Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters.
Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow.
Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations.
The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species.
The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west.
A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.
The white lioness Sirona gave birth to two cubs but refused to care for them. The park staff became worried because the cubs were extremely weak, so they decided to find a foster mother 💓
At that time, Sandra, an 8-year-old German Shepherd who had recently given birth to a puppy, had plenty of milk. The staff introduced the two lion cubs to Sandra, and she immediately accepted them as her own, allowing them to nurse alongside her puppy.
Why are ethical questions always like, ‘Is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?’ and not, ‘Is it ethical to hoard bread while families are starving?
YouTubers be like “wake up at 4am and run, that’s alpha!” No, it’s not. Look at apex predators; they’re all lazy. Bears hibernate, lions sleep all day. You know who wakes up at 4am and runs? Squirrels.
My Marinella lost her foal three weeks ago now.
Unfortunately, even the vet couldn't save him, he was born after a long labor, with no life. I felt all her pain and it was a really sad moment. Her care was these puppies, she adopted them and loves spending time cuddling and getting their tail bitten. Being able to witness these moments is the biggest blessing I have ♥️
