France bans all animal transport until the end of the heat wave!

Because of the ongoing heat, animal transport in France has been banned for the time being. “Yesterday (Wednesday) I ordered to ban the transport of animals because we can not leave the animals in trucks and trains,” said Minister of Agriculture Didier Guillaume the station BFM TV. He had therefore prohibited animal transports for a few days.

One will see in the coming week, if the heat decreases.

This is a perfectly understandable and empathic decision of France!

Viva la France! ❤🐄🐖🐓

Even France is groaning since the beginning of the week under a heatwave.

According to the Météo France meteorological service, the heat is exceptional – firstly because of its early beginning in the month of June, secondly because of the pronounced intensity during the day and at night. Regional meteorologists expect more than 40 degrees. It is hot especially in the southeast of the country.

And in the rest of Europe?

The madness with the animal transport under this extreme heat continues. In Germany, for example. The German government has neither the courage nor empathy to put the welfare and life of transport animals over the economic interests of the animal exploiters!

And the animals are transported in glowing coffins at 40 degrees.

With the blessing of our Minister of Agriculture, Julia Klöckner!
Our Agriculture Minister Julia Klöckner has no interest in animals at all. She is a friend of the slaughterhouses, a friend of the hunt and represents only the interests of the farmer and the meat mafia. And especially immune to hatred and rejection of millions citizens of her country.

My best regards to all, Venus

Silk is an animal fiber that consists mainly of proteins. The material is made in small glands in the mouth of the silk spinner. The caterpillar wraps itself in and forms a protective cocoon around her body. Then she pupates and turns into a butterfly.

In 2014, about 178,000 tonnes of silk were produced worldwide – mostly in China, India or Uzbekistan. If you now realize that about 50,000 silkworms are killed for a silk dress, it’s worth taking a closer look.

How is silk made?

The silk moth is the main producer. More precisely, it is his larva. She is tiny shortly after birth and then eats the leaves of the mulberry tree in only four weeks (and four molts) 14 000 times her hatching weight.

She is fat like a finger before she starts pupating. Instead, it produces a thread in its oral glands, which consists of fibrin, a horn-like protein. She sticks it to sericin, a glue. First, she weaves a net between branches and blades of grass, anchoring her cocoon, which she spins out of a single thread that can be rolled out up to four kilometers long.

In this cocoon she rests – and normally after about 18 days a woolly white-haired butterfly would hatch. But this does not happen in the silk breeding, because when hatching, he would bite through the endless silk thread and tand break the thread, which no one silk collector wants. He wants the thread as a whole.

To prevent this, the cocoons, together with the living dolls, are exposed to dry in the sun or thrown into boiling water. You can watch how the animals crawl around in their cocoons and try to escape death.

My comment: Silk is the only textile fiber for which live creatures must be killed in order to gain them, namely the caterpillars of the silk moth.
And I have no doubt that animals that find death in boiling water feel pain.
Whether they are lobsters, cocoon dolls or pigs.
They are enslaved, exploited, cooked alive because a two-legged animal wants to have his kimono from China silk.
It is high time we, the human animals, finally civilize ourselves.
