Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

8/12 is the anniversary of the death of my beloved ‘Golda’.

Despite her loss for several years now it is not really any easier;  I came to the conclusion many years ago that no matter how hard you try to improve things, money is the most evil thing on the planet; or maybe the second worst, after all the human shit we have that get a kick out of animal and human abuse for the gain of making a few pennies more.

Today, Tuesday 5/12, there has been a major meeting in Africa regarding the huge amount of plastic that is being dumped into the sea – and killing marine life as a result.  The equivalent of one loaded garbage truck of plastic dumped into the sea EVERY SINGLE MINUTE so they are saying on the BBC.

 

Man alone is doing a fine and productive job of fucking up the whole planet – be it Trump and his anti environment protecting policies; the Chinese and there continual abuse of both animals and the planet –  they (as a nation) dump around 25% of all plastics into the oceans according to info I have this week; the Bear Bile issues which the wonderful Jill is working so hard to stop; the killing of donkeys with sledgehammers etc – it just goes on.

We have a wonderful one off planet – so why do some dickheads just want to trash it all ?

The fight goes on but very often it can be very depressing with all the bad news and negativity which arrives at the ‘Inbox’ every single day.

Many world leaders are in a position to make a real change to animal welfare and environment.  Many of them don’t really give a toss – their personal positions are far more important than saving the planet.  ‘Tin Gods’ I think they call them.  Boy the EU alone is full of them; we have seen this for so long; they have names like Junker and Tusk and Van Goethem; persons who ignore the evidence presented to them but who also dance to the blinkered tune of financial gain.

They make me want to puke – all over their so very well cut suits !

I am gonna get down off my soapbox now – and as I say, the fight goes on for better or worse.

There is a wonderful North American Cree Indian Prophecy that reads:

Only when the last tree has been cut down,
Only when the last river has been poisoned,
Only when the last fish has been caught,

Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

 

I guess you could update that now to include people that pull out of Paris climate agreements, the dumping of plastic in the oceans, the use of ‘clean’ coal; etc.

‘Money cannot be eaten’ – oh if the worlds pig shit thick politicians were to even get a partial grip of this, then we and the animals may be in a much better place.

Mark.

I love this song from the Stones – I was born in the same town as Mick Jagger.

UPDATE  6/12/17 – Greenpeace Action In London.

 

Update for action on 5/12/17.

Greenpeace in action in London against Coke contaminating the seas and causing Plastic Oceans.

Hi Mark, We’ve taken over London landmark Piccadilly Circus with our very own Coca-Cola Christmas event! Can you sign the petition calling on Coke to stop polluting our oceans with plastic? Petition – https://secure.greenpeace.org.uk/page/s/coca-cola-petition?source=em&subsource=20171205ocem01&utm_source=gpeace&utm_medium=em&utm_campaign=20171205ocem01 Christmas is a big time of year for Coke – but we want to show the world that their happy holiday image hides a less cheerful reality. This global drinks giant pumps out an estimated 110 billion plastic bottles a year – that’s over 3,400 bottles a second! Our recycling systems simply cannot keep up with this tide of single-use plastic, and it’s overwhelming our oceans. Research has shown that a shocking 90% of seabirds and 1 in 3 sea turtles have ingested plastic. As the biggest soft drinks producer in the world, Coca-Cola have the opportunity to take the lead in reducing their plastic footprint and coming up with innovative reusable alternatives. Please take a minute to sign the petition and tell Coke to take urgent action to stop harming our oceans. Greenpeace supporters in 14 countries around the world have now joined the campaign – and together we’re showing Coke that there’s nowhere to hide for their plastic polluting ways. This festive season, join the call for Coca-Cola to make a resolution that will change the face of our oceans for years to come – don’t let Coke choke our oceans! Thanks for all you do, Alice and the Oceans team
