Protest Petco to Stop Selling Animals
1585 Sloat Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94132, 1585 Sloat Blvd, San Francisco, CA, USJoin us in demanding that Petco stop selling animals! Animals are NOT merchandise. Animals sold in Petco, Petsmart, and other pet stores come from horrifically cruel breeding mills and some species are even kidnapped from their habitats in the wild. Shockingly, the majority of animals bred and shipped to pet stores die before they even reach the store shelf.
Selling animals is costing millions of them their lives and it’s time for Petco to stop selling them!
When: Saturday, August 15th at 2pm
Where: Meet at 1585 Sloat Blvd, San Francisco, CA. We will walk to Petco together
Accessibility: We will walk a short distance from the meeting location to the store where we will mostly be standing for about an hourIf you would like to learn more about this campaign and get involved in the Bay Area to help end the retail sale of animals in pet stores please sign up at dxe.io/adoptdontshop and take action at dxe.io/actionsteps

Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care
885 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94103-1921, United States, 885 Market St, San Francisco, CA, USWhat if you could spend one afternoon directly changing the lives of animals who desperately need our help?
Join us in San Francisco for a unique, hands-on experience where you'll learn how to rescue injured pigeons, provide life-changing first aid, and support companion animals living alongside our unhoused neighbors.
Every day, pigeons in San Francisco suffer from a hidden danger: string, fishing line, hair, and other debris that wrap tightly around their toes and feet, causing immense pain, infections, and sometimes the loss of entire limbs. During this event, we'll teach you how to safely spot, catch, and help these incredible birds before releasing them back to their families and flocks.
We'll also be carrying food and toys to share with companion animals belonging to our unhoused neighbors because compassion doesn't stop with one species. This event is about building a kinder city for all animals.
Whether you're a lifelong animal advocate or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this is your chance to turn empathy into action. You'll leave with new skills, amazing stories, and the incredible feeling that comes from knowing you made someone's world a little better.
No experience necessary. We'll provide all the training and supplies.
Just bring:Compassion
Comfortable shoesA willingness to help animals who are too often ignored
Come discover just how much good one afternoon can do.ARRIVE ON TIME! We’ll begin promptly at 11am with a brief about essential safety and training. If you arrive late, we will be out and about and hard to contact and find so please be on time.
Meeting location: Powell Street BART Station

Meetup: ALL THE DOGS ARE FREE! Celebration of Ridglan Farms Shutting Down
2414 6th St, Berkeley, 2414 6th St, Berkeley, CA, USRidglan Farms is finally shutting down and by the date of this Meetup the last ~150 beagles will have left their cages to begin their new lives! This historic win for animals follows nearly 10 years of activism, dedication, and hard work by numerous individuals and organizations! In 2017 Direct Action Everywhere investigated and exposed for the first time what Ridglan was doing to dogs. Over the years, various local organizations like Dane4Dogs formed in Wisconsin to fight for the Ridglan dogs and other national groups like the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project and Big Dog Ranch Rescue joined our efforts.
People once laughed at the idea that we would ever save the Ridglan dogs, but now they will all be safe, happy and free. Let's celebrate! Come hang out with some of the Ridglan rescues, enjoy vegan cake, and hear from Zoe Rosenberg about the history of this campaign.
Fresh coffee, tea, and a delicious plant-based brunch will be provided at the Meetup as well!
