what is extreme?

 

Anonymous for the Voiceless

 

Non-vegans pay for throat slitting, executions, gas chambers, rape, slavery, and being ground up alive, yet those same people will claim that simply NOT contributing to these acts of violence is somehow extreme.

How in the world can not viciously murdering someone be considered extreme, but actually viciously murdering someone is perfectly normal and sane?

In what version of the real world does this make any remote logical or morally consistent sense other than in some sort of Twilight Zone?

And I mean…We are destroying the habitat from billions of wild animals because we need space for billions of “useful” animals to eat them.
We keep them as slaves and pump them full of antibiotics so that they get sick.

Then we eat these sick animals and as a result we also get sick.
Then we kill millions of experimental animals in the same barbaric way to develop medicines for diseases that we won’t have had (mostly) if we did not eat animals.

This is the perverse and absurd cycle of exploitation, who owes its existence to billions of meat eaters.

But the only honest argument of all carnivores, why they eat meat is that they give a shit about animal suffering.

be more like a Bat…

 

‘As usual, the hate for Bats is increasing because they are believed to be the reason why the COVID-19 started. Yet, they are skipping the part of how Bats were being shot out of the sky and eaten as a delicacy for pure pleasure.

Besides how eating animals is the most common creator of these viral diseases such as H1N1, Ebola, SARS and Mad Cow, I wanted to share a few facts about Bats:

-Over 500 plant species rely on bats to pollinate their flowers, including species of mango, banana, durian, guava and agave.

-Estimates from studies show that some bats eat more than 70% of their weight in insects each night and some pregnant females at 100% of their body weight (that’s a lot of insects!).

-Production of at least one third of the world’s food, including 87 of the 113 leading food crops, depends on pollination carried out by bats.

Now, outside of their benefit for mankind, they are Beings who feel, think and love. They are mothers, they have friends, they have a community.

Ask yourself, do YOU help the natural world? Would nature collapse without you? Do you only consume her or do you give back to her and help her animals?

We all share this Earth, be more like a Bat.’

…I know another animal that carries much more deadly viruses.
And it`s spreading those over the planet with its fucking human rights.

Germany: 2.500 piglets burned alive!

 

Terrible fire drama in Herne, Germany!

A pigsty near the city limits of Bochum was on fire on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 afternoon.

 

The column of smoke reached several hundred meters into the blue sky.

Eyewitnesses reported a loud bang before the fire broke out.

The police announced on Thursday (March 19, 2020) that, to date, everything indicated a technical defect (!!!). In order to be able to completely rule out arson, one has to wait for the results of the investigation next week.

The fire brigade was on site in the afternoon with around 100 emergency services.

All 2500 piglets died in the flames, the Bochum police said on Thursday morning.

A 30-year-old employee was seriously injured and was flown to a special clinic by rescue helicopter.

He continues to be in mortal danger.

 

In addition, a fireman was slightly injured and is now fine. The barn has been completely destroyed, the fire fighting continued until late at night.

The building has partly collapsed.

And I mean…To date, 93 “Corona” deaths have been reported in Germany.
The horror reports are hourly.

2500 dead living beings in a few hours and that’s no news.
When it comes to animals, death is not a tragedy.
Death is a tragedy only for people.

The stall fires in Germany have increased suspect this year.
The number of victims burned to date in German stables is over 10,000.

But nobody cares! everyone is busy with the supply of his toilet paper.

My best regards to all, Venus

and people get excited about a curfew..

 

 

For us human animals, the lock will soon be over.
The life of the non-human animals is an eternal Treblinka.
Carnivores! now that we all have to stay at home, finally learn to cook vegan!

My best regards to all, Venus

 

Coronavirus: The Hammer and the Dance

 

I don’t have a “good night” post for you today, dear friends.
But for that, a brilliant article about Corona that has to be read by everyone.
From everyone who wants to be informed.

It is factual, scientific and does exactly what our incompetent governments cannot do: namely it gives solutions and starting points.

Czech Republic: sharp laws against animal organized crime

 

Czech Republic: Targeted Strike Against Animal Torture and Puppy Mafia!

 

At the beginning of March 2020, the Czech parliament voted in favor of a harsher punishment for torturers, puppy dealers and illegal breeders. With the support of the President, cruelty to animals will soon face severe punishments. With the change in the law, the Czech Republic is taking a role model for other European countries!

 

After the law has come into force, cruelty to animals is expected to be imprisoned for up to six years.
This can also be pronounced without probation if there were no other crimes before.

Illegal breeding facilities were redefined as criminal offenses in order to be able to deal with their handling of dogs and cats in a way that is contrary to animal welfare.

 

Anyone who still operates such illegal breeding facilities can face up to ten years in prison or a fine of up to 200,000 euros.

My comment: If you enter the word “dog puppy” in Google, over 100,000 results appear. First place: eBay classifieds.
Yes! the platform has long since not only sold second-hand goods, but also living beings.

The business with puppies on the Internet is booming: it is estimated that over a million dogs are offered each year, making eBay classified ads one of the largest trading centers for the pet trade in Germany.

A study that has now been published shows that the total sales value is projected to be over one billion euros per year – mostly it is criminal traders who sell puppies via the platform.

More than ever the animal shelters are overcrowded today, up to 70,000 pets came to a shelter in Germany during the summer vacation season alone.

We are a consumer society, just as we consume meat and eggs, so we “consume” pet animals. If a purchased item does not work, we order the next one online.

Do not buy animals on the Internet or from breeders!

Go to an animal shelter and spend a day there, you will surely find your future friend.

 

Thanks to the corona virus, we’re all on holidays now!

5 Deadly Diseases Linked to the Meat and Dairy Industries

Posted by Jason Bales | March 16, 2020

The meat and dairy industries, especially those that sell live animals directly to consumers, are breeding grounds for deadly diseases and illnesses. Cows, chickens, pigs, birds, and others are crammed into small buildings and cells, bringing together thousands of animals in very tight spaces. If one animal is sick, the rest of the population is immediately at risk.

Such disregard for these creatures’ health and wellbeing is both abusive to animals and dangerous to humans. From dirty air and water to the overuse of antibiotics, the meat and dairy industries are perpetuating the spread of bacterial infections, especially antibiotic-resistant strains, viruses, and other zoonotic diseases.

With the recent COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, the world is starting to realize the dangers of animal agriculture, and it’s about time. Fortunately, changing the way we treat animals can help avoid these pandemics in the future.

Here are 5 deadly diseases linked to the meat and dairy industries:

1. COVID-19 (2019 Novel Coronavirus)

While the jury is still out on which animal is ultimately responsible for COVID-19’s jump to humans, scientists and other experts are confident the virus originated in bats and spread to humans through a Chinese wet market.

At these wet markets, animals, both alive and dead, and people are put into close proximity, creating an ideal environment for viruses and other diseases to spread from host to host.

“Poorly-regulated, live-animal markets mixed with illegal wildlife trade,” the Wildlife Conservation Society said in a statement, “offer a unique opportunity for viruses to spillover from wildlife hosts into the human population.”

Fortunately, China and other Asian countries are starting to crack down on wildlife trading. Proposals to ban the dog and cat meat trade are being considered, China has outlawed eating wildlife, and Vietnam might permanently ban their wildlife meat trade. Hopefully, this pandemic shows the importance of animal welfare for both animals and humans.

2. H1N1 (Swine Flu)

Before the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the last time the World Health Organization declared a pandemic was for the swine influenza. H1N1, which is the term given to the variant virus that eventually jumped from pigs to humans, was first discovered in April 2009. By April 2010, the CDC estimated that anywhere from 151,000 to 575,000 people died globally as a result of the H1N1 pandemic.

Swine flu likely originated due to frequent contact between farm workers and pigs combined with unsanitary factory-farming conditions and a lack of concern for animal welfare. Unfortunately, once the genie is let out of the bottle, there isn’t much we can do to put it back. To this day, H1N1 circulates as a seasonal flu virus.

 

3. H5N1 (Bird Flu)

Also called avian influenza, bird flu can jump from chickens and other poultry livestock to humans. Though never as severe as swine flu, avian influenza A viruses H5, H7, and H9 have infected people, with the H5N1 and H7N9 strains being the most common.

Since 2013, at least 1,500 people fell victim to H7N9 and over 600 died as a result of their illnesses. While these statistics pale in comparison to both the COVID-19 and H1N1 pandemics, they do show how increased exposure to sick birds is a dangerous game to play. With over 9 billion chickens slaughtered every year in the United States alone, the opportunity for zoonotic spillover is concerning.

4. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is not a virus like the novel coronavirus, swine flu, or bird flu. Rather, it’s a bacterial infection – a staph infection to be more specific. Staphylococcus aureus is a dangerous bacteria that can cause pneumonia, heart valve infections, and bone infections, though it is typically treated with methicillin. Unfortunately, likely due to a severe overuse of antibiotics, Staphylococcus aureus became resistant to methicillin, and MRSA was born.

How is all of this related to the meat and dairy industry? The FDA currently allows farmers to administer antibiotics to their livestock as a “disease prevention” tactic, leaving meat- and dairy-consuming humans to massively and unknowingly overuse these important drugs.

“To keep these miracle drugs working when sick people and animals need them,” Interim Director of Food and Agriculture at the Natural Resources Defense Council, Lena Brook, said, “[the] FDA must end the widespread practice of using these drugs for so-called ‘disease prevention’ and set clear targets for antibiotics reduction in [the meat and dairy industries].”

If we don’t drastically change our current food system, a U.N. report estimates that over 10 million people per year will die from drug-resistant infections by 2050. The easiest way to ensure you’re not ingesting unnecessary antibiotics is to adopt a plant-based diet.

5. Salmonella

Salmonella is the most frequently reported foodborne bacterial infection in the United States. It’s typically transmitted from contaminated animal meat, eggs, or dairy and infects the intestinal tract. If it happens to move beyond the intestinal tract, salmonella is deadly, though most typically recover within 48 to 72 hours.

Unfortunately, like MRSA, salmonella is starting to develop immunities to certain antibiotics, which makes treating severe cases much more difficult for health professionals. As more animals are forced to live in closer proximity to others, factory farms ignore animal welfare standards, and environmental protections aren’t awarded to those that live near these facilities, salmonella outbreaks could increase in frequency.

We must start working toward a cruelty-free food system. Our lives, and the lives of billions of animals around the world, depend on it.
