Excellent News Ecuador 🇪🇨.
Now let’s demolish ALL bullrings worldwide!!!
The Plaza de Toros de Quito opened in 1960 and for over six decades hosted the Jesús del Gran Poder Fair — one of the most important bullfighting events in Latin America, drawing crowds of up to 15,000.
In 2011, a public referendum in Quito banned the killing of animals in public shows. Bullfighting without its final act lost its audience. The arena fell into disuse, deteriorating physically and functionally over the years that followed.
City officials now say the structure is "no longer recommended" following recent structural assessments. Plans are underway to demolish it. What replaces it has not yet been confirmed.
The building did not close because of a government decision. It closed because people stopped coming. The vote in 2011 changed what the arena stood for, and the arena emptied on its own.
The broader debate is far from settled across Latin America. Mexico City passed new legislation in early 2025 restricting bullfighting to bloodless events, sparking angry protests from supporters and matadors. Some cities have moved away from the practice. Others have voted to keep it.
A 65-year-old arena is coming down. What took it down was not a wrecking ball. It was a ballot.

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.

⚠️ HEATWAVE WARNING ⚠️
With temperatures expected to reach up to 28 degrees over the coming week and beyond, the safety and wellbeing of all our dogs is paramount.
We have added several essential cooling items to our wishlist , the first four items are urgently needed to help keep our dogs safe and comfortable during the extreme heat, especially our elderly and unwell dogs, although all of our dogs will benefit from them.
Alongside caring for our dogs, we will also be carrying out outreach support for our street homeless community, providing water to people both with and without dogs during this hot weather.
Any support, no matter how small, would be hugely appreciated. 🙏
We are also in need of:
🐶 Salmon oil
🐶 Dry dog food

On Saturday 9th of May, The Badger Trust CEO Nigel Palmer reminded people that Badgers are the forgotten victims of hunting.
In an article by The Badger Trust Nigel states "“Terriermen working for hunts, often seen using quad bikes, block badger setts to force foxes into the open rather than allowing them to escape underground. They also send terriers into setts and dig out foxes, which is illegal. If hunts were truly following a scent trail, terriermen would have no role.”
The article also says, "of all the crimes committed against badgers, approximately 16% relate to the illegal blocking of setts, the majority of which are linked to fox hunting. This is especially significant given that hunting activity takes place over only five months each year from November to March."
This figure is likely to be much higher because as we know all too well most wildlife persecution takes place well away from prying eyes and there is no doubt a lot more cases that aren't reported.
Complete the consultation into banning "trail hunting" to protect all wildlife that continues to suffer at the hands of hunts. Scan the QR code for more information or follow the link in the comments.
