Pandemics are a constant threat to humans and animals alike. While scientists have worked feverishly to create vaccines for the most recent pandemics, such as HIV/AIDS, smallpox, and SARS, they have experimented with other methods of control in the past. One method was animal testing. During the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, an estimated 21 million animals were infected and killed in the United States alone for this purpose. However, because so many people died from breathing in animal-influence...

High in fat and protein, low in sugar and carbs, and a vital ingredient in a plethora of dishes in every culture on earth, eggs are a staple for a reason. Unfortunately, buying eggs today isn’t as simple as it used to be. Today’s eggs come with additional labels, like “free-range,’ “organic,” or “cage-free.” At the very least, everyone should be buying cage-free eggs over generic supermarket eggs.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, shelters have been overloaded with stray animals. One way to help is to offer to foster a cat or dog. Fosters take animals into their home until the animal is ready for adoption. This allows shelters to keep their doors open, as it frees up space for other animals that may be surrendered due to financial hardship during the pandemic. It also minimizes the amount of staff needed in order to successfully run the shelter in the time of Covid 19.
The foster to...
