Suddenly they were there! The green crosses of wood, covered with white signs. But what is behind it?
On 4 September 2019, the State Agriculture Minister Julia Klöckner and Federal Environment Minister Svenja Schulze have decided, inter alia, that the cancer weed killer glyphosate from 2024 completely, and particularly harmful pesticides in most nature reserves will be already banned.
The insect killing is to be contained with it.
The farmers should also create retreat areas for insects, the federal government wants to identify more biotopes. With 100 million euros, research on insect repellent is to be supported.
Even the controversial animal welfare label will come.
In addition, more agricultural subsidies, which have so far been paid mainly for the simple possession of land, should finance environmental projects by farmers, for example.
The farmers have organized a rebellion under the “Farmer Willi”.
Currently, the “farmer Willi” calls all farmers to protest with green wooden crosses in their fields against the “agricultural package” of the Federal Government.
But in his statements he often advocates the interests of agrochemical companies such as Bayer AG.
“Bayer / Monsanto, Syngenta, Gene-Lobby & Co. see their profit interests by the “agricultural package” massively endangered, but psychologically clever as they are, do not act on their own, but send targeted “farmer Willi, the small farmers & rural women “before.
Behind the ridiculous crosses is actually a nationwide campaign.. “Protect the farmers by a yes to the poison and factory farming”.
Similar PR actions and the enormous power of the agricultural lobby in the past have led to massive groundwater problems with nitrate in Germany.
The farmers say,“The package is” so closely tied up “that it takes away the air of many companies to breathe.
In agriculture, this would result in a significant land loss of many areas, and the use of many resources should be massively reduced. This is an encroachment on our property values, as areas would be worthless and could no longer be used for food production.
Furthermore, there is a high risk of “falling yields” and threatens a decline in regional products.
At last, a high price for an animal welfare indicator, in view of the many already existing labels on the market, no one needs more “!!
And we say: In reality, it’s the other way around:
If the soil continues to be poisoned,
the insects continue to die,
the groundwater continues to be contaminated
and our food continues to deteriorate,
then our diet will destroy our lives.
So we see the crosses in the fields as a symbol of death, exploitation, and destruction of the animal and nature world. And we consider this abuse of Christian symbols for poison, glyphosate and factory farming not only ridiculous, but a sign of farmer primitiveness.

“The real scandal is not the price, but that animals are traded, abused, exploited and murdered”.
Calves now cost less than nine euros, according to SPIEGEL-MAGAZIN information. Such cheap prices are “the sad side effect of industrial agriculture,” says the Green Party politician Ostendorff (full member of the Committee on Food and Agriculture).
Cattle breeders in Germany are currently facing an unprecedented drop in prices.
A black and white cow calf was still worth 8.49 euros in October.
This follows from the response of the Ministry of Agriculture to the Federal MEP Parliament, Friedrich Ostendorff,according to the information of an industrial service.
Market restrictions due to bluetongue are responsible for the price erosion, according to the ministry.
Transport restrictions, such as to Spain, have recently led to an oversupply of female calves, which cost just under 30 euros in June.
The German Agriculture Minister Julia Klöckner had expressed in a letter to her Bavarian counterparts doubt (!!!) whether such transports are compatible with the EU Regulation. A few weeks old animals are often over 19 hours in the truck on the way.
Animal welfare, according to Ostendorff, that is not.
Hubertus Paetow, President of the German Agricultural Society, says that the problem has a far greater dimension:
“The calf has no real place in the value chain and so it ends up being squandered in principle,” he told the magazineFrankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
“Calves are co-products of milk production”(!!!)
But with the restrictions alone, the price decline is hardly explainable. The green agricultural expert considers other reasons more important: The cheap prices are “the sad side effect of industrial agriculture,” says Ostendorff.
“The intensive milk production also leads to too many calves being produced for the market.”
Ottmar Ilchmann of the Association of Farming Agriculture considers the prices for a scandal: “There a calf costs less than a canary bird.” The one-sided breeding of certain breeds only on milk yield makes their offspring for the mast uneconomical. In addition, the food supplies are scarce due to the drought.
“These thin calves are often no longer considered animals, but only as damage.”
My comment: In this one sentence manifests the perversion of industrial meat- and milk mafia:
“These thin calves are often no longer considered animals, but only as damage.”
In the concentration camps of the Nazis, about 6 million human victims were murdered and also raped, tortured… Client: none (or one)!
In the concentration camps of the perpetrators of the 21st century, about 900 million (Germany) and 70-75 billion (worldwide) non-human victims are raped, tortured, tortured and murdered every year.
Client: Billions of carnivorous human animals.
And yet there is one difference: The Nazis did not breed their victims!
The perpetrators of the animal concentration camps are multiplying their (non-human) victims billions!
The crimes of the Nazis ended in 1945!
The crimes committed in the Tier KZ’s of the 21st century, with billions of non-human victims, continue unabated!
This fact proves that the human species belongs to a fascist race, and that out of conviction.

Tonight, like every year, this time on the second weekend of November, pitch balls were stuck to the horns of a bull and set on fire: ‘Toro de Fuego’ is called the burning bull in this way.
In Medinaceli (Spain) a bull will be dragged again with a rope tied in the antlers and chased by a crowd that will surround it to set fire to the metal frame placed on its horns, inches from its face. He will not escape, panic will take over him.
The terror that the animal will feel is indescribable. Try to put out the fire with sudden movements, which can cause serious injuries and even to death.
Due to the fire and heat the mud that covers his face will be released and the sparks of the burning teas will burn his head, the spine and the eyes.
The animal is in pain and runs in panic through the arena, then out onto the streets. In desperation, the bull wants to extinguish the fire and bounces his head against house walls or lanterns.
If he does not die, his fur, his eyes or his horns will burn. Because pitch can not simply be erased: it is a sticky lump of tar or turpentine. The brutal scenes you see in the video.
And I meant…As in ancient Rome, when human sacrifices were offered to the lions as combat objects, the veteran bullfighting mafia provides a bloody spectacle for primitive, asocial, and mentally frail proletarians with the justification of tradition.
The mob wants blood: psychopaths, sadists, and horny tourists clap and roar around the victim during it trys to be free from his painful suffering.
The difference is only the animal species, the crime remains the same.
It’s not just a crime against a defenseless animal.
In the end, the bull is not killed by the fire, but by the cruelty of the executioners, by the madness of those who have given them the power to do it, and by a society that makes it possible because it is silent.

German Animal Protection Office: We discover animal cruelty on Polish fur farms and save Fox Masha!
Dear animal friends,
My name is Denise Weber and I have been involved with the German Animal Protection Office for many years.
During this time I have already seen a lot of animal suffering and uncovered.
But today, I would like to draw your attention to our new undercover research: We reveal the indescribable suffering of the animals on Polish fur farms: a short life in the cage, narrowness, fear and a cruel death waiting for the animals.
For decades we fought together with other animal rights activists in Germany for the fact that there are no more fur farms – with success.
In April of this year the last fur farm of Germany was closed. Although there are no more fur farms in Germany, fur is still sold nationwide on jackets, hats and accessories.
We have therefore investigated the question of where these furs originally came from.
The trail led us in our research into neighboring Poland.
With more than 800-1000 fur farms with a total of more than 5 million fur animals, Poland has become one of the largest fur producers in Europe in recent years.
In recent weeks, we have documented the conditions on the Polish farms and found the worst conditions on the ground: mink, raccoon dogs and foxes, all animals are kept in tiny cage crates and suffer extremely under the conditions.
Mink farms with more than 100,000 animals are not uncommon.
Such farms are not only very large, but are also very well guarded and secured by the fur farmers.
Some farms have built high walls with barbed wire and even watchtowers and video cameras so nobody can look beyond the shiny facade of the fur industry.
Over 8 million mink, fox and raccoon dogs are killed each year in Poland for fur.
Nevertheless, we managed to film with a drone, among other things, how the animals live in such establishments and, above all, suffer. In addition to the huge farms, there are also many small, even together timbered farms with about 100-1,000 animals.
Especially in these small farms we found injured and sick animals.
(Unfortunately, I could not find an English version for the German text of the video. But you can only understand everything by the pictures)
Masha, the little polar vixen, however, had incredible luck, she was not killed and is allowed to live. As part of this undercover research, we have rescued her from a Polish fur farm.
Seeing the suffering of the animals on the fur farms deeply touched and shocked me.
It is inexplicable to me how one can lock a wild animal in a cage and let it suffer so.
But I know, only we can make a difference by not buying fur products and educating fur carriers about the animal tormenting conditions and asking them to stop buying and wearing fur.
So now I’d like to ask you: Share our campaign video with all the people you know so that we can open our eyes to as many people as possible. I am sure that the fate of Masha will cause many people to rethink!
My comment: Poland offers fantastic conditions for the fur industry and not only encourages the locals to build more farms.
One mink can be kept here on an area of 0.18square meters, for each additional animal the legislator plans an additional 0.068 square meters.This corresponds to the EU standards!!
There are the politicians who also earn money with their lobby work for the fur mafia. EU Commission wants to strengthen fur farming with its devious “EU reference center for animal welfare”.
Every year in late autumn, when the coat is thick and fluffy enough, is “harvest time”.
That is, the animals are brutally killed. In foxes, this is usually done by electricity.
The snout is closed with a forceps-shaped electrode and a metal rod inserted into the anus. A surge then kills the animal.
Minks are usually gassed. Then the fur is pulled over the animals’ ears.
In the meantime, a lot of undercover videos have even been shown by the state media, so NOBODY has a “I did not know”.
They are sentient beings who spend a cruel time on this legal Dachau, stand on tight boxes, with grids under their paws, and suffer a cruel death!
They are not invisible products!
They are living beings.
If we want to talk about a civilized world, a similar campaign against the fur should have been started for a long time, as it started with the cigarettes.
