🚨 A short letter to the editor 🚨 about #millions of street #dogs in India is out today in Nature, before the #Supreme Court hears the case tomorrow (28.01.26), again. @ProfExistence, Tim Coulson, and I feel that a clear-headed look at the causes of the crisis is needed to find workable solutions. India’s widespread, non-violence philosophy of Ahimsa means that culling dogs or removing feeding stations entirely could cause public outrage. However, reducing the number of feeding stations might be palatable. To be effective, this must be paired with major improvements in waste collection and processing, and with vaccination and neutering programmes. Now that we have your #attention: 1) Link to the #letter to the editor in Nature Portfolio: nature.com/articles/d41586-0… 2) Detailed policy-perspective preprint: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vi… 3) A short essay on The Conversation (#English): read by #425000 people across the world (did you miss it?): doi.org/10.64628/AB.4fjstyxp… 4) Above essay in #French: doi.org/10.64628/AAK.7ucdtwj… Our ongoing research at @ThinkpawsOrg is funded by @India_Alliance (DBT/Wellcome Trust India Alliance), based at @NCBS_Bangalore: National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore (Host) and @OxfordBiology , @UniofOxford (overseas host).

🚨Bajo este contexto, el profesor Tim Coulson, de la Universidad de Oxford, ha señalado en una entrevista concedida al medio The European cuál es el más firme candidato para dominar la Tierra en cuanto el humano se extinga. Y, de acuerdo con sus especulaciones, se trata de nada más y nada menos que el pulpo. Ellos son los que podrían convertirse en los próximos dominadores del mundo gracias a su inteligencia, adaptabilidad y habilidades únicas.

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
