The heart-stopping moment a rodeo clown is gored by 1000kg bull

Ouch 🤡

Brodie Frizzell has been involved in bull riding for years, but even he got “a bit scared” when the beast ‘I’m a Thug’ had him against the chute.

Buy LOCAL Honey 🐝 🌻🇦🇺

Bees are very resourceful they do what it takes to survive .

After investigating this hive , they discovered their bees were feeding on the colourful shells of M&Ms - a Mars processing plant was located 4 km away from the bees in #France.

The photo shows how easy it is for Beekeepers to cheat. Bees can store sugar syrups the same way they can store nectar from flowers.
Over 10,000,000 kgs of "honey" was imported into Australia and a lot of this honey is suspected to be adulterated. As scientific analysis improve to find fraudulent honey so do the perpetrators and much of this honey gets ultra-filtered and blended. This honey lacks medicinal benefits and some can not be traced.

The world honey price recently dropped just like the global milk prices. In New Zealand this has not effected their honey price but in Australia because we import so much honey and also export blends as product of Australia our price has dropped. While NZ beekeepers get $11 our beekeepers are getting $4.50

Please try to buy honey direct from the beekeeper where possible or buy from a company that does not import honey. Use the honey map.

Bees need to be honoured and respected. Sugar syrups are unhealthy to bees like they are unhealthy for our children.

Nearly 300000 people have signed this petition but the government refuse to change the laws.

Please sign 🙏🐝

❌🦟

🚨 Japanese Encephalitis Virus & Horses 🚨

Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a is a viral zoonotic disease that is spread by mosquitoes that affects animals and humans. Outbreaks of JEV have been reported in piggeries in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

In horses, many cases are subclinical, meaning they are infected but show no signs of disease. Most clinical disease is mild, however more severe encephalitis can occur which may be fatal. Symptoms of JEV in horses may include:
🔴 Elevated temperature
🔴 Jaundice
🔴 Lethargy
🔴 Anorexia
🔴 Neurological signs - incoordination, difficulty swallowing, impaired vision, and rarely the horse becomes over excited.

⚠️ Prevention may include regularly applying insect repellents, fly mask, rugging and stabling horses during periods when mosquitoes are active.

🚨 Horse owners need to be alert to signs of this disease. Japanese encephalitis is a nationally notifiable disease which means it must be reported to a veterinarian or biosecurity authority. To report, call the national Emergency Animal Disease Watch Hotline on 1800 675 888. This number will put you in contact with the biosecurity authority in your state or territory.

‼️How to reduce mosquitoes 🦟 in the chicken coop‼️

Chickens are extremely vulnerable to biting insects.

Although thick feathers provide some protection, fleshy combs and wattles are inviting blood-rich targets. Flies and mosquitoes also harbor diseases and bacteria, which can affect the health of your flock.

During daylight hours chickens are amazingly alert but once they flap up to the roost and nod off for the evening, they enter a near comatose state. When sleeping they can’t protect themselves from biting insects.

Unfortunately, this time is perfect for a mozzie attack! If the mosquitoes are out during the day, this can also cause problems. If your chooks are constantly fighting them off, they won’t be eating, drinking, and enjoying life.

The extra energy spent constantly moving to keep bugs off also can cause your chickens to lose weight and experience heat stress.

🌍 World Wildlife Day 🐢 🦘🦆

The food we eat has an impact

It impacts more than just us

Eating processed food rarely helps our bodies. We know too much consumption can negatively affect our health. But if we think about more than ourselves, the consumption of packaged food is also negatively impacting the environment – the very world our children are growing up in.

This picture is from Bel & Israel’s travels around Australia. It’s shows the contents from one of the sea turtles who was recovering from ingesting this plastic wrap

♻️Sustainability, reducing, reusing and recycling are all part of our Children’s Health Program. By the end of our program children understand that their food choices have a much larger impact than just what they are eating. You can find out more about our program here 🔽
https://therootcause.com.au/childrens-health-program/

There are some ways that we can all make a difference to the rubbish we produce and therefore impact the volume of rubbish that ends up in our environment and potentially affecting our wildlife.

Here’s 5 simple actions you can take today to reduce lunchbox waste ⬇️

1. Talk to your kids about the bigger picture
2. Make Lunchbox Food Fun and Easy To Eat
3. Remove at least 1 packet from your child’s lunchbox
4. Stop using plastic wrap and plastic bags
5. Follow these steps for yourself - your children will see you modelling this behaviour and they will notice

A statistic that none of us should be proud of;
Australia is one of the highest producers of waste per head of population in the world 😔

Let’s pledge together to change this statistic!

💔

Hundreds of farmers in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales have been inundated by torrential rain and life-threatening floods. Growers watched on helplessly as their beloved crops were swallowed by rising floodwaters. Graziers risked their lives to move stock to higher ground, as rivers swelled to record highs.

Our hearts go out to farmers who’ve had years of hard work washed away before their eyes. Rural Aid stands ready to assist our registered farmers as they face yet another crisis.

Flood affected farmers are urged to register with Rural Aid today
