NYC Council hon LIC Feral Feeders for their work. So deserved. But (apologies for my less than mediocre rec skills) as the org points out, as anyone who has cared for a feral or stray knows, this is work done for the many by the few. And we need help #cats instagram.com/reel/DekLZ_0OG…

Is it possible not to honor @wildbirdfund at NY's 1st @nyccanimalwelfare? I got to spend time w/Rita Moran+write about their work and how #bird behavior+ our built environment negatively impacts welfare +well being (find the article on my site) instagram.com/reel/DepIbZpxa…

Been recommending #Valerian for ages. Great study! "For valerian essential oil, CSS was not signif reduced immediately after admin but was signif lower at one and two hours post-exposure. For dried valerian root, CSS was significantly reduced immediately" sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Good news: the Senate Ag Committee just passed a farm bill with no Save Our Bacon Act in it.
Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa tried at the last minute to add her SOB Act, which would force every state to allow the sale of pork from crated pigs.
She failed -- thanks to the pressure you've created. The Senate Ag Chair, who previously supported SOB, now knows it's too toxic to include.
But the fight isn't over. Pork industry lobbyists will now try to insert the SOB Act behind closed doors, using its presence in the House version of the farm bill as leverage.
Keep the pressure on. Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them: no farm bill with the Save Our Bacon Act in it.

Someone entrusted with protecting others should NEVER get a pass for sexually abusing an animal. @FBI agents hold enormous authority, and animals deserve protection too. Tell your senator to keep bestiality an automatic disqualifier 👉 peta.vg/48t2

“admin is proposing to do is take all of the force out of what we have all understood the act to mean: Don’t kill #endangeredspecies. What they seem to be saying in this doc is, it doesn’t matter if you killed an endangered species if you didn’t mean to.” nytimes.com/2026/09/16/clima…

"The path toward truly deciphering #animalcommunication will require a combination of #AI, behavioral observations, experiments and research into the nervous system. AI is a powerful tool, but it is no substitute for the perspective of the animal itself." phys.org/news/2026-09-ai-str…

"When we tell a dog "no" and it resists temptation, what happens in its brain? .. dogs may do more than respond automatically: When they restrain their behavior, their brains show a pattern of activity resembling the human neural signature of self-control" phys.org/news/2026-09-dogs-h…

How do you advocate for animals? Understanding behavior differences of #cats + #dogs are pathways to empathy+p/o #humaneeducation. It's how we deepen harmonious relationships w/pets in our homes, keep them there, and how we prevent #animalcruelty instagram.com/reel/DdWk6jURa…
"Overall, our results provide evidence for limited negative effects of the #CatBib™ on cat activity, though further investigation into high-energy hunting-specific behaviours would better clarify the total effect" #cats #animalwelfare sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
"However, despite similar proximity across groups, #dogs with SRP (#separationrelatedproblems) showed elevated physiological arousal, indicating that the unfamiliar person's passive presence did not correspond with reduced arousal in this study.)"

Yes, we take away the habituation to humans but what is replacing "Without a mother to guide them...these oversized, naive yearlings likely face a severe energetic deficit." Social support and learning are left off the table in this piece. Serious overlook frontiersin.org/news/2026/08…
