On September 3, 1939, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced to the BC that Britain had declared war on Germany.
At that moment something happened that almost no one has ever mentioned. Without the authorities’ requests, around 400,000 dogs and cats (26% of the animals that lived with their families in London) were sacrificed in the first four days of World War II.
Pets were dying all over the city these days. Veterinary clinics and animal shelters were busy with an unprecedented extermination facility. A large operator ordered night shifts because the work could not be done otherwise.
People had brought their favorites here to have them killed. Hundreds of the citizens stood neatly lined up in front of a small animal shelter in north London.
Cats and dogs were waiting with them. Life ended here for the animals.
The dog protection association ran out of chloroform to put to sleep; the helpers had to electrocute the dogs.
Many companies soon no longer knew what to do with the carcasses. Most of them were taken to a large sanatorium for animals that had offered a meadow on its grounds in an emergency.
Today there is not even a plaque to commemorate the mass grave.
How did the pet massacre, this collective hysteria, come about in a country that sees itself as fond of animals?
And I mean…It should be noted that this great massacre took place long before the bombing of London began, long before the people really felt the effects of the armed conflict.
It was not an inevitable result of the war, but an individual decision that became collective.
But perhaps what’s most shocking about this unprecedented mass action was that none of it was done out of any real necessity.
Rather the owners took the fateful decision to have their pets euthanized because they believed they were doing the best by their animals.
Somehow, the memory of how hard dogs and cats suffered during the First World War triggered this collective madness as soon as it became known that a new war was coming.
People would rather do that than see their animal starve.
This mass killing of pets is a tragic and shameful episode in history, but at the beginning of the corona pandemic, almost 90 years after the London massacre, the same massacre is taking place across Europe.
In China, there were many pets that were sold or given away, in Germany many farm animals were killed or gassed, and mass death still threatens zoo animals everywhere.
Back then it was the war, today Corona is the cause.
It is always the weak one, these without rights, the voiceless, who falls as the victim.
The story repeats itself, but human animals are not capable of learning.
My best regards to all, Venus

Coronavirus deaths in the Netherlands have plummeted. Still, the government has ordered the slaughter of 10,000 captive mink, the first sign of a potential US-style mass cull.
Bred in captivity for their fur, mink are subjected to some appalling conditions throughout their short lives. However, the coronavirus pandemic has introduced a new threat to the lives of these creatures.
After their handlers infected mink on Dutch farms with Covid-19 in April, and after at least two farm workers caught the disease off the mink, the Dutch government ordered 10,000 of the animals to be culled on Wednesday.
Farmworkers in protective clothing will gas the mink en masse before a disposal plant takes care of the bodies and the farms are disinfected (!!!)
In the course of the coming days, all eight affected companies should be cleared. There are still around 150 fur farms in the Netherlands.
From 2024, breeding mink is prohibited after a court decision.
And I mean…The authority speaks of the evacuation of the fur farms and the gassing of the animals.
As if we were in Hitler’s time.
Has the Dutch government never heard of a release?
Even if part of the mink is run over, the rest will live in freedom.
THAT would be a humane solution.
But because criminal governments provide support to the mass murderers in the animal industry, the 10,000 mink have to fall a victim.
It looks like a financial bankruptcy of this branch in the Netherlands.
Hopefully, the operators commit suicide..
My best regards to all, Venus

Dead black bear dumped in ditch; hunter ticketed for littering
EDMONTON — The body of a black bear was dumped illegally in a ditch near Lloydminster on Sunday, Alberta Fish and Wildlife said.
Officers determined the bear had been shot legally on private land, but that the carcass was improperly disposed of.
The person who shot the bear was ticketed for littering, Fish and Wildlife said.
“Owners or occupants of privately owned land or any person authorized to keep livestock on public land may, without a licence, hunt (but not trap) black bear on such lands, at all times of the year,” a Government of Alberta spokesperson said.
The woman who reported the carcass, Angie Atkinson, says bears are a common sight in the area.
“We’re not that far from the North Saskatchewan River, so there’s lots of ravines,” said Atikinson. “Once in a while, I’ll see scat along the road but they’re just trotting down the road and don’t seem to be much of a problem.”
Officials say animal carcasses should be disposed of at a waste management facility or on private land.

A banana-shaped snout that houses a sticky, 60-centimeter tongue. A bushy tail that serves as a cover.
Large anteaters appear like a whim of nature, but they are one thing above all: an ingenious invention of evolution.
They live in South and Central America and feed exclusively on ants and termites.
Fortunately, its meat tastes very bitter for people.
That is why they have been around for 57 million years.
It is hardly hunted and has almost no natural predators.
These charismatic exotic species are only seriously threatened today by the robbery of their habitat and road traffic.
We love them 
Regards and have a good night, Venus
