One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

January 11th: From the archives: On this day! Whatever the provenance of the Cornish Booted Eagle in November 1999 (twitched it!) didn't stop me twitching it again when it reappeared at CVLake, Somerset in January 2000. 😁 📸 Apologies, I can't recall who took these but many thanks! 👍🏻 #UKbirding

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! Found this beautiful Hercules Moth in far north Queensland. #wildoz #wildlife #nature #biodiversity #insects

There will be so many more unless humans do something about it urgently. Even then it will be too late for many. Wildlife crime laws need to be made much stronger & the penalties far more draconian. Current judicial systems do not treat wildlife crime as being serious crime, whatever they say.

TV presenter Phil Spencer blocked us before for sharing this image, so we’re here to remind everyone that he takes pleasure in killing animals. He’d probably hate it if you shared this again.
