I am devastated to learn that my dear friend, my brother in arms, Paul Conroy has gone on to the next life.
He was one of the bravest men I have ever known. I can barely believe it, we only spoke yesterday.
His loss will be felt profoundly by us all.
Rest in peace @reflextv.

@BGatesIsaPyscho Dude, I lived in Bury St Edmunds for 5 years, it's fucking lovely, safe as it gets. What stupid thing to say.

@domdyer70 Clearly drawing sadistic pleasure from torturing innocent animals. What kind of mentality must you have to do this.

RESCUE SHELTER DESTROYED in TURKEY 😢
This kind young woman rescued tens of dogs from the streets to keep them safe in a makeshift shelter she created by herself.
This morning she went to feed the dogs only to see the shelter was destroyed and all her dogs taken to a death camp by the authorities in Inegol, Turkey. She is left with a broken heart as she knows her dogs now face a brutal ending. 💔 @RTErdogan @MeldaKelemcisoy @animalsavemvmt #Turkey

38,000 more badgers to be slaughtered & now Labour plans to legalise harmful practice of carrying chickens by legs, say charities. Keir Stamer is making the Tories look animal friendly @ciwf @BadgerCrowd theguardian.com/environment/20…

@domdyer70 @RTErdogan @MeldaKelemcisoy @InsaneHuseyin @animalsavemvmt This is horrifying. Poor innocent creatures. How utterly cruel.

Yer giresun, belediye hayvana iğne atıyor, araçla çarpıp kaçıyorlar, etraf kan gölü. Zalimsin insanoğuu.

@domdyer70 It’s utterly cruel. To even try and imagine what poor Laiki went through alone and terrified and in pain. RIP

67 years ago, Laika was launched into space.
Laika, ′′Little Barker" but her real name was Kudrjavka, Russian for ′′curly." She was captured on the street, in Moscow.
Half Husky and half Terrier, she was around 3 years old at the time. She was chosen because she was calm, docile and perfectly adaptable to the Sputnik 2 capsule. Equipped for life support (food and water), the mission didn't involve return. For Laika, it was a death sentence.
The interior of the satellite was lined and the interior space was wide enough to allow Laika to lie or stand. The internal temperature was set to 15. and a refrigeration system had to protect the animal from excessive thermal surges.
On November 3rd at 2 AM, Sputnik 2 was launched into space. Laika probably survived for seven hours.
But some sources claim that agony was much longer: four days.
Alone, in space.
The satellite returned to atmosphere 5 months later, April 14, 1958, after turning 2.570 laps around Earth.
It disintegrated upon return to the atmosphere.
Every year, before Fall, I feel compelled to tell this story and possibly do it with new words. There's a deep guilt that all of us should feel reading what we did to Laika. Human progress has often been achieved at the expense of animals that had nothing to do with our desire for supremacy.
Many people believe this was an acceptable price for our conquests, but it seems obvious, even reading this story, that was really just a trivial form of prevarication.
We had a duty to choose another path.
We still have that duty today.
Sorry humanity has failed you, Laika 💔

1974 - 2024
Today marks 50 years since the second phase of Turkey's illegal invasion of #Cyprus in 1974.
Half a century later, the illegal occupation of 36,2% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, and the forcible division of our country and its people with tragic consequences, continues.
Φτάνει. Yeter. Enough.

The organised dog slaughter in Turkey “legalized” recently by the government continues…
A municipal garbage truck caught these little puppies to massacre them in garbage zones. So innocent and unaware of what’s happening, they were snatched up and taken to be brutally slaughtered.
Similar videos are being shared on social media platforms from all over Turkey.
Only monsters kill dogs. Even worse evil monsters kill puppies.

Horror in Tehran: I am furious, outrage and heartbroken to see how 14-year-old teenagers being savagely attacked by the morality police for not covering their hair. This video, released by a reformist website, coincides with the execution of a protester Reza Rasaei who stood against the murder of another girl Mahsa Amini by the morality police. The timing of this video’s release, while the execution goes unmentioned, has ignited anger among Iranians. The international community must amplify the voices of women who say no to the police and the gender apartheid regime, and of our brothers who are hanged for supporting us.
