Thank you!

Thank you. I was just wondering if so many only travel to North Africa or if they might continue further South

Is that ‘found’ as in they had died there and may have intended to travel further, or is the southern dot where they spend the winter before returning?

It’s an easy choice, Ireland. Do you want a President with intelligence, integrity and grace, or a representative of the landlord ruling class who care nothing for ordinary people’s lives?
There really is only one option. #twip

Good luck to everyone at #IAVS2025 this weekend. Storm has taken our internet, but we hope to tune in soon. Looks like a great programme: www.vegansociology.com/wp-content/u...

EPA licensing rules to protect our fragile rivers are being repeatedly breached Public records about North Cork Creameries’ operations paint a disquieting picture of how regulators are performing

North Cork Creameries is a member of Bord Bia's 'Origin Green' greenwashing programme despite 125 non-compliance notices since 2020 and listing on the EPA's top polluter watchlist 🙈

A brilliant piece by @ellamcsweeney.bsky.social in the @irishtimes.com this morning highlights the lack
of enforcement of environmental legislation.

North Cork Creameries (a member of Bord Bia’s Origin Green programme) has been issued with 125 non-compliance notices since 2020.

Blue-green algae: Lough Neagh 'already dead', says fisherman Dozens of protestors gathered to voice their concerns over a perceived lack of action on Lough Neagh.

"To me, personally, the lough is dead. It's not dying, it is dead."

Realistically, nobody seems to care"

- how will we explain to future generations that we allowed this to happen?

Hey #CriticalAnimalStudies people. I’m looing for a nice academic source that argues that our failure to see nonhuman animals as sentient individuals is a major cause of the ecological crisis or that the only way to solve the crisis is to recognise them as such, or something to that effect?

This very short video by @ethicalfarmie.bsky.social clearly shows the horrors of #LiveExport. Young Irish bulls are still being subjected to this and even shipped outside the EU where the EU 'protections' don't apply.
This needs to end now!

New Study Links Eating Chicken to Higher Death Risk New research finds eating over 300g of chicken a week raises mortality risk—by up to 61% in men—sparking fresh concern over poultry.

Virtually all chickens are bred to grow grotesquely large, kept indoors in crammed conditions their whole lives, killed as babies in the most gruesome way at a rate of 140 birds or more per minute. For the planet and for all animals boycott animal ag. #vegan

Moy Park is the most valuable company in the north, despite being mired with eco scandals. Pollution from major polluters like them have led to the growth of toxic Algae in Lough Neagh,

Scientists warn chemicals in pet flea treatments are killing wildlife The government says it's time to look again at the sale of pet flea treatments after scientists warned the chemicals in them kill wildlife including songbirds.

Bonobos use a kind of syntax once thought to be unique to humans The way bonobos combine vocal sounds to create new meanings suggests the evolutionary building blocks of human language are shared with our closest relatives

Our claims to uniqueness continue to deindle… www.newscientist.com/article/2474...

Indeed and thank you for that! 😊

We’re breeding far too many ‘pets’ into existence, marketing them as children’s toys and trivialising ‘ownership’. Under capitalism, sentient beings have become commodities, mass produced and often disposable with little regard to environmental costs.
@zoei.bsky.social has done great work on ‘pets’

A fascinating thread, not just because of the subject matter, but also because the author describes non-human animals as research and artist collaborators rather than as objects.

Significant criticism of Teagasc here by the @esri.ie for politicising agricultural science.

Another warning of the massive pressure data centre growth is putting on electricity supplies - their energy use will dwarf that of EVs & heat pumps even as those technologies become more common in the decade ahead

Irish flax in resilient food systems Two farmers are regrowing the Irish linen industry while restoring wildlife, reconnecting communities, and regenerating food systems.

Animal rights groups say Irish pig farming has 'systemic abuse' Animal Rebellion Ireland and the National Animal Rights have launched more video investigations into pig farming, exposing "systemic abuse" in the industry.

Pig farming has no place in modern society. It causes unimaginable suffering, devastates the environment, increases risks to public health, and pork has been linked to premature death from cancer and heart disease.
We need a plant-based food system. Go #vegan

We really need to reexamine our relationship with other animals. The cruelty and suffering on pig farms exceed our wildest imagination.
