Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It's both sad and stupid that societies barely care about animal abuse.
First, it's depressing that their lives mean nothing whatsoever, but at the very least it's somewhat understandable. Even human lives mean little, so why should animal lives mean anything to the epstein class?
Second, animal abusers and human abusers are always the exact same people. I'm not aware of any concrete data, but from my experience the overlap is either 100% or very close. They usually start with abusing animals, then see that they can do it freely without punishment, and eventually move on to abuse people. And of course, politicians and businessmen tend to be animal abusers disproportionately more often. Shocker.
The pipeline is plain as day.
It's a similar situation to accommodating disabled people. Society doesn't care, because it's a 'tiny minority', and won't spend resources on them. As if it was short on resources. And then you realize that most people eventually become disabled in some capacity, especially as they age. So turns out those investments into a 'minority' would have helped almost everyone, in addition to being the right thing to do.
Who would have thought that being a resonably decent person and helping out your neighbours leads to a better world for everyone? But no. A bunch of satanic pedophiles had to ensure our societies are cruel, and rotten to the core, becuause they just love watching suffering so much.
hoarders/neglect is also abuse, since they represent a significant portion of shelter animals, also BYB too.
