Why is @TaylorWimpey felling mature & veteran #trees in #Newcastle during bird nesting season? #Bats roost in these #trees. Why has @NewcastleCC allowed such widespread ecological destruction of #trees, #woodlands, hedgerows & #wildlife?



🚨 Farm Bill Moves Forward...But Animal Protections Blocked The House passed its version of the Farm Bill, but only after blocking votes on multiple bipartisan animal welfare amendments that had strong support to pass. Among the measures denied a vote: - Ending extreme confinement of pigs - Halting horse slaughter exports - Cracking down on animal fighting networks - Stopping subsidies for mink fur farms Lawmakers were allowed to vote on a carve-out to weaken the greyhound racing ban, and rejected it 178–237. Critics say leadership blocked the other amendments because they would have passed. Now attention shifts to the Senate, where advocates say there’s still a path forward to restore these protections. 📢 The fight for animals isn’t over...it’s moving to the next stage.
