Time and again, government officials with the Municipality in Jordan have promised to clamp down on the shocking casual cruelty inflicted on street dogs. It seems these promises mean absolutely nothing. The video makes this crystal clear. By turning a blind eye to what is happening and not enforcing humane policies, the authorities are effectively SANCTIONING MURDER. The shocking video recently began circulating on social media. It graphically shows the sickening killing of an innocent street dog. Actually, “sickening” is an understatement - the right words don’t exist... If we can raise enough funds, we will begin by rescuing more dogs, as many as we can, and get them to a place of safety. The second step will be to work with our partners on the ground to pressurize authorities to initiate mass spay and neuter programs so we can prevent dogs from being born into this life of hell. Third, we will double our efforts to raise awareness because THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW.

Content warning: This email discusses the death penalty
This week, the Republican Governor of South Carolina, Henry McMaster, signed a bill requiring some people on death row to choose between a firing squad or the electric chair for their own execution.
Make no mistake: the cruelty is the point.
Congress must act with urgency to pass the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act, Ayanna’s transformative bill to abolish the federal death penalty and require re-sentencing of those currently on death row.
Will you become a grassroots co-sponsor of Ayanna’s legislation to end the death penalty on the federal level once and for all?
State-sanctioned murder is not justice, and it never will be. The death penalty — which disproportionately kills people who are Black, Latinx, and poor — does absolutely nothing to make our communities safer. It is a devastating tool of oppression, and it has no place in our society.
That’s why we’re mobilizing the political will necessary to put an end to this draconian, cruel practice on the federal level — and our nationwide movement is gaining momentum.
More than 90 members of Congress and 265 national and grassroots organizations have joined in support of this bill — but Ayanna needs you with her in this fight for justice.
Sign on to become a grassroots co-sponsor of the Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act to officially and permanently end the practice of state-sanctioned murder in the federal government.
Together, we will keep up the fight to transform our criminal injustice system.
In solidarity,
The A-Team
The death penalty is a draconian, cruel practice that has no place in a just society.
Ayanna needs you in this fight for justice with her. The only way that we will make progress on this important issue is by raising our collective voices, organizing together, and demanding an end to this cruel practice.
Add your name right now to join Ayanna in the fight to end the death penalty on the federal level.

BOSTON — Massachusetts would become the first state on the East Coast to outlaw the sale of fur products, under legislation introduced last week.
State Rep. Jack Lewis, D-Framingham, and state Sen. John Velis, D-Westfield, are sponsoring the bills, which have the backing of the Humane Society of the United States. The bill's supporters cite cruel, unregulated animal killing methods in the fur industry.
"Massachusetts is a world leader in animal welfare," Lewis said. "Given the overwhelming evidence of inhumane practices in the fur industry, the risks fur production has to our public health and the availability of so many different options for warm and fashionable fabrics, we will not continue to be complicit in unnecessary cruelty."
The bill exempts leather, cowhide and shearling, as well as previously owned fur products, and the ban would apply only to the sale of products including clothing and fashion accessories like handbags, shoes, slippers, hats or key chains that contain fur.
Said Velis: "The excruciating process these animals go through for their fur is utterly disturbing and must be ended. Due to the work of so many great advocacy organizations, more and more people have begun to learn of this cruel practice and what it entails. Public sentiment against the fur industry has been growing for years, and this bill is an important next step for Massachusetts."
Laura Hagen, Massachusetts state director for the Humane Society, said "the fur industry's days are clearly numbered," mentioning places like Wellesley and Los Angeles that have banned fur sales, major brands dropping fur, and top fur-producing countries like Norway and the Netherlands outlawing fur farming.
The MSPCA, Animal Legal Defense Fund and Fur Free Massachusetts are also supporting the bills, along with Reps. Natalie Higgins, D-Leominster, and Lindsay Sabadosa, D-Northampton.
