I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪

My first paper from my PhD is out! In it, I argue that viewing pigs as both resources (that feed) and as more-than-resources (to be fed) is crucial for understanding how nonhuman animals make nations and how, in turn, nations make nonhuman animals. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There are a number of things about animal farms, and chicken farms specifically, that make them especially susceptible to spreading avian flu.

In the United States, nearly all livestock animals are factory-farmed. Looking at data published by the USDA Census of Agriculture and the Environment Protection Agency, the Sentience Institute estimates that 99% of livestock in the U.S. were factory-farmed in 2022.

Through intentional campaigning, the meat and dairy industry pushes against one of the only effective actions an individual can take to curb climate change: diet. See Loredana Loy & CSSN Director Jennifer Jacquet's article in @climate-policy.bsky.social. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
