While we already know that Ke$ha takes helping animals seriously, we weren't surprised when we learned that she teamed up with the Humane Society of the United States to speak up for animals!

In the clip (above), the pop princess HIGHlights the fact that congress is considering passing bills on animal fighting, egg-laying hens, laboratory chimpanzees and walking horses, so because it's important to help animals stay as safe as they can… the Die Young songstress wants U to do your part.

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) for more deets, and CLICK HERE to make 2013 the year of the animal!!!

Well this doesn't make much sense! Terrorism? REALLY?

That is, unless the lawmakers are super into abusing animals. Or being paid off. Those are the only ways we could EVER see this happening — because the collection of wide-reaching laws will effectively make it impossible to collect evidence of animal abuse from here on out!

We're talking about cutting off whistleblowers with good hearts or even videographers working with the Humane Society when their evidence usually ends with prosecutions, fines, and even reform among producers! Which is a GREAT thing! Those poor animals!

With the new bills, deemed "Ag-Gag," the people who collect the evidence must turn it into authorities as soon as it's collected, instead of being able to accumulate any detailed or significant body of evidence. Which normally would lead to better results against the offenders!

Bob Barker recently had Wyoming's House Bill 126 thrown out, which would've protected animal abusers, but considering that he's a big animal lover, he still has more ag-gag bills to take on!

The former Price Is Right host is now going up against Arkansas, Indiana, New Mexico, Nebraska, Tennessee and Pennsylvania because congressmen in those states are considering bills that would keep people who commit animal cruelty under wraps.

It's a sad fact of life that some people are AWFUL to animals!

We have no idea how someone could see an animal and want to do anything other than kiss and hug them and give them treats all day long!!

But some terrible people just don't have souls we guess.

No matter what sort of abuse was thrown at these animals, they kept on surviving.

So we celebrate these survivors who beat the odds even when life (and some terrible people) tried to keep them down!
