If you follow me and the dogs all year id love if you could watch this. It’s a once a year thing I do. The only time I ever ask. You can support here happydoggo.com/donate?utm_s...

Animal ag uses ~200× more freshwater than AI. AI data centres are projected to use ~1 trillion litres/yr by 2028. Animal ag already consumes 228 trillion litres of blue water/yr. Not defending AI, but this context isn't well known. I also wonder how much AI water goes to military vs. general use.

Important letter in @theguardian.com from @profpaulbehrens.bsky.social "This is not alarmism. As the @thecccuk.bsky.social report shows, our high-grade farmland in England & Wales could collapse from 40% to just over 10% by 2050, striking at our ability to feed ourselves."

I wrote to the Guardian on the need for a Nature and National Security Bill as proposed by @zero-hour.bsky.social - national security isn't just jets and ships but whether we can feed ourselves and keep homes dry... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you're in the UK, please support and share this petition to hold a UK-wide briefing on climate and nature risks. It's growing fast, let's get to 10,000 by the end of this week! Then the government will respond to it 100,000 and it is debated in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

I nearly fell off my chair when I found out that Gibraltar HAS NEVER HAD A SEWAGE PLANT and therefore ALL ITS RAW, UNTREATED SEWAGE (from a mere 40,000 people and their businesses) is dumped straight into the MEDITERRANEAN Sea. Great work, guys. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

7. Well, the rest of us should remember that we are paying for this, and we should decide how our money is spent. No taxation without representation – and that should apply in the countryside as much as the town. Thank you.

6. What it says is “this is our territory, culturally as well as geographically, and we’ll keep it looking the way we want, which is one big sheep pasture, regardless of what those blethering eco-nuts with their binoculars and anoraks say. We dominate here, and the rest of you can eff off.”

5. So what’s really going on? The value of any grazing created is minimal – arguably negative, as sheep-farming here is loss-making and survives only through subsidies. I believe the real reason it continues is the same reason the far right attaches flags to lamp-posts. It’s a territorial marker.

Good news - High Court rules parts of Dartmoor have been mismanaged! Overgrazing has been damaging protected sites on Dartmoor. Read the Press Release about our latest legal challenge: wildjustice.org.uk?p=52680&prev...

Brilliant result from our legal challenge about overgrazing on Dartmoor ⚖️ Now the Dartmoor Commoners' Council must fulfil its statutory duty & urgently make appropriate assessments of stocking densities & reduce the number of sheep where overgrazing is apparent. wildjustice.org.uk/dartmoor/wil...

Hacer "todo lo posible" mientras siguen pescando la especie es una indicación clara de que no les importa lo más mínimo. Me alegra saber que la supervivencia de la industria se tambalea. A ver si se acaba de una vez.

BREAKING: Head gamekeeper Racster Dingwall pleads guilty to conspiracy to kill a Hen Harrier at York Magistrates Court this morning.

'Hundreds' of UK Peregrines targeted for illegal falconry trade in Middle East. Unsurprisingly, those with a vested interest in legal trade of captive-bred falcons downplay the scale of illegal laundering or claim it doesn't exist at all. #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/01/07/h...

It is abhorrent how the English rural way of life is decimating wildlife everywhere, with total impunity. Yorkshire seems to be a hotspot of vicious crimes against raptors. To me, everything from Yorkshire is tainted.

Remember the US military budget is mostly funded by debt partly held and funded by European countries. Time to reverse. The finance oligarchs know what's at stake and will put a stop to this madness. Otherwise, it's crash of the US bond market and of Wall Street as a whole. bsky.app/profile/grac...

El Gobierno de España se ha manifestado al respecto. www.eldiario.es/internaciona...

And here it is. Starmer's post-press-conference statement manages to be even more cowardly than his initial response. Vague call for international law to be respected. Ignores that it has *already been violated* this morning. No mention of US.

Spain's PM Pedro Sanchez is 1st European leader to make a stronger statement following Trump's press conference where he said the US will run Venezuela and take its oil. Sanchez has been ostracised by other 🇪🇺 leaders for his past criticism of Trump. Will they listen to him now?

Feliz 2026 y gracias por todo vuestro apoyo !

We have been bringing the festive cheer to our friends at Natural England and the NFU in London recently – highlighting the continued badger cull. 240,000 badgers dead and nothing to show for it. It must end. Sign up to our newsletter for updates → wildjustice.org/newsletter

Asturias felicita las fiestas anunciando que desde Mayo ha matado 13 lobos 🐺, 7 de ellos cachorros < del año de edad sin dentición definitiva formada ni capacidad para depredar por si solos. ¿Esto es lo que llamáis controles "científicos, técnicos y selectivos" @adrianbarbon.bsky.social?

Our future food system will be very different. By design or by disaster. Much of the choice is ours If we get it right, everyone wins. Healthier diets and communities, more nature, higher productivity, stable(r) climate, etc... My speech: @nebriefing.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvjJ...

This. Crucial. Urgent.

So we have to conclude that sheep farming is a public subsidy-driven industry, not a market-driven industry, thus not subject to the whims of consumers?. And they have to be paid to do the "right thing" 🤔 because they don't care about destroying nature, as long as they have their subsidy? 🤔

H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus can remain infectious in refrigerated milk for over 5 months, according to Tokyo University research. The researchers hypothesized, "It's possible that fat, protein and other components in milk change during infection, potentially protecting the virus."

La presencia y participación de paisanos, aunque no vayan armados, colaborando con 13 Agentes del Principado en la batida que se ha desarrollado hoy en el Sellón (Asturies) es algo ilegal, indecente, y propio de la Edad Media. No te cabe ya ni un ápice de vergüenza @adrianbarbon.bsky.social

Hen Harrier found poisoned on a grouse moor in North Yorkshire. Once again, details have only come to light through scrutiny of a spreadsheet - where's the publicity from the Police? This is supposed to be a national wildlife crime priority! #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/12/01/h...

This excellent blog has reminded me of one of the famous quotes by F. Bastiat: "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it".

Yesterday we spoke to 100s of the UKs MPs, Peers, faith leaders, CEOs, and celebs for the first @nebriefing.bsky.social on the climate & nature crises. What happened needs to reach millions more, please sign this letter to the PM and media organisations: www.nebriefing.org/open-letter-... 🧵...

We attended the annual UK Wildlife Crime Enforcers conference this week & met some fantastic people working hard for wildlife. We also had a few interesting chats about potential new projects/partners...plans are already underway with some of them. We'll tell you more when we can!

To add to @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social's commentary, while Tyson agreed to halt its "climate friendly beef" in the suit settlement, there is still an open door: an expert would have to be agreed upon by all parties to allow "climate-friendly beef" or any similar climate-branded product to go to market

Boicot total a todos los productos de bovino, ovino y caprino de las comunidades que se regocijan en matar lobos: Asturias, Cantabria y Galicia. Que se hundan negocios familiares o no.

Appalling, illegal, unethical, disgusting. Oh, and in the midst of a severe outbreak of Avian Influenza #BirdFlu #H5N1 where free-range poultry are in mandatory lockdown to prevent viral spread. #Ornithology #UKBirding raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/11/12/s...

My latest, drawing from 100+ studies: iffs.earth/living-repor... Years in the making, I focus on the science behind the grazing side of regenerative agriculture, comparing it with a plant-based food system that enables large-scale rewilding.

Próximamente llegara a las librerías MATAR, la primera gran investigación que desnuda el entramado de poder, privilegios medievales y violencia que sostiene la caza en España y en Europa. Una red que ha manipulado durante décadas el relato sobre la naturaleza.

"Mutilar el monte para prevenir un presunto riesgo menor es tan disparatado como amputarse una pierna para evitar un esguince". Es peligroso tomar decisiones basadas en mitos que simplifican la complejidad para beneficiar al sector victimista agroganadero, el que siempre sale beneficiado.
