USA: New York Declares State of Emergency Over COVID 19 – Yet Still Has Over 80 Live Animal Markets and Slaughterhouses !!; Which Is Where It All Began – Petition: Shut Them Down.

Newly-slaughtered chicken hangs off the edge of stall table in a Taipei wet market.

 

Although New York recently declared a state of emergency over COVID-19—which came from a live-animal market in China—more than 80 live-animal markets and slaughterhouses are operating in densely populated New York City.

Many other disease outbreaks, such as bird flu, swine flu, and SARS, have sprung up from raising and killing animals for food. Help local activists cut off what could become the next disease outbreak at the source.

Join PETA and Slaughter Free NYC in urging public health officials to shut down these cruel and dangerous live-animal markets immediately.

Tell Health Officials to Shut Down Filthy NYC Live-Animal Markets

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) started in a live-animal market in China and is spreading rapidly in the U.S., where live-animal markets are caging and killing animals while putting public health at risk.

Join PETA and Slaughter Free NYC in urging the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets to shutter New York City’s live-animal markets immediately.

Live-animal markets are blood-soaked slaughterhouses where members of the public can choose live animals, such as chickens and rabbits, who are then slaughtered while the customer waits. Thousands of terrified animals are trucked from factory farms in other states into New York City each day in cramped, filthy crates. They’re often denied food and water, and their throats will be slit.

There are over 80 live-animal markets and slaughterhouses operating in New York City, many of them near schools, parks, and residences. Stressed, injured, and sickly animals are often caged in areas with public access, sometimes even on public sidewalks, where faeces and blood can easily be tracked down sidewalks and into restaurants and homes.

 

for the world day of the stray

 

 

To be a stray means to be alone.
In the cold, heat, without food, without a warm home … alone against everyone.

Being a stray means facing death every day, who often has the face of a human animal that hits you, chases you away, throws stones at you or the wheels of a car that intentionally wants to drive over you …

Being a stray means sharing life in a hell shelter with thousands of others who, like you, fight for food every day and sleep in their shit.

Human indifference and harshness have made them refugees in our society.

They didn’t fall from the sky, they also had a home at some point, they had people and they loved them, but the human animals took the right to take them to the streets because  they were no longer new or beautiful. Just like they do with old shoes.

They gave love, solidarity and loyalty to their people and wanted to be with them forever.
They got hate, contempt, ingratitude for it.

And today they are “this from the street”, the garbage.
And still waiting every day for a miracle, for a home, for a normal life with love and care.

ADOPT a stray, save a life, make reality the impossible dream of an animal being for a warm home and a warm heart.
He will be thankful and loyal to you forever,and  you will have a friend for life!

 

My best regards to all, Venus

 

They own nothing but their lives
and humans take them away.

They are not from the street
they are on the street
because of selfish, irresponsible and heartless humans.

Don’t buy animals
they are not toys to use and throw away, they are family,
for the whole life.

Not betrayals.

 

Meat is the opium of the people

 

Imagine yourself! Blood spurts from your throat, a human starts to cut your head! 

You only have to die because someone wants to eat your meat and drink your mother’s milk.

 

This video is from a new undercover investigation in Italy
And revealed shocking torture against small patches
On the way to the slaughterhouse in the country.

These are the sights in every extermination facility.

 

98 percent of the sheep farmers’ income comes from selling meat. Every year, one million sheep – almost exclusively lambs – are slaughtered in Germany.

Lamb meat is preferred in Germany, but older sheep are also consumed.
A specialty, especially at Easter, is milk lambs – infants who drink from their mother and have never eaten grass, between 8 weeks and half a year old. For this reason they have very light meat, which is considered “buttery soft, tender fiber and low in fat” – baby meat.

More than half of the lamb consumed was and is imported from abroad, mainly from New Zealand and Great Britain. Most sheep live in New Zealand, Australia and China. And these countries don’t just export to the EU.

The largest customers include the countries of the Middle East and North Africa.

 

Although the lamb is the epitome of gentleness and innocence, it is eventually dragged away by its mother to be slaughtered. Some sheep farmers slaughter on their own farm – or the lambs are loaded and transported to the slaughterhouse.

They smell the blood of the other animals and feel their despair.

 

Then electric tongs are placed on the head of the lamb, and a shock is triggered, which causes epileptic cramps and ultimately leads to unconsciousness – whereby the anesthetic is by no means always effective.

Because it happens again and again that animals regain consciousness during slaughter. Sheep are killed by cutting the main artery on the neck, causing them to bleed out.

Masses of animals are slaughtered, things have to be done quickly, the animals are stressed, the workers too.

This leads to mistakes, stunned and obviously there is no one to intervene.

There are animals that are loud in fearful situations. Pigs, for example. Sheep and cattle suffer quietly.

Sheep try to escape, to escape… Slaughterhouses are of course designed so that the animals cannot go anywhere.

 

The “Cormo Express” disaster

A few years ago, the Cormo Express caused one of the worst known incidents. The transport ship had 58,000 sheep on board and was on its way from Australia to Saudi Arabia when a viral disease broke out among the animals.

When Saudi Arabia prevented the ship from entering, almost 30 other countries followed, refusing to land. It was only after more than two months at sea that a port could be found in Eritrea; at this point, 6,000 animals had already died on the ship.

The disaster of the Cormo Express caused worldwide protests and had consequences.

Since then, exact records have to be kept of transports; shipments from Australia must be accompanied by a veterinarian if the supervisory authority so decides.

Australia issued a comprehensive set of rules.

However, because many other countries have no or only very low legal standards for animal transport, the mass extinction continues.

And I mean… Slaughter and the suffering of animals in general is not nice to look at. But more than that: Most don’t think much about slaughtering. They buy their meat nicely packaged in the supermarket or directly from the farmer.

They lie to themselves and believe that everything works and is good as soon as the red, white and red stamp is on the packaging

Obviously, the damage that viruses and pandemics do is not enough to teach people.
They continue to use a moral pattern for their eating habits and related animal abuse.

There are many who think the virus comes from bats, we eat the right animals here, nothing can happen.
Some think it’s Easter now and it’s a tradition to eat lamb, the corona won’t take it away from us

And there is also a third category that is the most widespread and does not think at all, feels nothing, it be carried by the system and above all, nothing wants to know that compels them to take responsibility and act.

Meat is the opium of the people.

good education is important…

Germany: the new surveillance system

 

Police collect coronavirus lists in several federal states.

 

“The police in several federal states have obtained data from people who have been infected with the novel corona virus. At least some of the lists also contain contact persons for those affected.”

“The distinction between those infected with the coronavirus and those not infected will shape society in the coming months”

“Last week, three local health departments were identified who had shared lists.

They therefore referred to the Public Health Service Act.
“As is now clear, a lot more data has flowed”!

“Data from Infected”

In Baden-Württemberg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the police received lists of people who had Covid-19. According to research by netzpolitik.org, sensitive health data was also transmitted in Lower Saxony and Bremen.

Privacy advocates think this is  illegal”.

And I mean…The total surveillance state has long been there. It was introduced on the day Merkel came to power. And as a spying specialist, she took it slow so that the stupid sleep-German citizen doesn’t notice it so quickly.

Even today many sleep – Germans would deny that we have long been living in a Merkel surveillance state.

What is still missing are empowerment laws that can elegantly remove unwanted opponents of the “United States of Europe” under the central rule of the US bankers.

Corona makes it possible …

England: Torture pigs and fight viruses!

 

Researchers from England used pigs to test vaccines against the novel corona virus. To do this, they take advantage of the similarity of the immune and respiratory systems of pigs and humans.

 

Scientists from England now want to use pigs to fight the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. In collaboration with researchers from Oxford University and Public Health England, a team of scientists from the Pirbright Institute will begin testing new vaccines for their ability to raise protective antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

Among other things, the chimpanzee adenovirus vaccine vector that was used to produce vaccines against Ebola, the Middle East respiratory syndrome and the flu is tested.

 

The vaccine candidates developed will contain the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. This is the protein against which protective antibodies are formed in infected people. To do this, the researchers measure the amount of antibodies produced after injecting vaccine candidates into pigs.

Pig and human respiratory system and immune system very similar (!!!)

They take advantage of the fact that pig and human immune systems have significant similarities. It can be assumed that a good response to a vaccine candidate in pigs is also promising in humans.

At the same time, the scientists will also test the safety of the new vaccines and check whether there are any adverse side effects in the pigs. If this attempt is successful, the next step could be to investigate the possible vaccine in humans.

 

The scientists from Pirbright are already using pigs for research on influenza viruses. Pigs have so far been used as large animal models because they have a very similar respiratory system to that of humans.

In addition, they inherently become infected with influenza viruses and form antibodies with properties similar to those of humans.

Pigs are therefore a suitable model for carrying out research for the novel corona virus.

 

The vaccine vector used cannot cause infection

“The vector vaccine developed at Oxford is used in this SARS-CoV-2 vaccine research because it can produce a strong immune response at a low dose,” explains Bryan Charleston, director of the Pirbright Institute.

“The vaccine vector is not replicable, which means that it cannot cause infection in an individual. This makes its application safer for people with underlying health conditions such as diabetes.

This approach has been applied to other vaccines and we hope that this research will enable the vaccine to advance to the next phase of human testing. ”

And I mean…We are very lucky again!
With a success rate of 5% (which generally affects all results from animal experiments on humans), we will control the healing process of the corona as slowly as that of the Spanish flu.

100 years ago, it took a year; today if we test on pigs it will probably take even longer.

The human being is the only animal that does not learn from its mistakes.

Peter Singer: on the causes of the coronavirus pandemic

 

 

It is worth watching this video.
Prof. Peter Singer * is one of the few animal ethicists and philosophers who can express a well-founded opinion on the subject.

Best  regards to all, Venus

* Peter Albert David Singer AC (* born 6 July 1946) is an Australian moral philosopher.

He is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, and a Laureate Professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne. He specialises in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues from a secular, utilitarian perspective.

He is known in particular for his book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues in favour of veganism, and his essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality”, in which he argues in favour of donating to help the global poor.

For most of his career, he was a preference utilitarian.

In 2004 Singer was recognised as the Australian Humanist of the Year by the Council of Australian Humanist Societies. In 2005, the Sydney Morning Herald placed him among Australia’s ten most influential public intellectuals.

Singer is a cofounder of Animals Australia and the founder of The Life You Can Save.
