Daniel Allen and I are organising an @rgsibg.bsky.social conference (hybrid) session on legal animal geographies.

We invite papers that not only highlight current multispecies injustice, but seek to challenge, resist, and contest these systems to create more just multispecies worlds and futures.

Love in reshaping human-pig relationships: from livestock to companion In an increasingly urbanized world where pigs are predominantly never seen alive, whose dead bodies are understood as pork, the practice of pig keeping for companionship rather than food production...

Forgot to post on here about the first paper from my PhD research, ‘Love in reshaping human-pig relationships: from livestock to companion’ 🐷

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’m not saying anything novel, but I wake up every morning, struck anew with the realization that the worst possible behaviors are incentivized, the virtues I uphold have no market value, the most tragicomically incompetent ppl are in charge, + we’re gleefully flooding ourselves with toxic sludge.

‘A special place’: Guardian readers’ generosity helps to save rewilded farm Bedfordshire farm was saved through public donations after a successful £1.5m crowdfunding campaign

An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies.

Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍
