How very 😔

Jane Goodall has died at 91. Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. wapo.st/42jMe1f

Animal welfare campaigners are calling on football fans to write to their MP and get their footballing heroes to do likewise, over the brutal mass killing of dogs in Morocco ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. nationalworld.com/read-this/foot…

Amazing news from Sweden! 🇸🇪🐥 Our friends at @project1882 report that, as a result of voluntary action, no hens are being kept in cages, setting a powerful precedent for countries around the world. Legislation must be passed to prevent cages from returning. #EndTheCageAge.
