A bull burned alive for "tradition"

Spain must stop this cruelty now. A Bull Was Set on Fire for "Tradition." This Cruel Spectacle Must End Now.      Sign Now      Annisa,   In the Spanish town of Medinaceli, a bull was forced to endure hours of terror and pain during this year's Toro Jubilo, which is a festival in which burning fireballs are strapped to a bull's horns and set alight while crowds look on. Despite calls from animal protection groups to end this cruelty, the event went forward, and witnesses described the bull's agony as endless.   Sign now to demand that Spain ban Toro Jubilo permanently and protect bulls from this horrific suffering.   During the ritual, the bull is tied to a pole, fireballs are affixed to his horns, and then lit, blocking his vision, burning dangerously close to his face, and leaving him disoriented, terrified, and desperately trying to extinguish the flames in the mud. According to witnesses, the chaos lasted more than two hours as the animal cried out in distress. This is not culture, it is cruelty. Spain can embrace its heritage without torturing animals. Sign the petition now to demand that the Government of Castilla y León and Spain's Ministry of Culture ban Toro Jubilo permanently, protect bulls from fire-based torture, and ensure that cruelty is never again disguised as tradition. Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This bull suffered for hours while spectators cheered. Sign the petition!      Sign Now

"A death trap..." Delhi residents beg for clean air

Delhi families are suffocating while leaders fail to act. "Breathing Is Killing Us!" Stand With the People of Delhi Demanding Local Officials Save Their Polluted City      Sign Now      Annisa,   Delhi's winter "pollution season" has become a yearly nightmare. A toxic, suffocating cloud settles over the city, forcing people to shut themselves indoors with air purifiers or flee entirely. For millions of residents who can't escape, simply breathing has become dangerous.    At a recent protest to demand action, one resident called Delhi "a death trap," while another held a sign that read: "BREATHING IS KILLING US!" And yet, local leaders have done far too little to address this crisis.   Every winter, Delhi's air quality index skyrockets to more than one hundred times the safe limit. One doctor put it plainly: the air is "literally killing our kids."   But this catastrophe is solvable. Car emissions, coal plants, farm burns, and waste-burning facilities are all sources we know how to clean up or replace. What's missing is political will. Delhi's residents are begging for action, and it's time for leaders to listen.   Sign to tell India's Minister of Environment, Bhupender Yadav: meet with protestors, treat this like the national public health emergency it is, and finally take bold action to save lives.   Add your name now. Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S. In the most polluted city in the world, residents are getting sick just from breathing. Sign for justice in Delhi, India.      Sign Now

He slammed his dog on the pavement. The law says he can pay to get her back.

Laws should prevent abusers from ever being able to get their pets back after harming them. An Ohio Man Violently Slammed His Dog to the Ground. Horrifyingly, He May Be Able to Get Her Back. Sign Now    Annisa,   Apparently getting caught on video violently abusing your animals isn't enough to keep them permanently safe from you. In an ongoing case, video captured an Ohio man brutally grabbing his dog Karma by her scruff and slamming her into the pavement.   He was charged with animal abuse — but if he pays a monthly fee for her care while he's in custody, he may be able to get her back in his possession. Who knows what he will do to her then. This raises massive questions not only about his specific case, but also about Ohio laws overall. No one should be able to pay their way out of  justice or put an abused animal back in danger! It's time for the state of Ohio to pass stronger laws preventing pets from returning to abusive households. Sign the petition now to speak out for helpless animals!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Merely paying a fee does nothing to indicate this man can responsibly own a pet without endangering them again in the future. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

Why is California letting farms spray PFAS forever chemicals on our food?

As the largest farm state in the US, California must protect public health, now. California Farms Are Spraying PFAS Forever Chemicals on Foods We Eat. This Must Be Banned, Now! Sign Now    Annisa,   Forever chemicals (PFAS) are toxic compounds that research has linked to various diseases, including cancer, immune disorders, thyroid issues, kidney and liver conditions, and more. So why did California allow farms to spray an average of 2.5 million pounds of PFAS each year on crops that we eat? Over the course of 6 years, from 2018 to 2023, the amount of PFAS sprayed on crops amounted to around 15 million pounds. This is because most pesticides contain PFAS — even the pesticides that the U.S. government has approved for use on food supplies. In fact, one report showed that upwards of 60% of active ingredients in most pesticides qualified as PFAS! Even worse, PFAS are attracted to water, meaning some fruits and vegetables end up absorbing more of the toxic forever chemicals. This includes water-intensive produce items like grapes, tomatoes, and alfalfa, as well as various nuts, including almonds and pistachios. And then, what happens after forever chemicals are applied to our food items? They're harvested, taken to grocery stores, and then... we eat them. We feed them to our families and children. Luckily, some parts of the world are taking action. The European Union has begun banning PFAS in certain pesticides, and is considering a larger plan to phase out PFAS use entirely. If the European Union can do this, then so can California. As the nation's largest agricultural producer, it has an obligation to prioritize the nation's health! Sign the petition to demand an immediate ban on toxic forever chemicals on farms in California!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Forever chemicals are linked to horrible diseases. Why are they still allowed to be sprayed onto our food? Sign the petition.      Sign Now

A man sexually abused a cat and threw it off a balcony

This innocent cat deserved better. A Security Guard Sexually Assaulted a Cat, Then Threw It From the Fourth Floor of a Building      Sign Now      Annisa,   The details of a recent attack on an innocent cat in Kota Kemuning, Malaysia are horrific, so please read on with caution. A security guard at an apartment complex was allegedly caught sexually abusing a cat, and when a brave resident confronted him, he threw the terrified animal from the fourth-floor of the building. The cat has not yet been found, so we have no idea if it survived this brutality or if it is in need of medical care.   Sign the petition to demand that Shah Alam authorities ensure this man is immediately fired from his position as a security guard, permanently banned from owning or living with animals, and required to undergo mandatory mental health counseling.   This level of violence is a clear sign of someone who poses a danger to animals and potentially to people, too. This act is deeply alarming. No community should ever have to fear this kind of violence and no animal should suffer like this. Shah Alam authorities must take decisive action to ensure he never has the opportunity to harm another animal again. Sign now to demand justice for this cat and protections for all animals and people in this community! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This man's violence is a red flag.
