Miley Ray Cyrus
PETA named Cyrus the “Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity of 2015.”[311] She cites an incident where her dog, Floyd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, was mauled by a coyote as the reason for becoming vegetarian. In June 2015, she posed nude for the cover of Paper Magazine with her pet pig, Pig Pig. Her instagram and Facebook pages contain numerous posts relating to animal rights and plant-based diets.
Also in 2015, Cyrus was listed as one of the nine runners-up for The Advocate’s Person of the Year.
Some of the lyrics to songs on Cyrus’ 2015 Dead Petz album reference Tibetan Buddhism, for example, The milky, milky milk / Your lips get me so wet / While I’m singing all the verses from the Tibetan Book of the Dead

The heroes of Virunga National Park in Republic of Congo
Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo has a lot of beautiful & endangered animals. The true heroes are there, in ranger uniform gaurding these endangered mountain gorillas. Men like Jean Claude Kiza Vunabandi who was killed on October 25th, 2015, and 100’s more rangers there who’ve been killed defending these beautiful innocent animals in the past years.
If you get the chance, watch the 2014 documentary “Virunga”, the films motto is awesome! It is “Conservation is war”.

Place bids on 2 VIP tickets to this fight and meet & greet with Sugar Shane himself at Charitybuzz (the current high bid is $850)

Rescue of Rita – Maoland Romania great rescue story
With all the talk about the Yulin Dog meat festival happening now, it becomes very depressing to know this is happening in our world. I just want to note some good (great!) things that are still happening.
Rita is a tiny dog, skin and bones found in Romania by the Maoland Animal Shelter. Look at how Rita has transformed from day 1 that she was found, until the most recent photo. It’s heart-warming for sure!
Lets hope that Yulin turns out to be a success, by ending the horrific cruelest “festival” in the world.
Read the entire story and see all the pictures of Rita’s progress from day 1 til year later on their Facebook page here. Also you can donate to K-9 Angels in Romania, donate here.
Awesome Twitter comment I found today – Hemali Sodhi
Thank you Hemali Sodhi (Twitter), for Tweeting this awesome comment about this terrible Asian heat, and helping the animals through it.
It’s scorching hot for animals too. Please leave some water outside for the parched, homeless animals and birds. You may be saving a life.
I love it! Thank you Hemali, it’s a reminder to us all, that we are not the only ones miserably hot outside, our little homeless animals need help/water/love/care also! 🙂
