💔 334,000 dogs were euthanized in 2024.

📉 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).

“Life eats life”—but does it have to?
Advances in precision fermentation now allow us to produce the same proteins found in cow’s milk—without the cow. These animal-free dairy products replicate the taste, texture, and nutrition of cow-based milk.

The animal-based protein corporations, feed crop corporations and pharmaceutical industry want to prevent business innovation and deny consumers the choice to consume protein produced in alignment with their values.

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.)

YouTube video by Crystal Heath Veterinarian Arrested Documenting the ICE Protests in Los Angeles

I made a video describing what happened during my arrest on Tuesday during the ICE protests in Los Angeles.

I was kettled, detained, and loaded onto a bus with dozens of others — all while trying to document what was happening.

YouTube video by Crystal Heath 📸 Security Tried to Stop Us—But Then This Happened at a $10M Bird Flu Bailout Site

We were investigating bird flu outbreaks in the Central Valley of California when this worker told us we could not photograph private property. Then the conversation took a turn… How would you handle this situation?

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...

Meanwhile…

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

What counts as “disrespect” to animals is wild.

Videos reveal lax biosecurity in New York poultry markets amid bird flu outbreaks | BBC Science Focus Magazine As bird flu cases mount at inner city poultry markets, footage obtained by BBC Science Focus shows workers and the public exposed without recommended biosecurity measures

New footage I captured inside NYC poultry markets reveals open doors, no masks, no biosecurity — while bird flu spreads.

There have been 22 outbreaks in Queens markets since February.

As bird flu hits cattle herds in U.S., scientists say these H5N1 factors worry them most Bird flu infections have been rare among people, but the pathogen is evolving, which has scientists worried about a possible pandemic.

As the H5N1 bird flu virus mutates and rapidly spreads through American cattle herds — a first for the U.S. — doctors and veterinarians are fearful that if the virus is left unchecked, it could spiral into a possible pandemic. https://cbsn.ws/4ionCJG

Veterinarian Dr. Kay Russo told 60 Minutes that the U.S. is running out of time to stop bird flu.

Let's support animal-free methods of food production and stop this ever-escalating arms race against nature.

Several weeks ago, @60minutes.bsky.social contacted me after seeing my photos of H5N1-infected cows. “You seem to be one of the few people talking about this,” they said.

I’m grateful they used my footage for this piece.

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… 💅
