The word ‘chicken’ has come to represent a cooking ingredient. Despite – or perhaps because of – a world where information has never been easier to discover, those with vested interest in making money from using animals, and the powerful advertising propaganda they wield to ensure their continued profitability, have become more ruthless than ever before. No one is ever encouraged to understand the consequences of their demands as consumers, particularly when these consequences run counter to every single value that the majority of people believe that they hold. In adverts and programmes on every available form of media, in stores, and in restaurants, a steady stream of soothing reassurance veils the grotesque trade in suffering and death with a carefully constructed facade of acceptability. ‘Everyone does it. Everything is fine. Don’t worry. We’ll keep selling if you keep buying.’

Chicken. That cookery…

Human insect use and consumption – a compilation

Acheta domesticus or House cricket

I was shocked to read recently that around 1 TRILLION (1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000) individual insects are currently raised for consumption and killed on farms every year. It’s a staggering number, all the more so for the fact that it’s almost never publicised. Despite over a decade living vegan, I was previously completely unaware that the exploitation of insects is so extensive. And that exploitation is booming.

The INFOODS program at Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome has published the Food composition database for biodiversity with the aim of making nutritional values of wild and underutilized foods available. In the latest version (2017 version 4.0) of this database, a total of 471 entries of edible insects were included. Looking more closely, I discovered that there are six common commercial edible insect species at present, including cricket (Acheta domesticus), honeybee (Apis…

In the film “Jurassic Park,” billionaire John Hammond, played by Richard Attenborough, brings paleontologists Alan Grant, played by Sam Neill, and Ellie Sattler, played by Laura Dern, as well as mathematician Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum, to help him bring dinosaurs back to life for his dinosaur theme park. Hammond’s fascination and desire to revive dinosaurs backfires when many of them break free and start to terrorize the park-goers.

Maybe the dinosaurs were meant to stay in their time. If that is so, when did the dinosaurs go extinct?

When did dinosaurs go extinct?

According to National Geographic, dinosaurs went extinct about 66 million years ago. Paleontologists have yet to discover rocks with a trace of a dinosaur younger than 66 million years, during the Cretaceous period.

According to the United States Geological survey, dinosaurs roamed the Earth for 165 million…

ENTERPRISE, Ore. (KTVZ) — Two Oregon men convicted of illegally guiding hunters in Wallowa County forfeited mules and gear, among other penalties, following a multi-state investigation, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Monday.

The case activated a new Turn In Poachers (TIP) reward program, directed by the Oregon Outfitter Guide Association, according to law enforcement.

David H Ravia, 69, from Dayton, and Caleb L Richmond, 48, from McMinnville, guided out-of-state hunters in Hells Canyon National Recreation Area for at least the last 10 years, according to Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Lieutenant Ryan Howell.

KYIV, Ukraine — A Russian missile struck close to a nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine without damaging the three reactors but hit other industrial equipment in what Ukrainian authorities denounced Monday as an act of “nuclear terrorism.”

The strike followed warnings from Russian President Vladimir Putin of possible stepped-up attacks on key Ukrainian infrastructure after his forces suffered humiliating battlefield setbacks.

The missile struck 328 yards from the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear plant, also known as the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant, according to Ukrainian nuclear operator Energoatom.

Bird flu endangers penguin colony in South Africa: media

Exposing the Big Game's avatarThe Extinction Chronicles

By XinhuaPublished: Sep 18, 2022 09:26 PM

https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202209/1275504.shtml

Four cases of avian flu, or bird flu, were confirmed among the endangered penguins at Boulders Penguin Colony in South Africa’s Cape Town, News24, a ­local news website reported on Saturday, citing a clinical veterinarian.

As of Friday, there had been four confirmed cases and another seven ­suspected cases, said Table Mountain National Park management.

Once seabirds show symptoms of bird flu, they usually die soon afterward, News24 reported, quoting Dr David Roberts, a clinical veterinarian at the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds as saying.

The flu strain is the same as the one detected in seabirds in the Western Cape in 2021. That outbreak saw thousands of birds die in vulnerable colonies. Now, conservationists worry the same fate could await the endangered penguins, if no quick action is taken.

Roberts said that it could also pose…
