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.
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 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
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.”

from the blog of Martin Balluch*
Back from a week in the forest, I realize that the hunt for marmots has started. At least with us in Styria, (Austria). In Tyrol and elsewhere it lasts until mid-August, but there are still 2 months left for this cheap hunt.
The shot costs only € 500, with a € 100 discount if you don’t hit. It is 4 times as expensive to shoot a chamois.
The picture above shows an encounter with a marmot on the Wetterinalm. “Beautiful” meadows road, isn’t it? You can tell right away that there is nature here.
The marmot lives carefree there, doesn’t care about hikers or my dog friend who was there.
He is totally peaceful with all animals anyway.
Last autumn I and my family were in an alpine pasture in the Hohe Tauern for a few days after the cows were brought down. We made friends there with a family of marmots.
And then a hunter came up from the valley with his 14-year-old son and a 17-year-old hunting guide. The 14-year-old wanted to shoot a groundhog for his birthday.
Nothing easier than shooting at these almost tame marmots that had played with us.
While these hunters were happy, I felt like a traitor.
How can you be nice to animals when others take advantage of this approach to kill?
* Dr. Martin Balluch: Martin Balluch studied mathematics, physics, and astronomy at the University of Vienna. He then did his doctorate in physics at the Ruprecht-Karls University in Heidelberg in 1989. From 1990 to 1997 he worked as a university assistant alongside Stephen Hawking in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at Cambridge University.
He is the chairman of the “Verein gegen Tierfabriken”(association against animal factories) which has had many successes against gate hunting in Austria.
Some interesting facts about marmots: The small rodents can’t stand the heat. They feel 20 degrees Celsius like we humans 36 degrees in the blazing sun.
Marmots hibernate. At -20 degrees Celsius, the ground squirrels like to crawl in their burrow, where it is pleasantly warm. They cuddle up to each other and lower their body temperature to 6 degrees so that they burn little energy. The smallest come in the middle because it is warmest there. In this way, up to 20 marmots form a huge ball of fur under the ground. They create complex tunnels in which many human animals would get lost.
And I mean…The only ones allowed to kill with impunity are the hunters.
Hunters and farmers produce many excuses to justify their murders of defenseless animals. The first do it out of a hobby and perverse sadism, but they always keep silent the joy, the experience of killing.
The second one is used to torturing animals anyway and cruelly slaughtered for profit.
In today’s society, the following applies: Whoever feels nothing when killing is a psychopath and severely disturbed.
In my view, these people are ruthless assholes, who can continue to kill animals in the forest and everywhere because they are protected by authorities, judges, and politicians who are also hunters themselves.
In Germany, the hunters are a miserable minority of 45% of the population, who nevertheless have the right to terrorize citizens and animals in the forest, to “accidentally” kill pets, to destroy the soil, and to cause enormous pollution.
But the average German thinks it’s none of his business what happens in the forest until he finds his cat or dog shot somewhere, by a hunter.
And he must be happy if a hunter does not mistake him with a wild boar when he takes when he goes for a walk in the forest!!
And so we are back to a known fact: as long as society is manipulated by media propaganda and false information and acts cowardly, nothing will change about the hunt.
It is these who have the power to abolish hunting that must be put under pressure. From all of us.
We have many resources for this today, we just have to bring courage.

Every rescue came too late for the animals: thousands of pigs were burned and suffocated in a fire in the community of Teutschenthal. The fire is now under control.
5000 animals were burned in a fire in a pig fattening plant in Saxony-Anhalt.The fire department was in large-scale operations for several hours.
A police spokesman said on Friday that the property damage was estimated to be between four and five million euros (!!!)
*** Major fire at SMA Woestmann KG pig fattening plant Teutschenthal Saalekreis Teutschenthal 16 07 2020 Photo Holger John, Teutschenthal Saxony Anhalt- Germany
A total of three stables and a connecting building were affected by the fire. “The pigsties themselves have largely burned down. The animals have to be assumed that they all died in the fire,” said a police spokesman for the MDR.
The fire that broke out in Teutschenthal near Halle on Thursday morning has now been extinguished. However, a fire watch is held due to individual embers, the spokesman said.
And I mean…Around 115,000 animals per year die through stall fires in Germany alone, approx. 5000 stables burn in 1 year, which is around 14 fires a day !!!
During the Corona period, the stall fires increased.
Incredible numbers, a cruel death, and nobody gives the correct causes.
The police report usually gives the following reasons: defective electrical systems and ventilation, completely inadequate fire protection … but there are other reasons that play a role!
The farmers have great problems with the animals, the coronavirus also affects the marketing of breeding cattle, calves, and slaughter cows. Prices are falling, foreign demand is severely restricted and auctions cannot take place. Their “slaves” no longer bring the money they want.
Killing by conventional methods costs a lot, fires are cheaper because in this case, the insurance company pays and the farmers also get compensation for every being that is burned.
In this case, too, someone has rehabilitated himself at the cost of fellow creatures’ lives. And the authorities wave it through.
The news came only in the local newspaper.
If it were 5,000 human animals, we would have National Mourning Day!
WAV Comment – A ‘big man tosser’ of a US trophy hunter shoots an elephant in the head many times. Watch the video to see what a complete and utter wanker this bloke is – just like ALL hunters. So this is your way of ‘protecting’ wild animals is it ? – asshole !
A curious young elephant approaches an American trophy hunter—only to be shot in the head repeatedly and allowed to endure a prolonged, painful death.
As part of a breaking investigation, PETA has obtained footage of a Californian trophy hunter named Aaron Raby shooting an elephant in the head over and over again. The elephant falls to his knees and suffers in agony as Raby shoots him at least four more times over the next two minutes. How many shots were taken after the video stopped and how long the elephant suffered before finally dying is unknown.
Afterward, Raby mutilates the elephant’s corpse, cutting off his tail. He later pays tens of thousands of dollars to have the elephant’s body parts preserved for shipment to the U.S.
Every year, thousands of wild animals like this magnificent elephant are slaughtered by trophy hunters for the perverse pleasure they get out of it and so that those who make a living selling hunting trips and accessories can profit from the trade in body parts. These animals need your help now.
UPS continues to allow this cruel industry to exist by shipping trophy hunters’ gruesome souvenirs. Please watch the video and then urge UPS to stop shipping hunting trophies immediately!
