  1. Cruelty and the Atlantic salmon farming industry

    "Animal welfare claim launched against Tasmanian salmon industry by Animals Australia.If four million land animals — say cattle — died prematurely in this manner, there would be outrage. There would be regulatory intervention."

    "Animals Australia is also asking Biosecurity Tasmania to investigate alleged animal welfare breaches in relation to seals, dolphins, seabirds and other wildlife injured in the process of salmon farming. Seals, dolphins and water birds are dying as a result of the operation of this industry. Seabirds are being entangled in salmon farm infrastructure, and seals and dolphins are being shot at with pellets, in order for the industry to deter them from these sea pens."

  2. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    They were a rough lot indeed, as sailors mostly are: being men rooted out of all the kindly parts of life, and condemned to toss together on the rough seas, with masters no less cruel.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Novel (1886), Kidnapped, ch. 7 “I Go to Sea in the Brig Covenant of Dysart”

  3. “From a few comments on the internet you realize that the visitors were accompanied by a narrator to turn the visit into an experience. How many times are we in front of this situation? How many times are we told a story — by advertisements, in politics or in the media trying to convince us of what is the ‘truth,’ when in reality the truth is something different?”

    And this is how humanity has come to be ruled by dictators, scammers, and the super-rich.

  4. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    One of the worst features of the old spoils system was the ruthless cruelty and brutality it so often bred in the treatment of faithful public servants without political influence. Life is hard enough and cruel enough at best, and this is as true of public service as of private service. Under no system will it be possible to do away with all favoritism and brutality and meanness and malice. But at least we can try to minimize the exhibition of these qualities.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Autobiography, ch. 5 “Applied Idealism” (1913)

  10. #LizCheney said a “broad coalition” is forming to support #KamalaHarris. Appealing to people who might not see themselves as Democratic voters or even supporters of #Harris, #Cheney implores the crowd to “set aside #partisan battles to do what’s right for this country” & “reject the #depraved #cruelty of Donald #Trump.”
