USA: Pollinating Bees Decline By 40% During Recent Months – Petition Bayer Monsanto To Stop Their Death Products.

 

 

Mark — America’s bee crisis is getting worse.

Our nation’s beekeepers recently reported the largest recorded winter losses of pollinating honeybees ever — nearly 40 percent. Why are these once-thriving insects dying at some of the highest rates?

A catastrophic flood of highly toxic pesticides — neonicotinoids or “neonics” — pushed by Big Ag is a leading cause of this collapse. Studies show that neonics sicken and kill bees. Reckless use of these poisons threaten our food supply — and possibly even our health. We need to put a stop to it, and together we will.

NRDC is currently waging a courtroom battle against Trump’s EPA that aims to restrict the use of bee-killing neonic products that also threaten endangered species. But to save our pollinators, we need to stop bee-killing uses of neonics on all fronts — so we’re putting the pressure on the world’s largest manufacturer of these toxic chemicals, Bayer-Monsanto.

Mark, we’re amassing a groundswell of public pressure against Bayer-Monsanto and we need your voice to send a message to its CEO, Werner Baumann, that’s too loud to ignore. Sign our petition demanding they STOP selling bee killing neonic products!

Why is the decline of honeybees causing so much alarm? Well, the future of our food supply is at stake. In fact, 70 percent of the world’s major food crops rely on bees.

And the neonic pesticides made by Bayer-Monsanto are poisons designed to kill insects — and are so toxic that, even in minute doses, they weaken the immune and navigation systems of bees, as well as their stamina and memory, making them less likely to survive.

The European Union and Canada have already restricted use of these toxic chemicals, but Trump’s EPA has opened the floodgates for agrichemical giants like Bayer-Monsanto to make millions off this assault on our pollinators.

We’re taking on Trump’s EPA in court to restrict the use of bee-killing neonic products, but we need your powerful voice to send a loud message to Bayer-Monsanto: Stop selling these toxic bee-killing poisons.

Toxic neonic pesticides aren’t only harming bees — they could be harming us, too. Neonic residues are found in 86% of our honey, as well as on apples, cherries, strawberries, and can even be found in baby food. Federally-funded research suggests that exposure to neonics in the womb and by children could increase the risk of developmental defects, autism, heart deformations, memory loss, and muscle tremors.

But instead of protecting pollinators and our food supply, the Trump administration and his EPA are coddling big chemical companies and ignoring critical information about honeybee losses. The EPA approved continued use of these bee-killing neonic pesticides, which are already used on 190 million acres of crops, and the administration reversed bans on using neonics in all national wildlife refuges.

So while NRDC takes on Trump’s EPA and neonics in court, we need to also build public pressure on Bayer-Monsanto.

Petition

Sign our petition to Werner Baumann, Bayer-Monsanto’s CEO: the American people won’t sit by as our bees are poisoned and our health is threatened.

Thanks for taking on this agrichemical behemoth with us. Your voice is critical to our success.

Sincerely,

Mitch Bernard
President/Chief Counsel, NRDC

Germany: strongest agricultural lobby in europe

 

 

from the portal: http://www.netzfrauen.org

“Poultry meat is popular. And rightly so.

Because in addition to enjoyable taste experiences, poultry meat provides many important nutrients that make it particularly valuable for a balanced diet, “said the German poultry industry.

Despite all the criticisms and scandals, the global meat market continues to grow. Particularly popular are the antibiotics-fed chicken. At the “Oktoberfest” in Munich alone 510,000 whole chickens are sold.

In Germany, more than 90 million chickens are kept for egg production a year, producing about 12 billion eggs. The animals are reared within 32 days, from hatching to slaughter, and then slaughtered in the chord. These are chickens that vegetate in tons of fecal matter, in stalls that are too narrow.

 

“Wiesenhof” wants to kill 240,000 chickens a day in his abattoir in Brandenburg alone.
“Meat is one of the most important drivers of growth in Europe,” says lobbyist and EU Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan, and he also funds this industry with millions of dollars in taxpayer money.

Meat consumption should be even further boosted. The production of poultry meat is expected to increase above average until 2027. Despite all the scandals and criticism, the meat industry breeds and kills more chickens than ever!
German Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner also supports the agricultural lobby.

Although a new animal welfare label was presented, but who should check the husbandry form?

Because it’s time, we already have Chinese standards in animal welfare!

 

Not only the animals suffer terrible torments, also the human being is affected. According to a recent report, the practices of intensive chicken production contribute to the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria that are transmissible from animals to humans, such as Campylobacter, Salmonella and E. coli.

For decades, factory owners have been pumping antibiotics into the animals to make up for inhuman and disease-causing conditions.

Now fight back bacteria. This is extremely worrying as the number of serious infections with E. coli is at record levels and increasing from year to year. E. coli is by far the most common cause of urinary tract infection and dangerous human blood poisoning, and it can also cause meningitis.

These infections can be fatal if they do not respond to antibiotics.

 

Several scientists point out that malnutrition in the slaughter of chickens routinely occur and cause the animals to suffer unimaginably.

The affected animals are then – hanging upside down on hooks – consciously slashed the throat with a knife.
However, some of the animals manage to avoid the throat-cutting by panicking.

They are then usually the complete head separated – also without anesthesia.

My comment: And the following undercover investigation (video) of the SOKO Animal Welfare Association will undo the illusions of those who believe in the fairy tale of organic animal husbandry, buy this chicken meat with a clear conscience, and pay extra like idiots for animal cruelty from organic farms! !!

 

 

In Germany, 50 million male chicks are gassed annually just because they have the wrong sex. Even so, the undercover investigation proves that many thousands of female animals are also cruelly disposed of, simply because too many of them were produced, although that is forbidden.

When it comes to cutting costs and maximizing profits, the meat mafia knows no laws and no rules.

For the Dachau of the animals is the meat mafia, but especially their helpers, the meat consumers, guilty.

My best regards to all, Venus

 

Italy: a tragedy that was not one

 

Today I read the following message on news portal t-online: “Tragic accident in Italy: man shoots his own father in boar hunting”!!

 

 

Fatal accident in Italy: In the hunt for a wild boar, a 34-year-old accidentally shot his father in the stomach. The man died at the scene of the accident.

 

A son in Italy shot his father hunting wild boar. The 34-year-old man is accused of negligent homicide, reported Italian news agencies, citing the investigative authorities. The two men were on the weekend in southern Sicignano degli Alburni at Salerno on the hunt.

The 55-year-old father was in the line of fire of his son. The son confused his father, who had rustled in bushes, with a wild boar. The shot had hit the father in the stomach, the man had died on the spot.

Both were said to have been traveling in an area where the hunt is actually prohibited, it said in the reports.

 

 

Again and again it comes in Italy to fatal accidents in the hunt.

The Animal Welfare Officer and former Tourism Minister Michela Vittoria Brambilla called for an “end to the Wild West in the woods and in the fields”.

https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten/panorama/id_86500070/tragischer-unfall-in-italien-mann-erschiesst-eigenen-vater-bei-wildschwein-jagd.html

And I mean…Of course, any accident involving human victims in hunting is called a tragedy.
And if the hunter had shot the boar?
And if the animal also had a family, a mother, or a fatter, or children?
That would not be a tragedy, that would be hunting!

Such messages are always portrayed in such a way that a philanthropic pity should arise. Automatically.
And those who do not feel pity for these murderers, when they fall victim to it themselves and out of their own guilt, are degraded to being a misanthrope.
Also automatically.

The moral education of our society forbids a just moral analogy between human and animal species.

Alone the wording of the message: “tragedy in Italy” is already propaganda against animals.

My best regards to all, Venus

Lets finish today with a really great story.

 

Lets finish today with a really great story;

An elephant’s memory really is a powerful thing. We know that they can remember faces and smells, and recall paths to water and food sources, even decades later. Loijuk, an orphaned elephant who was rescued, rehabilitated and released back into the wild, also will never forget the caretakers that saved her life.

Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) rescued her at five months of age, nurtured her, and returned her to the wild, where she has lived for several years. Still, she often returns to visit the people who gave her a second chance at life.

Recently, Loijuk had something special to show her caretakers. Her own baby, now named Lili, was just a few hours old when the mother-daughter pair visited the sanctuary most recently.

In an incredible moment of human-animal encounter, Loijuk allowed her wobbly newborn to meet the sanctuary’s head keeper, Benjamin Kyalo. After petting her smooth skin, he breathed into Lili’s trunk so that she learns his scent for reunions later on.

Thanks to these visits, SWT staff can monitor the elephants and ensure that Lili is healthy and growing. Lili is the 31st calf born to orphaned elephants raised by the sanctuary and returned to the wild.

Loijuk’s story is a testament to the power of saving even one elephant. Because of her, a new elephant family has begun.

 

Austria: Give your vote for Martin Balluch-for the animals!

 

 

This short article actually only concerns readers who live in Austria and will take part in the federal elections next Sunday, 29th September.

In the party JETZT (NOW) arises as independent candidate the animal rights activist Dr.Dr. Martin Balluch.

 

 

Martin Balluch is an Austrian physicist, philosopher, and prominently animal rights activist.

He has been ONE of Europe’s animal rights activists for decades and works with all his might for animal welfare.

He was able to contribute to some successes, in particular to the prohibition of fur farms and wildlife circuses, the prohibition of laying batteries, animal experiments on apes and the caging of meat rabbits, to the establishment of animal protection as a state goal in the Federal Constitution and the ban on poultry boxes for mother pigs.

 

The philosopher Peter Singer has called Balluch “one of the foremost spokesmen in the worldwide animal rights movement for pursuing the nonviolent, democratic road to reform. ” He was invited to run as a Green Party candidate in September 2008.

As the main defendant, Balluch and other thirteen animal rights activists stood trial in the scandalous “animal rights activists process” on March 2, 2010.

With the unfounded charge that he and the other animal rights activists of the “Association Against Animal Factories (VgT Austria)” were involved in a criminal organization.
This led to international proceedings and on May 2, 2011, all 13 defendants were acquitted of all charges after more than thirteen months of pre-trial detention.

 

 

Martin Balluch on his candidacy ” I don`t know exactly what to expect if I am elected to Parliament and I therefore can not promise concrete progress. But I can promise that I want to raise the issue of animal protection, always and everywhere, and constantly criticize the government for its failures in animal welfare and to show them the crimes they are responsible for against the so-called livestock.

Parliament does not have the task of appealing to the people to be kind to animals. Parliament has the task of setting the course so that society changes in such a way that animals are no longer maltreated”.

Austria: September 29, 2019: List JETZT –

Who wants animal welfare, must choose Balluch!

USA: Under Trump, the US Department of the Interior Has REVERRSED the Ban on Elephant Trophy Hunting Imports.

https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2019/09/24/tanzania-usa-under-trump-the-u-s-department-of-the-interior-reversed-a-ban-on-elephant-trophy-imports/

 

Hi Mark,

A threatened lion in Tanzania was gunned down for sport

— and now the killer will be bringing the body home to

hang on his wall.

This is the first trophy-import permit for a Tanzanian lion

issued since these majestic cats were protected under the

Endangered Species Act. And it could kick the door wide

open for elephants, lions and more species to be shot in

Tanzania so their bodies can be dragged back to the States.

We must put an end to this kind of behavior before it spreads.

Please give now to support our fight to save lions and other endangered species.

Despite Trump calling trophy hunting a “horror show,” his

administration has repeatedly gone out of its way to clear

the path for overseas slaughter of threatened species.

First the U.S. Department of the Interior reversed a ban on

elephant-trophy imports from Zimbabwe. Then it created a

council riddled with conflicts of interest and packed with

Safari Club members and NRA bigwigs to “advise” on

trophy-hunting decisions.

And now we’re seeing the results: the first permit for a Tanzanian

lion being issued to a Florida-based hunter. It’s no coincidence

this lion killer’s legal representative sits on Interior’s sham,

pro-trophy-hunting council.

This permit bodes ill for wildlife in Tanzania, home to roughly

40 percent of Africa’s lions and up to half of the elephants in

eastern Africa. The administration could greenlight more lion,

and maybe even elephant, trophy imports.

Trophy hunting of the world’s threatened species must be stopped.

We’re in the courts fighting the administration’s pro-trophy agenda.

And we’re rallying our members to push Congress to use its legislative

powers to abolish the pro-trophy hunting council and force these

import decisions into the public eye.

It’s past time to put an end to the fat-cat privilege of gunning

down the Earth’s magnificent, rare wildlife for the sake of an

ego boost.

Please give now to support our fight to stop trophy-hunt imports.

For the wild,

Kierán Suckling
Executive Director
Center for Biological Diversity
