Several men tortured and poached wildlife for fun

They posed for photos with the corpses of wildlife they illegally killed. They Were Caught Torturing and Poaching Wildlife Using Crossbows and Guns, Then Posing for Photos With the Carcasses Sign Now    Annisa,   Several men in Michigan were caught poaching and torturing animals — all illegal actions that they are currently facing charges for. The men apparently targeted a variety of animals, including six deer and one porcupine. In one instance, the men simply sat cozy and comfy inside of a truck while leveling an innocent adult buck using a gun fired through the window. Then, they posed for photos with the dead animals as though it were funny. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has concluded that these men chose to act in cruel ways, regardless of educational campaigns officials have conducted. Their spree of multiple crimes against wildlife was committed using a variety of different murder weapons, not limited to guns but also including bows and crossbows. These men are criminals. They have broken the law by illegally shooting and killing protected wildlife, and also in some cases subjecting those animals to torture. Authorities must take action now to keep other animals — and humans — safe. Sign the petition to demand that officials remove these men's access to guns and crossbows, and revoke any hunting licenses they might have! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. They have proven that they are not safe individuals to trust with deadly weapons. Their firearms should be taken away and if they have legal hunting licenses, those must also be revoked immediately.

Breaking: Israeli witnesses allege human rights violations against Palestinian prisoners

The UN must mandate an investigative body to uncover the truth. Whistleblowers Allege Severe Abuse of Palestinian Prisoners at Israeli Detention Centers. Ask the UN to Investigate.      Sign Now      Annisa,   Israeli whistleblowers have come forward to CNN investigative reporters with harrowing allegations about what goes on inside their military's detention camp at Sde Teiman.    The Israeli military has been holding Palestinians at Sde Teiman since the Hamas-led attacks in October 2023. While at the detention camp, whistleblowers allege military forces have subjected these prisoners to outright torture.    The accounts include extreme beatings; constant tying of hands that have sometimes resulted in amputations; medical procedures being performed by underqualified medics; detainees being stripped, forced to wear diapers, and constantly blindfolded, sometimes being tied to beds in the field hospital; the use of extreme physical restraint and stress positions; and much, much more.   If these accounts are true, this means that Israeli forces’ treatment of Palestinians are in violation of international law as it pertains to human rights.   Before these whistleblowers came forward, Sde Teiman had already come under scrutiny from both Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations. Israeli activists have held protests demanding this place be shut down. We elevate their voices today in defense of human rights and dignity, according to international law.   Sign the petition asking that the UN Human Rights Council mandate an investigation body to look into these allegations, and protect these whistleblowers in the process. Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Israeli whistleblowers claimed to have witnessed immense human rights abuses at facilities detaining Palestinians. We are demanding an investigation.      Sign Now

A sweet dog was tortured with a shock collar

An intervention is vital. She Was Caught Torturing Her Dog With a Shock Collar. Demand Justice!      Sign Now      Annisa,   In a shocking incident caught on video, a dog endured severe abuse at the hands of its owner. The footage revealed the use of a shock collar for torture and the animal being struck while confined to a cage. The horrifying cruelty displayed in these acts led to the arrest of the perpetrator on two counts of animal cruelty, but more needs to be done.   Sign the petition to demand the animal abuser get a lifetime ban on animal ownership and mandatory counseling to address what could have caused this!   Thankfully, the mistreated dog and three others from the same home have been rescued and are now receiving necessary medical care. This intervention is vital, but it does not undo the trauma inflicted. We must advocate for these animals to ensure they are placed in safe, loving homes, permanently free from abuse. Sign this petition to urge the authorities to ensure this person never comes near an animal again! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We must advocate for these animals to ensure they are safe and loved. Act now!      Sign Now

Trapped working in the heat for hours with no water, shade, or rest

Republicans want to see the working class suffer. Florida Just Made It Illegal To Protect Workers From the Extreme Heat. Speak Up Against This Senseless Cruelty.      Sign Now      Annisa,   Florida Republicans just passed a law prohibiting cities from making sure workers get enough water, shade, and rest while working in scorching heat. Every year, approximately 2,000 workers in the US die from heat stress. This is an emergency. Not only did Florida Republicans pass such a cruel rule without a second thought; they passed it within the same bill that rolled back child labor restrictions. These heartless lawmakers want to let kids work, and then let them burn. This is unthinkable. Imagine working outdoors in temperatures as high as 100 degrees and not having guaranteed breaks for hydration or to rest in desperately needed shade. It's a recipe for worker abuse -- and worker death.  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has the power to "set temporary emergency standards that take effect immediately" that can later be replaced by more permanent standards — they must use this power to protect workers at the federal level, and override any state laws like Florida's awful one (no one will be surprised to hear that there's a similar law in Texas).   Sign the petition demanding OSHA enact emergency heat protections for workers immediately! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Florida just passed a law that makes it illegal for cities to pass heat protections for workers. Sign to help get people the water, shade, and rest that they need.      Sign Now

65 pets found dead in couple's home, hotel, and car

How did they accumulate so many animals? They Collected Almost 200 Pets, Then Watched One-Third of Them Die Sign Now    Annisa,   A couple in Nevada hoarded almost 200 animals in their home, a hotel residence, and a car. Of those animals, 65 were already dead. Authorities received multiple complaints from neighbors near the couple's property as well as the hotel. Once authorities finally received a warrant to investigate, what they discovered was horrifying. A freezer contained 42 dead animals, filled with the corpses of dogs, hamsters, tortoises, and guinea pigs. Two dozen animals remained alive on the property, but they were suffering from severe malnourishment and veterinary issues, standing in feces and without access to proper food and water. Back at the hotel, the couple had collected another 75 animals — 12 of which were dead dogs. In their car, authorities found 11 dead guinea pigs among a larger collection of 40 live guinea pigs and rabbits. How in the world did they wind up accumulating 194 animals in the first place? Who was selling them these pets? Why did sellers not verify that these individuals could be responsible pet owners? The couple have since been arrested, charged with "willful or malicious torture, maiming, or killing of an animal," and banned from animal ownership. This is an important start. But we still need more answers. Sign the petition now!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The couple claimed they weren't even aware that some of the animals were dead.
