Some good news for animals in Colombia.

#ThrowbackThursday: 5 years ago this week, the Wild Animals and Circuses (Wales) Bill passed unanimously, banning the use of wild animals in circuses. After more than 100 years of animal suffering in circuses across Britain, Wales joined England & Scotland in ending the cruelty.

More than 500,000 wild animals are known to be involved in the tourism industry - many taken from the wild, kept in captivity, and trained and handled with physical violence, fear, and intimidation. Don’t be the reason they suffer this summer. #NoSelfiesPlease #BornToBeWild

US deports hundreds of Venezuelans "despite" court order. Meaning, of course: "in breach of". On the face of it, it looks like there is now a full constitutional crisis in United States, in that the executive is now freely ignoring court orders. Crisis point reached. www.bbc.com/news/article...
