“Hell is empty and all the devils are here." — William Shakespeare

Two elderly horses, Leo and Lou, were worked to the point of exhaustion and abandoned by their former owner when they could no longer work. Thin, frail, and close to death from starvation and illness, they were rescued by a dedicated rescue team. Thanks to loving care and an incredible recovery journey—especially with the help of an underwater treadmill—Leo gained more than 136 kilograms (300 pounds) in just three months. Today, the two best friends are enjoying a happy retirement together, living side by side on a lush green farm, running freely, and finally receiving the love and kindness they have always deserved.🐴❤️🐴

If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take that shit down. A landmark University of Delaware study (Frick and Tallamy, 1996) counted nearly 14,000 insects killed by residential bug zappers over a single summer. Mosquitoes were 31 of them. A mere 0.22%. The other 99.78% were moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and the night-shift pollinators your yard depends on. Mosquitoes don't navigate by light. They find you by your carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your bug zapper is invisible to them and lethal to almost everything else. Harvard Medical School's Zika page specifically warns against bug zappers because they may increase mosquito populations by killing the predators that eat them. What actually works: eliminate standing water within 100 feet of where you spend time outside. Bug zappers are 1970s technology built on a 1970s misunderstanding of mosquitoes. It's time to take it down.

In about one hour, I will be arraigned on 4 felony counts and face up to 30 years in prison for taking this little guy out of a Ridglan cage. In addition to charging me, the government has banned me from contacting my co-defendants and is now trying to undermine my right to a speedy trial. But every corrupt and unconstitutional act by the government will simply make our case even stronger. We press forward to defend the right to rescue—and to defend the tens of thousands of other dogs (and billions of other animals) who remain trapped in cruel cages. Most importantly, we defend James. Every time I come home, he jumps in my lap and begs to be picked up. It was the first place he ever felt safe. Rescuing him was not a crime. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I relish the opportunity to defend rescuing James in court.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Doctor, my eyes

Spraying just one dandelion with roundup will kill 100 pollinators. The flower will take days to die, and in that time will be visited by dozens of bees and butterflies, poisoning them as well. The exposed pollinators don't die quickly, as they would with insecticide exposure. The death is slower and more brutal. In the case of bumblebees, they lose their ability to see colors, can't find flowers, and starve to death. If the dandelions truly are a hell no for your yard, pull them. Don't spray them.
