The firefighters of Lagoa received a new rural firefighting vehicle. The delivery of the vehicle took place at the headquarters of the municipality's fire brigade. This vehicle reinforces the corporation's response capacity to the fires that affect the rural area of the region.

The vehicle is funded by the Algarve 2030 program, a European funding initiative aimed at supporting projects in the Algarve region. The Algarve 2030 program aims to boost the economic and social development of the region, supporting investments in various areas.

This vehicle is part of a set of 66 vehicles destined for the Algarve region. This joint investment demonstrates the effort of regional authorities to modernize and strengthen rural firefighting resources, a constant concern in the Algarve territory, especially during the months of highest fire risk.

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.
