Animals are NOT ours to use and abuse! 😡
Donkeys don’t deserve this 💔
Never pay to ride a donkey in Santorini or anywhere else.

Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
Ondo, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, & @Ripple successfully completed a landmark pilot transaction connecting the XRP ledger with interbank settlement rails.
This milestone marks the first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time and outside traditional banking windows.
1. Ondo processed Ripple’s OUSG redemption on XRP Ledger
2. Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan
3. J.P. Morgan delivered USD to Ripple's Singapore bank account
Tokenized assets are no longer separate from the global financial system. For the first time, a public blockchain and global banking infrastructure settled a cross-border transaction of a tokenized fund together in real time.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
Ohio has enacted a law banning the use of restrictive metal gestation crates for pregnant pigs, with the ban taking effect in January 2026,
the result of a 15-year campaign by animal welfare advocates.
These narrow metal stalls, about seven feet long and too tight for sows to turn around, have been criticized for causing physical problems and stress-related behaviors such as sores, lameness, bar-biting, and depression. The new restrictions aim to reduce the constant confinement that contributes to these welfare issues.
By limiting gestation crate use during pregnancy (though not banning farrowing crates used at birthing), Ohio joins other states including California and Michigan in tightening standards for pig housing. As the 11th state to adopt such measures, the move reflects a broader trend toward integrating modern animal welfare science into livestock production practices.

How can anyone defend this horrendous cruelty in the name of science
EXPOSING THE TRUTH: INSIDE YORK UNIVERSITY’S PRIMATE LAB
Leaked whistleblower footage from York University has exposed the harrowing reality for research macaques. Recorded between 2024 and 2025, the evidence reveals primates living in extreme distress with severe physical trauma, including metal posts protruding from their heads and bleeding surgical sites. In one tragic instance, a macaque named Kenny was forced to rip out his own brain implant after hours of agitation and pain.
The evidence further highlights profound psychological suffering, with animals constantly pacing, swaying, and struggling against restrictive neck collars. Neglect reached such a level that animals were filmed drinking their own urine due to acute dehydration, while lab records since 2009 document over 15 escapes and chronic infections. Although the university maintains it complies with regulations, independent experts have condemned these conditions as inhumane, prompting a formal inquiry by the Canadian Council on Animal Care.

Ten years ago, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus ended elephant acts, but the cruelty continues with other exhibitors. 14 elderly elephants are still forced on the road to tour with other circuses. At a time when many Americans assume circus elephant acts are long gone, these shows continue quietly across the country with a population of geriatric elephants, many of whom are in their mid-to-late 50s.

Referred to as “bycatch” by the fishing industry, animals who are unintentionally caught are usually tossed back into the ocean, often dead or too injured to survive.
