We have no idea how some people can be so cruel!

The Michigan Humane Society just rescued over 150 dogs from an unlicensed breeding facility.

The poor pups were taken from JRT John’s Jack Russell and Shiba Inu Kennel in Lake City, Michigan.

Manatees are beautiful, gentle creatures and are protected by law.

So it's totally illegal to touch them, let alone ride them.

But that's exactly what happened on the north side of Siesta Key in Florida.

This isn't the first time someone has tried to ride a manatee either.

Not only is it bad for the manatees and dangerous for people, it's illegal too!

You can be fined $500 or even spend 60 days in jail!!

So if you're in Florida and you see manatees, make sure not to disturb them by staying at least 100 feet away!

Check out the video (above) to see some cruel people riding a manatee.

Even though movies try and be as animal friendly as possible, the life of an animal actor is not an easy one.

Anyone who's seen the trailer for The Hangover Part III knows that animals can get the short end of the stick in films sometimes.

Like the giraffe that gets decapitated while being driven around by Zach Galifianakis.

PETA was clearly not happy when they saw this, even though it's just CGI.

They said:

Prince William and his father Prince Charles are true gentlemen.

But just because they drink tea does NOT mean they are afraid to fight battles they believe to be worth fighting for!

And one war that Prince Charles is especially itching to fight is the war on animal poachers! But not because he loves violence, but rather Prince Charles believes it is the only way!

Here's what Prince Charles said:

Viola Davis is really good at playing strong women in film.

We're starting to realize it's possible she's so good at acting those parts because she IS a strong woman in real life!

On behalf of PETA, the award winning actress wrote to the Senator Susan Sosnowski of Rhode Island, and urged her to end the maltreatment of elephants that travel with some circuses.

Here's some of what she said:

NICE!!!

On Tuesday, the New Jersey Assembly passed a bill that will let prosecutors treat any organizers of dog fighting as legitimate mobsters, as well as some tough, new laws for anyone who's caught abusing animals.

Our only question is - what took so long?!

Here's what one of the assemblymen said in a statement about the new passed bills:

Just another reason why you don't mess with Carrie Underwood!!!

A couple of weeks ago we reported how Carrie was pissed about an ag gag bill getting passed by Tennessee lawmakers.

The ag gag bill would've made it basically impossible for animals rights activists to secretly document abuse.

Carrie was so mad back then she said she would show up at Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's house if it was passed!

Well, Bill made sure that didn't happen.

His office has released this statement:
