Almost 100 thousand people have liked the post, but some were concerned about the private jet having a huge carbon footprints due to them having fewer people flying on them.

“Talks about saving the environment whilst flying his dogs around first class/on private jets,” ranted George Drake.

“If everyone had a carbon footprint as big as Lewis Hamilton we wouldn't have an earth left.”

Jonas Tillmann fumed: “He's flying with a private jet and telling everybody that he would live so consistently. Excuse me?”

Alex Caprowski joked: “Doesn't eats meat, flies on a jet.” Others questioned feeding the dog a meat-free diet.

One - called - Avniq - said: “What do you feed for protein?” Another said: “Dogs are carnivores.”

The 36-year-old F1 champion's bulldog has been on a plant-based diet for the last two years.

He put Roscoe on a meat-free diet to help cure his ailments.

Experts last year warned that meat-free food for dogs can be deficient in vital vitamins.

Nicole Paley, of the Pet Food Manufacturers' Association, said: “We advise that vegan diets – with no animal products – are carefully checked by a vet or animal nutritionist.”

And television vet Dr Scott Miller, who has appeared as an expert on BBC's Crufts, said a vegan diet could be “extremely dangerous” for dogs, and often removing meat from them was purely due to the preference of the owner.

He said: “Dogs and cats have sharper teeth for catching meat. As much as it makes sense for you to be a vegan, when it comes to our pets it's going to prove problematic.”

Recent studies have also speculated that raw dog food may spread antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...
