La Journée mondiale des intelligences animales a lieu le samedi 8 février 2025 à la Cité des sciences et de l'industrie à Paris. À cette occasion, BSG rediffuse une série originale de Combats sur les prodigieuses intelligences - ignorées voire déniées - des animaux de la ferme. Les animaux domestiques qui nous entourent sont en effet "assiette" ou "canapé". Loin des minous et des médors de nos canapés quasiment considérés comme des membres de la famille, les "animaux de rente" destinés à nos assiettes sont avant tout exploités pour rapporter des pépètes. Leur intelligence et leur fameuse "sentience" n'intéressent presque personne. "Il a un regard bovin !", "Il a joué comme une chèvre !", "Quels moutons ces gens…", "Elle a le QI d'une poule - ou d'une huître", "Tu manges comme un cochon !"… Ces expressions sont révélatrices de l'image que l'on a en général des animaux de la ferme : placides, idiots, chosifiés. Les récentes découvertes scientifiques révèlent au contraire un riche univers cognitif et émotionnel. Les poules sont des mathématiciennes et des enseignantes hors pair, les chèvres des aventurières joueuses et malines, les moutons de fins herboristes , les cochons d'excellents cartographes et les vaches des championnes des réseaux sociaux !_______

The digestive systems of herbivores and carnivores tells a lot about what each are meant to eat. Humans model carnivore digestion patterns. Digestive systems of herbivores vs. carnivores I began researching equine digestion to check a hunch that my elderly pony had an ulcer.  She was biting her sides and seemed uncomfortable. In learning her non-human digestive system, several points became clear.   Some creatures are born to be vegetarians, and some are not. Should humans be vegetarians? Looking at differences in digestion may help answer that question.    Full Episode Description

This latest “bite sized” short podcast takes a look at summer crop establishment in New Zealand, including a detailed look at the tiny (unwanted) herbivores that eat forage crops. Charlotte Westwood chats with PGG Wrightson Seeds agronomy guru Greg Zeuren to hear about the successful establishment of spring planted summer forage crops in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand. In a down to earth, practical manner, Greg scene sets around deciding between direct drill or cultivation as approaches to crop establishment, discusses spray out and the importance of rolling crop areas post-planting, before moving on to managing risk of slug and insect pest pressure in newly established chicory, brassica, lucerne and other “small seed” forage crops. Throughout the podcast, you'll learn handy tips and tricks to help grow forage crops as a summer feed for our ruminants. Slugs enjoy Weetbix, really Greg?? Absolutely! Finally, we'll learn that if we're not proactively monitoring our crops, there won't be any forage crop left for our ruminants to eat this summer. We hope that you enjoy our latest podcast.

Patrick Finnerty: Plant odour enables patch choice by mammalian herbivores from afar

Amelia Macho chats to Functional Ecology author Patrick Finnerty about his recently published research article "Odour information enables patch choice by mammalian herbivores from afar, leading to predictable plant associational effects". The team demonstrated that elephants can make patch choice decisions from afar using plant odour cues alone, and that these decisions lead to predictable associational effects on the susceptibility of high-quality focal plants to be being eaten. They also used a new method to reduce an entire complex odour profile of a low-quality plant species and reproduce this odour information artificially. This simplified odour set was as effective as real low-quality neighbours in shaping elephant patch choice and subsequently providing associational refuge to the focal plant. This research could offer a new tool to influence herbivore foraging decisions, with implications for wildlife management and conservation, including plant protection.

In today's episode, you will learn a series of vocabulary words that are connected to a specific topic. This lesson will help you improve your ability to speak English fluently about a specific topic. It will also help you feel more confident in your English abilities.5 Vocabulary Words Related to the topicHabitat (noun): The natural environment in which a particular species of animal, plant, or organism lives and thrives. Example sentences: Deforestation threatens the habitat of many endangered species.Polar bears depend on Arctic Sea ice for their habitat and hunting grounds.Conservation efforts aim to preserve and restore diverse habitats around the world.Carnivore (noun): An animal that primarily eats meat as its main source of nutrition.Example sentences: Lions are well-known carnivores, preying on a variety of animals in the savanna.Domestic cats are obligate carnivores, requiring a diet rich in animal protein.Polar bears are powerful carnivores adapted to hunting seals in icy waters.Herbivore (noun): An animal that primarily eats plants as its main source of nutrition.Example sentences: Deer are herbivores, grazing on grasses and vegetation in forests and meadows.Elephants are large herbivores that consume vast quantities of leaves, grasses, and fruits.Rabbits are small herbivores that feed on a variety of greens and vegetables.Migration (noun): The seasonal movement of animals from one region to another, often in search of food, breeding grounds, or favorable climate conditions. Example sentences: Birds undertake long-distance migrations each year, traveling thousands of miles between breeding and wintering grounds.Salmon migrate from the ocean to freshwater rivers and streams to spawn, completing their life cycle.Wildebeest undertake one of the largest land migrations in the world, crossing the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing lands.Camouflage (noun): The natural coloring or pattern of an animal's skin, fur, or feathers that allows it to blend in with its surroundings, providing protection from predators or aiding in hunting. Example sentences: The snow leopard's spotted coat provides excellent camouflage in its mountainous habitat, making it difficult to spot against rocky terrain.The stick insect's body resembles a twig, providing effective camouflage against tree bark and branches.Chameleons can change their skin color to match their surroundings, using camouflage to evade predators and ambush prey.A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary wordsThe animal kingdom thrives on a remarkable diversity of adaptations. Some creatures, like the chameleon, utilize camouflage to blend seamlessly into their habitat, becoming invisible predators or avoiding hungry eyes themselves. Others, like the wildebeest, embark on epic migrations, following the changing seasons and ensuring access to food. Herbivores, like zebras, consume only plant matter, while carnivores, like lions, rely on hunting other animals for sustenance. Each species has evolved unique strategies to survive and thrive within their specific habitat, whether it be the vast savanna, the dense rainforest canopy, or the icy depths of the ocean.If you want to sign up for the free daily English vocabulary newsletter, go towww.dailyenglishvocabulary.com

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation with Daniel Firth Griffith, a pioneer in regenerative agriculture, as we explore his unconventional methods and philosophies that challenge traditional practices. Reflecting on his first appearance in Episode 17 and discussing his latest book, "Stagtine," Daniel shares his evolution beyond regenerative practices. Influenced by Fred Provenza's "Nourishment," Daniel advocates for minimal pressure grazing, allowing cattle to naturally find necessary minerals, and posing questions rather than offering a step-by-step guide. I also share some personal updates, including the acquisition of a Border Collie puppy and experimenting with laser engraving ear tags for the farm.Listen in as we discuss the philosophy of rewilding and rethinking our relationship with nature, especially in the context of modern agriculture and regenerative farming. We introduce the concept of "Kincentric Rewilding," which emphasizes kinship with all life forms and the cyclical nature of life and death. The conversation moves from traditional rotational grazing methods to a more harmonious and less controlled interaction with livestock, questioning how animals might guide us if given more autonomy. This shift aims to foster a management approach rooted in humility and partnership with nature.Discover the natural wisdom of herbivores and their ability to adapt phenotypically to their environment without human intervention. Daniel highlights the importance of allowing animals to self-medicate by selecting the plants they need, a practice often overlooked in conventional farming. We touch on broader concepts of biodiversity and question traditional notions of control in farming, suggesting that true natural farming requires a release of control. This episode also revisits foundational questions posed to all guests, focusing on favorite grazing-related books, farm tools, and philosophical reflections on land stewardship, offering listeners valuable insights and a fresh perspective on sustainable agriculture.Links Mentioned in the Episode:Daniel Firth GriffithTimshel WildlandVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteKencove Farm Fence

The Mystery of Human Suffering

Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?St. Thomas Aquinas when answering the question of whether God exists brings forward two objections. The second objection says that everything we see in the natural world can be explained by nature or by human reason; therefore, we do not need to suppose God's existence. To this objection, St. Thomas says that we can trace back what is done in nature back to the first cause, which must be an immovable and self-necessary first principle, which we call God. He then references his Five Ways which are converging and convincing arguments to demonstrate God's existence. For the remainder of today, I would like to focus on the first objection that St. Thomas raises to God's existence. If you are unfamiliar with the disputed question format used by St. Thomas in the Summa and in many other scholastic works, it goes like this. There are objections posed, then a section where a brief response is given beginning with “on the contrary.” Then the main teaching is delivered in the “I answer that” section and is followed by the specific responses given for the objection posed at the beginning of the article.  For the first objection to God's existence, St. Thomas puts it this way:“It seems that God does not exist; because if one of two contraries be infinite, the other would be altogether destroyed. But the word ‘God' means that He is infinite goodness. If, therefore, God existed, there would be no evil discoverable; but there is evil in the world. Therefore God does not exist (ST I, q.2, a.3).”Of course, this is an argument, not a slam dunk. God does exist and He is goodness itself. But can you feel the weight of the argument? If God is infinitely good, then why is there evil? In other words, why do bad things happen to good people?Here on Earth, there is no sufficient answer to this argument. How can there be, really? We see evil happen and sometimes the human suffering which results is so extreme that no justice seems to ever come to fruition. Or perhaps it is not moral evil but physical evil. Why do children develop horrifically painful diseases? Why do mothers and fathers lose their children to miscarriage and stillbirth? In the goodness of creation, why are there devastating natural disasters that cause widespread death, destruction, and catastrophe? The Problem of EvilThis so-called “Problem of Evil” has plagued philosophers, theologians, and ethicists for millennia. The presence of evil and suffering in the world is the strongest argument against an omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscient God. The logical formulation of the problem of evil is laid out in Aquinas' objection, and we will get to the response to this objection a bit later on. The evidential formulation, on the other hand, is the one that packs the biggest punch because we can see gratuitous evil, pain, suffering, and misery. No one needs proof that evil exists; we need look no further than our own sins or the sins of those around us to show its existence. The reason that the evidence of evil is so powerful is not based on its logical intricacies but because of emotion. The natural human response to suffering, pain, blatant evil, and injustice is repulsion. We have a visceral, subconscious reaction to the evil that we encounter. And we wonder: how could God allow this? I imagine that if you have never asked this question, “how could God allow this?” then you are fortunate enough to have not suffered a real trauma. I want to share a time of suffering in my own life to begin to show how we can handle inevitable sufferings when they come. My wife and I suffered a miscarriage a few years ago, and I did not know how to process it. I did not allow myself to recognize and feel my feelings. And after a few months, I realized that I was very angry with God and was depressed and despairing. How could He do this to me and to my wife? What did I do wrong? It was horrendous. I still have a profoundly vivid memory of lowering my son Gabriel's little casket into a hole in the ground. It was truly awful and unnatural. I know that my wife and I desired Baptism for him and I believe firmly that he is in Heaven interceding for us. But I wanted to hold him. I wanted to get to know him here on Earth and watch him grow like my other boys. Yet, it was not to be. Since then, we suffered another miscarriage but this time I felt my feelings a bit more intentionally. I talked about the experience with friends and my priest. I grieved. I wept. I prayed. But I did not despair this time. What was different? Most recently, I experienced the same emotions but I recognized and gave them over to Jesus, as best as I could muster. I aimed to unite my suffering with His Cross in a more profound way than a few years ago. The suffering was imminently present, but by grace I was able to abandon myself more to Providence, I suppose. My response of faith and abandonment to Divine Providence was not perfect but I am positive that I grew over these last years. So, when suffering, pain, and evil come, and they will, and we ask “how could God allow this?”, what is our response? Before we get more into the response to the problem of evil, I want to look at what evil actually is. That way, we can better recognize it and even avoid it, to some extent. What is Evil? The Catholic Encyclopedia teaches that there are three kinds of evil: physical, moral, and metaphysical. Physical evil arises from nature and includes sickness, accident, death, anxiety, disappointment, disabilities, and imperfections in regards to the full development of human powers. Moral evil is the “deviation of human volition from the prescriptions of the moral order and the action which results from that deviation (Catholic Encyclopedia).” These are intentional acts which transgress against the precepts of the Catholic religion or of the nature of the human person, generally. Metaphysical evil is the mutual limitation of various parts of the natural world. The climate and natural causes adversely affect plants and animals. Predators rely on the destruction of life to remain alive themselves. The constituent parts of nature also have a system of perpetual decay and renewal. This type of “evil” is really more a relative perfection rather than an imperfection because creation was designed, as it is, by God.In all cases, evil is negative, not positive. Evil consists in the loss or deprivation of something necessary for perfection. Pain has a disturbing effect on the sufferer and is, thus, a physical evil. Moral evil is evil because we are using reason improperly to choose a lesser good or neglect a higher good.Some argue that evil does not actually exist. Instead it is merely a “lesser good” in place of a higher good that ought to be. It is an imperfection where perfection ought to be. It is a hole where there ought to be a whole. But our human experience points to a more complicated reality. What we can be sure of, though, is that God did not create evil nor does he cause evil. Nothing is evil in itself, but is evil in relation to other things or persons. The same fire which burns and destroys gives life-giving light and heat. The same water which drowns gives life and nourishment. The same free will which chooses evil has the capacity to choose good. Perfect vs. Permissive Will of GodGod is perfect. He does not suffer any defect of weakness or change. He does not change His mind. If He could change, then He would simply not be God. In His wisdom, He created all things visible and invisible with the Divine foreknowledge that His creatures, namely humanity and some of the angels, would spurn Him. This is a mystery. He had no need to create anything, but He did so to manifest His goodness, wisdom, power, and love.One of the important distinctions to draw at this juncture is the difference between God's permissive will and His perfect will. Simply put: God has a perfect will. Another, admittedly imperfect, way to phrase this would be His “original plan.” The perfect will of God for humanity consisted of a desire for Adam and Eve to follow his indicative will. The indicative will of God is what He wants and how He wants it, perfectly. We see this indicative will for Adam and Eve in Genesis. He told them not to “eat the fruit of ‘the tree of the knowledge of good and evil' (Gen. 2:17).” When Adam and Eve disobeyed sin, entered the world, along with the consequences of sin: suffering, pain, and death. Human suffering was not part of God's original plan. In giving humanity free will, God permitted, or allowed, evil to enter the world. His free creatures, made in His image and likeness, rebel against His indicative and perfect will and commit evils. These are not within the perfect will of God; they belong tacitly to the permissive will of God. And He alone has the long-view. Only He knows the end of the story. And He assures us that His justice will come to full fruition in the end.What is the Response to the Problem?We should recall the great diversity of metaphysical evil which comes together to embody the universe as a whole. Stars explode and go supernova. Matter is sometimes transformed in violent and destructive ways. Predators eat other animals. Herbivores eat, and therefore destroy, plants. These relative perfections are not imperfections. Then, we stop to think about physical evils which befall mankind: sickness, plague, death, anxiety, and the like. And we know that human suffering often comes from true moral evil. The world and its inhabitants seem far from what might approximate perfection.Frankly, this is where human reason hits an insurmountable roadblock. No ideology, school of thought, or religion can sufficiently speculate about the order of nature. Though we cannot know with human intelligence the full understanding of this mystery, we can be assured that God is completely justified. We can experience suffering and pain and wonder why it is happening while simultaneously acknowledging that God, in His perfect goodness, knowledge, and power, does know. Not only does He know, but He also fully cares. The response to the Problem of Evil is not logically satisfying because it is a mystery with no earthly solution. But as St. Thomas More said, “Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.” The Catholic Faith as a whole gives the only satisfactory response to the Problem of Evil, even if it is not emotionally satisfying when we are in the thick of it. And this response is not an “easy answer.” It is not a quick response which puts the problem to rest. Instead, the response to the problem of evil bears fruit in prolonged contemplation, the practice of trust, faith, hope, love, prayer, study, and only with God's grace. Let us return to St. Thomas Aquinas' exploration of the objection to the existence of God based on the problem of evil. He responds this way, quoting St. Augustine:“As Augustine says (Enchiridion xi): ‘Since God is the highest good, He would not allow any evil to exist in His works, unless His omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.' This is part of the infinite goodness of God, that He should allow evil to exist, and out of it produce good (ST I, q.2, a.3).”Like I said, it is not an emotionally satisfying answer. We long for justice and peace. And we want it now. In our fallen world, it can be easy to give in to despair. But we are called to trust in the infinite goodness of God. If He allows evil to exist, then He will produce a good out of it, though we may not see it in this lifetime. If He allows evil to exist, then His justice will be made perfect in the end. As St. Paul teaches us:“We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28).”Redemptive SufferingAnd as I have already mentioned: God not only knows of our suffering but He also fully cares. We can see this on full display in the apparent triumph of evil, pain, and suffering on Good Friday. On the Cross, the Son of God died for love of you and me. If we were there on Calvary's hill, we would be justified to some extent to question God's wisdom or His omnipotence. For the Apostles, this dark day seemed like the end. How could a good possibly come from all this suffering, misery, and death? Even the demons thought that they had won a great victory. But the story did not end on Friday. On Easter Sunday, Jesus Christ burst forth from the tomb, the one who died who dies no more. Our God knows the way through suffering and death to eternal life.As the Catechism puts it: “By his passion and death on the cross Christ has given a new meaning to suffering: it can henceforth configure us to him and unite us with his redemptive passion (CCC 1505).” In moments of affliction, suffering, and pain, we can offer these experiences as prayers when we unite them to the perfect Cross of Christ. Our sufferings then are transformed into grace for ourselves and others. We can “offer up” our sufferings for others, and it can even bring us spiritual healing and peace. Taking the Long PerspectiveHuman suffering is real and persistent. We all suffer. In this valley of the shadow of death, we do not see the full picture. In our limited human perspective, we do not even always see the good that God works in spite of evil. Nonetheless, the merits of Christ on the Cross continue to flow as grace to us through the Sacraments. And so, we hold fast to the truth of the Catholic Faith. We trust in God, especially in the darkest times. Through consistent prayer and cooperation with grace, we intentionally unite our sufferings to the Cross and conform ourselves to the Savior. We rely on the intercession of the sorrowful and immaculate Heart of Mary who was pierced by accompanying her holy Son on the way of His Passion.May we contemplate and, by God's grace, eventually adopt the perspective of the great St. Teresa of Avila who said that:“In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.” This does not downplay the real pain of human suffering. But it helps us enter into the eternal viewpoint of Almighty Good, who knows and cares. Will Wright Catholic Podcast is a reader-supported publication.

With childhood obesity reaching epidemic proportions, our guest today, Dr. Leigh Ettinger, aka Dr. Herbivore, is a pediatric nephrologist who has seen firsthand the benefits of a plant-based diet for children. Dr. Ettinger is board certified in General Pediatrics and received his medical degree from Tufts University. He also received his certificate in plant-based nutrition from eCornell in 2016, and in 2019 he became a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. He has a telemedicine practice in New York and New Jersey, where he encourages a plant-centric diet and empowers families to embrace a healthier lifestyle. With so much to unpack regarding weight management and nutrition optimization in children, it's an honor to have him here with us today so that we can pick his brain!  “By having the people fill up on whole plants, then they're not hungry. They don't hopefully feel the need to eat in secret, or they're not reaching with a craving for something if they're filling up on starches. I'm a big fan of Dr. McDougall's The Starch Solution, so, potatoes and bananas especially. I had one dad call me up once, he wasn't in the visit, and he called me up a week after I'd seen his teenage boy, and he asked ‘what are you doing? Why is my son eating all these bananas? He's eating seven bananas a day.' I replied ‘oh, oh really, that's great. What's your concern?' He said ‘it just seems like a lot of bananas. What's he doing with all those bananas?' I replied ‘well, how's he doing?' He confessed, ‘well, he lost ten pounds.'” - Dr. Leigh Ettinger   What we discuss in this episode: The reason he chose to become a pediatric nephrologist Why he prefers the term “herbivore” over “vegan” How he treats obesity in children The root cause of childhood obesity and why he recommends a plant-based diet The differences between being overweight and obese The risk factors that accompany obesity in children and teenagers How he guides and educates families regarding diet The benefits of telemedicine appointments Resources: Website: Doctor Herbivore Plant-based chef Rebecca Carucci: Powered by Plants Consulting Fitness expert Danielle Medina: Fitnplaymama The Plant-based Playbook IS HERE! Let the Plant-based Games Begin, the first-ever guidebook dedicated to optimizing athletic performance with plant-based fuel. We developed the Playbook in consultation with the IOC's Office of Sustainability to help coaches, dietitians, and athletes understand how to embrace plant-based nutrition. Researched and written by a diverse group of highly credentialed researchers, clinicians, and athletes, the Playbook leverages peer-reviewed science and real-world experience to illuminate the physiological benefits of a plant-based diet. The Playbook also includes robust, field-tested tools and resources for meal planning and other practical implementation techniques.  You can download the Playbook here: https://switch4good.org/plant-based-playbook/ SUPPORT SWITCH4GOOD https://switch4good.org/support-us/ ★☆★ JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP ★☆★  https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat ★☆★ SWITCH4GOOD WEBSITE ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/ ★☆★ ONLINE STORE ★☆★ https://shop.switch4good.org/shop/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM ★☆★ https://www.instagram.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ★☆★ https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON TWITTER ★☆★ https://mobile.twitter.com/Switch4GoodNFT ★☆★ DOWNLOAD THE ABILLION APP ★☆★ https://app.abillion.com/users/switch4good

British iguanodontids with Joe Bonsor We have touched on Iguanodon before as one of the earliest named dinosaurs and an animal with some interesting relatives and famously spiky thumbs but they never really got the attention that they should have done (from us at least). Enter Joe Bonsor who is finishing off his PhD on these very animals and trying to sort out the utter mess that is the taxonomy of the iguanodontians in the UK. We dive into this with some surprising conclusions and interesting news about what Joe has found (no spoilers, you'll have to listen) and we go through some of the earliest dinosaur history and give some well-deserved coverage of the great Gideon Mantell.
