Where are you from?

Not against hunting and racing dogs though, those still go through hell. Just look up any galgo rescue in Spain, and you'll see the hundreds of dogs that get dumped and or killed yearly after hunting season is over.

Why not? Hunters' dogs in my country have no different legal treatment, only military and police. And even then is almost no difference because animal protection laws are stronger here. The most difference is between pet dogs and guiding dogs since they need to be allowed inside supermarkets, and everywhere. It is perfectly possible and the torture and killings of hunting dogs needs to stop.

No problem

Great question! What about the invisible slaughter? Everyone is hyped about the stop of needless killing of bulls, but very few realize that killing the same cows for meat is just as unnessecary and hedonistic.

Celebrity led promotions of TV shows are what mentally ill people need, not funding for care 👍

Yo all the people crying for hunting dogs. It excludes them from the general ruling for pets and domestic animals, since they are used for an activity other than companion, like police, army and blind guiding dogs. A hunting dog can be subjected to abuse obviously, but they can’t be given the sabe legal treatment as pets.

Worth the -6 downvotes. Thank you so much

Or hunting dogs, or keep torturing bulls.

Shit!! The moment I read this I was thinking grey hounds. How are they possibly exempt?? So ridiculous.

Jesus. And I thought British fox hunts were bad for abusing their hounds (quite apart from the ripping apart of foxes bit). At least old hounds and non performers get the shotgun, not hanged or burned alive.

Please elaborate. What do you mean?

The same Spain that excluded hunting dogs from that law so they can be abused as much as they wish? Roped behind a car running, underfed, tortured, and abandoned? That Spain?

If the dog is not good at hunting they consider it dishonors the hunter. So they kill them by torturing them, most of the time by hanging them to trees and burning them alive.

-100°C is equivalent to -148°F, which is 173K.

^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)

Such discoveries often are sensationalised. I hope it leads to being not only efficient but also easily manufactured, but it seems that it would involve being able to grow the enzyme in mass and I don't think we have that kind of technology yet.

It's like any "new tech" article ever written. They show that jetpacks work with a tech demo, and then suggest it might be used everywhere in the future, despite the fact that they neglect to say you can fly only for 30 second intervals before having to refuel. Or perhaps they talk about a new atom-sized transistor that would make microchips incredibly small, but neglect to mention that it must be cooled to temperatures of -100°C and cost three times the cost of producing 50 traditional transistors. I appreciate the optimism, but it should be counterbalanced with a bit of realism as well.

That said, I hope something comes out of this, it should be explored more. I just wouldn't be expecting buildings to be covered with HUC paint that allows them to be entirely energy sufficient just yet. That day may one day come, but we're no closer to installing transparent solar panel glass in buildings than we are using HUC paint.

Animal abuse is abuse no matter who does it or where it happens.

If you can only criticise that by crying absolutism then so be it :)

I haven't done it myself, but I knew some people who had a group who built a wheelchair ramp every month. I'm not sure how they decided on who they were going to help, but they provided all the manpower (and did it as a group) and all the material. They do this in the Dallas area.

And from the pictures I've seen from them, I think you are right. I think this is too steep. I don't know if the law will force them to take it out from a house, but it wouldn't be allowed in a public building, and it isn't ideal for use in a home. (Though it may be much, much better than the stairs they had before.)

I also have started using a wheelchair myself recently. I mostly walk with a cane, but I can't walk far or stand for long, so a wheelchair gives me options I wouldn't have otherwise.

That ramp looks like the roughly the same angle as the steep part of my driveway. I can get up it, but barely. I'm actively using that to build up my upper body strength, much like lifting weights. Resistance training. I'll roll up it, then back down, then up again. Sometimes I more or less just rock back and forth, going forward a foot or so, then back again, then up a foot again. It's surprising to me how hard it is to power myself in a wheel chair very far or long, so I'm trying to build up more strength.

Those abused neglected farm animals are only isolated cases! Sure there are a lot of them and they constantly crop up resulting in hundreds of hours of evidence footage, but they're all just isolated!

And sure 95% of animals are raised intensively and subject to standard practices which cause intense suffering, but not the ones I buy, I'm totally sure because the label has a happy cow on it.

So no more factory farms? Oh wait those animals aren't domestic so they don't count.
