A former orangutan smuggler, now working as an informer, tells how babies are torn by their mothers.
At least three orangutan babies are to be taken out of the jungle every week and transported mainly through Thailand to third countries, especially in the Middle East, where owning an exotic rainforest animal is a great status symbol.
Demand is always there, and what these babies experience is cruel.
“The demand is always there, they always want orangutans,” said the former smuggler.
“Every week, I’ve got at least three orangutans and given them to two women and one man. This demand was there every week. ”
A hunter receives about $ 50 to take a baby away from his mother, who is usually shot or beaten to death.
He talked about how the babies are hidden in their luggage and how they got hugs as a substitute for their mothers’ pillow.
“These government officials in Indonesia know very well what is going on.
They know who the hunters are, they know who the traders are, and without the help of the authorities, they would not take these animals out of the country.”
World trade in wildlife is evolving as the world of drug trafficking. Where they have money, they are covert … the profits are so high and the risks are so low that this business is an invitation to corruption!

In Brazil, once again, the dam of an iron ore mine is broken. On 25th January 2019, about 12 million tons of contaminated waste were dumped at the village of Brumadinho in the mountains from Minas Gerais valley downwards.
The mudslide caused at least 186 people to die, and another 122 people are still missing. The mining complex, housing estates, rivers and tropical vegetation are covered with toxic mud up to 15 meters high.
The dam failure was not an accident, but a serious crime against humans, nature and animals.
The operator of the iron ore mine is the Brazilian group Vale, the largest iron ore producer in the world.
With an annual production of over 430 million (2016) tons of iron ore, Brazil is the second most important global iron ore producer after Australia.
Those responsible for the disaster are not only in Brazil, but also in Germany.
The TÜV Süd,headquartered in Munich, Germany, had certified the dam of the sedimentation basin as safe in September 2018.
We experience it every day, with almost every message: a gangster group gives the hand to the other gangster group. Governments and industry are a bunch of corrupt psychopaths who stop at nothing.
Humans, nature and animals are the raw materials with which the billions are made.

The organization FOUR PAWSwarns of “unprecedented scandal“ and sounds the alarm: At present, a single-handed approach by EU Commissioner for Animal Welfare Vytenis Andriukaitis is causing a stir in Europe’s animal welfare scene.
With a so-called “animal welfare reference center”, the standards for the attitude of mink, raccoon dog, fox, etc. should be laid down. Therefore FOUR PAWS, together with the umbrella organization of European animal welfare organizations Eurogroup for Animals, is launching a petitionto prevent this plan.
Andriukaitis wants to consolidate fur farming practically.
“The role of EU Commissioner Andriukaitis is extremely dubious in this case. “The Commissioner responsible for animal welfare is vehemently, almost rabbid, against any criticism from animal welfare organizations. He simply denies the animal welfare organizations the dialogue. It’s unclear what drives him here!
It seems he wants to pull this project absolutely, which is against any animal welfare idea”!
“Moral” they do not know … the MEP`s… “Empathy” is missing by them completely … Corruption is the norm in circles of the EU!

From 2016 to 2017, Animal Equality entered 31 slaughterhouses in 7 states of Mexico, including the state of Jalisco, where most animals are raised and killed for food in the country. Our investigators found that animals are killed while they are still conscious and die in agony, and discovered that there is no way to prosecute those who acted against the regulations that prohibit it.
We want to make sure that the mistreatment of farmed animals is exposed and that for the first time in Mexico, cruelty against farmed animals would be considered a crime. We are urging Jalisco’s congressmen to vote “yes” to Jalisco Without Cruelty and are actively lobbying those in government to make this a reality.
We need your help as well – please share this campaign with your friends and family in Mexico and urge them to contact their congressmen.
This petition has been launched for three weeks, and not even has 10,000 signatures.
We must finally understand that without solidarity and agreement, our fight for the rights of animals will become ever weaker, and those that cause or support suffering and misery in the farms will become ever stronger.
Active and in solidarity with the animals, that must be our leitmotif!
