Did you know it?
that black cats usually stay longer in the shelter than their conspecifics with different colored fur?
“I don’t bring bad luck”
Superstition, fear, prejudice, and last but not least, infected stupidity: The reasons are so different but mostly nonsensical.
We send our message now and here, share it and you can help us to clear up these stupid prejudices:
Free of legends, myths, and prejudices, black cats and dogs are simply lovable creatures who would be in seventh heaven if they finally found their family, their new owner and a great home!
Black animals are just as beautiful, playful, cuddly, cute, funny, and elegant as their conspecifics and they bring just as much happiness and love into our lives.

The Melbourne Cup is the “disgrace that stops the nation”, yet some Australian companies continue to sponsor this unethical spectacle.
Anyone with an ounce of humanity can see that whipping sensitive animals in order to win money is depraved.
Then there’s the fact that the horses often die trying. In 2018, 5-year-old Irish Thoroughbred The Cliffsofmoher fell badly, breaking his shoulder. He was killed shortly thereafter.
Other casualties include Verema in 2013, Admire Rakti and Araldo in 2014, Red Cadeaux in 2015, and Regal Monarch in 2017.
While no concrete figures exist for “wastage” – that is, foals bred but never registered for racing – estimates suggest there are approximately 2,000 such horses in the industry per year.
Because these animals never represent a return on investment, they’re destroyed or neglected – and some are even left to starve.
Take Action!
Sponsors foot the bill for much of the Melbourne Cup race day, paying for advertising and expensive marquees at the track.
And I mean…The total prize money of the Melbourne Cup is approximately $ 7.3 million, of which a good half goes to the winner.
Elegant hats, high bets – and lots of alcohol: a national spectacle with a dark side, the massive animal suffering.
The Melbourne Cup is the party of the year in Australia, what the Australians call “Folk festival“.
Monarchs go too, like Prince Charles with his Camilla.
Horses are flight animals who are forced to take risks in races that they would never voluntarily take.
For high prize money, the unscrupulous horse mafia accepts lung hemorrhages, aortic tears, and stomach ulcers approvingly.
The overload often leads to falls with serious consequences or to so-called aortic ruptures, in which the main artery of the heart ruptures with the result that the animal bleeds internally within a very short time.
Bloody nostrils can be observed in many animals shortly after a race.
It is not nosebleed, but bleeding from the lungs.
Racehorses are tortured and beaten to the point of death. They either die on the racetrack or end up in the slaughterhouse as soon as their performance deteriorates.
Who thinks that’s good?
Only persons who are directly or indirectly involved in this billion-dollar business. There is no justification whatsoever for the cruelty inflicted on these animals.
According to press reports, 20 horses die every year in Germany on the track or immediately after the race, eight horses in 2019 alone.
How many are killed in training is unknown.
Horses are sentient and sensitive animals. They are not sports equipment made of metal or plastic.
We are all responsible for making horse racing stop.

We suffer from the law as much as we suffer from crime.
We have a criminal-friendly judiciary, a “tolerant” society, and corrupt systems that promote both.
Injustice and violence threaten the weak on all sides.
That’s why we decided to fight for animals.
No god or law will care about their rights.
We do it.

It is also known as cognitive dissonance. What is cognitive dissonance?
First of all,Leon Festinger’s theory: cognitive dissonance is an emotional state that is perceived as unpleasant, and that arises when one has several cognitions that are not compatible with one another.
Let’s take a few examples of cognitive dissonances, e.g.
-Animal welfare is important to you, but you still continue to eat meat
-You don’t have a lot of money to spare, but still buy the new cell phone.
-Your health is important to you, but you still smoke 1/2 packet a day, etc….
We mostly know what is right and what is good, but we’re still doing the wrong thing!
When it comes to dissonance in our behavior towards animals, it gets the name “meat paradox”.
The “meat paradox” is the “psychological conflict between people’s dietary preference for meat and their moral response to animal suffering”.
The meat-eaters argue that “bringing harm to others is inconsistent with a view of oneself as a moral person. As such, meat consumption leads to negative effects for meat-eaters because they are confronted with a view of themselves that is unfavorable: “how can I be a good person and also eat meat?”

The Nuremberg zoo is considering killing the male lion Subali.
The animal is apparently sterile. In the zoo, they speak of a “species protection dilemma”(!!)
Rescue for the lion is still possible.
The male lion Subaliwith his dark mane is one of the biggest attractions in the Nuremberg zoo. Since the lion came to the zoo in August 2018, the zookeepers have been waiting for offspring.
So far in vain.
Because the lioness Aarany is much younger, the zoo assumes that it is Subaliand that the 14-year-old lion is sterile.
Subali the lion is threatened with death
The Nuremberg zoo may therefore be forced to kill Subali. Zoo boss Dag Encke brought this up in an interview himself.
He justifies this with the lack of space in the zoo and a “dilemma of species protection”.
It is a statutory mandate of zoos and zoos to “manage populations in order to be able to preserve species in the long term,” said Encke.
If an animal is sterile and you can’t breed, that’s a problem (!!!)
And I mean: Since when has murder been publicly discussed?
Since when have zoos been responsible for species protection?
Since when have the zoos been breeders?
By the way: the zoo in Nuremberg is extremely outdated, for this reason, the zoo director has no right to talk about species protection.
The animals cannot be kept in a species-appropriate manner.
The griffin cannot fly, the cheetah lies in the sand all day, surrounded by walls, the giraffe has only 30 meters to run. Really tragic.
So far, no other zoo wants to take Subali.
It is possible to transfer the animal to another zoo.
But which zoo makes room for an old and sterile lion that is no longer making money?
Now the Circus Krone has intervened!!
Which still makes money in wildlife shows and has a very bad reputation as a business.
“I wrote an e-mail to the zoo director. I’ll try to save the lion,” said Martin Lacey, the circus lion trainer.
We can imagine what the trainer understands by rescue.
Some from the zoo business want to kill Subali, others from the circus business want him with whips hit, train, and cart through the country.
And so we give the animal only two alternatives, euthanize or trained and tortured for the rest of his life.
Both are just shit!
