Cows Hens Cats Climate Change and Endangered Species

Jenna: Hey Hannah! I hope you’re ready for some animal news, but first, I have a joke for you! Knock knock….

Hannah: Who’s there?

Jenna: Cows go

Hannah: Cows go who?

Jenna: Nice try, but cows go moo! Speaking of super cute cows, how cool is it that Goldsmiths, University of London, stopped serving beef on campus to lower their carbon footprint? I was very impressed to hear about this.

Hannah: That is so cool, and it sounds like something we can all try to adopt into our own lives to help combat climate change. Every effort makes a difference! Did you see that Oregon is going cage-free?

Jenna: Ooh, tell me more!

Hannah: The state has passed a new law to enhance living conditions for these active animals. By the end of 2023, eggs produced and sold in Oregon must derive from cage-free facilities.

Jenna: I know this isn’t considered “cruelty-free”, but it is always uplifting to see laws that contribute to the betterment of animals. On a more light-hearted note, you have got to see the pictures of the Dog Bark Park Inn B&B. It’s shaped like a beagle and is pawsome!

Hannah: I think I know where we will be spending our spring break!

Jenna: Until next week, Hannah!

Hannah: Absolutely! More news to come!
