Rome – In Rome, there was a mass death of songbirds on New Year’s Eve.
Terrorized by the loud cracks and the fireworks on the terraces and balconies of the houses, starlings collided en masse against the window panes of shops and apartments as well as against power lines and fell onto the streets.
Questo è quello che è successo nel centro di Roma a causa dei botti di Capodanno.
Sembra la scena del film di Hitchcock
Ogni anno si fanno ordinanze per vietare i botti ed ogni anno queste ordinanze vengono ignorate. pic.twitter.com/rzPhuXHPHO
Bird deaths were particularly high around Termini station. Because a majority of the animals overwinter there.
It is believed that they died of a heart attack.

Due to the ever milder winters in Italy, many migratory bird species no longer migrate south but stay in warm Rome.
The animals overwinter in the trees of the Italian capital because they continue to find mosquitoes, flies, and other insects for food in Rome.
Less injured
Animal rights activists called for strict measures against the New Year’s Eve bang.
“Even if a ban on firecrackers was imposed in Italy, this is not observed. The result is that massive animals die every year on New Year’s Eve. Many pets are injured. This massacre must be put to an end,” protested Massimo Comparotto, President of the “Oipa”animal welfare association.
The New Year celebrations under Corona conditions resulted in significantly fewer injuries and deaths in Italy than in previous years.
The reason was the strict nationwide exit restrictions.
Firecracker bans, such as those issued for Rome, Palermo, Florence, and Milan, were ignored.
In Asti, northern Italy, according to media reports, a 13-year-old probably died from a firecracker. (APA, 2.1.20209)
And I mean…Firecrackers were banned everywhere anyway, at least in Europe.
It was perhaps the first time that European governments jointly decided on something good, for animals and people.
That also applied to Italy.
But there are always some idiots who light fireworks in the dark of the night despite the law and think they are resisting thereby the system
Soon Italy, like all of Europe, will be at an end, economically and socially.
The Italians should protest against this, and not at night, not with fireworks, but peacefully with other people during the day.
Otherwise, they, and all of us, will soon be in the place of the songbirds.

How to Give Your Favourite Family Recipes a Vegan Makeover
You’ve made the powerful decision to go veg, but you’re worried about forgoing some of your family’s favorite recipes. We’ve been there. For many people, these homemade recipes are comfort foods at their finest and the idea of giving them up can seem overwhelming. Luckily, with a little planning, you can make your favorite family recipes vegan.
While it’s likely you can already chow down on some of the side dishes the whole family is having—pasta, potatoes, vegetables, rice and beans, and so on—some dishes will need a vegan makeover.
Consider asking your grandma or other family members for help modifying the recipe, if possible. Making a new recipe together will show your family that you can enjoy your favorite recipes without compromising your values.
Here are some tips to make your favorite family recipes vegan:
South Korea’s Conglomerates (called “Jaebol”) have an enormous power and influence over their government and people because they make up the majority of their economy and employ millions of people combined. When the Kia Management speaks, the President of Korea will listen. How disappointing and shameful it is, therefore, that despite its wealth and influence, Kia shows no interest in helping to fight the horrific and diabolic practice of dog and cat meat cruelty in their own country. These evil meat trades are a blight on their people and their homeland – for numerous reasons. So, why doesn’t Kia feel any social responsibility to take action? Why are they content to do nothing to help end this abhorrence?
It’s time for Kia to speak up and do their part to bring an end to this illegal and unethical practice of brutalizing and eating man’s best friends. Please write to the management of Kia today!
You will surely notice how radiant Eberhard and Winfried’s bedroom appears today, that is because we offered very fresh bed linen, which was also used immediately.
In this way, the already very high standard in the pig rooms could be topped again.
By the way, our gardening team traditionally takes it easy, so the two of them disappear into the straw feathers at around 4 p.m. every day.
The ritual is always the same because Eberhard is of course very experienced as a single father, bedtime is no exception and before he beds his own adonis body, he critically monitors that his child is also properly covered.
Only then does Dad join in and grunt a fairy tale or an episode “Pigs in Space” from “The Muppet Show”!

The following article appeared on December 5, 2020, in the rather conservative newspaper “Süddeutsche Zeitung”.
It’s still well-written, and it gets to the heart of the relationship between factory farming and pandemics.
“Animal welfare is a topic that hardly anyone thinks about in the midst of the corona pandemic. The challenge of tackling the crisis is so great that all other problems fade away.
However, the corona crisis might not have mattered at all, humanity would have treated nature and other living things more respectfully.
“Humanity is waging war against nature. This is suicidal. Nature is always striking back with full force and rage,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in the first week of December at a United Nations meeting.
To underscore this, 150 animal protection organizations, together with primate researcher Jane Goodall, have now released a statement calling for a different approach to animals to prevent future pandemics.
“It is a shock to realize that we are to blame,”Goodall wrote in a foreword, “because of our disrespect for nature and for animals.”
The pathogen of swine flu has also arisen in mass animal husbandry
Warnings that pathogens are more likely to infect humans and can cause epidemics or even pandemics have already been enough: HI viruses, for example, originate from chimpanzees and gorillas, and also the pathogens of Ebola and Sars are examples of such zoonoses.
“We have created situations in which it is relatively easy for a virus or other pathogen to jump from one species to another,” Goodall writes.
The statement of the animal protectors mentions various areas in which the handling of animals had to change in order to reduce the risk of such transfers in the future.
At animal markets, such as the one where the possible Sars-CoV-2 has been passed on to humans, the conditions are “terribly cruel and mostly very unhygienic”, Goodall writes. After an often long journey without food and water, various animal species would be crammed into a cage – along with their pathogens.
“They are stressed and often ill. Those who are sold as pets then bring their pathogens directly into people’s homes.”
As real as this danger is, the swine flu has emerged, which originated in mass animal husbandry and triggered a pandemic in 2009.
Between 151,000 and 575,000 people are estimated to have died worldwide as a result.

And I mean…The factory farming in Germany with up to 80,000 pigs in a single farm and the constant demand of the consumer for his cheap schnitzel have created an agricultural mafia that feeds on completely nonsensical subsidies and cheap labor.
Apart from that, the meat we eat today comes mainly from genetically homogeneous, immunocompromised, and permanently treated animals that are housed in tens of thousands in buildings or in cages stacked on top of one another – regardless of how the meat is labeled.
We know that.
Yet the future of animal husbandry is likely to be quite low on our priority list for most of us, and the animal suffering that goes with it is insignificant, especially in the current situation where most are preoccupied with themselves.
The problem is, we’re especially good idiots.
The consequences of a mortality rate of one to two percent are omnipresent: half the world lives under house arrest, children do not go to school, hospitals no longer have life-saving devices, we are facing the financial depression of a generation. We are practically at the limit.
And yet nobody is talking about the abolition of factory farming
We know how to address the biggest risk factor for pandemics. We know how to protect ourselves and the next generations.
Pandemics like this one are, among other things, the result of our criminal treatment of animals and the environment.
Humanity will not perish from a virus, but from a lack of personal responsibility and compassion!
