an incredible love story

The wild shark immediately recognizes her human best friend and asks for belly scratches 💙

 

Around 100 million sharks are murdered by us humans every year.

According to the “Statista” source, 64 shark attacks to human animals took place worldwide in 2019, two of which were fatal.
We can easily imagine who is the killer here.

Most of the animals die because of their dorsal fin.

In so-called “finning”, the dorsal fin is usually cut off while sharks are still alive. The mutilated animals are then thrown overboard into the sea, where they die in agony.

Their fins are mainly processed into shark fin soup on the Asian market, which tastes of nothing.

In addition, numerous sharks are caught in the oceans and locked up in large aquariums, such as the planned Shark City shark prison, until the end of their lives.
In these facilities, the animals are deprived of everything they need to lead a life appropriate to the species.

Anyone who has been afraid of sharks and rated them as the killer of the sea has read the wrong fairy tales in their childhood or watched the wrong films as adults.

There is no other animal that attacks, tortures, and kills other animals for no reason.

That is just human animals, the crowning glory of idiocy.

My best regards to all, Venus

At 6:00 pm yesterday afternoon a major explosion at the port rocked all of Beirut.
Initial reports of over 100 dead and 4,000 injured.
Beirut has been declared a disaster city.

Entire buildings and homes were destroyed, and significant damage throughout the whole city.
What happened is absolutely shocking.

 

Animals Lebanon’s office was damaged and windows blew out. Animals were injured from the glass and there were bloody prints everywhere by the time we could make it to the office.

We rushed some animals to the vet for urgent care from the cuts

 

We have repairs to make at the office, emergency vet bills for our own animals, and now putting all our effort into helping others with their injured or lost animals.
We will share more updates but still trying to understand this new reality everyone is dealing with.

Indonesia: Orangutan who lost both his arms on an electric fence while trying to escape from captivity learns how to climb and find food using only his legs.

Indonesia

A smiling Kopral did not alwyas have an easy life

 

'Kopral has mastered the ability to climb trees and forage for natural food using only his legs. This has allowed him to develop into a relatively independent individual,' a spokesperson from the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation has said

The bravest ape: Orangutan who lost both his arms on an electric fence while trying to escape from captivity learns how to climb and find food using only his legs as he prepares to return to the jungle

  • Orangutan Kopral was electrocuted when trying to flee cage where his captors kept him in Indonesia

  • The young animal’s horrifying injuries were so bad that both of his arms had to be removed 

  • He was rescued and brought under care of Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation who taught him key skills

  • He now lives in an island complex in Samboja Lestari which resembles a natural environment

A brave orangutan who lost both his arms trying to escape captors has finally ‘graduated’ from ‘Forest School’ after learning the skills he needs to survive.

Kopral was electrocuted when he climbed an electricity pylon in a bid to escape captors who had been keeping him in a cage in Indonesia as a pet since he was a baby.

The youngster was brought to the East Kalimantan Orangutan Reintroduction Program by taxi, but his arms were severely burnt and nothing could be done to save them.

Despite his horrific start in life, Kopral has excelled in his ‘Forest School’ – a rehabilitation programme designed to teach orangutans how to build nests, climb trees, select appropriate natural foods and recognise natural predators.

the inhabitants of oceans

The oceans are a great place of incredible natural beauty…

There is only one animal on this planet that destroys not only the oceans but the entire planet and its inhabitants through excessive, daily, global mass murder! that is the human animal.

Animal species are dying out at a rapid rate, plant species are dying out at a rapid rate.

Humanity is growing at a rapid pace because the man believes that his life is of the greatest importance or relevance to the universe.

That is man, the crown of idiocy, a joke of evolution, a bad comedy on the stage of the universe –

What will be in the future?
In a short time, humanity will face itself alone on a cemented earth and experience all mercilessness and brutality firsthand.

He will experience the same brutality with which he, out of ignorance and anthropocentrism, destroyed the diversity and beauty of life.

Best regards and a good night from Venus

Hogwood Wins !

HOGWOOD has won an award for outstanding film-making at the British Documentary Film Festival!

https://mailchi.mp/viva.org.uk/hogwood-wins?e=26c03356b8

Last month we announced that HOGWOOD had been nominated for an award at the British Documentary Film Festival. Now, we are very excited to announce that HOGWOOD has won!

The British Documentary Film Festival is a celebration of exceptional documentary film-making.

Each year, they screen the very best indie documentaries at a prestigious premiere in London. HOGWOOD was selected as a finalist for two award categories – the ‘Best British Short’ and the ‘Wild Animal Award’ – and was named the winner of the Wild Animal Award!

This category celebrates documentaries that capture animals and wildlife in a creative and engaging way. We were faced with fierce competition, especially as many of the other nominees focused on more mainstream topics such as conservation efforts, exotic species, and even ‘sustainable farming’. HOGWOOD must have made a strong impression on the judges and we couldn’t be more proud!

We Should Stop Thinking Of Meat As ‘Man Food’, Says Men’s Health

The tide may be turning on the idea that meat is ‘man food’, according to a recent article by Men’s Health magazine.

The piece, titled We Need to Get Over the Idea of ‘Man Food’, says ‘the red-blooded man has long worn questionable eating habits as a badge of honor. But, with veganism on the rise, is the tide turning at last?’.Thanks for watching!Visit Website

It looks at the food assumptions we make culturally – for example, ‘man food conjures pies, steaks, burgers, fast food, greasy spoons, kebab shops, chicken shops, curry houses, beer, whisky, full-sugar Coke’ and ‘female foods’ include salad, yogurt, quinoa, muesli, and Diet Coke – and questions them.

The Game Changers

The piece suggests that the rise of veganism is contributing the changing ideas about ‘man food’, citing highly-acclaimed documentary The Game Changers as a major influence.

It mentions one of the film’s executive producers – and quintessential muscle man Arnold Schwarzenegger – saying ‘if you don’t think that real men eat quinoa, Wilks’ fanboys – who now include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren and Mike Tyson – might like a quiet word with you’.

The piece adds: “In The Game Changers, Wilks is not only keen to destroy the idea that meat is man food – he hopes to go one step further and create a new type of man food. ‘Everyone should be on this diet’, he tells me.” ebsite

‘Thought-provoking’

Sharing the piece via Instagram, The Game Changers team described it as ‘thought-provoking’, and shared a quote from the article which describes James Wilks as ‘[pummeling] the idea that ‘real men’ eat meat into a whimpering heap’.

However, the team also notes: “The final section [of the article] also contains factual errors, like that the Roman gladiators were fed the cheapest possible diet (a myth we address in The Game Changers), and features questionable advice from a ‘food engineer’ at a male fertility company that sells, amongst other things, animal-based supplements.

“Barring these bits, the article is a great read and a strong sign that The Game Changers continues to make waves around the world.”
