Iceland didn’t hunt any whales in 2019—and public appetite for whale meat is fading

Since the International Whaling Commission placed an international moratorium on whaling in 1986, few countries have engaged in the practice. Iceland was one of them, however, and it has hunted whales sporadically since then and has been roundly criticized by many neighboring countries for doing so. There are indications now that a generational shift in consuming whale meat for food is taking place in the country---with younger citizens avoiding whale meat altogether and thus reducing the economic demand for the product.

Can your pets get coronavirus, and can you catch it from them?

It was previously reported that lions and tigers in New York’s Bronx Zoo had become infected with SARS-CoV-2, and they were displaying symptoms of COVID-19. Now, it seems that there is evidence that other species, namely cats and dogs, can become infected with the virus, though they respond differently to it than humans do. This week's blog post below discusses the possibility of catching COVID-19 from a dog or a cat.
