Thank you for your work on Hannibal. Very well done!

So the idea is embryo-sexing technology eliminates male chicks entirely? Interesting. Rather than process waste, eliminate waste at the source.

Sounds like good business practice. Eliminating the cost of waste processing.

I'm interested in this as well.

Clearly, if guns are the majority factor in crime, Australia should have more crime now than before.

Along those lines:

Abstract:
The development of legislation aimed at reducing the incidence of firearm-related death is an ongoing interest within the spheres of criminology, public policy, and criminal justice. Although a body of research has examined the impacts of significant epochs of regulatory reform upon firearm-related suicides and homicides in countries like Australia, where strict nationwide firearms regulations were introduced in 1996, relatively little research has considered the occurrence of a specific type of homicide: mass shooting events. The current paper examines the incidence of mass shootings in Australia and New Zealand (a country that is socioeconomically similar to Australia, but with a different approach to firearms regulation) over a 30 year period. It does not find support for the hypothesis that Australia’s prohibition of certain types of firearms has prevented mass shootings, with New Zealand not experiencing a mass shooting since 1997 despite the availability in that country of firearms banned in Australia. These findings are discussed in the context of social and economic trends.
