Trace Cyrus, the tatted up brother of Miley Cyrus, is in a new ad for PETA2!

Peta2 is peta's youth division and Trace is in their "Look Good in Your Own Skin, and Let Animals Keep Theirs" ads.

The ad says "Ink, Not Mink."

We get it! It's a reference to that fact that people shouldn't be wearing real fur because it's cruel and that Trace is covered in about a bajillion tattoos!

How much does that even cost?!

By "put down" we mean killed and by "killed" we mean cancelled.

NBC has officially taken Animal Practice off the air.

After slowly dropping in ratings, we guess execs decided that America had enough of a monkey in a lab coat.

So who will be filling that empty slot?

There is a letter going around the internet that is supposed to be from Ke$ha to Lady Gaga calling her out on wearing real fur.

This letter has been called "not legit" by Ke$ha's management team, saying she didn't write it, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Ke$ha LOOOOVES animals! She's the Humane Society's Global Ambassador!

The hoax (but still true) letter said:

"It upsets me to see you, a role model to many, especially those who are fashion forward would openly endorse such a cruel and inhumane practice. Animals are skinned and tortured for hours in order to make the fur that you, and other individuals of the upper class, lavishing wear around proudly."

The letter then begs Gaga to change her ways, saying:

"I can not begin to explain the amount of torture, harm and cruelty that is used when handling these animals that are ultimately killed for your pleasure. I hope this note has struck a chord with you and you strongly reconsider your decision to wear fur again."

Again, we know the letter is fake but everything it says still rings true.

Wearing fur is wrong and cruel and should not be done by ANYONE.

Especially someone others might consider a role model.

TAKE OFF THE FUR!

In Texas, almost an entire heard of cattle died for an unknown reason.

It was just found out that the die-off was linked to genetically modified grass.

Apparently 15 of 18 animals on an 80-acre ranch began making all kinds of noise

Texans seem conflicted when it comes to donkeys.

Many of them believe the animal holds a special place in their history and deserves protection.

Others are shooting them with large-caliber hunting rifles.

Nearly 130 donkeys have been killed so far by Texas Park Rangers.

When wild donkeys wander across the border from Mexico, they're shot.

Apparently Texans dislike animal border-hoppers as much as illegal human immigrants.

They believe the integration of these forging donkeys will out-forage the area and drink up the water, threatening the survival of the native species.

Some people say they're killing the donkeys so the Texas bighorn sheep population can grow large enough to allow rich game hunters to come bag themselves a bighorn.

The director of natural resources at the park said:

"They say we're doing this just so four rich white guys can hunt bighorn sheep out here. That's just not true."

All we know is, just because we drew an invisible line in the sand, it's not like there's Mexican nature and Texan nature.

The donkeys are creatures of the earth, there are no lines. They should be allowed to go where they please.

This makes us sick.

Jason Trevor Godsiff, a 19-year-old New Zealand man, was convicted of wilfully mistreating protected animals.

While returning home from work one day, he stopped by a colony of seals and beat 23 of them to death with a metal pipe.

He said it was because he thought they were “being pests.”

Disgusting.

Some of the seals were newborn pups.

A rep from the department of conservation said:

"This is a callous and cowardly attack on seals, especially newborn pups, unable to defend themselves against someone striking them with a bat or similar club-like object.”

We agree 100%.

We hope the sociopath fries.
