Breaking News: Rats Have Rythm

Researchers have discovered that rats have rhythm and like music. See article below:

Rats have rhythm like humans and like music like Lady Gaga, Queen: Study (nypost.com)

I don't know what to think about this.

On the one hand, it seems like yet another useless and cruel animal-studies project in which they keep animals in cages to prove something that I don't care about and don't need to know. I hope this study was not funded by our tax dollars.

On the second hand, perhaps, maybe, possibly, it will help humans who read this article understand that there is more going on with rats (and other non-human animals) than they realized. I suspect everyone reading this post already knew this.

On the third hand, why don't they just release these rats into their natural habitat (i.e., the NYC Subway System) and then they can watch them dance and sing along with the hundreds of buskers playing music on the subway platforms?

As I said, I don't know what to think about this study. Is it a good thing, or is it a bad thing?

Warning! Public Service Announcement

I want to draw this important public service announcement to your attention:

WARNING! Is Bill Gates implanting microchips in your Impossible Burgers?!?!?!?! Inquiring minds demand to know! See article below:

American news anchor claims plant-based meat contains Bill Gates microchips!

But there is also good news. Because I am full-service Reverend, I have researched this and discovered that we can use the exact same microchip scanners that we use to scan our companion animals for microchips to scan our plant-based meat for Bill Gates microchips! I know this is true because I read it on the Internet!

So, all you have to do is go to Amazon.com and put "microchip scanners" into the search bar. You will see a variety of scanners to choose from, available in different colors and styles to fit your wardrobe choices.

And, then when you go out to dinner, you can pull your scanner out and scan your plant-based meat for Bill Gates microchips just like you might scan your companion animal.

This was a public service announcement from the Compassion Consortium

Be safe, be secure, be vigilant.

Happy World Vegan Day

I hope you all have a wonderful World Vegan Day.

World Vegan Day originated in England in 1994, when vegan animal rights activist Louise Wallis was looking for a suitable setting to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Vegan Society. As President of the Vegan Society, her aim was not only to emphasize the continued existence of a vegan association, but also to draw attention to the fact that the word ‘vegan’ had found its way into the English language.

You can learn all about the history, purpose and global activities associated with World Vegan Day at World Vegan Day on 1 November - celebrating for a good cause - World Vegan Day (vegan-day.org).
