For far too long, the biomedical industry has bled horseshoe crabs ancient mariners who are endangered.
But as of May 1, the industry is now allowed to use synthetic alternatives.
Now, the biomedical industry has no excuse: stop killing horseshoe crabs.

Jeers to Rosebud Baker+ @desilydic.bsky.social for their grotesque attempt at comedy on @thedailyshow.com, joking about kicking pigeons while wildlife is suffering from bird flu. Pigeons don’t deserve scapegoating...violence against animals isn’t a punchline. friendsofanimals.org/jeers-to-ros...

Wildlife killing contests are the epitome of cruelty.
Wildlife killing contests are cruel and unnecessary, but momentum to ban them is growing. Ten states have outlawed them, and a federal bill, H.R. 8492, would ban them on public lands. Urge your representatives to support it! #BanHunting #BanWildlifeKillingContests
Killing contests in the crosshairs in 2025
At Friends of Animals, we’ve always understood that hunting is barbaric and entirely needless. The good news is, it’s an industry in freefall. Despite this decline, wildlife killing contests, where ...

Thrilled that Dansville Fish+Game in NY just announced they’re canceling their "Squirrel Scramble." Why? Because killing contests for wildlife were banned in 2023. They knew it was illegal, tried to sneak around the law, got called out, + were ultimately forced to shut it down. So gross.
