375,000 NATIVE ANIMALS KILLED by One Program in 2023

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's notorious program just put out its required tally of for last year: 375,045 native animals. The federal extermination program targets a long list of wild creatures, chiefly at the behest of interests in states like , and .

According to the report — which almost surely understates the actual numbers —

more than 300 , 68,000 , 400 , 200 , 400 , 2,000 red and gray , and 24,000 were intentionally killed in 2023.

"I'm horrified by both the sheer number of animals killed and the immense involved," said Collette Adkins, the Center's carnivore conservation director.

Two horses dead after today's Grand National events

Today we watched as two horses were killed in the Grand National races. Giovinco, in the first race of the day, and a second horse, Pikar, was then killed in the last race.

We are devastated, but we are not surprised. Despite rule changes, a massive PR campaign, and no pesky protesters on the track... Two horses have died and there is still another day to go. It's time for the Jockey Club to take accountability.

Over the last few days, we have been doing back-to-back interviews, continuing the public conversation that started last year. We already see a change of tone in the conversation: there is nothing to hide behind, the facts and cruelty are undeniable. In case you've missed any interviews, we'll upload them to our YouTube here as they happen.

Now, we are closer than ever to ending horse racing and building a better relationship with animals, not just in racing but across the board.

Giovinco and Pikar's deaths will not be in vain. Public opinion is shifting like a tidal wave. We need your urgent help by sharing the petition to Ban the Grand National as far as possible with family, friends and on social media. It might seem like a small step, but the end of this sport is inevitable; it is just a question of when.

Thank you for standing with us, for Giovinco, Pikar and all horses that have lost their lives to racing.

Please sign and share this petition calling for an end to the Grand National Horse Race.

Last year, Hill Sixteen died jumping over the first hurdle of the Grand National. His brutal death was broadcast live on television and watched by 600 million people. In 2024, this is the furthest thing from entertainment.

Two others, Envoy Special and Dark Raven, were also killed during the Grand National weekend.

Some facts about British horseracing:

• On average, a horse dies every other day on British racetracks.

• Sixty-eight horses have been killed at the Aintree track alone (in various races) since 2007.

• Horseracing is the only "sport" where animals are legally allowed to be beaten in public. An equine skin structure and nerve supply study showed that humans and horses feel roughly the same pain from being whipped.

• Until a rule change in 2022, horses who were not strong or fast enough to race were often sent to slaughterhouses. In 2021, half of all British and Irish horses that went to slaughter held racing industry passports.

• Last year's YouGov Poll showed that 54% of people think the Grand National is cruel to horses, while only 12% think it is not.

We are calling on you to cancel the Grand National, due to the harm caused and fatalities of the horses who are forced to take part. There is no place for animal use like this in 2024. Please cease the use of horses in the races.

Orpha Novita Yoshua is a young Indigenous Namblong woman from the Grime Nawa Valley in West Papua, Indonesia attending the Biodiversity COP15 in Montreal, Canada. The following is a letter she sent to Madame Secretary Elizabeth Maruma Mrema.

I am Orpha Novita Yoshua, a young Indigenous Namblong woman from the Grime Nawa Valley in West Papua, Indonesia. When you receive this letter, you receive it with a bag. This bag is a Noken;

the women in my community made it with love from Genemo trees. This bag is a symbol of a woman’s big heart, because you can put everything in there, and the bag will grow bigger and bigger.

Genemo trees, found in the Grime Nawa Valley, are essential to our community because we make food from the leaves, and use the bark to make twine, including for use in our customary Noken bags.

My family and the entire Namblong Indigenous People live in the Grime Nawa Valley.

There you will find the Ktu Mai Forest, home to many animals such as Cassowary, Maleo, and Lao Lao – a Papuan forest kangaroo. My island is a champion in terms of biodiversity – New Guinea has the most diverse flora in the world. Many of these provide us with food – we eat from the sago palm and many unique fruit and fig trees. These are also a source of food for animals.

Our customary land also has some of the best bird-watching in the archipelago at a place named Rhepang Muaif.

It is where people come from around the world to take pictures of our unique and beautiful birds of paradise – they are a symbol of the West Papuan people. This animal lives among our dense forest and flies upon feathers of gold in search of food, but when it wants to sleep, it will return to earth to rest.

There are also various types of trees, one of which is the sago palm tree, the staple food for the people in the Grime Nawa Valley.

Sago is a tree that grows even without knowing the season and continues to grow to this day. Between our forests and land, there are many springs which are the primary source of needs for the life of animals, trees, plants, and us everyday people.

Indigenous Peoples regard the forest as an inheritance given to our ancestors and passed down to us from generation to generation. The community divides the forest into a forest where we do gardening, a juvenile or former garden forest,

and a virgin forest, a forest considered sacred, a forbidden forest that no one is allowed to disturb.Unfortunately, the beauty and serenity of the Grime Nawa Valley has been rocked by illegal land clearing by palm oil company PT Permata Nusa Mandiri. The company, which is linked to one of Indonesia’s richest oligarchs, was granted a permit to convert over 16,000 hectares of Indigenous forest land, without the Free, Prior and Informed Consent of all Indigenous Peoples.

anna_lillith,
@anna_lillith@mas.to avatar

The government also handed the company an environmental permit without our agreement.

Indigenous Peoples of the Grime Nawa Valley have staged peaceful demonstrations to demand the government revoke all the company’s permits, because we never relinquished our land rights to the company. But to our outrage, the company has gone ahead and begun clearing our forest in the Grime Nawa Valley anyway – more than 100 hectares of forest has been destroyed already this year.

It is an unfair reality faced by the people in the Grime-Nawa Valley region. The central government doesn’t seem to care, even though it should protect all of its people from the greed of companies that drain Indonesia’s natural resources and only leave lasting suffering for Indigenous Peoples and damage to biodiversity.

My message is that the forests of the archipelago – Papua, Kalimantan and Sumatra – are crucial for conserving biodiversity and protecting the climate.

9/

anna_lillith,
@anna_lillith@mas.to avatar

Because when our forests are damaged, there will be a massive climate crisis, species like the birds of paradise will become extinct, and not just our Namblong Indigenous culture will be destroyed, but that of all peoples everywhere.

From one woman to another, I know that you have many powerful friends who can help us to save our forest and our home in Grime Nawa Valley.

Best regards,

Orpha

Facebook today tracks a staggering 3 billion people around the world. It spreads deadly disinformation at a scale never seen before. And it's essentially ruled by just one man.

What started as Mark Zuckerberg's student website in 2004, has morphed into one of the world's most dangerous corporations.

So this may sound naive ... but we could help fight Facebook simply by saying "STOP"!

Research shows kids and teens are routinely being targeted with ads pushing diet pills, skin whitening and dangerous plastic surgeries on Facebook and Instagram. Far-right politicians around the world love using Meta's powerful advertising tools to spread hate speech and false information. And Meta's recommendation algorithms behind Facebook and Instagram -- intended to keep us hooked so we'll see more ads -- are amplifying climate denial, racism, and division.

anna_lillith,
@anna_lillith@mas.to avatar

Meta says you can go ad-free for a monthly fee if you want, but it's the gigantic surveillance machine illegally processing our personal data that's the main problem, and the company's phoney new "pay-or-consent" offer does nothing to fix that.

Thanks for all that you do,
Vicky, Flora, Eoin and the team at Ekō
