Felony animal cruelty probe still ‘active’ one year after Wyoming wolf's torture, prosecutor says - WyoFile Cody Roberts’ infamous decision to bring a wounded wolf into a bar spawned a new law, but county attorneys are still weighing whether to charge the Daniel resident using preexisting statutes.

Felony animal cruelty probe still ‘active’ one year after Wyoming wolf’s torture!
Cody Roberts’ brutal & sickening torture of a young wolf was horrific
Surely there can be no doubt of his guilt & obscene cruelty to a sentient animal?

How our obsession with meat is wasting food that could feed two billion people We need to ensure that food production serves its true purpose – feeding people, not profit

"Today’s food systems are failing to meet the needs of billions of people as well as leading the war on nature, creating devastating feedback loops. Ruined crops. Dwindling incomes. Increasing climate-related disasters."

In the four months since Brittany Ferries resumed live exports, 131,862 unweaned calves have been transported by sea from Ireland to France, by Brittany Ferries, Stena Line and Irish Ferries.

Today, we’re again urging Brittany Ferries to stop the cruelty of carrying live farmed animals on its ships.

Just weeks old, unweaned calves can suffer overcrowding, stress, exhaustion & dehydration during these journeys.

How alternative proteins could cut high food prices and help Europe meet its climate goals There’s a reason the price of your cheeseburger is going up. Since the pandemic, consumer beef prices in the European Union have surged 30%, pork by 42% and chicken by 35%. Dairy production costs are also rising, making the price of cheese also increasingly volatile.

Alternative proteins will play an important role in a sustainable future - policymakers must step up to support their development for the sake of future generations ⬇️ www.reuters.com/sustainabili...
