in other news, cars are expensive.
(I'm currently awaiting scheduled maintenance and a few ad-hoc repairs on our trucky)
Which costs more, do you think, all-tolled, annually:
1 car (paid off but with insurance, fuel, maintenance, etc) - or -
2 horses (on property, but with vet/farrier etc)
- or -
2 camels (same as above except I don't think camels need farriers)? -

Camel with solar cells, Djibouti
Didn’t know where else to put this, but I felt the urge to share it when I saw it, and thought you slrpnk folks might get a kick out of it!

Speaking of pulp covers, a word of warning. If a man whips camels FOR A LIVING it might be worth trying to stay on his good side. He does have a good side, right? You hope:

Could the blood of camel species help save us from serious diseases? | DW Documentary
What’s known as #nanobodies from the blood of #camels are at the heart of a #medical revolution. Due to their special properties, these nanobodies can be used in a variety of ways, whether in the fight against #infectious diseases, in #cancer therapy or in the diagnosis of #Alzheimer's disease.
Small #antibodies with a big impact: camel blood contains #immunological superpowers. It all began in the 1990s with a chance #discovery at the Free #University of #Brussels: students used #dromedary blood in an experiment and came across previously unknown antibodies. The university #scientists discovered that these antibodies are present in all camel species. And, they have amazing properties. Small fragments can separate from the base of the antibody -- without causing any damage and while retaining their full binding capacity.
This was the discovery of the nanobody: a tiny, extremely robust #molecule which, due to its small size, can also penetrate areas too small to be targeted by complete antibodies. The nanobody, however, can attach itself with extremely high precision to pathogenic antigens.
This discovery triggered a wave of innovations and shook up the big #pharmaceutical companies. In 2018, the first drug based on nanobodies went on the market, designed to combat an autoimmune #blood clotting disorder. Numerous potential applications were developed within a very short space of time. Whether in the fight against cancer, in Alzheimer's diagnostics or to kill #pathogenic #bacteria - the success of camel antibodies has been so resounding that many #medical research centers now have their own herds of llamas or alpacas.
But why do members of the camel family in particular have such immunological superpowers? With the help of camel experts and microbiologists, the documentary sheds light on the surprising abilities of camels and the medical revolution of nanobodies.

I invite all people, #vegan, #vegetarian, #omnivore, that love animals and are against needless cruelty, to sign this petition which calls for an end to the live sheep export trade. It is truly ridiculous that a pet #dog or #cat is not allowed on the majority of cruise liners (perhaps there is a single exception or two out there and not counting for service dogs), to accompany you on a cruise, yet #sheep, #horses, #goats, #cattle #buffalo and #camels are perfectly able to travel thousands of kilometres in conditions one step above a shit hole, only to be slaughtered/killed in ways seriously suspect of Australias laws against animal abuse.
There is talk of ending the trade, specifically the live sheep export trade, but this petition by the #AnimalJusticeParty will go a long way in making that reality come so much sooner.
And of course money comes into the picture. Ending all 'livestock' export will result in a loss of $1.6 billion dollars to the Australian economy, the money which predominantly goes in rural communities. In addition to the ban of this export, alternatives need to be incorporated so that the community doesn't suffer.
https://www.animaljusticeparty.org/banliveexport
I do not normally ask this, but if you could boost this toot so that more people can sign this petition on behalf of all the sheep out there, that would be much appreciated. 🐑🐏
