[ad_1] Since people rarely see this unless they spend a lot of time with chickens, many people believe that chickens are incapable of flying. However, chickens, like most other birds, have feathered wings, and if their wings have not been damaged or have been deliberately altered by a farmer, they can use these feathered appendages to lift themselves off the ground.While this may seem unlikely due to their shape and size, chicken and other poultry can actually fly. Chicken “flying” is not what we usually think of when we say that birds fly, as chickens usually cannot fly very high,…

[ad_1] SOS stands for exploited mothersHer, not yours When you think about the worst ways to exploit people, animals, each other, and our planet, you should think about your cheesy pizza. The dairy industry is exploitative from start to finish: female cows are sexually abused, babies are torn from their mothers, our water and land are wasted, and an unhealthy product is produced.

[ad_1] Update: May 11, 2021It’s official: Shrisha Mysore’s experiments with owls at Johns Hopkins University are brutal and useless and, according to the Maryland agency, have been illegal for years.

Given this flagrant violation of state law, we called on the DPR to withdraw Mysore’s current permission to keep owls in its laboratory and to prevent it…
