Write up by defence barrister Samuel March about the recent jury acquittal of puppy rescuers:
"where appropriate circumstances are known or believed to exist, taking steps to rescue animals is at least capable of amounting to a defence to dishonesty offences"

It's true, the globalist elites kind of did want us (and livestock) to eat bugs. But that's unlikely to happen. Shuttered insect farming companies now account for almost half of all $ invested into the space

I should add that the "we" here is a global. We're really good at growing lots of plants efficiently. The problems start when we grow those plants to not directly feed humans. Virtually every major ag supply-side problem diminishes in scale synchronously with the reduction of non-food agriculture.
Admittedly, the competition for humanity's biggest crime is stiff, but, yeah...

Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine is actively causing moral injury in its students. The sad part is, none of the students know it yet, and neither did the soldiers in Vietnam.

Despite hundreds of the biggest food companies pledging to go cage-free by 2025, the share of cage-free egg stands at 48%. Why? Blame grocery stores.
1. A #measles & #flu update.
We're only 9 weeks into the year & the total confirmed measles cases so far puts makes 2026 the second worst year for measles in the past 34 years.
The worst year was last year. But in merely 9 weeks, 2026 has recorded 56% of the entire 2025 total.
Gonna be a bad year.
What a great interview! I loved it. I hope you do too.
๐ โBurgerโ & โsausageโ can still be used for #plantbased foods in the EU โ but not 31 other terms including โchicken,โ โbeef,โ โsteak,โ โpork,โ โbreast,โ or โdrumstick.โ
โWill this hinder the accessibility of sustainable food, & empower industrial animal farming to continue to prevail?
This is brilliant. I just wrote something on an idea for a campaign on this issue, but without even close to this depth of information. Not to be a pollyanna (though if I weren't, why would I still be doing this?) but I think the industry is vulnerable on this. substack.com/home/post/p-...
I tried to do what we call, if I may be so bold, a "conceptual scoop"!!
Pls read my story on the most overlooked form of extreme confinement of farmed animalsโthe routine caging of millions of dairy calves in tiny crates less than 1/10 the size of a parking spot.

A sobering fact: Weโve lost around 3 billion #birds in North America since 1970 โ a loss of nearly one in four birds.
And yet, this week a congressional panel is meeting to consider weakening the #MigratoryBirdTreatyAct.

The studyโs authors hope the findings will motivate consumers to be more mindful about their food choices, but Liz Goldman from @worldresources.bsky.social warns that giving people more information about the environmental harms of meat production tends to have little impact on their consumption.
Graph titled "Beef caused at least 4 times more deforestation than any other food in the last two decades" with a bar chart showing that beef has destroyed 119.86M acres of forest between 2001-2022.
A new large-scale analysis published in @natfood.nature.com reinforces that of all the foods we produce on the planet, beef is by far the biggest driver of deforestation. Soybeans are the 3rd biggest contributorโwith much of those crops going to feed chickens + pigs rather than humans ๐งต
