 Matthew Mazzotta Art,

Known for stalking front lawns in plastic form as much as they wade through the shallows of Everglades National Park, Biscayne Bay, or the Keys, pink flamingos are practically synonymous with Florida. Around the turn of the 20th century, however, native populations were decimated due to overhunting. Although residents later began to foster captive colonies, of the estimated 260,000 to 330,000 mature birds worldwide, Florida is thought to accommodate only about one percent of them.

For the artist, the iconic avian and the importance of sharing space with wildlife inspired a monumental, immersive installation at Tampa International Airport.

I propose we replace the word "humanize" by sensientize, because not only humans should have the right to have their feelings acknowledged, all sensient beings do.

Une sortie au parc

Il était une fois une sortie au parc. Leur petite chienne trottinait devant elle, encore vaillamment malgré son grand âge, quand c’était arrivé. Les deux sœurs la regardaient avancer maladroitement sur le gravier pendant que tout autour d’elles parvenaient les cris des enfants qui couraient et jouaient gaiement. C’est alors qu’un homme, qu’elles n’avaient pas vu arriver, donna subitement un coup de pied à la petite chienne avant de reprendre sa route comme si de rien n’était. Choquées et indignées, les deux jeunes filles n’eurent pas le temps de réagir qu’il était déjà parti. Elles se précipitèrent alors vers leur vieille amie pour s’assurer qu’elle allait bien. Heureusement, la pauvre bête était davantage secouée que blessée. La plus jeune la prit dans ses bras et la consola en caressant doucement son pelage mais elle-même n’avait pu se retenir de pleurer. Comment pouvait-on s’en prendre ainsi à un pauvre petit animal sans aucune honte, ni scrupule ? Comment était-ce seulement possible de faire du mal à un animal aussi gratuitement, sans l’once d’un remord ? Qu’est-ce qui avait bien pu passer dans la tête de cet homme pour qu’il en vienne à lui donner un coup de pied alors que leur pauvre chienne ne lui avait strictement rien fait ? Les deux sœurs n’arrivaient pas à comprendre. Elles étaient complètement déroutées. Heureusement, il existait encore sur cette terre des gens qui n’étaient pas complètement dépourvus de compassion ni de sensibilité. Comme tous ces enfants qui s’étaient précipités vers elles pour consoler à leur tour la petite chienne, dès lors qu’ils s’étaient assurés que son agresseur était parti. Ainsi, les voyant rassemblés tout autour de leur compagnon, les deux sœurs avaient souri. Peut-être y avait-il finalement encore un peu d’espoir que tout n’était pas perdu pour les animaux et qu’il subsistait chez les hommes encore un peu d’humanité.

TW: P0LIC3 BRUT4LITY

I wanted to share this, because it's unfair, sad, awful. In our country (Italy) we have problems with police brutality. This is what happened this year:

25th May: police brutality against protesters. It was a peaceful protest against mafia, to remember Falcone and Borsellino's death.

23rd May: police brutality against a disabled trans woman.

16th August: police brutality against a disabled black man.

20th September: police brutality against protesters. It was a peaceful protest for animals' rights. This happened in a sanctuary.

3rd October (today): police brutality against students. It was a peaceful protest against our government.

PLEASE HELP THE ANIMALS IN GAZA‼️

@sulalaanimalrescue (in this link you can see the desperate cries for help people in Gaza are sending to Sulala) is the only animal shelter in Gaza and they are running out of animal food to help all the animals, cats, dogs, birds, donkeys and horses!

Currently they are sheltering cats and dogs, but also donating food to animals owners in Gaza, helping lots of gazans feed their beloved pets (including the donkeys and horses that are working extra hard since fuel is not allowed thanks to 🇮🇱).

Please, for many people their pets are one of their only sources of hope and happiness during this genocide. Can you imagine surviving all they have endured and now having to watch their pets dying of hunger?

YOU CAN HELP THEM!

Here are two ways to help:

Donate to one of these two links: LINK1 LINK2

Email the following text to the Organizations emails below the text.

E-mail copy:

"Dear,

I am writing to you on behalf of Sulala Society for Animal Care in Gaza, the sole animal protection organization operating in the Gaza Strip.

I am reaching out to bring your attention to the dire situation that animals in Gaza are currently facing due to the ongoing conflict. As you are likely aware, the Gaza Strip has been under siege for the past 49 days, and the recent hostage exchange deal has granted a brief 4-day truce, allowing for much-needed aid to enter through Egypt.

However, amidst the chaos, the crucial issue of animal welfare is often overlooked.

The animals in Gaza, including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, and birds, are suffering immensely. The scarcity of food and shelter has left them in a state of desperation.

Of particular concern are the working horses and donkeys, which serve as the primary mode of transport, carrying both humans and vital water supplies. Unfortunately, due to the lack of fuel, these animals are now struggling with insufficient food, compounding their misery.

On behalf of Sulala Society for Animal Care, we urgently appeal for your assistance in facilitating the entry of essential animal aid into Gaza.

We kindly request the following items:

1. Cat food and dog food (dry and canned);

2. Veterinary medicine supplies, with a focus on painkillers and anti parasite medication;

3. Food for donkeys and horses;

4. Food for birds.

We understand the complex nature of the current situation, but we believe that addressing the plight of these animals is a humanitarian imperative. Providing assistance to the animals not only alleviates their suffering but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community.

We kindly ask for your immediate attention to this matter and request that you take all necessary measures to facilitate the entry of the specified animal aid into Gaza.

Time is of the essence, and we believe that with your support, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these innocent creatures.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

We look forward to your positive response and collaboration in this critical humanitarian endeavor.

Sincerely, [your name if you feel comfortable]."

Preliminary list of United Nations organisations active in the occupied Palestininian territories or in Animal Rights - these addresses are publicly available:

OCHAOPT (organisation for the coordination of humanitarian affairs occupied Palestinian Territories) Email main office: ochaopt@un.org

UNRWA (UN organisation created to meet Palestinian refugee needs since 1948) New York office: Unrwaofficenewyork@un.org

Washington DC office: Washingtondc@unrwa.org

Cairo office: Unrwacairooffice@unrwa.org

UNCAHP (UN Convention on Animal Health and Protection): afg@globalanimallaw.org

FAO (food and agriculture organisation of the United Nations): FAO-HQ@FAO.org

UNICEF: sop_report@unicef.org

World Food Programme: Shada.moghraby@wfp.org

World Animal Protection: info@worldanimalprotection.org

ICRC: Jer_jerusalem@icrc.org

It's highly important that you email the organizations, because GAZA itself is running out of animal food, so we need to pressure the orgs to let animal food enter Gaza along with human food, also animal medications since a lot of them were also hurt by the bombings.

Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️

P.S. obvious but worth saying, keep talking, sharing, pressing your Reps, calling for an ACTUAL ceasefire AND A FREE PALESTINE!

JUSTICE FOR MARSHALL AND MILLIONS

These dogs were murdered by the police due to their incompetence and failure to investigate a report of the dogs being aggresive. Spoiler alert, they were not. They were killed though in front of the owner they tasered! Some people may say it’s just dogs but you’re wrong, dogs are family, they feel things and are very emotionally intelligent creatures. They were treated harshly due to their breed. A man has lost his best friends and the police need to be held responsible.

THIS ISNT ABOUT THE OWNER OF THE DOGS BUT HOW THEY WERE MURDERED.

I’ve seen the photos and the videos and it was brutual.

I’m crying my eyes out
