Thank you for visiting our animal defence section. Before reading our main essay, please join us in a moment of compassion and reflection.
The wheels of business and human food compulsions are implacable and totally lacking in compassion. This is a downed cow, badly hurt, but still being dragged to slaughter. Click on this image to fully appreciate this horror repeated millions of times every day around the world. With plentiful non-animal meat substitutes that fool the palate, there is no longer reason for this senseless suffering. Meat consumption is a serious ecoanimal crime. The tyranny of the palate must be broken. Please consider changing your habits in this regard.

Anti-imperialist and social justice activist-journalist Glenn Greenwald, who lives in Brazil, has founded a homeless shelter for animals and people. Here's his summary:
With your generosity, we have now created a stable, fully functional homeless-run shelter for abandoned animals that is helping care for animals in need and enabling homeless people to exit the street. But we now need to move to our permanent, and much larger, location -where we can help far more homeless people and animals. To help, please contribute to our fund: https://www.gofundme.com/homeless-peo...

PLEASE… Glenn Greenwald is an animal activist who approved the supreme court decision NOT to ban crush videos…. He is a human supremacist… with little empathy for a kitten crushed to death by a shapely stiletto heeled leg….
What a sham – portraying Glenn Greenwald as compassionate…
Glenn Greenwald is without financial means…. Rather than use his own funds he pleads for support from go fund me… He puts on a good show…. I know rescuers, who if they had his wealth would do a lot more good for animals. His little token shelter does little to undo his human supremacist leanings.
If ‘crush videos’ are banned then so, too, can your speech be banned. And animal rights activists speech can be banned if crush videos are banned. So if you want your right to make irrational posts to be banned–and if you want the speech of animal rights activists to be banned– then by all means support the banning of crush videos.
Having empathy for cruelty to animals–as Greenwald clearly does (read The Intercept(.com)–is separate from defending the First Amendment. This is why the ACLU defends the right of Nazis to march in the USA–because if their right to march/speak is deprived then so, too, can the speech of others.
