A study carried out by AAAS shows that rats chose to free the imprisoned rats rather than eating food placed near the cage, which suggests that the rats show compassion, primarily a trait seen only in primates.
Researchers at the University of Chicago performed some experiments to see if a rat would help a fellow rat out of a cage if it could. They got surprising results, the free rat did help the confined rat.
After hearing calls for help from the caged rat, free rat tried desperately to uncage the rat and did so effeciently over time. Not just that, the free rat would also save some of it’s treat for the other rat. How humanly I say!
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy— and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.

The Philippine eagle is an extremely large, powerful bird of prey, and the national bird of the Philippines. It is the largest eagle in the world in terms of length and wing surface, though the Steller’s sea eagle and the harpy eagle are both heavier.

What the fuck
Firefighters, nurses, teachers, lawyers, massage therapists, barbers, psychologists and real estate brokers have all had their credentials suspended or revoked.
these laws are super shitty but it looks like some states who still have them on the books are choosing not to enforce them.
Hawaii, Alaska, Iowa, Mass. and Washington don’t enforce them. Other states recently removed/made theirs powerless with bipartisan support (Oklahoma, New Jersey, Montana), so i feel like there’s hope to be had.
In the meantime, pressure your state lawmakers over crap like this. The worst states seem to be South Dakota, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.

“Moonlight” is about the others — the people who haven’t found their tribe. And it’s about the people who help you, the people who do love you, the ones who do emerge and throw you a raft. — Mahershala Ali
