(Yeah, We Have to Say This Stuff)
We believe in speaking up—but also in staying smart. This site exists to share concerns, stories, and documents that we think the public has a right to see. So here’s the formal stuff our lawyers (and yours) would want to know:

1. Opinions, Perspectives, and Interpretations—Not Accusations

The content on this site reflects personal opinions, individual perspectives, and subjective interpretations—both our own and those of contributors. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all material here should be understood as opinion, protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. We do not claim to possess complete information, nor do we allege legal or criminal guilt. What's shared here is meant to raise questions, highlight concerns, and support dialogue around issues that matter.

2. Good Faith and Public Interest
This site was created in good faith, in the public interest, and with sincere concern for animal welfare, nonprofit accountability, and the right to expose harm.  We rely on firsthand accounts, publicly available records, and sources we believe to be credible.

3. Accuracy and Fairness
We strive to be accurate and fair in what we present, and we welcome corrections or new information. But because stories shared are personal and subjective, we make no guarantees of accuracy, completeness, or factual certainty. Despite our efforts, errors or omissions may occur. Interpretations will differ, and not all perspectives will align. Readers are encouraged to do their own research and draw their own conclusions.

4. Copyright and Fair Use
We believe our use of documents, images, and media here falls under Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act (Fair Use) for purposes of criticism, commentary, reporting, education, and research. Our use is non-commercial, educational, and intended to foster discussion. If you believe we’ve used your content unfairly, please contact us.

5. External Links
This site may link to external websites for reference or content. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or reliability of any external sites we link to.

6. No Guarantees, No Liability
This website is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim all liability for any decisions made based on the information here. Readers are responsible for conducting their own independent research and making their own judgments. 

7. Anonymity and Free Speech
We value and protect the anonymity of our contributors. Attempts to silence or intimidate whistleblowers will not change the facts. This site exists because people have the right to speak out against wrongdoing—and because free speech doesn’t need permission.

8. If the Truth Stings, That’s Not on Us
We’re not in charge of anyone’s feelings. If something here hits a nerve, maybe ask why—don’t shoot the messenger. We’re sharing information in the public interest, and we’re not responsible for how people react when the lights come on.
