1/35 - Christians often claim that God endorses meat eating when He grants them dominion over creation in Genesis 1.
đ« But this is NOT what âdominionâ means.
âDominionâ simply means sovereignty or rulership. But there can be bad rulers as well as good rulers.

2/35 - â The question is what kind of dominion God wants us to have.
In Genesis, God doesnât give us dominion so that we can act as tyrants, subjecting our fellow creatures to horrifying abuses in order to satisfy our material pleasures.

As he weren't reacting too much.. we decided to take him with us to base. Located 10 km from Bakhmut, Chassiv Yar is proper hell these days. We found an ammunition old box...recreated some sort of grass environment and took him at the back of our car

THIS COULD BE THE MOST HORRIFIC ANIMAL SUFFERING PICTURE YOU WILL SEE TODAY, & YOU PROBABLY CANNOT TELL WHATâS HAPPENING. This is the horror of industrial scale animal experimentation. #Rats have been forced into tubes and inserted into this device. #EndAnimalExperiments
These inquisitive, intelligent beings are unable to move and must be terrified. This contraption can choke to death up to 50 #animals at a time. Next, a technician switches on the machine and it fills with aerosol paint.
These animals are trapped & utterly immobile, with the only air available suddenly thick with choking paint for 3 hours. Half of them died, with survivors barely alive at the end of the test. The conclusion? Forced inhalation of paint is poisonous to #rats. #StopAnimalTesting

Flowering as early as late February (flowering from last year's growth & another reason not to cut hedges) & before its leaves are formed, its glorious abundance of creamy blossoms provides vital sustenance for bees after winter.

Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that a very talented artist whose work is beloved by many zoos and furries has used their influence and platform to unintentionally spread harmful misinformation. Despite the good intentions of @Elicitie, this must be corrected.

This is a position @Elicitie, I, zoos, and many animal advocates share. Indeed sexual contact between homosapiens and other taxalogical families should be consensual. The term 'zoophilia' has been superseded by 'zoosexuality' in the literature.

Let me start with #insulin. In the 1970s, insulin was extracted from the pancreas of animals. In the 1980s, @Genentech, working with Eli Lilly (@LillyPad), developed insulin using a new technology that I call #PrecisionFermentation. It wasnât animal insulin. It was human insulin.
The mainstream would say: âhealth care is slow, it canât be disrupted.â
Well, hereâs the S-curve of #PrecisionFermentation human insulin. Human insulin disrupted animal insulin in about 13 years.

Ce poisson, Lithognathus mormyrus, mesure jusqu'à 55cm, possÚde un dos zébré caractéristique avec un profil rectiligne. C'est une espÚce qui cherche ses proies, des invertébrés, dans le sable et le sédiment.
Ses solides molaires sont capables de broyer de petits oursins et des crustacés. A noter qu'il est protandre, c'est-à -dire qu'il est mùle vers 2 ans puis femelle entre 4 et 7 ans. La capture de tout individu de moins de 20 cm est interdite quelle que soit la technique utilisée.

Although there is legal and scientific disagreement about #sentience, there are some standards that are broadly accepted.
According to @SentienceInst, sentience is simply the ability to have positive and negative experiences, including pain. 2/14

1. One of our toughest & longest battles to save #wildlife started on #WorldEnvironmentDay of 2016, when our team mates Suvrajyoti Chatterjee & Meghna Banerjee came to know about the horrific "ritualistic hunting festivals" of South Bengal.
2. We witnessed thousands of slaughtered wild #animals strewn across the railway platforms of Howrah & East Medinipur districts.
We faced both physical as well as verbal abuse from the hunters before we could even grasp the true extent of devastation inflicted by them.

In May, we saw cattle burp #emissions from space for the first time, cases of #monkeypox in the UK, and the @HumaneSociety urged the release of 80 beagles from an animal testing lab.
