Actually, the third. I've detested Neeson since he defended the carriage horse industry in NYC in 2013(ish), a good 6 years before he came out as racist. Now he's anti-vax. Ugh
Wild that this is only the second most objectionable thing Liam Neeson has done in recent years.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.
In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

23-yr-old @zoerosenberg.bsky.social has been sentenced to jail for rescuing 4 sick chickens from a slaughterhouse. The corporation responsible, Perdue, faces no consequences.
When compassion is criminalized & cruelty is normalized, our legal system is failing animals.

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

12 is young; babies having babies. More to the point, absolutely no conservation value, another baby condemned to lead a deprived life and likely die prematurely. Tragic.
One of the National Zoo’s Asian elephants is pregnant and could give birth within the next few months, potentially bringing the zoo its first elephant calf in 25 years.
