    "The Bandero delivered a gentle but deliberate nudge to the stern of the Antarctic Sea, accompanied by a message: Stop despoiling the ecological integrity of the Southern Ocean...In recent years, several whales have been killed during krill fishing harvesting." >>

  12. "Don’t Like Eating Insects? Your Pet Might."

    "Could insect meal and lab-grown meat be a more sustainable, ethical way to feed our cats and dogs?"

    I've had cricket snacks. They're not bad. If they could show good nutritional value, not missing any nutrients, I would definitely see if my cat would like it.

    US pets consumer approx 25% of all animal derived calories in the country.

    And it would be an easier path to adoption.

  20. 2 #PetFood Companies Recalled by #FDA for Possible #Salmonella Contamination: What to Know

    #RawBistro Pet Fare and #Foodynamics are recalling multiple pet food products over a risk of salmonella contamination, the FDA announced.

    Oct. 21, 2025, 4:40 PM EDT / Source: TODAY
    Gina Vivinetto

    "Two popular pet food companies — Raw Bistro Pet Fare and Foodynamics — have issued voluntary recalls of multiple dog and cat food products over a risk of salmonella contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced earlier this month in separate press releases.

    Raw Bistro Pet Fare of Cannon Falls, Minnesota, issued a Oct. 10 recall of two sizes of its frozen beef dog food: "Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entrée, Frozen” in 3-pound bags and “Raw Bistro Dog Fare Grass-Fed Beef Entrée, Bulk, Frozen” in 18-pound cases.

    Meanwhile, Foodynamics of Wales, Wisconsin, issued an Oct. 9 recall of multiple varieties of its freeze dried pet treats sold under the brand names #RawDogBarkery, #BellePepperCats, #KanuPets and #WhatsInTheBowl.

    Both recalls come after FDA samplings of the products revealed the presence of salmonella. No adverse health effects have been reported in pets or humans to date, the FDA said.

    Read on to learn more about the recalls."

  21. Hello pet lovers! My name is Branden and Hydra is my dog. Maybe you have seen him around the fediverse. I am looking for support to help meet a $20 goal for dog food. It is completely voluntary if you want to give. It helps me a great deal because Hydra isn't AI, he eats real food.

  30. Alarm over reports of massive #krill catch in the Southern Ocean

    August 1, 2025

    #ASOC is calling on world governments to take urgent action

    Washington, 31 July 2025: "In response to a report by the Associated Press that the Antarctic krill fishery may have to imminently close due to an unprecedented high catch, the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC) is calling on world governments to take urgent action. The historic catch amount occurred due to the lapse of a key #conservation regulation requiring the fishery to distribute fishing over a larger geographic area.

    "Krill is at the base of the #FoodChain in Antarctica and increasing demand from companies seeking to sell fishmeal, #PetFood and #DietarySupplements has led to a spiraling increase in catch. International negotiations at CCAMLR, the body charged with conserving marine living resources in Antarctica, broke down last year, resulting in lowering of protections related to krill catch. This reduction in protection allows the entire krill quota to be caught in a very small area, increasing impacts to krill predators – #penguins, #seals, and #whales – that depend on krill to survive.

    "The next round of negotiations on these issues will be held in Australia in October. Scientific research has previously shown that krill predators are negatively affected by fishing at an even lower level of catch than was seen this year."

    this is the depressing truth about the 'pet' food industry. it's a massive contributor to climate change (& it's extremely brutal).
