Given that a meat diet necessitates cruelty, the lesser harm is always going to be a plant based diet, the burden of proof should be reversed.

In the majority of cases, its still going to be stuck under a mangled car that you cant move because it is on fire. A better solution might be to route multiple 'flood tubes' to the battery compartment and place them in easy accessible places. That way you would just need to pop pff an access panel and hook up a hose.

I wouldnt advise it. You tend to end up with a 'gloopy' rather than 'thick' consistency.

I wish that more effort would go into developing sterilisation methods, rather than killing these animals.

While invasive species are often harmful to the natural ecosystem by outcompeting or killing natives, the individual rat or possum has no more choice in where they were born than you or I. Why should they have to die for the mistakes of the humans five generations removed who brought their ancestors here?

"Zen" by addiction foods seems to be the winner among my lot. Not sure how easy it is to get outside of NZ though.

My dogs eat plant-based kibble, and have no issues whatsoever. Much like yours, all of mine were rescues, and their condition improved noticeably after we brought them home.

I attribute it to their escape from abuse and neglect rather than any part of their diet.

Counterpoint to that, the guy had a known history of locking himself inside those things and trying to escape as a challenge.

The kīngitanga movement arose generally out of opposition to european expansion. Groups of Māori determined that if they could unite the disparate tribes under a single leader they would have more power to resist the british.

It only dates back to the 1800s and doesnt have the support of all tribes, but much like the european monarchs they are effectively just soft power figureheads.

...don't all nutritional labels do this? Is it not a legal requirement basically everywhere?

The internet banking portal for one of my banks forces a monthly password reset. As a result it is the only bank account for which i have the password saved in my browser, instead of being a nice long memorable phrase that lives only in my head.

Starts off as a caving blog then pivots into a mystery that keeps you wondering if it was real.

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.
