Do cows compete with humans for food?

750 million acres of land are tied to beef cattle production, yet the arable cropland used for cows (40 million acres) could provide protein for 234 million people per year if used for human-edible crops.

What Switzerland’s new welfare labels mean for food producers Switzerland now requires labels on meat, eggs & dairy from animals subjected to painful procedures. Here’s what the law means for producers and consumers.

Switzerland has the best animal welfare labels I've seen. Instead of meaningless welfare-washing, they just list the painful procedures the animal was subjected to without painkillers, like castration, force-feeding, or beak-cutting. This should be the law everywhere. tinyurl.com/yfhf3843

I bet they also don’t spend much time on the perspectives of their sentient victims?

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

Thanks for this framing. I'm going to hold onto it.

I need you to know that "Punch" is in primate laboratories all over the world.

What do I mean by this? I spent two years as a caretaker for 500+ macaques at the UW-Madison's Harlow Primate Lab. Caring for rejected newborn macaques, like Punch, was one of the most gut-wrenching parts of the job. ⬇️

🌍 Grateful to @volts.wtf for having me on to talk about climate and alt meats.

Roberts says I make the case “in about as energetic and comprehensive a way as you could possibly ask.”

Two young polar bear cubs stand with their backs to the camera, looking over their shoulders. They are surrounded by packed snow, likely a den.

The Trump admin. is taking the first step in selling oil and gas leases in the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, calling for companies to identify places there where they'd like to drill.

New from me: The Colorado River is drying up & the Western US' water crisis is fueling bitter disputes among the states that share it. Yet the obvious solution to the crisis (raising fewer cows in the desert) gets almost no air time. A glaring case of agricultural exceptionalism.

Experts React to PETA’s White Paper on an Egg Industry Scam | PETA Here’s how leading experts responded to our eye-opening white paper on an egg industry scam.

My endorsement of the new White Paper by @PETA:

“Devastating. In stunning detail, this report demolishes once and for all the myth that raising hens in ‘cage-free’ environments offers ethically meaningful advantages over other forms of confinement."

Colorado High Schoolers Invent a Thermal AI Dashcam to Reduce Collisions with Deer A group of STEM students in Denver has invented a device that uses artificial intelligence to detect wildlife and warn approaching drivers.

In the U.S., vehicle collisions kill over 1 million animals *every day*. Thermal AI dashcams that detect animals ahead and alert drivers could be a massive lifesaver, for animals and humans. Hopefully these will soon be a standard safety feature in every car! www.outdoorlife.com/conservation...

The next Talking Animals talk will be delivered by our Centre's Visiting Researcher, Marcia Condoy Truyenque (PhD candidate @helsinki.fi).

Marcia will present “Animal Legal Individualhood: A comprehensive conception of individuality for animals in the law” on 27 Feb. at 5pm (UK time) on Zoom (1/2)

Suspended Sentences in Landmark Beagle Rescue Case

Interesting new study about meat consumption in romantic partners. If one partner eats more meat and the other eats less, the flexitarian is more likely to be pressured to eat more meat (as opposed to the meat-lover being pressured into eating less) due to cultural norms.

After leaving WHO, Trump officials propose more expensive replacement to duplicate it HHS proposes spending $2 billion a year to re-create systems the U.S. accessed through the WHO at a fraction of the cost, according to officials briefed on the matter.

🚨 WaPo scoop: You've heard of Trump's "board of peace."

Now HHS wants to build its own World Health Organization that will cost exponentially more than the U.S.'s contribution to the WHO.

Animal testing, explained Is anything really “cruelty-free”?

Around 92 percent of drugs successfully tested on animals are never approved for sale, generally because they prove to be toxic or ineffective in humans. We need to invest in safer and more reliable methods. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

What the Foodies Get Wrong About Food Reform Telling people to eat more home-cooked meals and start gardening isn’t a realistic prescription for widespread change.

"Improving the American food system further will require engaging, improving, and fairly distributing modern agriculture’s productivity, not tossing it on the compost heap."

‘Not all ultra-processed foods are the same’ — what next for the food industry? Two books offer refreshing arguments in favour of industrial innovations and appetising alternatives to meat — without the unpalatable moralising

"[Feed the People! and Meat] bring a passion to the affluent society’s intractable modern dilemma of what to eat. As Rosenberg and Dutkiewicz say, it is a dilemma probably most effectively addressed without preaching." A wonderful review in @financialtimes.com.

#Transfarmation: a refreshingly good agricultural news story coming from the USA @marisul.bsky.social

Delighted to have received the first copies of my new book (co-edited with John Olusegun Adenitire) on fundamental rights for non-humans - covering animal rights, rights of nature, and AI rights. Many thanks to the wonderful team @hartpublishing.bsky.social and our excellent contributors!

“Utterly shameful”: Scottish salmon farms saw 35 million deaths over a three year period, but received just two unannounced inspections | Animal Equality UK Despite the Scottish Government stating that unannounced inspections of salmon farms are a ‘legislative requirement’, a key regulator carried out none in 2023 or 2025, and just two in 2024; the other ...

Most animal 'aquaculture' is just a euphemism for 'underwater factory farms'. The conditions are so bad that many millions of animals die before reaching slaughter. Great that Animal Equality are continuing to shed light on this: animalequality.org.uk/news/2026/02...
