https://showyoursoftside.org/
https://www.facebook.com/ShowYourSoftSide
TOPIC: "Bringing Soft Side to Every Classroom"
The Show Your Soft Side campaign posters are both a catalyst and a tool for discussing the human treatment of animals, and are a daily reminder to encourage students to cultivate a respect for animals. The "Cool to be Kind" campaign and lesson plans are effective for promoting criticalthinking skills as well as developing an understanding and capacity for empathy. 
We’re working toward the day when we have role models in every field advocating for the compassionate treatment of animals and that the message is engrained in every school across the country.
If you’re a teacher or work with kids in any capacity, we will gladly send you Soft Side materials free-of-charge. Our Softies are the kind of role models that are desperately needed these days and we believe that by sharing their stories, we not only create a better world for animals, but also build better adults.

Contact Jill Tucker @ EMAIL: jill@calanimals.org >> Request to her if they could please update their K9 Tethering Laws for the chained dogs in California
What are anti-tethering or anti-chaining laws? Anti-tethering and anti-chaining laws make tethering illegal. Tethering is when a dog is fixed to a single point on the owner's property either permanently or for long periods of time. Often, the dog is tethered to a tree or another heavy object in the owner's yard.

Animal Advocates Radio ”Voices Carry for Animals #256”- FREE Lucy the Elephant!

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer
Guest will be: Mary-Ann Holm- President & Campaign Coordinator at Lucy's Edmonton Advocates Project (L.E.A.P.)

https://www.facebook.com/leapforlucy/
TOPIC: UPDATE on Lucy the Elephant in Edmonton Valley Zoo & Discussing the issues facing elephants in SE Asia due to a lack of tourism secondary to Covid-19
Lucy the Elephant has been at the Edmonton Valley Zoo for 42 years and turns 44 this year.  This is an ominous milestone as zoo elephants rarely survive to their mid forties. Lucy suffers from a number of zoo induced ailments which will shorten her life expectancy. She has no other elephant companions, which is considered cruel by elephant experts due to their highly complex social needs. The harsh Edmonton climate is detrimental to her health and painful for her ongoing arthritis and foot disease. Lucy lives in a tiny concrete cell and is only allowed outdoors for short controlled walks, weather permitting which means many days she never gets out at all.
