I drive by this facility about once a month, and every time I see something horrible. We've filed complaints with Kern County Animal Services regarding animal welfare concerns and with the water board regarding bodies being dumped. So far, nothing has changed.

📉 2.9 million dogs entered U.S. shelters & rescues last year.

🐶 29% were puppies.

✂️ Dogs arriving already spayed/neutered fell from 33.2% in 2019 ➡️ 22.3% in 2023.

🏥 In 2019, 212 high-volume clinics performed 1,217,240 spay/neuter surgeries nationwide (cats + dogs).

Should the American Veterinary Medical Association Guidelines protect consumer confidence in animal-based protein and the industry’s social license to operate? Or should they protect the interests of animals, public health, & food security?

What do you think our government should be incentivizing with public funds? Corporate interests or the interests of everyone (no matter their species.)

This is basically what I tell veterinary students and pre-vet students. Listen closely:

Should we fund spay/neuter or billionaires?

On this No Kings Day,
@mayoroflosangeles.bsky.social 's LAPD are once again kettling peaceful civilians in Downtown Los Angeles, and they are tear gassing people.

I was photographing chickens at a slaughterhouse and a local came up to me to talk. I was not expecting the conversation to take this turn...

This spay/neuter recovery video got 250k+ views and 25k likes.

Most popular comment? “Doing paperwork on top of them feels disrespectful 😂”

Meanwhile…

Rodeo. The Kentucky Derby. Cat declawing. Modern intensive animal-based protein production.

What counts as “disrespect” to animals is wild.

Drama? Gurl, do I look like I have time for drama?

I do have plenty of time to stand with my ladies and fight injustice.

If you call that drama then… 💅

Lately, I've been thinking about which species would be infected next.

During my observations in the California Central Valley, I couldn't help but notice several herds with deceased sheep alarmingly close to large poultry and dairy facilities.

89 cats spayed and neutered.

How I spayed and neutered 25 dogs and cats today.

#vetmed #tnr #veterinarian #onehealth

This is how we spayed and neutered more than 90 cats.

#onehealth #tnr #spayneuter #communitycats #vetmed #veterinarymedicine

This is how we spayed and neutered 84 cats.

#spayneuter #tnr #communitycats #vetmed #vettwitter #animalrights #vegan

This is how we spay and neuter 100 cats in a day.

I think the government should fund this, and not prop up billion dollar corporations that harm public health, animal welfare and our food security.

Telling the 27,000 attendees at VMX how the AVMA barred us from the Cargill-Sponsored Humane Endings Symposium (for being against the mass killing of farmed animals via heatstroke).
