Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

To the international animal transport day…

Around 3.8 million animals are transported every day in the EU alone.

That is 1.4 billion animals a year.

As in all sectors of the economy, animal transport is about money: animals are transported to where the greatest profits are: Pigs are born in Austria, fattened in Spain, and slaughtered in Lebanon.

Animal transports take place under cruel conditions. The longer an animal is transported, the more the animals suffer.

The usual journey time for international animal transports is between 50 and 90 hours.

Horses that are transported from Lithuania to Sardinia are 100 hours in the transporter, cattle that are shipped to the Middle East for a whole week.

It was also decided to end export subsidies for live animal transport to third countries. But due to countless exception rules, which are also laid down by the EU Commission, these laws are completely ineffective.

We have beautiful laws and tons of exceptions!! There are so many exceptions that export subsidies for cattle increased from 58 to 67 million euros between 2002 and 2003!

Until today,  instead of reducing long-distance transport, the EU is still promoting these live animal transports!

Why they are animal transports so lucrative?
Because EU subsidies continue to flow and flow in favor of factory farming, the animal traders and the freight lobby …

This means that instead of reducing long-distance transports, the EU is promoting them until today because the commissioners in Brussels do the best lobby work for the meat industry.

And because, despite the information, despite videos from the hell of animal transports and animal farms, meat-eaters still want to eat dead animals and their products!

But we can change this murderous world order, it must be feasible to awaken conscience in this society. That must be our goal!

Our job is not to complain about, we need struggle and effectiveness.

My best regards to all, Venus

Most people think that they are the owner, the ruler under the other animals.

That is an error.
We are all part of the whole. Our task is to act as protectors and caretakers of the weakest, not that of the exploiters.

Man has responsibility, not power.

Regards and a good night from Venus

Camel fights (Turkish Deve güreşi) is the traditional camel fight in western Anatolia.

This originally probably Yörük (Nomadic) tradition was revived by tourism. And again there are old traditions that are supposed to justify such cruelty to animals.

After all, this is about profit and satisfying the entertainment addiction of tourists and locals.
And how could it be otherwise: Of course there is the right camel meat for the carnivores.

And I mean…When animals are tortured and end up involuntarily and painfully in death, it is no longer tradition, it is much more than that.

It is an industry that the profiteers operate out of greed for money and sell it to the handful of tourists as “culture” or “tradition”.

The main victims of “traditions” are mostly animals because animals cannot defend themselves and are therefore used as available means for every purpose.

Under the guise of tradition, the worst crimes are committed in the animal sector, which is justified as “social”, “normal”, “natural”, or “necessary”.

It is high time for the human species to evolve.

Dear Mark,

I’m sorry to have to bring you this news on a Saturday. Just hours ago, we learned that the live export ship at the centre of a COVID-19 outbreak has been granted an exemption to export 50,000 sheep to Kuwait, despite the summer shipment ban in place.

As recently as last week, the application by the exporter to ship these animals was denied, on the basis that doing so could be catastrophic for the animals on board. But today, we have learnt that a second application by the exporter RETWA has been approved, and the Al Kuwait ship will be loaded to leave within days.

In reading the details of the decision made by the industry regulator, it is very clear that the commercial interests of the exporter has been prioritised over animal welfare. Inconceivably, the Regulator sought to justify this in stating:

“I found that the Australian public would expect that in deciding whether or not to grant the exemption, the Secretary (or his delegate) would have due regard to the rationale underlying the prohibition and balance the impact on the exporter and industry against the risk to the health and welfare of livestock.”

As you know, the majority of the Australian public are appalled that live animal export even exists, and have no sympathy for an industry that has built its enormous profits on mass animal suffering. To suggest otherwise, and use the Australian public as one of the justifications to grant an exemption, is outrageous, and exactly why your MP needs to hear from you today.

Please spare a moment to take action now »

We have urgently gathered our legal team together this morning to examine whether any avenues exist to appeal this decision. I don’t want to get your hopes up, because when this legislation was written, limiting any ability to appeal decisions would have been front of mind. But, be assured that if an avenue does exist — we will do all things possible to explore it and protect these animals.

Thank you as always for your kind heart, and for providing these animals awaiting export with a voice today.

I will be in touch soon with more.

For the animals,
Lyn

Hunters like to call themselves conservationists and often claim that they take care of nature and the animals in their territory.

The fact that hunters kill wild animals is inherently contradictory – but did you know that animals are even bred specifically for hunting and then released so that hunters can shoot them as live targets during hunts?

Pheasants offered on eBay for 10 euros to kill

This is common practice when hunting pheasants, ducks, and partridges.
Hunters buy the animals and release them to kill before hunting.

For example, pheasants can be bought for 10 to 20 euros on eBay or in pheasant shops, where thousands of them are bred in a confined space.

On some websites, the animals are offered depending on the season at a unit price of 10 to 14 euros. Even more macabre: When purchasing larger quantities, there is often a discount of up to 50%.

It also often happens that animals are shot but not immediately killed.

They then flee in panic, with gunshot wounds on the body or on the wings, until they succumb to their injuries and die after several days of agony.

And I mean…EVERYTHING that hunters do, no matter what they say and what they actually do, serves only ONE goal:  to preserve the hunt!
Hunting is a murderous hobby. No more, no less!

NO hunter in Europe has been forced to hunt.
Especially here in Germany, nobody is forced to lease a hunting ground and no one is forced to take part in a hunt for a fee.
Those who hunt kill for pure pleasure.

What state of mind can I expect from someone who cowardly shoots an animal from the ambush while it is eating, although he does not need his flesh and skin for life at all and then he calls it  “hobby”, “nature conservation”, “species protection”, “disease protection” or “tradition”?

So if a hunter stands here and claims to be a conservationist, he is lying.
Hunters want to kill. No more and no less!

My best regards to all, Venus

Portugal, 17.03.2020

This Tuesday morning, on the N17-1 road, near the exit to the Industrial Area of ​​Alto do Padrão (between Miranda do Corvo and Lousã), a truck carrying pigs to the slaughterhouse collapsed, having been in the situation that you can see in the video. The driver of the vehicle, we found, was not injured.
But the animals it carried, yes.

We were unable to provide support as the road was closed.
But we managed to register some images so that everyone can see and hear the suffering of these animals.

According to the information that arrived at the site, about 100 animals died.

But that was not all we found: the scene was of many dead pigs, but even more pigs in agony. Bleeding, with broken legs, with a broken spine, dying … an authentic Dante scene.

At the end of the day, more than 9 hours later, we returned to the place. Some animals had already been taken, but many pigs were still there, clearly very injured.

It should also be noted that, when they realized that we were filming this violence, they turned off the truck lights and tried to get the GNR to expel us from the place.

There are not enough words to describe the horror that happened today. So we let the screams of these animals speak for us.

Where’s our empathy ?! How is it possible that these situations continue to happen?

And I mean…The next day, a pig that survived the accident was still at the scene.
More than 24 hours later.

Would an injured person ever be forgotten at an accident site?
No, never!
Because the law protects human animals.
There is no law to protect non-human animals.
Therefore, according to the law, these pigs are viewed as objects that have no right to life.

Their life belongs to someone, their body belongs to someone, there is no RIGHT to protect these animals.

Many wondered how the accident happened, what was the reason.

The correct question is: Am I one of the REASONS for this accident? I, the meat consumer?

Am I the one responsible for their hell life, their agonizing transports, their brutal death in the slaughterhouse?

If there is demand, there will be an offer. And as long as there is demand, these “accidents” will continue to happen because of thousands of trucks like these transport millions of sentient beings to an inhuman death every day.

We want this industry to be smashed in the next 10 years.
There is no point in fighting for “organic” farming, shorter transports, and larger cages.

You can only get out and use your personal behavior, your personal diet, to inflict the death blow on this death industry.

Stop eating animals and their products.
Stop cooperating with this fascist system of exploitation.

My best regards to all, Venus

WAV Comment – we did a post about the Pangolin a few months ago – you can read it here:

https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2020/02/16/15-2-is-world-pangolin-day-learn-more-about-these-wonderful-animals-now-critically-endangered-due-to-man/

https://ladyfreethinker.org/endangered-pangolins-finally-removed-from-chinas-traditional-medicine-list/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email

In a hopeful step toward protecting wild animals and public health, China has removed the endangered pangolin from its official list of traditional medicines. The decision comes days after the country’s State Forestry and Grassland Administration (SFGA) increased the pangolin’s protection status to the highest possible level because of the creatures’ dwindling population.

Pangolins are the world’s most heavily-trafficked animal with around 200,000 poached annually. Their scales are extremely valuable in China’s lucrative black market due to their supposed medicinal qualities, despite scientists affirming that there is currently no known medical benefit.

Holding pangolins captive could be dangerous to human health, as well. Some researchers think the coronavirus may have transmitted to its first human host via a pangolin. More generally, the ongoing global COVID-19 crisis is thought to have originated at a ‘wet market’ in Wuhan, China, drawing widespread attention to the dangers of the live animal trade, which unavoidably brings humans and animals within unnaturally close proximity.

China’s decision to upgrade pangolins’ protection status and remove them from its list of traditional medicines is the latest in a series of legislative moves responding to the current pandemic, including a nationwide ban on the wild animal trade and the government offering to buy out wild animal farmers and transition to plant-based farming.

This is a monumental step in a more humane direction, but truly ending the cruel pangolin trade, which continues despite the ban, remains an uphill battle. Lady Freethinker applauds China’s efforts, but more must be done to protect these innocent creatures.
