Our support for activists saving dogs from the heinous #DogMeatTrade in #Vietnam

"We sat down with the owner of one of the largest dog and cat slaughterhouses west of Hanoi.
To gain access to places like this, I often have to build trust quickly. We did that by sitting down for tea and allowing the owner to explain his operation and why he runs it.
Over the course of half an hour, we learned about the scale of the business, the methods of slaughter, and something I didn’t expect: the government had tried to shut him down before. Multiple times.
So how was he still operating?
According to the owner, he simply ignored the requests.
This industry exists in a legal grey area. While dog and cat meat itself is not broadly prohibited, many operations rely on illegal practices to remain profitable, including the theft of pets for slaughter—something this particular slaughterhouse was implicated in.
Although I was never able to determine the exact violation authorities cited, the owner made one thing clear: he had no intention of shutting down. Business was booming.
As long as this industry remains profitable, operations like these will continue to exist, and many will have little hesitation engaging in illegal activities, such as pet theft, if it increases their profits.
What can you do to help stop it?
Share. Save. Sign petitions.
Only through increased awareness and public pressure can we encourage local authorities to take stronger action against this industry."

What really drives leaders to resist remote work isn't productivity. It’s ego.
Our new data: Ordering people in full-time is a power & status move. Bosses want to be worshiped at the office altar.
Policies shouldn’t be vanity projects. Hybrid is better for people & performance.
La política es un mamarracho. Solo sirve para dividir, esta lleno de fanatismo como en las rivalidades de equipos de fútbol o religiones. Izquierda, derecha
La inmensa mayoría de la gente de Lima tiene una abuela o una tía que se ve igual que esa señora, pero insisten en creer que son "blancos".
En el fondo, el voto por López Aliaga fue totalmente aspiracional. Votaron por Porky porque es blanco, todo lo demás es pretexto.
An easy way to get unstuck is to get up and take a walk.
We generate more creative ideas during and after walking outdoors—and even on a treadmill facing a blank wall.
Divergent thinking rarely happens when we're tethered to a desk. Moving our bodies frees our minds.
