Bullets don't belong in grocery store vending machines

We don't need easier access to ammo - we need stronger gun safety laws. Vending Machines Now Sell Ammunition in U.S. Grocery Stores. This Could Fuel Higher Death Rates. Sign Now    Arfin,   It's a Wednesday evening. You realized you didn't pick up some of the ingredients for dinner, so you head to your local supermarket. You look through the produce and bread aisles. And then — with shock — you notice that among all the pantry-related items, there's also now a vending machine selling ammo for guns. These bullet-selling vending machines are now installed in grocery stores in Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma, with additional machines planned for Colorado and potentially more states. Research shows that as access to guns — or ammo — increases, so do the rates of murder and suicide using firearms. In the first six months of 2024, the U.S. already bore witness to approximately 9,000 gun homicides, 17,000 gun-related injuries, and 284 mass shootings. The U.S. already allows people to access guns and ammunition much too easily. Gun violence is now officially considered a public health crisis in this country. Parents are afraid to send their children to school, unsure if they'll return home. We don't need easy access to more bullets — we need stronger gun safety laws! We must keep children, families, and all people safe from worsening gun violence. Sign the petition now to demand that U.S. states ban these vending machines, and instead pass laws requiring background checks and licenses for purchasing ammunition!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Compared with other large, high-income nations, the U.S. already has the highest rate of gun violence. We can't make it easier to access bullets. Sign the petition.      Sign Now

They used dogs, a pony, and a bull for bestiality on a school bus

36 animals were kept in a bus and trailer, where many were routinely sexually assaulted. People Stored 36 Animals in a Bus and Trailer, Where They Were Abused for Bestiality Purposes Sign Now    Arfin,   In Pennsylvania, authorities recently rescued 36 animals that had been kept in a school bus and trailer... where they were either sexually abused or fed to other animals. Inside the bus and trailer, rescuers found 30 birds of various types (including ducks, roosters, chickens, and turkeys), as well as 4 dogs, a bully, and a pony. Conditions were foul. Feces were strewn all over the vehicles, and most of the animals were covered in scabies infections. The dogs had evidence of physical trauma in their reproductive regions, and were aggressive when touched. The pony and bull as well showed evidence of being horrifically abused through bestiality. In fact, their trauma was so severe, veterinarians actually had to humanely euthanize many of the animals. Authorities have apprehended two individuals found sleeping in the vehicles, as well as a driver. It's clear that whoever was involved in this disgusting bestiality ring needs mental health help, and fast. Authorities must ban all individuals involved from ever owning, living with, or working with animals in the future, and also mandate intensive therapy immediately. Sign the petition if you agree!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. A ring of individuals kept 36 animals in a bus and trailer, where people sexually abused the helpless creatures.

She feared her ex would kill their 6-year-old child. A judge ignored her warning.

He died after his father subjected him to blunt force trauma. A 6-Year-Old's Father Used a Treadmill to Cause Blunt Force Injuries to the Boy, Leading to His Death Sign Now    Arfin,   The security footage is sickening to watch. In the video, a father punishes his 6-year-old son by forces the young boy onto a treadmill. As he increases the speed, the child falls off and hits his head and face repeatedly. Each time, the father grabs his son and forces him back onto the machine, even biting the top of the child's head.   By the end of the video, the little boy has fallen off six times, leaving him with serious injuries to the chest and abdomen. Then, 12 days later, he died from blunt force injuries. His body was covered in contusions, while his internal organs — particularly his liver and heart — were lacerated. County prosecutors have alleged that this man committed an ongoing "cycle of abuse" against this boy, which led directly to his death. In fact, the boy's mother feared his life was in danger. Eleven days after the treadmill abuses, she filed an emergency application for custody — but a judge denied her plea.   The very next day, the man beat the little boy until he was limp and could barely breathe. He was hospitalized, suffered from several seizures, coded twice, and ultimately died an hour later. When the father heard the news, he fled the state for three months.   The man has since been apprehended and a jury has found him guilty of manslaughter. But there's one other person who still needs to be held accountable for this little boy's death: the judge who denied his mother custody rights the day before he killed. Sign the petition to demand this judge be disbarred immediately!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This child might still be alive if the judge had granted the mother custody rights. Sign the petition to disbar the judge whose negligence contributed to this little boy's death.      Sign Now

It is legal to kill hibernating mother black bears and their cubs in Alaska

The time to act is now. The National Park Service Must Finally End These Cruel Hunting Practices in Alaska's National Preserves      Sign Now      Arfin,   The National Park Service recently took an important step for wildlife conservation by banning bear baiting in Alaska's national preserves — a practice where hunters use bait to lure and easily kill brown and black bears. However, this new rule does not go far enough. Other brutal bear hunting practices are still completely legal, like killing hibernating mother black bears and their cubs.   Sign this petition to urge the National Park Service to ban all cruel hunting methods in Alaska's national preserves!   Scientific evidence and wildlife experts agree: killing predators to boost prey populations, also known as "predator control" is both ineffective and ecologically harmful. We must end the unnecessary, harmful hunting of native carnivores in the United States. Sign the petition to demand the National Park Service immediately implement a comprehensive ban on all inhumane hunting practices. Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Stand with conservationists to demand an end to cruel hunting practices. Act now!      Sign Now

Say no to corporate immunity for cancer-causing chemicals

Monsanto’s RoundUp has been linked to cancer. It wrote a Congressional bill to protect itself. This Corporation Poisoned the World with RoundUp Weedkiller. Now It's Written Legislation for Congress to Escape Accountability. Sign Now    Arfin,   Glyphosate is a toxic chemical used in the now-infamous weedkiller RoundUp, created by Monsanto and its parent corporation, Bayer. It's become an extremely controversial chemical, because hundreds of thousands of people have come forward to reveal they developed cancer after being exposed to RoundUp. But Bayer wants to protect itself from having to pay people who were poisoned by RoundUp. So right now it is intensifying its lobbying efforts with U.S. lawmakers. It's also outright written a piece of legislation for the U.S. Congress, one that would insulate Bayer from accountability. This is a clear conflict of interest, and deeply corrupt. No corporation should be allowed to write laws for Congress, and certainly not laws that protect themselves from justice.   The effects of weedkillers like RoundUp can be found everywhere. Research has discovered traces of it lingering on the foods we buy, including products like cereals and oats, as well in our water supplies, in our bodies, and even in human sperm. The World Health Organization's division on cancer research concluded that glyphosate is likely carcinogenic — in other words, a cancer-causing toxin. In the U.S., Bayer has stated it has faced 170,000 claims of RoundUp-related cancer, and that's just from agricultural workers.   Many countries have restricted or even outright banned its use. This includes Vietnam, Mexico, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Costa Rica, and more. But the U.S. has still not banned glyphosate yet, because lobbying efforts by parent company Bayer have been extremely effective. We cannot let Monsanto write legislation for Congress, and we certainly cannot let it inoculate itself from being held accountable for its own dangerous, toxic chemicals! Sign the petition!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Monsanto and its parent company Bayer want full freedom to continue poisoning all of us and infecting our food and water — with full immunity. Sign the petition to say "no."      Sign Now
