  • They only used the notwithstanding clause to harm trans kids in Saskatchewan…

  • Unfortunately there is a legal requirement from a lot of countries that any new vaccine released for human use there must be trialed on non-human primates prior to human clinical trials, and that is what many of these monkeys are being used for. The best way to reduce or eliminate the use of primates in biomedical research is to pressure government health agencies to drop this requirement (and other testing requirements involving NHPs).

  • Yes, if there is no need to collect tissues or anything

  • Are we sure he’s not just gaming the stock market at the behest of the other rich parasites around him?

  • Is she an old girl? Not a lot of muscle on her butt

  • How, when you have no energy and time?

  • But how do we know humans are acting on an actual selfless decision and not instinctual behaviour? There is some evidence that, in some situations at least, our body/instinct can act first and we just end up rationalizing that we wanted to perform those actions to ourselves, as we are performing them. But that’s a bit of a thought experiment, the truth is, it’s very hard to know. And we can show empathy in very abstracted situations as well, where instinct is probably less of a factor.

  • Rats, not mice, the former being quite a bit smarter :) But is there any reason to assume our human empathy comes from a different base urge than theirs? If so, why can’t both situations share the term empathy?

  • Recovery - Rival Consoles

  • Haj seized

  • It looks like a bengal cat

  • Bombs Awat

  • Like yes, but, the actual hard part of aquarium fish keeping isn’t really related to the fish themselves. It’s the water… nature has already prepared this biologically active, clean, ample supply of water for the air dropped trout. Replicating that in a tiny glass box without at least a surface understanding of the chemistry involved can be very difficult. But you should also learn how to supply an animal with the proper environment before you get one.

  • No, for moose you are actually supposed to swerve and risk the ditch.

  • Literal raw produce gets recalled quite frequently too..

  • Both of those functions have been available via key fob for at least a decade, no internet required. Though yes the range on that can be limited.

  • I think one major difference is feathers - we have not had feathers show up in any mammalian mutations or evolutions that I know of. We went a different direction, with the fur and all. So even if fast tracking wings were possible I think that would involve some kind of fur covering and different adaptation for flight more akin to bats.

    Another major hiccup is - fast tracked uncontrolled evolution, aka genetic mutation, without the controls/failsafes (such as non-viable mutated animals dying out and failing to breed) just equates to cancer…

  • We mammals are pretty far (~65 million years) diverged from birds, so you’d probably be looking at more of a bat style wing or flying squirrel gliding skin mechanism than anything feathered.

  • In the last few decades yes probably

  • I’m sure the conservatives will continue trying to figure out a way to push it to withering and crumbling… they definitely tried to sell off/privatize chunks of them in the past but the level of outrage they were met with has put those ideas to bed for the time being

  • Is there no SPCA or other dog rescue in your area? Research them a bit and then notify one

    Requesting community !fossils

    The community !fossils was created over a month ago, no activity since. The creator/mod has had no activity on their account for the last month as well. I messaged them over a week ago to request to mod the community and got no response.

    This user is also parking several other empty communities which I am not personally interested in moderating, but may be nice to free them up for someone who is?

    Thanks!
