The only beings on Earth that need baby cow's milk are baby cows.

We have inherited a peculiar belief: that growth is always good. But ecological #rewilding tells a different story. medium.com/greener-toge...

Many #animal pairs express affection for each other. They also engage in food sharing or nuzzling behaviors, but whether they amount to smooching is anyone’s guess. Happy Valentine’s Day. www.cambridgeday.com/2026/02/09/d...

With another #snow event on the way for #Massachusetts, please consider the impact of de-icing on the #environment, especially street #trees, by minimizing your use of salt.

There are safer alternatives to poisoning our #environment with #rodenticides and harming #wildlife and sometimes even pets.
