A particularly noticeable case of animal cruelty was reported to us this week: A dog owner dyed the originally white fur of her protégé pink.
She had documented the “beautification measure” in detail in a series of pictures on her Facebook profile.
The animal welfare office was switched on!

“The woman should rather get a fashion doll. Abusing a living animal for such a senseless action is ethically and fortunately also unacceptable from a legal point of view, ” said Eva Persy, head of the animal welfare agency.
The identity of the lady could be found out.
There are fines of up to 15,000 euros.
Animal lovers horrified by posting on Facebook!
A small dog whose owner – with a broad grin – brushed it with hair dye and, after the deed was done, gave a kiss to the pink head of the “Barbie dog” for a selfie – the pictures caused horror among animal lovers.
“With such a procedure you not only put the animal under enormous stress, but you also endanger its health,” warns Eva Persy.
The chemicals contained in commercially available dyes can cause skin irritation and even severe burns – long-term damage cannot be ruled out.
Even natural colors are not necessarily free from side effects in dogs.
Due to the strange smell and appearance, the colored animal can also have problems communicating with other dogs.
The discoloration of skin, plumage, or fur for commercial or aesthetic reasons has been prohibited in Austria since the last amendment to the Animal Welfare Act in 2017.
Anyone who violates the dyeing ban can expect fines of up to 7,500 euros, in the event of repetition even up to 15,000 euros.
The case of the “Barbie dog” shows once again how much ignorance or even ignorance there is among some pet owners.
“It is, therefore, all the more important to inform people about their needs and the legal requirements before purchasing an animal”, emphasizes the head of the animal welfare office
And I mean…The newspaper describes this as a particularly noticeable case of animal cruelty.
Is it massive animal cruelty?
We could say it’s not direct, brutal animal cruelty like the ones we read every day.
And yet: even if he has not suffered…
like a pig by the heel
a monkey with electrodes on its head
a dog skinning alive in China …
it is exploitation, after all, even a bad one of its kind.
It’s one that degrades its entire existence to a toy, to an object that enables the owner to fish the desired likes on Facebook.
It’s not just stupid to paint an animal as a clown. It’s disrespectful!
It’s about the dignity and personality of the animal.
And if the animal itself cannot condemn this ridiculousness, so do those who fight for its rights and because they recognize and respect the right to its own physical and aesthetic integrity.
Even if it seems like a luxury problem compared to other crimes
regards and good night, Venus

Pets are also gassed or poisoned in European countries.
Why??
Because people prefer to order and buy their pets like goods from the breeder.
Of course with the right of return if the buyer does not like the “goods” or it behaves differently than desired.
And the breeders are happy.
What an inferior creature must one be to buy a friend like a wardrobe …
And how cheap and decadent you have to be to believe you have to pay for the better animal because that’s the only way to get the right design object!
And then someone looks at the Doodles – Poodles – Labbis – Bulldogs and it horrifies him.
Breeders are slave owners and animal abusers, nothing else.
And they have thousands of animals on their conscience that die in gas chambers because people would rather throw their money in the breeder’s throat than save an animal from lethal injection or the gas chamber.
You can’t buy a friend, you have to deserve one.
My best regards to all, Venus

The State Commission for Natural Heritage of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge has proposed this Thursday, February 4, the inclusion of all existing wolf populations in Spain in the List of Wild Species in the Special Protection Regime, so it will automatically stop be considered a hunting species.
This implies that they cannot be hunted as soon as the new law takes effect.
The proposal has required a double vote because in the first a tie was reached. Finally, a simple majority, necessary to adopt the decision, has given the go-ahead, thereby homogenizing the status of wolf populations throughout the national territory.
Cantabria, Asturias, Castilla y León, and Galicia, all of them regions with wolf populations north of the Duero, have voted against the proposal, a position to which other autonomous communities governed by the PartidoPopular have joined.
In any case, the proposal has gone ahead with the favorable vote of the rest of the regions.
The inclusion of all Spanish wolf populations in the list of wild species in the special protection regime is based on the opinion of the Scientific Committee, which recommended their protection because it takes into account “their importance as a cultural and scientific heritage, as well as the environmental benefits resulting from the presence of this species in natural Ecosystems “.
“The fact that it is a key species for the functioning of ecosystems, that its area of distribution includes territories of several autonomous communities and that the number of these has increased in recent times as well as the threats that affect the species they made a common approach to action necessary so that the management and conservation of the wolf are coherent throughout the Spanish territory, ensures its populations and long-term distribution and guarantees coexistence with man ”, they add.
The creation of a working group was proposed to develop a new strategy for the management and protection of the wolf in Spain. The objective of this document is to achieve the conservation, management, and restoration of viable populations of wolves as an integral part of Spanish ecosystems, ensuring coexistence with human activities in the areas where they live.
From AnimaNaturalis we hope that they will prohibit the hunting of these animals from now on, and do not wait for the new law to come into force, which will still take a few months to come into force.
We warmly welcome the decision.
All that remains now is the abolition of bullfighting!
My best regards to all, Venus

UN report on agriculture-Article from the German magazine “Der Spiegel”
To say it right from the start: an organic steak alone is not enough to save the world.
At least not if it is eaten daily.
According to a recent study, meat consumption is the world’s biggest destroyer of nature, and this includes organic meat. Only with more plant-based nutrition can the dramatic loss of biodiversity and ecologically sensitive habitats

The global meat industry and intensive agriculture have become the main drivers of this destruction of nature. The loss of habitats and biodiversity has never been as dramatic as in the past 50 years.
The reason is the reallocation of natural ecosystems for feed production or grazing land.
The more intensive agriculture that relies on pesticides and monocultures is particularly problematic. This would permanently destroy the soil, which in turn would lead to even more reallocation of natural land.
In addition, large amounts of fossil energy, fertilizer, and water are needed to produce meat.
This is being fueled by the trend towards more and more cheap food.
And I mean...It is the crime of cheap beef: the EU is the third most important buyer of Brazilian beef in terms of sales.
In 2018 imports increased significantly.
115,333 tons of imports were already registered in the first ten months of 2018. That was 22 percent more than in 2017.
The quantities are likely to increase by the end of the year.
At just under 58,000 tons, the Argentinians delivered 40 percent more.
Beef from these two countries is comparatively cheap. While Brazilian goods cost the equivalent of around 217 euros / 100 kg, according to EU data, 374 euros / 100 kg must be created for EU goods.
Thousands of hectares of primeval forest are being cleared in South America, and a unique ecosystem is threatened.
Companies are creating huge areas there for growing soybeans – especially for German meat producers.
Most of the soy harvest ends up in Germany as feed for animal fattening.
The future plantations look like open wounds, freed from trees, armadillos, and wild boars.
Prepared for growing soybeans in gigantic monocultures.
Soy cultivation / South America / Paraguay
Breeders and fatteners have made Germany the largest soybean importer in Europe, with imports totaling 3.7 million tons of soybeans and 2.8 million tons of soybean meal in 2016.
The German importers get most of the deliveries from South America – and according to research by the Mighty Earth Organization, they also buy the lion’s share of the soy for which the Gran Chaco is cleared in Argentina and Paraguay.
Our capitalist system doesn’t know any other direction, it has to go on and on.
“As a matter of fact, nothing else can be given as the purpose of our existence other than the knowledge that it would be better not to be there”.

This is our answer to conditions in turkey farms that go beyond the worst imagination of what is done to the animals on the fattening and breeding farms.
The rescued turkeys Claudius, Bibo, Jolanda, and Jasmin now live on the farm https://land-der-tiere.de/puten/ 🦃 and they live fine.
This is the life they deserve.
But…
30,000 turkeys were officially “killed and disposed of” in two Brandenburg facilities in the last 10 days.
Most of these animals are probably still healthy. However, since they can no longer be “recycled”, the motto is: caught, hung up.
Where animals are treated as goods and life counts for nothing, the phrase “dangerous pathogen” has nothing to do with the danger for the turkeys concerned.
It’s all about the economic risk for those who wanted to kill these turkeys anyway – just for a profit.
The tragic thing is that it is precisely this commercial animal use itself that poses the greatest risk for the further spread of avian flu and many other infectious diseases.
We are doing it consciously, knowingly, deliberately … almost from inferior basic motives.
My best regards to all, Venus
