|Paris will prohibit pony rides for children in its public parks starting from 2025, following a campaign by animal rights activists who assert that the treatment of the ponies is inadequate. These rides, a longstanding attraction in parks like Champ de Mars, Parc Monceau, and Parc du Luxembourg, have faced criticism from animal rights groups who argue that the ponies endure long working hours, lack access to water and hay, and are subjected to uncomfortable transport conditions.

|The salmon farming industry in Scotland, valued at over £1.2 billion annually, is facing numerous challenges and controversies. Disease is causing the death of around 15 million farmed salmon each year, while also impacting other marine life. The decline of wild salmon numbers is a concerning consequence of the industry's expansion, with only three million wild Atlantic salmon remaining in Scottish waters compared to 8-10 million in the 1970s.
