Totally unacceptable for someone like this to hold the post of councillor for any party.

[Jennifer Thetford-Kay @JenKteach]

Green Party hypocrisy in one councillor:
Zoe Marlow starved her Staffie to death, The RSPCA investigated after a tip-off, and found the elderly dog severely emaciated, very weak, unable to stand properly, and suffering from muscle wastage.
She was convicted, sentenced to a six-month community order, ordered to pay a £120 fine, complete five rehabilitation activity requirement (RAR) days, and was banned from keeping dogs for five years, but still sits as their rep while pushing trans ideology on her own child.
They lecture us on animal welfare and "kindness" but can't even protect a dog in the home of one of their own. Inhumane. 😡

@ZackPolanski Why is this woman still a councillor for the Green Party?

A "dove release" at a wedding or funeral is a death sentence for the birds.

The white "doves" sold for releases aren't doves. They're domestic pigeons bred to be small and white, and they have no survival skills outside a coop.

DIY releasers often buy white Ringneck Doves or King Pigeons, which have zero ability to navigate home. Nearly all of them die.

Even professional releases with trained homing pigeons kill birds. Hawks take them in the air. Cars hit them when they land exhausted. They collide with windows. They get lost and starve.

Rehabbers pull them in with broken wings, broken legs, raging trichomoniasis, and bodies so emaciated the birds can barely stand.

One rehabber described treating a white pigeon from a release whose throat infection had hardened so completely it distorted the shape of his skull.

There is no version of this tradition where the birds "fly away and live happily ever after." That's the marketing story. The reality is that you paid to traumatize and usually kill a domestic animal for a 15-second photo moment.

If someone you know is planning a dove release for a wedding, funeral, or celebration, tell them. Bubbles, sparklers, dried flower petals, or ribbon throws all photograph beautifully and don't kill anything.

The birds are not props, they are live animals that need proper care.

@spacepirate_404 @Pontifex The absolute ignorance of this is embarrassing. If you're going to sit on your arse criticising, at least read his bio first, because you clearly haven't. If you had an ounce of his intelligence, devotion to others or self-sacrifice, you'd be fortunate.

A bricklayer in East Yorkshire has spent 35 years installing nest boxes for barn owls in his free time.

No grant. No organization behind him. Just Robert Salter, quietly building and mounting over 350 boxes across fields and farms on weekends, before and after work, for three and a half decades.

This year was the second-best barn owl breeding season in the region in decades. 304 owlets counted. Last year there were 95.

Barn owls have struggled across the UK for generations due to habitat loss, rodenticide poisoning, starvation from agricultural changes that eliminated the field margins where voles live, and collisions with vehicles on roads that cut through their hunting territory.

In many parts of England, populations collapsed while nobody was paying much attention.

One man paying attention changed the outcome for an entire region.

"This bird has lived alongside humans since they settled in this country," Salter told the BBC. "Because of that close relationship, I just feel like we owe it to barn owls to help and maintain their future populations."

The conservation story we usually tell involves governments, legislation, and international agreements.

Those matter, but so does one person who decided a species deserved better and just kept showing up.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of when I met the Ravens. They just checked me out from a distance then! Here is some of my fav footage:them courting, feeding each other, barrel rolling, some of their vocalisations. They are the most amazing birds and I am so lucky to have them!

@willforamerica1 @AstroRebirth314 @RpsAgainstTrump The bible is a book, written by many people, most many years after Jesus died. It is full of contradictions and highly selective, to take it literally now would be ridiculous. PEOPLE hate others, for their sexuality, religion, whatever. God doesn't, and Jesus didn't.

[Fevvers @Fevvvers]

@willforamerica1 @AstroRebirth314 @RpsAgainstTrump Jesus Christ loved every human being.

@right_of_franco @JasonTateUF @RupertLowe10 It'll never happen. You'd never get a majority of Brits to vote for killing migrants, they're too decent. Deportations and tighter controls on legal immigration, yes, probably.

@Jimbo09069094 @RealJamesMJr @NickJFuentes @CristinaCrisp3 Number of women who have rape fantasies? Plenty. Number of women who want to be raped? Zero. The clue is in the word 'fantasy.' Fantasies are about sex. Rape is not about sex. No woman wants to be brutalised, and no decent man (which is most men) wants to brutalise women.

@LucyKelly1000 @SzabadonMagyar @rerum_de_bello Hungary is already in the EU. Countries make their own immigration policy. Magyar is harder line on immigration than Orban.

[Fevvers @Fevvvers]

@HSternfan01 @SzabadonMagyar Magyar is actually more hard line than Orban when it comes to immigration. He's anti-Russia and anti-corruption, but far from a progressive.

@Allan1165794 @SzabadonMagyar Magyar is actually more hard line than Orban when it comes to immigration. He's anti-Russia and anti-corruption, but definitely no 'lefty.'

[Hunt Saboteurs Association @HuntSabs]

For over twenty years hunts have hidden behind the smokescreen of ‘trail hunting’
and have exploited the loopholes and exemptions that are in the current Hunting Act.

The consultation into banning 'trail hunting' consists of 29 questions and the HSA have provided guidance to assist you in formulating strong responses that can be written quickly and easily.

The HSA has over 60 years' experience in the field and we have applied
our extensive knowledge of hunting to the guidance we have provided to ensure that
a watertight ban is finally implemented.
