New animal welfare crisis at sea?
The Suez canal is still blocked after seven days, concerns on livestock vessels waiting closeby.
Concerns over the fate of animals transported via the Suez canal, after the Ever Given - one of the largest container ships in the world - ran aground. The cargo vessel has not been removed yet, and it is blocking the canal causing the world’s largest maritime traffic jam north and south of the Suez Canal.
Eurogroup for Animals and its members are concerned over the impact this accident is likely to have on live trade. Indeed, it seems that at least 6 livestock vessels are currently blocked in the canal.

Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna, the companies responsible for creating the COVID-19 vaccines, did some animal testing, as required by the FDA, but they by-passed what is normally a years-long process of animal studies. That process is nearly always a dead-end.

New technology allows us to map the movements of #animals in stunning detail. These seven #maps from Where the Animals Go offer a glimpse into the lives of animals trying to make their way in our increasingly #urbanised world
The #gulls who crave crisps
Gulls are well-known for scavenging on our leftovers, and it turns out they’re happy to fly long distances to do this. Many gulls from a Belgian breeding colony took excursions to cities in the UK, but researchers spotted that they also headed south to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 kilometres away where the birds were bingeing on discarded potatoes at the Roger & Roger crisp factory. Orange lines are from a gull named Eric, red are Roxanne and purple Harry. All other gulls are blue. Source: Lifewatch INBO

What happens to the environment when humans disappear? Thirty years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Reuters photographer Vasily Fedosenko documented booming populations of wolf, elk and other wildlife in the vast contaminated zone in Belarus and Ukraine. On April 26, 1986, a botched test at the nuclear plant in Ukraine, then a Soviet republic, sent clouds of smouldering #radioactive material across large swathes of Europe. Over 100,000 people had to abandon the area permanently, leaving native #animals the sole occupants of a cross-border “exclusion zone” roughly the size of Luxembourg.—By Reuters

Scientists have created a new map of places most at risk of an Ebola outbreak and say regions likely to be home to animals harbouring the virus are more widespread than previously feared, particularly in West Africa.
(...) jumps by viruses from animals to humans are known as “zoonotic events” and were the cause of major human disease outbreaks such as HIV and the H1N1 swine flu pandemic.
The new map (...) found that large swathes of central Africa as well as the western part of the continent have traits of what the scientists called “the zoonotic niche” for Ebola.
