Florida’s first searchable, statewide database of animal abusers is now online. Published and maintained by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), the database lists anyone who has been convicted of, or who has pled guilty or no-contest to, charges of animal cruelty. Anyone can use the database, which is on the FDLE’s website. It is hoped that individual pet sellers, rescue groups, and animal shelters will consult the database to screen potential owners. Those on the database are banned from owning, living with, or working with, animals. Dexter’s Law is named in honor of a four-year-old bulldog mix, killed shortly after adoption. In February 2025, a jury convicted Domingo Rodriguez of aggravated cruelty to animals and unlawful disposal of bodies of dead animals. According to prosecutors, Rodriguez killed Dexter the day after adopting him. 📰 Read the full story at speciesunite.com/news 🐾 Search the database at web.fdle.state.fl.us/dexter #dexterslaw #adopt #dogadoption #florida #protectanimals

Words seem futile. It’s insane what is happening every day in a country that is supposed to protect its citizens, not murder or kidnap them. We have to get offline, come together, prepare and fight back in any and all ways. FUCK ICE. Art graphic by desertratstitchings #arizona #ice #protest #tucson #phoenix #flagstaff

While the Great Tit typically feeds on harmless insects and seeds during the warmer months, the harsh reality of winter transforms this backyard bird into a ruthless opportunist. When food sources run low, they are known to hunt down hibernating bats or scavenge on small mammals found in the snow. Their beak is surprisingly powerful, designed to crack open hard nuts, which makes it terrifyingly effective at breaking into the skulls of other birds or rodents. This macabre behavior allows them to access the brain, a nutrient-dense source of fat and protein essential for surviving freezing temperatures. It is a grim reminder that in nature, survival often favors the brutal. #NatureIsMetal #BirdFacts #Wildlife
