投資者湧向動物福利倡議,推動創紀錄的捐款

2025年,参与动物福利倡议的公司股价大幅上涨,因为投资者和消费者开始优先考虑动物的福祉。泰国的Soi Dog基金会报告称,捐款增加了25%,其中大部分用于救助和康复流浪狗。基金会的执行董事Niamh Algar将捐款激增归因于人们对动物福利问题的日益增长的认识。“人们开始意识到,动物不仅仅是商品,而是值得我们同情和关怀的活着的生命,”Algar说。

在美国,美国人道协会(Humane Society of the United States)发起了一场全国性的运动,促进基于植物的饮食,重点减少动物农业对环境的影响。该运动包括一系列纪录片和社交媒体挑战,覆盖了超过1,000万人,并导致基于植物的食品销售增加了15%。“我们看到消费者行为的转变,更多的人选择基于植物的饮食,以便于他们自己的身体健康和地球的健康,”美国人道协会会长兼首席执行官Kitty Block说。

Kindred Guardians项目是一家为农场动物提供庇护的非营利组织,2025年其领养率增加了30%。该项目的创始人Jenny Brown将这一增长归因于人们对工厂化养殖的残忍的日益增长的认识。“人们开始意识到,动物不仅仅是产品,而是具有感情和需求的个体,”Brown说。

在动物研究领域,科学家在非侵入性测试方法方面取得了重大突破,减少了在制药开发中对动物测试的需求。国家卫生研究院报告称,2025年动物测试减少了20%,许多公司选择了替代方法。“我们看到一种转变,朝着更人道和有效的测试方法发展,这最终将为人类和动物带来更好的治疗方法,”国家卫生研究院院长Francis Collins博士说。

全球动物倡导运动在2025年也取得了显著的进展,世界各国通过了几项动物福利法。欧盟的欧洲议会通过了一项决议,呼吁结束在马戏团中使用野生动物的做法。在澳大利亚,政府提出了禁止在研究中使用活体动物的法案。“这些成就是草根活动和日益增长的公众对动物福利的需求的力量的见证,”动物福利研究所执行主任Alex Pacheco说。

当世界继续应对动物福利的复杂性时,专家预测2026年将会看到更大的进展。“我们看到公众舆论的转折点,越来越多的人要求改善动物的待遇,”著名动物福利专家Temple Grandin博士说。“这是一个令人兴奋的时刻,我们对动物的未来充满乐观。”

URGENT: Salamanders Defy Extreme Cold in Groundbreaking Discovery

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about blue-spotted salamanders, finding that they can remain active even when chilled below the normal freezing point of body fluids, a state known as "supercooled." This ability was observed in the wild at Bat Lake in Canada's Algonquin Provincial Park, where researchers spotted the amphibians on land despite the presence of ice and frozen conditions. This finding sheds new light on the adaptability of certain species and raises questions about the limits of life in extreme environments.

DEVELOPING: UK Campaigners Blocked from US Entry Amid Visa Denials

In a recent visa denial controversy, two UK campaigners, Imran Ahmed and Clare Melford, have been blocked from entering the US due to allegations of attempting to coerce American social media platforms into suppressing opposing viewpoints. The move, condemned by European leaders, is part of a broader US effort to counter what Secretary of State Marco Rubio calls a "global censorship-industrial complex." This development raises significant questions about the intersection of free speech, online regulation, and national sovereignty in the digital age.

正在发展:泽连斯基在乌克兰和平计划中推进非军事区

乌克兰总统沃洛季米尔·泽连斯基(Volodymyr Zelensky)推出了一个20点的和平计划,该计划提出在乌克兰东部建立非军事区或自由经济区作为解决冲突的潜在解决方案。该计划是在与美国谈判代表达成一致后提出,旨在获得来自美国、北约和欧洲的安全保证,并将要求在发生另一场俄罗斯入侵时采取协调的军事响应。这一发展标志着乌克兰立场的重大转变,因为该国此前反对从该地区撤出军队,并可能为谈判结束战争铺平道路。
