The plan to kill barred owls never made sense. Now it’s diabolical. Join our campaign to stop it.

On the left is the Barred Owl. They'll be issuing 500,000 kill permits over the next 3 decades and encouraging people to kill on sight. On the right is the endangered Spotted Owl. Killing a Spotted Owl is punishable with up to 1 year imprisonment and a fine of $50,000.

🌎 Every species plays a crucial role in our ecosystem! 🦉We cannot afford to overlook the far-reaching impacts of the proposed plan to exterminate 500,000 barred owls. Spread the word and tell @Interior Sec. Haaland to squash this proposal. #BarredOwl ijpr.org/npr-news/2024-04-01…

Many of the #kangaroos gunned down by commercial hunters don't die when shot. They flee with mortal wounds to their face or body and die in agony, at times with joeys in their pouch or by their side. As Chair of @adidas Supervisory Board, @ThomasRabe can compel the company to join Nike, Puma and New Balance in making the switch from "k-leather" to #crueltyfree materials. #kangaroosarenotshoes #adidasfootball #adidas #yeezy

It's encouraging that the last horse meat butcher in Paris has hung up his carving knives. Foreign demand for parts of American horses is receding even in the isolated markets that once financed the trade. bnnbreaking.com/lifestyle/fo…

Former OU football coach Barry Switzer is calling on Governor Stitt to clarify his position on cockfighting and hopes he made a "terrible mistake," according to a press release. He adds it is cruel, "deeply unpopular" and illegal.

According to Animal Wellness Action, YouTube has removed the video of Gov. Stitt "cheering on" the legislative efforts of Oklahoma Gamefowl Commission because it violates the company’s community guidelines by promoting cruelty to animals.

BREAKING: MAGA Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma ignites a furious scandal by throwing his support behind a deranged organization trying to legalize the incredibly violent "sport" of cockfighting. The Republican Party has truly lost its mind... Stitt gave a video greeting to the annual Oklahoma Gamefowl Competition, a group that has donated to numerous state lawmakers — including Stitt — in an effort to decrease the penalties associated with cockfighting, the utterly barbaric practice in which roosters are forced to tear each other to bloody shreds. In the video greeting, Stutt told the viewers that he wants to "cheer you on from the sidelines." Activists are understandably outraged. "I have never seen a governor of a state associate himself or herself with the cockfighting community and ‘cheer them on,’" said Wayne Pacelle of Animal Wellness Action. Even Oklahoma's former Republican Governor Frank Keating is speaking out. Keating was in office when the state outlawed cockfighting in 2002. "It is an embarrassment to me that any elected official seeks to turn back the clock on this morally settled issue," said Keating. This is what the modern Republican Party stands for. They embrace cruelty in all its forms and see empathy as a weakness rather than a virtue. The sooner these monsters are voted out of power, the better.
