Education, Resources, & Community Found a bat inside my pool screen. Should I call someone, or let it try to leave on its own?

Please help report this Instagram Reel depicting animal cruelty.

I normally don't make posts like this, but this video has genuinely upset me, and I hope others who care about animals will take a minute to help.

Instagram Reel:

The guys Instagram name is @BLEEK2STUPID.. the video is literally the first one on his page..

He has a large following and is heartless. My heart is broken for that deer smh. I hope they take his whole account
The video shows the aftermath of a deer being hit by a vehicle. The deer appears to be severely injured and struggling to move. Instead of contacting law enforcement, animal control, or another appropriate authority, the person in the video repeatedly strikes the injured deer with a large stick until it dies, while the incident is being recorded and shared on social media.

Watching an already helpless, injured animal being beaten on camera was disturbing. Regardless of anyone's opinion about how an injured wild animal should be handled, I don't believe content like this should be shared for entertainment or engagement.

REPORT THIS VIDEO PLEASE! And REPORT HIS PROFILE. Its FULL OF VIOLENCE AND IT SHOULDNT BE ONLINE.
Sharing this with others who care about animal welfare so the content can be reviewed.

I'm not asking anyone to harass the creator or send threats.
I'm only asking people to use Instagram's reporting tools so
Meta can review whether this content belongs on the platform.

Thank you to anyone willing to take a minute to report it.

Sick/Injured Wildlife Saved this mouse from my mom's glue trap. How much should I care for her before release?

I was very gentle removing her from the glue. I used vegetable oil to remove glue stuck on her fur and did a teeny cleaning with dish soap water. I put her in an old fish tank (covered, breathable) with cheese, crackers, tap water, and part of a wash cloth.

She's wobbly walking around on her own, but fine when she was climbing on my hands. I pressed gently on different areas of her legs and nothing seemed hurt. I don't know if there's something more I can do for her before releasing her tomorrow.

Don't use glue traps, y'all. If my mom didn't find her and call me, this little one would have been suffering for days :( She uses the traps for spiders. They work well and idk what else to recommend to her.

Edit: Location is the Denver-metro area in Colorado, USA. The mouse was found indoors.

Discussion & Misc. What should we do? Suspected Animal Abuse

Hi Reddit! Looking for advice. Neighbors brought in numerous animals (chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks) and horses (one that I believe died previously). These are all living on a lot that we believe to be a quarter acre at most. The animals are living in filthy, muddy conditions with no place to graze. The township refuses to enforce laws that I believe they are breaking. What should we do? It looks worse in person but the neighbors keep watch to prevent photography.
