En cada flor que mi mirada descubre

En cada flor que mi mirada descubre, encuentro un motivo, un detalle, una razón, un sentido, una invitación de la vida a palpar la esencia y admirar la forma, a deleitarme con los matices y con los perfumes, a fundirme en ese pulso que uno, a veces, percibe en toda expresión natural. En cada flor, encuentro el cutis de la vida, el aliento de la naturaleza, la energía de la creación.

En cada flor.

Fur farming industry dealt a killer blow with passing of new bill

Fur farming industry dealt a killer blow with passing of new bill 

There was a major milestone reached in the 20-year struggle to ban fur farming in this country in recent days when the Animal Health and Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021 passed its final stage in the Seanad.

The signing into law of the bill in the coming weeks by President Michael D Higgins will make it illegal to breed, rear, or keep specified animals “solely or primarily for the value of, or the manufacture of products from, their fur or skin”.
