Big celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Norton and Blink-182's Mark Hoppus took to Twitter to fight for a great cause.
They began tweeting on behalf of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), hoping to make them "fan favorite" for the Google Global Impact Award.
Guess what happened…
Tom Hardy isn't just a talented hunk of man meat.
He's also a compassionate hunk of man meat! LOLz!
Tom is going to be fronting the film, called Poaching Wars With Tom Hardy.
The film is for British broadcaster ITV and it's being produced through Tom's production company Hardy, Son and Baker.
He's also the film's executive producer!
An ITV spokesperson said:
Bob Barker is one serious animal advocate!
But now, instead of asking pet owners to make sure their animals get spayed or neutered, Bob is campaigning on behalf of pigeons.
In Pennsylvania, a barbaric event takes place… live pigeon shoots!
People go to literally shoot at live pigeons as targets.
What's awful is that many of the birds aren't instantly killed.
They're left to wallow on the ground, many drowning in their own blood. Some take hours to die.
It's all just so terrible.
Check out the video (above) to hear Bob's plea and see some GRAPHIC footage from an actual live shooting event.
Aww!
Poor really big fellah.
A teenager in Texas is celebrating a record breaking hunt these days. The teen, Braxton Bielski, and his dad caught an 800 pound alligator which was a new record according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
But we feel sorry for the alligator!
Officials estimate the alligator was 30 to 50 years old before it was shot by the teenage hunter.
Imagine living that long only to be gunned down by an 18-year-old kid!
Why do people find hunting alligators fun???

Seriously?
The governor of Michigan is obviously not a Wolverine fan as he's totally OK'd a bill that will allow the hunting of the gray wolf.
Not too long ago - the species was nearly driven to extinction, but since then has experienced something of a resurgence.
Feelings about wolves divide the public. Some feel they're a nuisance that prey on farm animals, while others respect their unfiltered wildness.
Here's what Governor Rick Snyder said:
A man from Western Pennsylvania is in legal trouble for shooting a buck from a busy Walmart parking lot.
That sounds super dangerous!
Arcangelo "Angelo" Bianco Jr., 40, is going to trial for reckless endangerment and state game charges.
Wildlife conservation officers said that last November, Bianco shot several rounds at a buck in a Walmart parking lot so close to employees that deer blood was splattered on trailers that were being unloaded!!
That's insane! Why was he shooting so near people?? Did he have something personal against the deer?
He continued shooting at the fleeing deer until it died and he later retrieved it from the side of a road nearby.
Pretty sure this guy is gonna lose his gun license and have to pay some serious fines at a minimum!
Check out the video (above) to learn a little more about this crazy hunter guy!

The illegal wildlife trade is literally a multibillion-dollar industry!
The same type of trafficking that's almost made tigers extinct is now threatening great apes!
Chimps, orangoutangs, gorillas and bonobos are all being plucked from their natural habitats and bought by private collectors or disreputable zoos.
The numbers are cray cray!
