On this day in 1959, Marfusha became the first rabbit in space, sent on a Soviet mission with two dogs, Otvazhnaya and Snezhinka. Although all three returned from the suborbital flight safely, it’s important to remember that they never volunteered to be test subjects in this terrifying venture.

WATCH: Elephants form 'alert circle' during earthquake at San Diego Zoo Safari Park African Elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park instinctively created an “alert circle” during the earthquake.

Video from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (which I’m not vouching for) shows a group of African elephants forming an ‘alert circle’ to protect themselves and their young during a recent earthquake.
Many thanks to Mark Hawthorne for bringing this to my attention.

This story hit the news today, and even the revered New York Times got the headline wrong. These piglets are someone, not something—so they were rescued, not “stolen.” Kudos to the activists who liberated the animals who were being starved to death in the name of “art.”

Petition: Ban Fur Imports into the UK We ask the Government to ban the import and sale of all fur products in the UK. Fur farming is banned here due to cruelty, yet imports support suffering abroad. We believe that this ban would align UK laws with ethical and environmental responsibility, closing the loophole that fuels the fur trade.

Fur farming is banned in the UK, but importing fur props up cruelty abroad. Animals suffer in cages, gassed or electrocuted for profit. Let’s close this loophole and end the UK’s role in the fur trade. Sign the petition and reject this injustice 👇
