Painting isn't just for people. This pig is a painter too!
This pig's name is Pinto. Since he doesn't have any hands, Pinto can't use a brush to paint. Instead, he uses other parts of his body.
First, Pinto puts his face and hooves in a bowl of paint. Then he walks over to a piece of paper on the ground and rubs the paint all over it. Sometimes he gets more paint on himself than he gets on the piece of paper.

But Pinto doesn't just use paint. Sometimes he also takes his food and puts it on the painting too.

繪畫可不是人類的專利,這隻豬也是畫家。
牠的名字叫「Pinto」。因為牠沒有手,無法使用刷子作畫,所以牠就改用身體的其它部位。
首先,Pinto 把鼻子和腳蹄放進一碗畫料裡,然後在地板的紙上走來走去,四處塗上畫料。
有時候牠自己沾上的畫料比塗在紙上的還多。
不過,Pinto 不只會用畫料,還會把自己的食物拿來作畫。
下次你在吃自己不喜歡的食物時,可別丟掉,用來創作藝術品吧! (台北時報)

The US-Israeli war on Iran, launched on Feb. 28, has set the Middle East alight, threatening millions of people’s lives and livelihoods as the violence spreads in widening arc stretching from central Asia to the edge of Europe. The joint operation, named “Epic Fury” by the US and “Roaring Lion” by Israel, has been sold as a high-impact show of intimidating power, but its impact so far beyond the chaos and bloodshed is unclear. What is certain is that predictions that this type of war would destabilize the region have indeed rapidly materialized. What is the background to this war? For decades, the
The English Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2017, is renowned for its landscapes, literary legacy and traditional farming. Yet, its esteemed status now sits at the center of a debate: is the designation protecting the region—or harming it? Conservationist Lee Schofield has sparked controversy by campaigning to revoke the Lake District’s World Heritage status. He argues that the label reinforces unsustainable farming, particularly the dominance of sheep grazing, which prevents ecological restoration and harms biodiversity. The famous Herdwick sheep, while culturally significant, contribute to overgrazing, soil erosion, and the prevention of forest recovery. Schofield clarifies that
