Thank God! And there I was, about to wander aimlessly into the new year without a single defining tend to guide me. 🙏🏻😮💨

The Ocean Cleanup is now $40M/year short of what’s needed to stop up to 1/3rd of all plastic flowing into the oceans by 2030.
That’s less than 1% of what America spends on Halloween decorations each year.

I am begging the French to be nationalistic. We must preserve this level of polite contempt.

The man who would never turn the other way when an animal or child is in need now urgently needs the community to turn toward him and help fill the shelter’s empty bowls.

I’m not against robots but hate that people are referring to these ones as ‘dogs’.

A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

Worcestershire sauce is a fish sauce. The Lea & Perrins bottle reads distilled white vinegar, molasses, sugar, water, salt, onions, anchovies, garlic, cloves, tamarind extract, natural flavorings and chili pepper extract. The allergen line under it says contains anchovies.
The anchovies are salted and left to break down before they go in. Salt pulls the water out, and the fish enzymes digest the protein into amino acids. That's where the savory taste comes from, and it's the same process as a bottle of Thai fish sauce. Two chemists in Worcester, England mixed a batch in 1837, set it aside, and found 18 months later it had matured into something they could sell.
It's an easy one to miss if you're vegetarian or allergic to fish, because nothing on the front of the bottle says fish. Several brands make versions without anchovies and label them that way.
Agree.
Again, a fine wholly suspended for locking a leopard in a cage and leaving it to die of starvation and dehydration.
Our justice system is a bloody joke. I'm sorry, but this can no longer be tolerated.
Minister Aucump @willieaucamp1, we want the Animal Welfare Bill, with mandatory prison sentences, passed into law immediately!

A newly described iris, fish and stag beetle are among the species highlighted in the report. Twenty-five new nature reserves were declared. The riverine rabbit’s conservation status has been downlisted. These are just some of the wins from this report!

I cannot recommend @dotsure pet insurance enough. Worth every penny. The fuss-free claim process and prompt payment... Absolute breathe of fresh air. If you ever branch out to human health insurance, sign me up!

You didn’t know that you need to hear Olivia Colman reading this 1618 list of gentle demands from a lady to her husband. But you do.
This is just wonderful 🫶🏻😻 more please.
Florida has enacted one of the strongest animal protection laws in the nation. Convicted animal abusers are now permanently banned from adopting or purchasing any pets in the state.
Governor Ron DeSantis signed Dexter’s Law in May 2025, and it took effect on January 1, 2026. The legislation closes a dangerous loophole that previously allowed people convicted of animal cruelty to own pets again after serving their sentences.
The law is named after Dexter, a rescue dog who was tragically killed by his adopter — a case that exposed critical weaknesses in the system. To prevent future tragedies, the law also establishes a statewide registry of convicted animal abusers. Shelters, breeders, pet stores, and even members of the public can now check this database before placing an animal with a potential owner.
Offenders remain on the registry for up to ten years, giving organizations a powerful new tool to screen adopters and protect vulnerable animals.

If Border Collie Rescue doesn’t find a suitable home in the next few weeks, this could be the end of the organisation. Come on South Africa – the pups need us.
