Please, click on the link in @hsiglobal 's bio to sign their petition urging the Yulin authorities to end this cruelty! Just click the link and it'll lead you straight to the petition. It will only take a few seconds, i promise. Help save lives of thousands of cats and dogs in China. ?????? #NoToAnimalCruelty #NoToYulinFestival #NoToDogMeat #NoToCatMeat

A pitbull isn't a "BAD BREED" unless you treat, teach and even train it to be. ☝??: @2cresteds_and_a_pibble P.S. There are dozens of pitbulls up for adoption at @lagunapitbullsmanila ??

Did you know that beagles are among some of the animals commonly used for animal testing? It's because of their gentle and non-aggressive nature, despite being hurt and abused. At present, beagles are being subjected to daily pesticide poisoning for an entire year, before being killed and dissected for a required study in Brazil and South Korea. It's true. Did you also know that it's been proven over and over that results from animal testing aren't entirely accurate and reliable? That there are many alternatives to animal testing with results that are even more precise and valid, yet don't involve animal torture? Animal testing should've been banned all over the world many years ago yet it's still being done in many countries. Please help end animal testing by signing the petition on @hsiglobal 's website. ?? #NoToAnimalTesting

Carla is currently one of PAWS celebrity ambassadors who actively aids in the fight for animal rights.
