There was a bill about to be voted on by the Assembly Agriculture Committee that was pulled three hours before voting.

It was a bill that would have limited undercover farm animal abuse investigations!

The bill would have made it so that anyone collecting evidence of abuse would have to turn it in to the cops within 48 hours.

The problem with that is it's not enough time to collect enough evidence to show a pattern of illegal activity, according to animal advocates.

The author of the bill said:

Wow!

We certainly don't condone the act of bullfighting! We find it pretty uncool to run an animal around before killing it.

But it definitely is something many people are fond of–especially in Spain!

Which is why people are freaking when they realized that Youtube is taking down the gory parts of bull fights. The parts where there is no blood are still on there, but any slayings are down indefinitely!

We previously mentioned that Steve-O went vegan!!

The reason has something to do with drug use, voices in his head and karmic justice!

What can we say, he's a complicated person.

But all it took was one video about karma and spirituality to turn him all around.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum has joined up with PETA to fight for a really important cause, one that can't fight for itself… animal rights!!

The lovely lady sent a letter (along with 30,000 other animal lovers) to the Riverside County District Attorney's Office asking that they bring charges against Global Captive Breeders (GCB).

PETA did an undercover investigation into GCB and found that more than 18,000 animals were kept in cruel conditions!

We previously mentioned that Beyonce just teamed up with shoe customizer PMK to come up with the cruelest shoes imaginable.

The King Bey sneakers are made from exotic animal skins, including stingray, ostrich, calf hair, crocodile and anaconda!

When broken down, you can really see how needlessly cruel and expensive these shoes are.

If you can't do the time - then don't do the crime!

Two former Butterball workers at a North Carolina turkey facility have been convicted of animal cruelty following a 2011 undercover investigation by Mercy For Animals.

They captured graphic footage of workers mistreating the birds which you can see, at your own discretion, (above).

Here's what the statement from the Mercy For Animals said:

"This latest round of criminal convictions against Butterball workers demonstrates that an ongoing pattern of animal cruelty and neglect was allowed to flourish at this inhumane factory farm. As the convictions pile up, it leaves no doubt that turkeys raised and killed by Butterball are routinely crowded into filthy warehouses, neglected to die from infected, bloody wounds, or thrown, kicked, and beaten by factory farm workers."

We're so glad that justice is finally being served.

Animal cruelty should not and will not be tolerated!

This has completely blown our minds!

Last Saturday, a Labrador retriever mix doggy was found in Waterloo, Iowa locked up in a crate that was sadly dumped by someone, and even though the pooch was found — it was too late because he starved to death.

And to try to get justice on the person who did this, the nonprofit organization, Agape Fosters raised a reward of $2,000 in hopes that someone will turn in the evil person.
