My team at Duke has spent almost a decade studying the pros & cons of health aid, which has undoubtedly saved millions of live but has down sides. We have a policy paper out soon on the topic.

"Einen rationalen Grund, die Spinnen aus der Wohnung verbannen zu wollen, gibt es eigentlich nicht, immerhin befreien sie ihre humanoiden Mitbewohner von Fruchtfliegen, Trauermücken, Motten und anderen Schädlingen, wie der nachts im Schlafzimmer beharrlich summenden, aber nie totzukriegenden Mücke."
Wenn es kälter wird, scheinen Spinnen vermehrt in die Häuser und Wohnung zu kommen, wo sie bei einigen Menschen Hektik auslösen. Die rücken ihnen dann oft mit einem Staubsauger zu Leibe. Viele fragen sich: Bleiben die Spinnen im Beutel oder können sie wieder entkommen?

With the atrocities happening in Sudan, it's worth remembering this about the region:
'Many scholars consider the violence in Darfur to be the result of the region being one of the first "climate change conflicts" given the rising tensions over land and water resources between ethnic groups.'

Have a great World Vegan Day, y'all! 🥬
In places where it's possible, not consuming animal products means less suffering. 🙏
Our world is in dire need of more empathy and less cruelty.
Veganism can also help restoring our over-exploited earth, since the production of plants requires less land! 👍
