Today is American Circus Day—a moment to reflect. For decades, elephants, lions, and tigers were used for entertainment, often taken from the wild and trained through fear. Today, that’s changing. More circuses are going animal-free, and more people are choosing compassion.

Is animal abuse a precursor to other types of abuse? Yes! Find out what attorney, Christine Mott, says about it in the full episode at betterlifeforanimals.com/podcast/054-...

When we hear about the beagles at Ridglan, we’re heartbroken—and we should be. But cows, pigs, and chickens suffer too, just as deeply. Compassion shouldn’t depend on the species. If it matters for one, it should matter for all. Learn more at betterlifeforanimals.com #animaladvocacy

Even in traditional places, change is happening. At Vintage in Sun Valley, I asked for a vegan option—and got something thoughtful, creative, and compassionate. More places are listening. Sometimes, all it takes… is asking. www.vintagesunvalley.com #CompassionateEating #VeganOptions #PlantBased

Every 2 weeks, I share stories, ideas, and conversations that inspire compassion for animals. The latest issue includes my personal vegan journey, a powerful discussion with Clare Mann, a sanctuary spotlight, fundraising ideas, and more Join our community today. betterlifeforanimals.com/newsletter/

In my conversation with Susan Hargraves, I saw what 40+ years of humane education can do. She’s helping children truly see animals—and once that shift happens, it stays. If you believe the next generation can lead with compassion, this is a must-listen. betterlifeforanimals.com/podcast/008-...

The stories children grow up with matter. Films that encourage empathy and compassion for animals can shape how the next generation sees the world. More meaningful conversations. More connection. More kindness. That’s the future we should be building together. #thesheepdetectives #animaladvocacy

Most egg-laying hens are discarded at just 1–2 years old. In this episode, Erica shares how rescuing one chicken changed her life and how Second Hen is now helping hundreds of ex-commercial hens experience freedom, grass, and compassion for the first time. betterlifeforanimals.com/podcast/065-...

More than 2,000 beagles are still inside, and the system that kept them hidden is finally being forced into the light. What happens next depends on pressure, awareness, and everyday choices. Change comes when people stop looking away—and demand better. #BetterLifeForAnimals #AnimalAdvocacy

What Jessica shares here is something most people never see. Sanctuaries don’t just expose people to what animals have been through—they give people a place to process it. In a space built on care, consistency, and respect… something shifts. betterlifeforanimals.com/podcast/063-...

Today, #Russia again seeks to erase Crimea’s identity through occupation, repression, and propaganda.

today we moved some of the tadpoles, only little ones I could find with my son moved them into the South pond that we covered with wire mesh. Don’t worry the frogs won’t drowned. We put burlap on the sides and we will have PVC pipe running out of the pond that the frogs can climb into.
