body parts everywhere. The smells, sights, and sounds must have been unbearable for rescuers.   The nightmare is over for the animals who survived who are making their way to foster homes with the help of rescue organizations. But we must make sure that no other animals are subjected to this man's cruelty ever again. That's why we're asking for lifetime ban on animal ownership in this man's sentencing. Sign the petition to protect future animals! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. A man was running an illegal, private slaughterhouse out of his Long Island backyard. The conditions were brutal for dogs, pigs, and more being held captive there. Sign for justice.      Sign Now

240,000 nanoplastics are in your water bottle. We need a plastic-free future.

Governments must ban plastic for food and beverages. Nanoplastics Are Invading Our Blood, Cells, and Organs. Companies Must Go Plastic-Free Now! Sign Now    Annisa,   You've probably already heard that, we're drinking about a credit card's worth of microplastics every single week. Now, researchers have discovered that, on average, plastic water bottles sold at grocery stores contain 240,000 pieces of nanoplastics. Nanoplastics are even tinier than microplastics — which makes them more dangerous for human health. They shed from plastic products, including water bottles and takeaway food containers. Because of their size, nanoplastics can travel into and invade our cells, bloodstreams, and organs — including our brains. They've even been found in placentas, meaning we can pass them along to fetuses. Plastics are derived from fossil fuels and manufactured using a variety of toxic chemicals. Once deposited in our bodies, they have been linked to cellular and endocrine disruption. Even worse: these nanoparticles don't disappear. They just build up inside our systems. Luckily, there are alternatives to plastic. Some are new technologies, like compostable products, and others have existed for generations, including the use of metal, paper, and glass instead.   There's one way to stop this horrible trend now: governments must ban companies from producing or using plastic products for food and beverages. Sign the petition to demand major world governments protect human health and the environment now!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Governments must ban plastic production and usage for food and beverages to protect us from dangerous nanoplastic particles. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

Stop the brutal cull of wild horses in Australia's national park.

They go up in helicopters and shoot wild horses up to 15 times each. Wild Horses Are Being Gunned Down and Terrorized Inside an Australian National Park Sign Now    Annisa, The New South Wales government in Australia has approved a trial policy of shooting wild horses to death. Even worse, it's claiming this cull is somehow humane! Authorities are specifically targeting feral horses living inside Kosciuszko national park, a place that wild animals should be able to consider safe. This supposedly "humane" cull involves terrorizing horses, chasing them with helicopters, then gunning them down from the sky with a "repeat shooting" policy. On average, each horse was shot upwards of seven times. Some had as many as 15 bullet wounds. Culls aren't only terrifying for animals, they're also ineffective. And the New South Wales government should know that. It first began trying to cull feral horses back in 2021, but the population of wild horses has only increased since then.   So it's chasing and gunning down these animals — for what? Clearly not for population control, since history has shown this tactic doesn't even work. Sign the petition to demand the New South Wales government abandon its cruel horse slaughter scheme!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Stand up for animal welfare and tell the New South Wales government to end this cruel "repeat shoot" culling policy. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

He put shock collars on his children and tormented their dogs

These kids and pets should be given the opportunity to heal together. A Father Put a Shock Collar on His Children and Regularly Tortured Their Pets As Well Sign Now    Annisa, Authorities have responded to a horrific case of animal and child abuse in Edmonton, Canada. For years, a father and two other adults tortured seven young children and multiple pets in their care — including through beatings, stranglings, other forms of assault, and malnourishment. He also apparently applied a shock collar to some of the children, who ranged from 2 to 13 years old. According to Edmonton's staff sergeant: "Without question, this is one of the most disturbing cases of child abuse that our Child Protection investigators have ever seen." The couple as well as the third adult face upwards of 100 charges, including aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, unlawful confinement, and animal cruelty. The children are now in foster care, while the pet dogs have also been rehomed. But what happens next? It is important that these children and pets remain connected as they work to heal from their trauma together. Even if it is difficult to find a family to take in everyone, local agencies must find a way to keep them regularly connected as they build a new sense of safety. Sign the petition to urge authorities in Edmonton, Canada to implement a plan that will keep them connected to each other as a way to build resiliency!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. These children and dogs have already survived so much; they shouldn't also have to suffer the heartbreak of losing each other. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
