[Feature] Supporting Better Dairy by Ben & Jerry's
Most of the EU’s 27 countries don’t have specific rules for the welfare of dairy cows, as they do for pigs and hens. The Directive should introduce common, specific and enforceable standards that should be based on ethical values and sound scientific evidence, consistent with the scientific opinions and reports of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and appropriate for dairy systems across the EU.

10 Beautiful Photos of Amsterdam by Tim Collins
Tim Collins is an Amsterdam-based photographer from the UK, and covers themes such as urban photography, travel photography and music photography.

Without doubt one of the things that makes Amsterdam so special are its canals - the veins and arteries of the city! And it's amazing, because you can take a shot from exactly the same place at a different time of day, or during a different season and get a totally different picture. And that's great for people who like to photograph the city, because it changes not only by the season but even...
