Your Help Can Keep Kids from Going Hungry This Summer!

-

According to the USDA, more than 16 million children in the U.S. suffer from food insecurity.

For millions of kids, summer vacation means three months without the subsidized school lunches and breakfasts they've come to depend on as a primary source of nutritious, stable meals. Without those balanced meals, kids may not have the energy to do what kids should do over the summer - play with their friends, have fun and just... be kids.

Feeding America is working to address the gap. You can help. Pledge to learn more, spread the word, and share your time and generosity to make sure no kid has to go hungry this summer!

Blog Post: Dog Left in Crate When His Family Moved

-

It was one of those stories that was so appalling that people had to share it. A PETA supporter learned from someone at her workplace about a couple who had moved out of their house and left their St. Bernard there alone, caged in a crate 24 hours a day. She called us immediately.

After tracking down the owners, we learned that they were going once a day to give the dog food and water but were forcing him to spend his life alone in the crate, where he also had to relieve himself. We pressured the local police department and animal control to talk to the couple and convince them to surrender the dog. Thankfully, they agreed.
