Should animals have rights? Should dogs and cats be able to sue you for not feeding them on time? Should farm animals be able to get an injunction to stop us eating them? There's a growing movement to recognise that many of our fellow creatures are sentient, feel pain and loss, and therefore, perhaps, should have legal rights. But how could this work? How would it change our lives? And where do we draw the line - fairness for fleas? Justice for microbes?

Hollywood tries to give a broad adaptation of Malory's Le Morte Darthur, and is fitfully successful--bright Technicolor and on-location filming doesn't make up for Robert Taylor's defiantly-American accent, and the bowdlerized romance between Lancelot and Guinevere doesn't exactly sizzle, but as a product of 1950s studio filmmaking, it could be worse. We'd like to than Patreon-supporter Stephen Cooke for providing us with a copy of the film.

It was quite the headline at SaltWire.com: ‘Exhilarating and slightly discombobulating': Removal of COVID-19 restrictions gets mixed reaction As The Chronicle Herald's Stephen Cooke wrote, "After Premier Tim Houston declared that “COVID zero is not a reality” and mapped out Nova Scotia's long journey down “the road to normalcy” opinions voiced online ranged from “too much, too soon” to “it's about time.” And for infectious disease expert and Dalhousie University scientist Dr. Lisa Barrett, there's concern that people will think this means the pandemic has ended and will abandon the protections that have served us so well in the last two years. She says that's definitely a concern and she answers some of the questions that people have about "living with COVID".
