UK APPROVES Lab-Grown MEAT for Dogs: A Game-Changer

18 July 2024 — British regulators have approved Meatly to sell lab-grown meat as dog food. This approval allows taste-test trials with dogs to begin, featuring proteins from cultivated chicken cells.

Owen Ensor, co-founder and CEO of Meatly, sees Brexit as an opportunity for the UK to lead in innovative solutions. He noted that the EU has been more conservative in regulation and criticized US food politics.

Meatly plans to license its technology to other firms in Britain, potentially paving the way for lab-grown meat for human consumption. The production process for both pet and human food would be similar.

Ensor highlighted that 20% of global meat consumption is by pets and aims to address ethical and sustainability challenges in this market. “We want to make this as available as possible,” he said.

UKRAINE WAR Survivor: Rare Black Bear’s Miraculous Journey to Safety in Scotland

12 January 2024 — In a surprising twist, Yampil, a rare black bear who survived the war in Ukraine, has found a new home in Scotland. Ukrainian troops discovered Yampil amidst the wreckage of a private zoo in Donetsk. The 12-year-old bear was among the few survivors when the zoo was bombed and abandoned.

Yampil’s journey to safety is nothing short of an epic odyssey. Soldiers found him during the Kharkiv counteroffensive in 2022. He was then moved to Kyiv for veterinary care and rehabilitation. His journey continued through Poland and Belgium before he finally arrived at his new Scottish home.

Yampil’s survival is deemed miraculous as he suffered from concussion due to nearby shelling while most other animals at the zoo perished from hunger, thirst or were hit by bullets or shrapnel. Yegor Yakovlev from Save Wild said that their fighters initially didn’t know how to help him but started seeking rescue options.

Yakovlev also leads White Rock Bear Shelter where Yampil recuperated before embarking on his European trek. The refugee bear arrived on January 12th, marking an end to his dangerous journey and providing hope amidst ongoing conflict.
