Our loyal commentator eparslavicaepar has posted a comment on my article ” new mobile coffin from Midia to Israel”, which I absolutely want to comment.
It reads: “What should we do? Stop the criminals or wait for some aliens from the Universe to do it. Would Hitler and Stalin stop killing themselves?”
First of all, one has to say that Stalin was not defeated or killed by anyone.
Hitler had powerful enemies who had their own interests in his fall, and for that reason he was betrayed from internal circles.
So far so good with the story, but I think, even if that is clarified, does not matter for the particular concern.
Because the farm- milk- animal transport- laboratory Mafia has no enemies, on the contrary! it has many lobbyists and 7 billion supporters who inhabit this planet and are primarily to blame for the fact that this fascism continues to exist and will exist against non-human animals.
So I fear that the question of the salvation of animals from their slavery and human fascism will be unanswered.
I do not know what we should do.
Do you know that? Or someone else?
In our experience, we can say for sure that not just a person, an organization or an action brings results.
Everything and all together can make a difference.
We can also say that without us this system would have made his criminal work much easier.
We’ve achieved a lot, but despite animal welfare law and regulation of human interaction with animals, animals are still considered things.
Even a very best animal protection law does not grant animals any rights, but only restricts the human power of disposal against animals.
Human animals enjoy their legally protected rights. For non-human animals a two-class justice applies.
They are under the power of those who have rights.
In this sense, the liberation of animals is impossible as long as animals are not recognized as persons who are judged and respected under the same moral system as humans.
As much as these facts us, animal rights activists and empathetic people, pain, it would be disloyal and immoral to end our struggle because our adversary is a fascist system that is hard to defeat, and because the people we deal with and with whom we live are the real culprits.
Animals have no one but us.
We do everything we can until their rights become reality.
It is very likely that we all who are writing now and here will not experience this victory.
Others will continue to fight, maybe better than us, maybe not, but this fight must never end.
We owe that to our clients.
Best regards, Venus

First the good news: Thanks to the tireless work of all helpers, animal welfare organizations, fire departments, etc … at the disaster site of Midia, according to reports 243 sheep have been rescued.
The well-known Austrian society, Robin Hood under Marion Loecker has symbolically received 10 from the survivors, and hopes for speedy adoptions.
Here the report:
The sad sheep of Midia.
A big thank you to all who helped to save 243 animals.
The Robin Hood campaign against these transports and accidents will be primarily political.
But we want to set a sign for all the poor animals and want to adopt 10 of the saved sheep. We are already in contact with the rescuers and hope that it works.
These sheep will then live on a property next to our shelter, our veterinarian is already waiting 
🙂 and also one of our employers, who takes care for our dogs, is a former shepherd and for him a dream will come true to have sheep again he will care for 🙂
Thus, the best conditions would be given – we hope very much the sheep can be adopted.
Please hope with us!
And now the bad news: According to new information from the same society, another cargo ship with animals has already left the port of Midia.

The report:
After the terrible accident with 14600 sheep in the port of Midia / Romania, another cargo ship with animals has already left the port of Midia and is on its way to Israel. Where the animals are slaughtered halal, like all the other sheep and goats that leave Romania on this path. And not only Romania, that’s pretty clear.
We will not watch any longer: The Robin Hood campaign, starting in Romania, is hereby launched.
First letters have already gone out to the authorities, we are working on two petitions. Well, that’s just a start … we have to be prepared for a year-long struggle.
The poor animals still have this path ahead of them (pic 2).
My comment: We still have not learned what the cause of the ship’s misfortune was, and the next death candidates are already on the way.
Maybe we’ll never know that, because the highest principle for the transport mafia is discretion.
The insurance has certainly paid off, the Agrarian Ministry of Romania is still interested in doing business with Middle East countries, and can count on the support of the worst animal transport lobby: EU!!
Everything stays the same?
We can not know that, though it seems to us.
Any action against these criminal businesses by governments and EU officials seems to be a stone against Goliath.
But if all organizations, societys, parties in solidarity and more effective against this system prepare and fight against it, with everyone day the chances of a small success increase, and that would be, for example, the immediate ban on the shipment of animals to third countries.
United we are strong is the motto.
We learned that from our enemies.
The last stand of the mobile coffin Julia L.S
My best regards to all, Venus

Here we are looking a little more into animal welfare in the Ukraine.
We give a very brief summary with associated links for more.
For the past 20 years, Naturewatch Foundation has been actively running projects in Ukraine, working with animal protection NGOs and municipalities to implement humane and sustainable stray dog population management schemes, following the recommendations of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OiE).
Amid the political turbulence in Ukraine, some people are dedicating their lives to the wellbeing of dogs, cats, birds, bears and other animals in the country. Photographer Thomas Machowicz has been documenting the work of the Kiev Animal Rescue Group (Karg), which provides emergency services for injured animals.

Being involved with animal welfare / rights is not usually much of a happy place to be for many of us. As you can tell from the articles on this site, there is very little in the way of positive news. Sadly, bad, sad unhappy news is often all we can give.
I have been in contact with Venus as always, and as from today, tomorrow ? – I am going to try and make posts a little more positive. I cant turn bad news into good, positive news; if only !, but I am going to try a slightly different approach with you, our friends and fellow animal activists, to see if we can sometimes make things in each post a little better.
It may be music, the odd bad joke, or a cartoon which I (we) hope will bring a smile to your face. We need something different sometimes, because all this bad stuff is not good for us, believe me; been there and worn the T shirt.
Changes will not be big, but some may be slightly different, interspersed amongst various posts. I am going to try it and see if we all feel any better with that approach.
Your feedback, which is always happily received, is always welcome – please use the reply links with any post to tell us; good or bad. This is your site as well as ours, and we welcome comments and views; plus any links you may wish to include.
For the animals
Regards Mark.

Campaigners call for sheep saved from capsized ship to be put out to pasture
‘They survived all this, they deserve a nice old age,’ says head of rescue team
A comfortable retirement to an all-you-can-eat grassy field seems the least that the 250 surviving sheep from the Queen Hind disaster in the Black Sea deserve. But there is still some debate over their fate, according to animal campaign groups working in Romania.
More than 14,600 sheep were on the ship, heading to Saudi Arabia on a busy animal export route, when it overturned coming out of the harbour on Sunday afternoon. All of the crew got away safely, but most of the animals are now believed to be dead.
Rescue teams, made up of animal groups and Romanian vets and police, are still working in the ship, cutting holes through the walls to reach inaccessible sections. But conditions are getting worse and the chances of finding any surviving animals are diminishing.
“You have to climb along the dark corridors, wade through the water and clamber over the sheep bodies while you search,” says Kuki Bărbuceanu of the Animal Rescue and Care charity and the Four Paws animal welfare organisation. Bărbuceanu is a veteran disaster relief operator who specialises in animal rescue.
“And then you have to get back out, but this time you are carrying a 50–60kg sheep. It is pretty exhausting work.” The smell is getting worse, and although some crew are wearing gas masks, Bărbuceanu says that interferes with the hard physical labour of carrying out sheep.
He has been working on the ship since Tuesday, when he and his crew reached the harbour. Alongside them have been vets from the veterinarian authority ANSVSA, and Romanian emergency workers. As of Thursday afternoon, 250 sheep had been rescued from the ship.
However, the ultimate fate of the surviving sheep is still in question. They are currently in quarantine and being looked after by the export company, Maria Trading. There have been some anxieties expressed by activists that the Saudi import company that bought them will reclaim them, and that they will be put on the next export ship.
Campaign groups are seeking to take the animals and find them sanctuaries where they can munch away to a peaceful old age. A statement from Maria Trading to the Guardian confirmed that they are giving food and shelter to the rescued animals and added: “The Romanian veterinary health authority is the only concerned party which will decide when and where the rescued animals will be transferred.”
Requests for comment to the veterinary authorities have not yet been returned.
“It’s what they deserve,” says Bărbuceanu. “They survived all this, they deserve a nice old age.”
Legislation currently going through the Romanian parliament would tighten regulations around the country’s live export trade, which has grown fivefold since 2000. Romania is one of the main routes out of Europe into the Middle East.
The live export trade continues to grow both inside and out of Europe, despite continued public opposition. European live animal exports rose from a value of $1bn (£800m) in 2000 to $3.3bn in 2018.
Meanwhile, MEPs in the European parliament have agreed to debate the live export trade in December, Dutch MEP Anja Hazecamp (above) told the Guardian.
“There has been a lot of talk so far, but not enough action,” said Gabriel Paun of Animals International.
