1 yr after a WY man shocked the world by running over a wolf in his snowmobile, carrying her into a rural bar and letting friends snap selfies with her before killing her, state lawmakers are still refusing to ban "whacking" outright.

A majority of WY residents want to ban the practice.
Should Wyoming still permit 'whacking' after man paraded wounded wolf through local bar?
Under existing state law, it's legal to run down predators like coyotes and wolves in most of Wyoming. Legislators are considering a change.

Life for cows on these farms is all about one thing: milk.

Feed, housing, and impregnation follow a calculated plan to maximize output while cutting costs.

During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves.

Not ONE PERSON using #H5N1 #AvianFlu or #BirdFlu hashtags is even caring that millions of animals are being horribly killed.
