The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has declined a petition by PETA and other groups to list long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The decision was made after the USFWS determined the petition lacked credible evidence supporting the need for such a listing, considering potential threats to the species. This decision aligns with recent findings by the National Association for Biomedical Research (NABR) that challenged the IUCN’s ‘Endangered’ designation for long-tailed macaques.

Former glamour model Katie Price has faced backlash after sharing a clip on Instagram of her recently acquired £1,200 Sphynx cat, Frog, engaging in a physical altercation with a dark brown dog. Despite PETA’s desperate pleas and an offer of £5K to refrain from owning animals, Price has disregarded their concerns. The incident has raised alarm bells given Price’s previous history with pet ownership, including the tragic deaths of at least seven animals in her care, primarily due to road traffic accidents. Animal welfare organizations are demanding action to prevent further harm to animals in her possession.
