I was not aware, till now, that we lost Kanzi, a bonobo in a research center. He passed at the age of 44, having learned to communicate. Kanzi even had the chance to play keyboards with Peter Gabriel.

Today's clip is something special, as it was originally produced for the short-lived Fediverse home of our sanctuary.

Many of the donkeys and mules in our care get to spend the summer at a nearby nature reserve.

This video shows two of them reunited with their friends.

It's underlaid with "Little Glitch", a track from Schall und Stille's debut album "The Drunken Fisherman".

Fish farming - a false economy

Salmon farming is a drop in the ocean of Scotland’s economy, 0.2 per cent according to the Scottish government, yet its impact is disproportionately devastating. This is not a sustainable homegrown industry, it is Scottish taxpayers subsidising foreign-owned corporations whose loyalty lies not with Scotland but their bottom line.

FUR INDUSTRY
Global Fur Production in Drastic Decline
by Katharina Buchholz | Feb 3, 2025

While output in producing countries has decreased recently due to the culling of animals as a precaution against the spread of the avian flu and Covid-19, #fur farming has been identified as an industry in crisis more generally. Some countries - mainly in #Europe - have recently ended their production entirely, citing #AnimalWelfare reasons.

American hunting enthusiast, Sam Jones filmed herself taking a defenceless baby wombat from the side of the road for photos.
The mother wombat was distressed, chasing after them to get her baby back while they laughed about it. The juvenile wombat was also distressed, hissing and calling back to the mother.

If anyone recognises her friend recording and enabling, please let us know. She posted the video to @samstrays_somewhere on Instagram but has since removed it.
