Iceland issues whaling permits until 2029, allowing 426 whales to be killed annually (209 fin & 217 minke).

A disgusting example of political favours and whales pay the price.

The new government of Iceland must investigate this decision when in office.

Neonicotinoid pesticides that harm bees were found in 85% of English waterways tested by the Environment Agency in the last year.

Under the influence of neonicotinoids, bees can struggle to fly, and "seem to bring back less pollen" to their hives.

This poem was inspired by the true story of Tahlequah, an Orca mother, who carried her dead baby for 17 days, for thousands of miles... evidence that animals do experience #grief.
