Ontario appears set to push ahead with a ban on declawing cats and debarking and ear cropping dogs, a move animal welfare advocates say is years overdue and doesn’t go far enough.

The province is consulting on the possible ban on its regulatory registry through early February, after first pitching it as part of a sweeping omnibus bill of anti-crime measures last fall. 

The proposal would see the province’s animal welfare inspectors enforce a ban on medically unnecessary surgeries.

“These procedures, which alter an animal's appearance or behaviour, can cause pain, long-term health issues, and behavioural problems,” the government’s posting on the registry says. 

Declawing a cat is the surgical amputation of all or part of its toe bones and attached claws. 

Ear cropping a dog involves cutting and shaping part of the ear to make it stand up straight. And devocalizing cuts out some vocal folds or cords to soften a dog’s bark. 

Animal welfare groups have long pressured governments to ban the procedures. 

Ontario says that licensed veterinarians would still be able to perform the surgeries if they deem it necessary for the “safety, health, or well-being” of an animal.

Criminalizes the seizure of oil tankers:

 Like I've said before, Donald Trump's dictatorship will create a world 3 with revenge. Criminalizes the seizure of oil tankers: Venezuela rushes to criminalize tanker seizures after Trump threats. Story by Regina Garcia Cano. Venezuela’s National Assembly has approved a measure that criminalizes the seizure of oil tankers and cargo ships. The bill, introduced, debated and approved within two days, makes illegal a broad range of activities that can hinder navigation and commerce in the South American country. The legislation comes after U.S. forces seized two tankers carrying Venezuelan oil in international waters in recent weeks. The seizures are the latest strategy in the dictatorship of President Donald Trump's four-month pressure campaign on Venezuela's leader Nicolás Maduro. The tankers are part of what the Trump administration has said is a fleet Venezuela uses to evade U.S. economic sanctions. The unicameral assembly, which is controlled by Venezuela's ruling...

We are on the edge of world war111

 Part of this article is from MSN News.  Something that the people are not ready for is world war111.  This has been heating up for a while; there have been signs, but nothing that bad till Donald Trump became the president of the U.S. We are on the edge of world war111, and nobody can reverse the disaster that is about to happen with the Trump dictatorship. Pentagon report revealing China is readying missiles sparks WWIII fear, Chinese People's Liberation Army. A brand new report from the Pentagon has revealed that China has armed over 100 long-range nuclear missiles which could reach the US in an all-out war.  The December 23 report to Congress found China's military has placed more than 100 DF-31 missiles, which are powerful intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), into underground launch sites called silos.  These missiles use solid fuel, meaning they're ready to launch quickly without needing extra preparation, unlike older liquid-fueled ones that take ...

Antibacterial soaps are not more effective,

Health concern partial report by Alisha  McDarris Published Dec 23, 2025 10:00 AM EST Ditch the antibacterial soap this cold and flu season! The most dreaded time of year rolls around every winter like clockwork: cold and flu season.  The time when hand washing increases, sanitizing surfaces intensifies, and old and young schedule regular seasonal vaccines in an attempt to prevent sickness from descending on their households. But there’s one piece of ammunition you should absolutely skip this season—and all year-round—because it does more harm than good: antibacterial hand soap. While hand washing is vitally important to curb the spread of disease, soap advertised as antibacterial not only doesn’t protect you better from disease, but it has far-reaching and possibly harmful effects on your health and the environment. Here’s why to ditch it and use plain soap instead. How does soap even work? Regular soap can come in many forms: foaming liquid, bars, and gels. It is a little mo...
