[Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting @CBTHunting]

Ahead of the Makerfield by-election, we're calling on Andy Burnham to publicly back a trophy hunting import ban.

The Labour Party manifesto included a ban on trophy hunting imports, but the Government has yet to announce a timeline for introducing the ban.

That bread you're tossing to the ducks malnourishes the adults and can leave the babies unable to fly for the rest of their lives.

Bread is junk food for a duck. It fills them up so they quit foraging for the bugs, plants, and seeds that actually feed them.

In a growing duckling, a diet that heavy in empty carbs makes the wing grow too fast and twist at the joint. The feathers jut out sideways, the wing never works right, and the bird is grounded for good. It's called angel wing, and in an adult it can't be undone.

It doesn't stop at the birds. A pond where people dump bread gets crowded and aggressive, ducklings never learn to find their own food, and the soggy leftovers rot into algae blooms and draw rats.

If you want to feed them, give them food, not filler: cracked corn, oats, halved grapes, chopped lettuce, a handful of thawed peas.

Better yet, just watch them. A healthy pond already feeds its ducks. They were doing fine before the bread showed up.

The world’s primary forests are more than just trees. They are elders of the Earth, older than any human story, sheltering species we have yet to see, breathing life into the world around us.

Protect the irreplaceable.

@flea333 My best night this year was spent watching you, Deantoni, Anna, Josh, Jeff, Thom and Warren in London a week ago. Fantastic performances and a testament to the power of live music. Thank you for being a brave and emotionally open human being. We hear it in the music.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

@domdyer70 Done. Thank you for highlighting this issue and for sharing it. We can't allow for this cruelty to continue.
