The maritime authorities from Quarteira provided assistance to a vessel that lost its propulsion capability in the waters of Albufeira. The situation was controlled without any serious problems for the occupants of the vessel.

The six people on board did not require any type of medical assistance, all being in good health during the rescue operation.

After the assistance operation was concluded, the vessel was directed to Albufeira Marina, where it remained under the responsibility of the local port authorities for subsequent procedures.

This information was originally published by the Barlavento newspaper, which reported on the intervention of the Quarteira lifeguards in the assistance operation for the disabled vessel.

Investigation shows that in one day, approximately 35,000 chicks were ground alive in industry

An investigation by the organization Mercy For Animals (MFA) documented the death of approximately 35,000 chicks in a single day at a large hatchery in the Southern Region of Brazil. The practice, common in the global egg industry, consists of grinding newborn males alive, as they do not lay eggs and do not have adequate genetic characteristics for meat production. Females with anomalies, deformities, bleeding, or premature birth were also eliminated in machines with high-speed rotating blades. The company name was not disclosed, and according to the MFA's Vice President of Investigations, the goal was to document this practice that permeates the entire industry in order to invest in animal welfare.
