This morning I learned that an estimated 10-20,000 big cats are kept as “pets” in the United States. 5,000 of these are tigers, which exceeds the number of wild tigers left: about 3,900.
This photo is from a story that recently made the news and is just one of countless instances where these animals are found in basement or garage cages, often agitated and living in deplorable conditions. These “pets” are typically owned by people who have no knowledge or room to raise such an animal. Once they become too big or ferocious to handle, they are further isolated and neglected.
There are also yearly cases of killings and maulings if these animals get loose, posing a threat to both owners and their neighbors alike.
In response, Representative Jeff Dunham (D-CA) has reintroduced the Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 1818) to prohibit ownership of big cats by private individuals and unqualified exhibitors. Please, tell your U.S. representative to cosponsor this commonsense legislation today.

They used to have a house 1hr ago now they are gathering its remaining, this Palestinian family (with 2 children), has got its house demolished by the apartheid Israeli occupation, a whole family has become homeless.
Save Silwan, Stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
The occupation continues to demolish Palestinians’ houses in Silwan, East Jerusalem.
these ruins used to be an apartment housing a Palestinian family (with 2 children) less than 1 hr ago, now the family is homeless.
Stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
The lawless israeli occupation has begun demolishing houses in Silwan, 1500 Palestinians are about to become homeless (including 900 children).
Stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
#SaveSilwan
Satan: How do you justify the killing of the Palestinian civilians by fully-armed soldiers?
IOF: easy, we throw a knife near the body and we claim self defence.
Odeh family is a Palestinian family, living in Silwan and the IOF forced them to demolish their own house, otherwise they will get their house demolished for them and get fined with >20,000$
Odeh family and other families‘ houses are going to be demolished and left homeless, this is a part of a zionist plan to forcefully expel the Palestinians from Jerusalem to change it from an arab-majority city to a zionist majority city, this form of colonisation is called “Settler colonialism” where the indigenous people of the land are being forcefully replaced by the people of the occupier.

Save the Palestinians from the Israeli terrorism
Save beita from the illegal Israeli colonisation
Hold this occupation accountable for its war crimes
“They Came Here to Attack Arabs.”
During the Israeli attacks on Gaza, the past May, Israeli settlers marked palestinians’ houses with red paints in Al-lydd city in Jerusalem, so they could be raided on by armed Israeli thugs.
Meanwhile, the “Garin torani” or the “torah seeds” group aims to create a jewish majority in Arab-majority neighbrhoods by forcefully displacing the indogenous palestinians from these neighborhoods and welcoming settlers from all around the world.
A soldier of the “world’s least moral army” spraying pepper at a press‘ face to prevent him from documenting their terrorism in Palestine.
Typical terrorists. Israel is nothing but a political cult, same as ISIS covering their war crimes in name of religion. Fuck Izrael and the world’s double standards.
Mohammad Al-Allamy (11 y-o) was shot dead today by IOF , he was directly targeted at his chest while he was sitting in his parents car coming back from a grocery trip, the Israeli military intentionally targets children. this is a cold blooded murder, we have to hold this fascist Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes against the Palestinians, share and expose these crimes.
Palestinian lives matter, save the Palestinian children from the Israeli terrorism.
Today marks 5 years since the U.S. funded “rebel group” Nour al-Din al-Zenki decapitated a 12 year old Palestinian boy, Abdullah Issa in Aleppo.
It’s a sad day in the world when a school sends a letter home with an eight year old regarding her lack of femininity.
Hmm, okay, so I keep seeing discourse about “the labor shortage”, and there’s a few huge very simple explanations aside from unemployment and low pay.
First, and at least President Biden and Governor Beshear of Kentucky addressed this one: CHILDCARE. Daycares have closed, have limited capacity, and I’m sure need workers like everyone else. Low-paying retail jobs don’t exactly letcha bring your kids with you, nor pay a whole hell of a lot for professional child care.
Who else provides childcare for parents? GRANDPARENTS. You know, the demographic that suffered the highest death rate from the pandemic. Along with losing a precious member of their family, families have also lost in them the person who cared for their child while they worked.
Relatedly, another reason for the labor shortage?
The nearly 600,000 DEAD. Nearly six hundred thousand people in the United States literally do not exist anymore. They’re gone. That NO ONE has connected the dots and realized this would *also* impact the number of people available to work is just…astounding.
This is the thing that really gets me. We have ALL watched video after video in the past year of out-of-control assholes screaming, assaulting, spitting, coughing, and even so extremely, *murdering* low wage essential workers in retail and the service industry. Absolutely fucking NO ONE should be treated the way retail workers have been treated this past year. Every sanctimonious blowhard in politics and the media whinging that people need to take these jobs and get off unemployment would refuse to be treated the way retail workers are treated.
The SAME type of people who attacked the Capitol on January 6th have been terrorizing low wage retail workers for over 365 motherfucking days now.
It is absolutely unsurprising, and completely understandable, that many people have decided, FORGET THAT.
As the world marks one year since the pandemic was declared, Lester Holt reflects on the challenges we’ve faced, the moments of hope and the road ahead.
One year after Ahmaud Arbery was killed, his mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, talks to NBC News’ Blayne Alexander about race relations, justice and her hope for the future.
“When I laid Ahmaud to rest last February, a part of me left also.”
