Justice for a kitten that died in a microwave, tell zoos to stop dyeing other animals to look like pandas, help stop the spread of the brain-eating amoeba, and more!

Unfortunately, the world is not a very peaceful or safe place for many individuals. From conflict to abuse to exploitation, the cruelty inflicted on humans and animals is so great. Although it can be daunting and difficult to hear, petitions are a great way to make your voice heard for good. By signing a petition, you are helping to help those who are not treated fairly. You can even share them with your friends and acquaintances to increase your impact.

Petitions allow us to reach those in power and demand justice for others. They are valuable tools for bringing about positive change in the world. If you’re looking for a way to help animals and humans, here are six petitions to sign this week, including Justice for the Microwaved Dead Kitten, Tell Zoos to Stop Dying Other Animals to Look Like to pandas and Help stop the spread of the brain-eating amoeba.

We want to thank you for being the change you wish to see in the world and giving a voice to those who don’t have one.

1. Justice for a dead kitten in the microwave

A horrific case of animal cruelty and domestic violence unfolded last year in Fargo, North Dakota. The details are disturbing and tragic. To punish his ex-girlfriend for coming home late from a concert, a man caused her kitten to die in the microwave. He then put the dead kitten in a dumpster and warned the woman that he would kill her next. The attacker was sentenced to prison, but we must ensure that he never terrorizes another person or animal again.

Please sign this petition to demand that this person be banned for life from living with animals and given mandatory psychological help to address their deeply troubling behavior.

2. Justice for rare zoo animal who choked on piece of plastic

A devastating mistake at a Tennessee zoo led to the tragic death of Leif, a rare and beloved sitatunga antelope, who choked on the plastic cap of a squeeze bag. The fact that this tragedy could have been completely avoided is unacceptable, especially considering the other rare and endangered animals the zoo imprisons.

Please sign this petition to demand that Bright Zoo implement stricter safeguards and rigorous monitoring to prevent hazardous materials like plastic from entering animal enclosures!

3. Tell zoos to stop dyeing other animals to look like pandas

Pandas are very popular attractions in zoos around the world. However, not all zoos can accommodate this vulnerable species of bear. So some began applying chemical dyes to other animals, particularly dogs, to create fake “pandas.”

That’s what happened at a small provincial zoo in eastern China – and it has deeply alarmed locals.

Sign this petition to support angry animal rights activists in China. Zoos need to stop dyeing other animals to look like pandas!

4. Help stop the spread of the brain-eating amoeba

The carnivorous bacteria called Vibrio vulnificus and a brain-eating amoeba, officially known as Naegleria fowleri Both viruses are spreading steadily in the United States – and research shows that this is largely due to rising temperatures due to climate change.

These deadly microbes do exactly what their names suggest: they literally eat your skin and brain, in some cases causing seizures and, in many cases, death. Naegleria fowleri In particular, its mortality rate is 96%.

Please sign this petition to demand that Congress work with the Biden administration to pass a Green New Deal!

5. Help ban the intentional release of balloons in Florida

People often think it’s fun to intentionally release balloons into the sky, thinking it’s pretty and festive. But the truth is that stray balloons are deadly to animals and horrible for the environment.

Once these springy pieces of plastic return to Earth or the seas, unsuspecting animals often mistake them for food and gorge themselves on these toxic chemicals. Their bodies fail to break down the material, which remains stuck inside them forever. Worse yet: the balloons fill the animals’ stomachs, making them think they’ve eaten enough… and they starve.

Please sign this petition to demand that Florida state legislators ban people from intentionally releasing balloons outdoors!

6. Help stop the hunting of vulnerable fin whales in Japan

As whaling season begins in Japan, the survival of fin whales is under threat. These majestic creatures are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but fin whales have been added to Japan’s list of targeted species. Now, a massive whaling factory ship has set sail to hunt these gentle giants, and it must be stopped.

Please sign this petition to urge the International Whaling Commission and the Japanese government to end the hunt for fin whales and reconsider Japan’s whaling practices.
