What are the psychological, and cumulative, effects of the countless meat, egg & dairy ads we see every day? In our blog for Common Cause Foundation we look at what the proliferation of meat advertising in our public spaces says about our culture, and how we are encouraged to relate to animals, and each other. We explore how ending advertising for the products of the oppressive factory farming system can bring wider benefits for society. https://lnkd.in/eM8Cu3U3

Another study (in Montana!) validating that wolves and grizzly bears do not cause the numbers of livestock losses that they are blamed for. Yes, predation/depredation events do happen but these numbers are negligible at best. If there is proof that the losses are from predators, livestock producers are compensated. This study also shows that coexistence with predators can be achieved. If we are talking numbers, hunters kill far more game animals than predators. Predator kills on animals such as elk and other deer species are compensatory at best.

THE ARRIVAL OF SPOTTED LANTERNFLY: TIPS FOR ILLINOIS FARMERS Spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive species that was detected for the first time in Illinois in 2023. It is a nuisance pest as well as an agricultural pest. While the full extent of its effects are not known, farmers need to be informed about monitoring and management of this invasive pest. This past week's farmdoc daily webinar took an in-depth look at SLF biology, behavior, and research-based control methods — such as manual removal and insecticides — to help farmers make a plan for protecting their operations. https://lnkd.in/g5RVxZm5
