Morgan (pictured in the back) and Kohana jump on command during a show at Loro Parque’s orca stadium in December 2021, just ten months before Kohana's death in September 2022. Citing inadequate living conditions, a scientific agency in Spain has refused the transfer of Icelandic orcas Wikie and her son Keijo from Marineland d'Antibes in France to Loro Parque in Tenerife where four orcas have died in the last four...

Morgan has given birth twice since she arrived at Loro Parque in 2011, first to a daughter, who is now dead, and recently to a son. How long will it be before trainers start the process of shaping Morgan's second offspring into a performer, just like they did with her daughter Ula?

"Prime Minister #KeirStarmer [made] manifesto promises to keep #UK #food & #animalWelfare standards high. He must not give in to #DonaldTrump 's demand that the UK buys #chlorinatedChicken and other low quality food from the #US to get #tariff relief

In #USA, cows get pumped with growth hormones…welfare standards for chickens are so poor they have to be treated with chlorine before being sold

MPs like #NigelFarage, say they'd let chlorine-washed chicken on our shelves"

Changing our diets and ways of producing food is crucial to combat climate change and increase human health. A key change is lessening the impact of meat and animal products like eggs and dairy.

Hypothetical simulation of methane emissions if half fewer bovines

The resource weight is a "total derivative": it is only an approximation near the studied area of the (actual and unknown) production function with respect to any argument.

* Halving the number of bovines would avoid around 3 Gtₑ/year being emitted by their digestion.
* The steepest slopes include livestock in Brazil, Argentina, USA, Sudan, Australia.

I was not aware, till now, that we lost Kanzi, a bonobo in a research center. He passed at the age of 44, having learned to communicate. Kanzi even had the chance to play keyboards with Peter Gabriel.
