A cartoon goldfish with sad eyes and downturned mouth is stood upright. Using the tips of its tail as feet. It is looking directly into the camera. In the top left hand corner is a yellow and white star, rendered in crayon with the words “For Kids” across the center.

This video is for KIDS! [but adults can watch too] We’re going to talk about FISH FEELINGS! We’ll learn about whether fish can feel pain and how even though they look really different than us, they have families, friends, and feelings!

Do Fish Have FEELINGS? [For Kids!]

Close up of the face of a horse being ridden for dressage; her chin is drawn in at an unnatural angle due to the rider pulling on the reins attached to a metal bit in her mouth.

  • LIVE At A UK Slaughterhouse & Gas Chamber

    It’s one thing to watch footage from a slaughterhouse; it’s another to watch as it’s happening in the moment. Come face to face with the humane myth. This is not far away. It’s right in your own backyard—all over the world.

    Are Halal And Kosher Slaughter Humane?

    The debate over halal (حلال) and kosher (כשר) ritual slaughter is a hotbed of religion, politics, corporate greed, systematic abuses, and special interests. Amidst all the controversy, the core question remains: is it possible to end the life of another being in a way that is kind?
