Loretta Was Locked in a Pen Where Other Traumatized Monkeys Injured Her

Loretta didn't even have a name. She had a number: "1005158" was tattooed across her chest. Her hair fell out in patches, likely as a result of the stress that she endured at Primate Products, Inc. (PPI), a notorious facility that imports and warehouses primates before selling them to laboratories.

The Great Outdoors Is Not So Great for Cats

Cats allowed outside can die from infections, heatstroke, predator attacks, sickness, and abuse by sadistic people. Recently, someone in Mansfield, Ohio, detonated a firecracker inside a stray tabby cat, now named Katy, who is currently receiving critical care.

Pigeons Who Survive Dangerous Races Are Often Suffocated or Their Necks Are Broken

In an attempt to make birds fly faster, handlers often use them in races when they have eggs to sit on or when they're caring for babies. They also separate them from their partners, with whom they mate for life. Tell this Wisconsin library not to host any future events involving pigeon racing.

Bear Clawed Handler's Face at Fair Last Year—Mesa County Fair Still Hosting Bear Show

It's no surprise that captive bears used in traveling shows may lash out in frustration, biting, mauling, or otherwise attacking handlers or members of the public, since they're confined to tiny trucks and transported from city to city to be put on display. The Great Bear Show shut down, and the North Carolina Black Bear Festival recently ended captive-bear displays—urge the Mesa County Fair to follow suit.
