@sciencegirl @SooozeKerr It's the same in Lindos. Fatties riding on donkeys up to the castle instead of walking. 😡

Tourists weighing over 220 pounds (100 kg) are no longer allowed to ride donkeys in Santorini under updated animal welfare rules.
The decision follows concerns that the animals were being overburdened, especially on the island’s steep routes, including the 500+ steps leading to Fira. Experts recommend donkeys carry no more than roughly 20% of their body weight.
New guidelines also require regular rest breaks, daily movement, and constant access to water. The changes came after pressure from animal welfare advocates highlighting overwork and heat exposure.
Visitors can still reach the top by walking or using the cable car—offering alternatives while reducing strain on the animals.

@Cobra__Driver @AmericaPapaBear God created men and woman as equals with different roles. We are not animals we were taken from the man’s rib part of him.

Every year, 12 Million girls under 18 years old are sold into marriage.
650 Million women & girls alive today were married as children (before 18).
And I’m supposed to believe all cultures are equal?

@Number10cat @RupertLowe10 It is far more humane to hunt, prepare and eat our own meat than to slit its throat and hang it upside down for a slow death. Maybe we should all be made to hunt if we want meat? I’m veggie by the way.

On day one of a Restore Britain Government, both halal and kosher slaughter would be outlawed.
In Britain, we treat our animals with care - we do not brutally butcher them alive.
It's cruel, it's sick, it's barbaric.
Restore Britain would ban it.

@_amitbehere @IKabir0007 @rickygervais is an atheist and he's donated millions to animal charities. Being an atheist doesn't make you evil.
English
@IKabir0007 or among atheists btw. I am very sure actually bad atheists are among the worst people in the world, because they don't even fear God. 1000% sure Modi, Trump, Netanyahu etc are all basically atheists. Savarkar was an atheist.

A lot of Muslims are dishonestly (but somewhat justifiably) mocking western values because of #EpsteinFiles.
Well, western values are STILL the right values to follow in modern societies, they are still far superior to past values,
even if plenty of westerners, especially rich/powerful are hypocrites and go against those values.
Values !== people.
And btw, just because a Hindu/Muslim is not in Epstein Files doesn't mean Hindu and Muslim men aren't pedophiles, psychopaths and perverts.

@JudeTaylor25 100%. And if he loves the environment so much why doesn't he get that 25 tons of rubbish cleaned up that is on his land instead of expecting the tax payer to pay for it ?

This from the King who described fox hunting as romantic and enviromentally friendly. What an utter hypocrite. #ThisMorning

How long will they have to run for before this Govt acts on banning trail hunting?!

The UK government is taking steps to restrict people’s right to protest against animal experiments – email your MP now! #animaltestingprotests petauk.org/4f2

@PeterHuntingto3 It does still exist under the guise of trail hunting. That's why trail hunting is being banned. Have you been living under a rock ?
English
People who think fox hunting, banned by law, still exists clearly want to put up a bogus argument against people who enjoy riding with hounds. They are odious.
Wokerati Marty@WokeratiMarty
Here's Brian May saying people who enjoy fox hunting are "sadists."🎯 It's interesting that the guy from the Countryside Alliance replies, "They're not ALL sadists," implying that some are.

@NiohBerg I voted for this ban . And so did millions of others
English
Did the UK actually ban one of the most British traditions ever?
Who voted for this ban? Who wanted it?

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES WILDLIFE!

@tomhfh @LestaLefty This has got to be the stupidest comment I have seen all year.

Very moving interview. It’s absurd that the government wants to ban dogs chasing after a scent on the ground.

'I'm in serious trouble if it comes in. It's my entire life.' GB News reporter Will Godley is live in Chipping Norton with trail hunter Amy Aldworth, who says a potential ban on trail hunting is 'her life' and describes the 'devastation' it would cause as 'heartbreaking.'
English
@mr_james_c @TheAgentMaddi There's plenty of evidence if you bothered to look. Just take a look at some of the footage on one of the many Hunt Sabs groups on here or Facebook ....
English
@TheAgentMaddi So you have actual evidence of this right? Right?
English
A reminder: they are trying to ban dogs chasing a scent - not a real fox, the scent of a fox.
Truly absurd.
