He kicked a dog and hurt his girlfriend - yet he's still a cop.

His pattern of violent behavior against animals and women must be taken seriously. This Cop Kicked a Dog, Then Committed Domestic Violence. Why Hasn't He Been Fired Yet? Sign Now    Annisa,   A police officer in South Bend, Indiana, has been charged with yet another act of violence.    Just recently, he was found guilty of animal cruelty for brutally kicking a dog and throwing it from his truck a year ago. During that same incident, his ex-partner also observed him "roughly handling [their] daughter," leading neighbors to become concerned for her safety due to her obvious distress.   Now — just last week — witnesses saw the man and his current girlfriend arguing in public. Afterwards, he apparently followed her home, where he began behaving in a "rough and aggressive manner." At that point, he grabbed his girlfriend hard enough to leave visible marks on her body and flung her to the ground. Studies show that individuals who commit animal abuse are far more likely to engage in domestic violence and other forms of harm. Despite this clear pattern of ongoing violent behavior, this man remains an officer with the South Bend Police Department, only being temporarily relieved of duty while investigations are conducted. What will it take for authorities to prioritize public safety over protecting this officer? Sign the petition today to demand that the South Bend Police Department immediately fire this dangerous man.   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This is not a man who should be wearing a badge or entrusted with the responsibility of protecting others. He must finally be fired! Sign the petition.      Sign Now

Police shot and killed a distressed mother and her 2-month-old baby

They are the latest victims of police brutality. Police Shot This Mother While She Was Holding Her Baby, Killing Them Both. Join Us in Demanding Justice!      Sign Now      Annisa,   In Independence, Missouri, a family has been left devastated after local police shot and killed a mother and her 2-month-old baby.   Maria, the mother, was suffering from an extreme case of postpartum depression and was in distress. Her family called the police because they thought they could help her and her baby, Destinii. "If I had known that baby was in danger with the police officers, then I would have never said anything," Destinii's grandmother told reporters.   This is a sad realization for many who call the authorities for help, only to be met with violence. Police are meant to serve and protect, but excessive force is all too common in police departments across the United States. The officer who did this is only on administrative leave, meaning he is likely still receiving pay, benefits, and could very well go back to being a police officer. In fact, the police chief in Independence had the audacity to defend this officer's actions, meaning there could be a deep systemic issue on this force. That's why we're using this petition to demand action and answers! If enough of us come together, maybe we can push for some real change in Independence. Sign the petition demanding Maria and Destinii's killer be brought to justice, and that the Independence Police Department conduct a thorough investigation so this never happens again! Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S. A mother and her 2-month-old child were shot and killed by police, and we're worried their family won't get the justice they deserve.

Half of her 54 pets died. She put them in a freezer and 'casket boxes.'

She’d already been convicted of animal cruelty towards 37 dogs in Michigan before this. She Stuffed 7 Dead Dogs in 'Caskets Boxes' and 20 More in a Freezer — After She'd Already Been Charged with Animal Cruelty Sign Now    Annisa,   YA horrifying case of animal cruelty has emerged in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where authorities discovered more than 27 dead dogs on a woman's property. Another 27 surviving animals were barely clinging onto life. Police reported that the woman had procured six "casket boxes" and a large freezer, each holding the remains of multiple dogs — clear signs that this brutal treatment was not an accident, but actually premeditated. Of the survivors, 17 dogs and two cats crammed into filthy crates in a basement filled with the stench of waste. Most of the animals were emaciated. Authorities also discovered a guinea pig, a turtle, and six horses that were neglected and without regular food or water.   Shockingly, this is not the first time she has faced animal cruelty charges; she has a past conviction for similar crimes in Michigan. There, she had kept 37 dogs shoved into tiny containers and left them with festering medical conditions.   How could someone with a known record of abuse be allowed to amass so many animals again? Sign the petition to demand an investigation and also to ban her from future animal ownership!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This woman's actions have shown a blatant disregard for the safety and welfare of defenseless creatures. We cannot allow her to own animals ever again. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

5 million single-use vapes are trashed every week.

We must protect our planet from single-use vape pollution. Single-Use Disposable Vapes Cause Mountains of Plastic Pollution and Hazardous Waste. Ban Them Now! Sign Now    Annisa,   England and Wales recently took a monumental step towards reducing toxic pollution and safeguarding public health: banning single-use disposable vapes.   Each week, people toss out five million of these devices. This is wreaking havoc on our environment. And since their batteries contain hazardous chemicals like lithium, battery acid, and mercury, this is about even more than how horrible plastic pollution is. This is also about toxic contamination of our Earth, with chemicals leaking into our land and waterways. Disposal of these items has led to fires in trash receptacles and waste-processing facilities, toxic runoffs, and a sharp rise in dangerous pollution levels across our communities. And it doesn't stop there. Disposable vapes are often designed with bright colors and flashy packaging, which directly targets children and young people. Alarmingly, 90% of disposable vape users have never smoked cigarettes, but now they've become the next generation of nicotine users. This is fueling an epidemic of addiction. Countries like Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, and Brazil have already implemented similar bans, recognizing that single-use plastics are incompatible with a sustainable future. The decision by England and Wales to join their ranks by banning single-use vapes is a victory, but our work isn't done. Sign the petition now to urge the EU to also join the growing movement. It must ban single-use disposable vapes and align to reduce this dangerous waste!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Together, we can protect our planet from plastic and hazardous waste, curb youth addiction, and create a cleaner, healthier future for all. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

Help catch the killers of these endangered wolves

Their killings violate the Endangered Species Act. Justice for Endangered Wolves Murdered in Washington State      Sign Now      Annisa,   Tragically, two endangered gray wolves were recently murdered in Washington State. These weren't just any wolves; they were a vital part of our ecosystem, known for maintaining natural balance and biodiversity. Their deaths are a glaring violation of the Endangered Species Act.    Sign the petition to demand an immediate, rigorous investigation to find the killers, and implement stronger measures to protect remaining wolves and deter future illegal activities!   To make matters worse, it seems that past state-sanctioned killings of wolves to benefit private interests have set a dangerous tone, encouraging illegal acts like these. These wolves symbolize the wild and the ongoing battle between conservation and exploitation. Their protection is crucial. Sign the petition to demand authorities act swiftly and justly, ensuring the protection of these majestic animals and the integrity of our laws!
