Chu et al. (urls.fr/Yeo6-K) estimate that cats kill ~60 million birds per year in Canada (possibly up to 197 M). Outdoor cats pose a serious risk to native birds. Potential responses include bylaws, education, social engagement, and trap-neuter-release programs. Think about it if you own a cat 🧪🌿🌎🦉🦊

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

Well good. The less we hear from Farage, the better.
I wonder whether he’ll also boycott LBC if/when I ask exactly the same question about him…
Nigel Farage has gone to war with the BBC after a radio presenter suggested he had “a relationship when he was younger with Hitler,” vowing he would not speak to the national broadcaster until it apologized for its own past “racist” content.
