Milwaukee Bucks center and devoted cat dad Myles Turner, who started The Casper Foundation alongside his fiancé Aysia McCloud to help cats, has joined us as an ambassador for our #MoreThanAPet campaign. For every point Myles scores during the 2026-2027 NBA regular season, we will donate 250 meals to pets in underserved communities. Myles has led the league in blocks twice and reached the NBA Finals in 2025.

Big win for animals! Washington, D.C. voters have said NO to the cruelty of foie gras. This is a huge step forward for ducks and geese and another powerful reminder that cruelty has no place on our plates. A huge congratulations to the dedicated advocates who worked to make this possible!

Supporters claim trophy hunting helps communities and wildlife by putting money in local people’s hands and culling weak or old animals. But in reality, very little money — as little as 3% of trophy hunting revenue — reaches the areas where hunting happens, and trophy hunters often seek the biggest, strongest animals to kill.
