Non-vegans love the finished products comprised of another being’s flesh, but are reluctant to see just how that flesh came to be on their plates.
Personal pleasure seems to override people’s morals, and those of us who are vegan know this all too well.
There’s a reason why seeing an innocent being hung up, bleeding from their neck makes you uncomfortable, and that’s because, deep down, you know it’s not OK.
The majority of us were not born vegan – we made that choice because we connected the dots that are deliberately hidden with the insanely powerful meat, dairy, and egg propaganda, engineered by an industry that has successfully duped the public for centuries.

For a few days, gruesome pictures of dead dogs have been circulating on social media in the so-called quarantine station of the shelter for abandoned animals in Stranjanin, which is managed by 𝗝𝗞𝗣 𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗔 𝗭𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮 (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
ALBA Zenica is a location of ALBA Berlin GmbH.
In autumn last year, employees at the ALBA Zenica animal shelter in Bosnia and Herzegovina published shocking photos and videos.
The disturbing recordings document the daily suffering of the animals in narrow, dirty cages and the barbaric, massive killing of dogs in the animal shelter.
In recent months, PETA Germany has been in close contact with the informants and Bosnian-Herzegovinian animal rights activists who brought these atrocities to the public.
According to information available to PETA, the ALBA Group Berlinhas been financing an animal shelter of the subsidiary Alba D.O.O. since January 2017. (Alba Ltd.) in Zenica, Bosnia, and Herzegovina.
The shelter is owned by the city of Zenica.
As the leaked photo and video material show, the dogs in this facility are neglected and tortured, which is a clear violation of the regulation on the operation of animal shelters.
The images show the rotting bodies of deceased puppies, dogs with sad eyes that are vegetating in their own feces and urine, dirty, empty bowls.
One-shot shows a mother dog with her babies: the dogs are locked in a tiny cage, stacked on top of each other so that they cannot move or stretch out.
The material also shows photos of emaciated and already deceased dogs that are scattered in the rain-soaked area.
Please share this post and the pictures. Also the two petitions.
And I mean…We remember the animal catcher business in Romania.
As long as there are subsidies from the EU for these cruel shelters, the crimes will not stop either.
I translated the text of a third petition, which I thought was great and I agree with it.
“It has to stop! Hell for dogs! Zenica- Bosnia, and Herzegovina! EU!
No money! My tax money is not there to kill! They cheat. Sterilization / castration. No! Kill! For the dog catcher, there is 50 € per animal!
The photos above show the illegal mass killing of dogs and PUPPIES in an animal shelter run by ALBA Zenica, which is carried out regularly. Zenica uses the method of regular killing to make room for new dogs. New dogs, give money from the EU.
The authenticity of the photos was confirmed by the veterinary inspection of Zenica-Doboj Canton.
It’s not just in Zenica. Many animal shelters take the money for themselves. And let the dogs starve to death miserably. The syringe is also too expensive. Or they are brutally beaten to death.
The bull attacks his killer and stabs him on the head with amazing precision! something like that happens in jobs with risk
He hits him on the floor with his horn, the killer loses his cape and without the “tool” the killer remains like a mechanical glitter on the floor, without a battery.
As always, the arena mafia rushes to help, but the second attempted murder against the bull also fails when the helper loses his tool “Capa” as well.
We would like to thank the video producer for making it possible for us to witness this successful battle
P.S: We don’t know anything about the killer’s chances in life. We think the audience should donate blood
#Close Cruel Cages: Six bears in concrete pits at Lovech Zoo!
Six bears, two tigers, and two lions are kept under terrible conditions at the Lovech Zoo in Bulgaria.

The concrete and outdated enclosures are neither suitable for keeping animals in a species-appropriate manner nor for accommodating other animals.
The zoo must prevent the animals from reproducing and must not accept new bears.
Nevertheless, the brown bears continue to reproduce, the last cub was born in January 2020.
During a visit in January 2021, a FOUR PAWS team got a picture on site. We were particularly shocked by the concrete enclosure of three bears. It had no natural vegetation, no places to retreat or hide.
At the time of our visit, the floor was covered with feces.

Documentation of the disposal of laying hens – worldwide
As the chickens’ egg-laying yield decreases, the poultry industry rushes to dispose of them at a young age
The method used in Israel and around the world is to use an electric vehicle and to kill the animals with an electric shock.
In this video is the case in the Czech Republic
You can see workers simply filling trash cans in the barn with animals.
Most of them suffocate and from there spill into a large container.
This method is illegal in Israel
However, a few years ago we were able to document this violation twice.
In two different chicken coops in the Sharon area and most likely – according to the undercover worker video that nobody knows – it is proven that in most cases this method is also used here in Israel.
The industry wants to accelerate the destruction process.
It is very difficult to take over and dispose of a basket of hundreds of thousands of laying hens.
And if you take them out one by one, it can take days and that costs money and time, this cruel method saves both.
The tortured chickens pay the price to maximize profits
With cruelty and slow death, they will suffocate in the can along with the rest of their sisters.
You can find more information about the poultry industry in Israel in the film “The Scam” below:
And I mean…The video is of course linguistically inaccessible to most of us
But still, after the first five minutes, you have the feeling that you know these pictures. That this or similar pictures have been seen.
That is why this video speaks a universal language.
Every country in the world practices this fascist system of exploitation of the “other” animals.
Animals suffer from the violence of those who have rights, of people.
And that all over the world.
Even the very best animal protection law does not grant animals any rights, but only restricts the power of disposition of humans against animals.
The best that can happen to them is mercy or pity, and we know how slim those prospects are.
Every special video actually has the function of unveiling the injustice and making the invisible visible.
Because the animal industry relies on isolation and total secrecy.
There are many ways to give voice to the other species and to make their pain public and express it.
We have cleared up to their lawyers.
No method is better or worse than the other, each has its special moment when it can develop its power and effect.
Realizing this is the really more important basis of animal rights defense.

It took- for trigger-happy hunters in the US state of Wisconsin- exactly three days to slaughter around 20 percent of the wolf population.
216 animals were killed in the bloodbath that took place at the end of February. Experts estimate that there were between 1,000 and 1,200 wolves in Wisconsin before the hunt.
The reason for the permit for the three-day hunt was ultimately an oversight by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources(DNR).
Wisconsin is the only US state in which the regulation of the wolf population is normally carried out by officials of the authority – a shooting quota is set annually, which is based on standards for sustainability and the protection of the wolf population.
Observations about the development of packs play a role. As a rule, only very old or sick animals or a few problem specimens that were noticeable through livestock cracks are shot down – the quota rarely exceeded 100.
However, since the Trump administration abolished numerous protections for wolves last year, hunter lobby groups and some Republican MPs have called for open wolf hunting.
The state of Wisconsin also wanted to hold one hunting, but only in the fall and not in the spring – because they were still waiting for new data on the population development and then wanted to incorporate this into the determination of the shooting rate.
But then the supervisory authority was taken by surprise by a lawsuit filed by the powerful hunting lobby group“Hunter Nation Incorporated” from the state of Kansas, which is 1,000 kilometers away.
According to the change in the law by Trump, the court ordered the supervisory authority to immediately permit hunting and allow applications for hunting permits.
The supervisory authority had no choice but to obey the court order – they simply had not recognized the legal situation in time and thus lost valuable time, for example, to develop control mechanisms.
More than 2,000 applications for hunting permits were received, and almost all of them had to be approved overnight, without careful scrutiny.
Our new investigation into the Scottish salmon industry, released today (23rd March), uncovers the hidden suffering of salmon on an industry-wide and endemic scale, breaches in animal welfare legislation and shocking mortality rates.
Scottish salmon is big business. Every year, 24 to 56 million of these fish are shipped to over 50 countries – making Scotland the world’s third-largest exporter. Worryingly the Scottish government supports plans for massive industry expansion by 2030. But while the industry expands, animals pay the price.
APPALLING FINDINGS
We investigated 22 farms between September and November 2020, using both drone technology and, at 6 farms, underwater divers. On several of these farms, investigators found severe sea lice infestations and high levels of mortalities. They also found fish crammed in barren underwater cages, where these natural migrators have nothing to do but swim aimlessly for up to 2 years. These animals suffer to such an extent that as many as a quarter will die before they even make it to slaughter.
The appalling findings were documented on farms owned by all five of Scotland’s largest salmon producers (Cooke Aquaculture, Grieg Seafood, Mowi, Scottish Sea Farms and The Scottish Salmon Company), which together account for over 96% of the industry.
SALMON SUFFERING BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE
“Salmon are silently suffering, out of sight, in cruel underwater factory farms across Scotland. Even the experienced investigators were shocked at what they found,” said Sophie Peutrill, our Global Campaign Manager for fish welfare. “The footage reveals salmon with deformities and disease, missing eyes and large chunks of flesh and skin being eaten away by sea lice. This is completely unacceptable.
“Salmon are sentient beings – they should not be subjected to such awful misery. There is an industry-wide failure to protect these animals, and this must change. We need an immediate halt on the continued expansion of Scottish salmon farming”
PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE PLANET
Not only is salmon farming bad for animal welfare, but it is also damaging the environment. Organic and chemical waste from Scottish salmon farms is changing the chemistry of sediments and killing marine life on the seabed. Waste from farms can lead to poor water quality and harmful algal blooms. Millions of tonnes of wild-caught fish are reduced to fishmeal and fish oil in order to feed fish in intensive farms, and the list goes on.
“Given the numerous welfare and environmental issues within the Scottish salmon industry, plans to expand are completely irresponsible”, said Dr Krzysztof Wojtas, our Head of Fish Policy.
“We are calling on the Scottish Government for a moratorium on the expansion of the Scottish Salmon industry. Confining carnivorous species in underwater cages and depleting our oceans of wild fish in order to feed them, is pure madness. Ultimately, we directly challenge whether farming essentially wild, migratory fish, such as salmon, has any place in a sustainable food system.”
CALL TO HALT TROUBLED WATERS
The Scottish salmon farming industry is rife with fish welfare issues and serious environmental problems. At current production levels sea lice infestation and disease are out of control, causing fish suffering on an alarming scale and threatening wild fish populations.
To address the issues brought to the surface by our investigation we have launched an open letter to the Scottish government, urgently calling for a moratorium on the expansion of the industry, with a view to phasing out intensive salmon farming.
ACT NOW TO STOP SALMON SUFFERING
Please sign our open letter to the Scottish Government, demanding a moratorium to stop the runaway growth of Scottish salmon farming.
