This Tuesday morning, on the N17-1 road, near the exit to the Industrial Area of Alto do Padrão (between Miranda do Corvo and Lousã), a truck carrying pigs to the slaughterhouse collapsed, having been in the situation that you can see in the video.
The driver of the vehicle, as far as we know, was not injured.
But the animals it carried, yes.
We were unable to provide support as the road was closed. But we managed to register some images, so that everyone can see and hear the suffering of these animals. According to the information that arrived at the site, about 100 animals died.
But that was not all we found: the scene was of many dead pigs, but even more pigs in agony. Bleeding, with broken legs, with a broken spine, dying … an authentic Dante scene.
We also captured the moment when a guy repeatedly kicks a pig, so that it does not move away from the place where his brothers perished.
At the end of the day, more than 9 hours later, we returned to the place.
Some animals had already been taken, but many pigs were still there, clearly very injured.
A pig, probably with a broken spine, just fiddled with its nose in the dirt.
Another, with broken back legs, tried to get up and walk, succumbing and lying down again.
None of these animals were rescued to end their suffering.
These animals were more than 9 hours to be removed from the site.
And make no mistake: they were not rescued, as they will still be killed.
My comment: The driver almost always remains unharmed with every transport accident involving animals.
How can one believe in justice and God when half of the coffin hangs in the abyss and the coffin leader still escapes alive?
If we had 100 dead truck drivers instead of 100 dead pigs each year during animal transports, that might be a reason not to have any more.
Only in this case will be the business no longer profitable.
The animals are slaughtered anyway, a few less are calculated as losses on each trip.
When do we finally say stop? until here and not further? WHEN?

A cat and a pit bull make friends and flee from an evil dog owner. The Pixar film “Kitbull” is cute, dramatic – and unfortunately realistic.
“Kitbull” is not only incredibly cute and dramatic – but unfortunately also quite realistic. 💔
Actually, filmmaker Rosana Sullivan wanted to tell the story of an unusual friendship. She herself is rather shy, much like the little cat who in “Kitbull” first looks at a large pit bull fearfully, then even scratches out of sheer panic – and finally makes friends with him.
The message is clear: it is worth looking beyond apparent differences, because even a grim-looking dog is actually a playful and friendly animal.
In the end, “Kitbull” shows something else: The kitten encourages the pit bull to flee together from its owner, who chains the dog outside and injures him badly.
Unfortunately, this tethering is a reality, especially in the USA, and in Germany, too, certain dog breeds, in particular, are often kept by people who see them as a fighting tool rather than a living being – which is why we have been requesting a dog license for a long time.
The family that ultimately adopted the dog and cat in film would probably get it easily, because they approach the animals gently and treat them with love.
A happy ending that reminds us that keeping animals is a responsible task – and that you should never buy an animal because there are enough that are eagerly awaiting adoption.
And I mean…You can do that when you find an abandoned animal: adopt! thousands of them want nothing more than a house, a little food and love;
thausands abandoned animals are waiting in sad shelters for someone to change their miserable lives.
An adoption is a hard blow to the irresponsibility and ignorance of the assholes, they put animals on the street like they do with their garbage bags every day.
We correct the misery that others have created.
Because animals only have us!

Eyewitness video footage shows elephants who were forced to participate in the cruel Chitwan Elephant Festival in Nepal being repeatedly struck and gouged with bullhooks—spear-like weapons with a sharp hook on one end—and their ears being violently yanked.
Mahouts (handlers) also beat frightened elephants with other weapons, such as sticks and makeshift wooden knives.
One mahout can be seen repeatedly jabbing a baby elephant behind the ear to force her to “play” soccer. Right after the match, eyewitnesses saw that she had several fresh, painful, bloody wounds.
When these elephants aren’t being forced to perform at this festival, they’re used for rides by tourists visiting Chitwan. Elephants who are forced to “play” polo or give rides are controlled through physical violence and psychological domination.
They’re chained and beaten with bullhooks or other weapons and constantly threatened with violence to keep them afraid and submissive.
Elephants used for polo games, rides, shows, and other forms of entertainment suffer tremendously. Even when not performing, they’re typically deprived of everything that’s natural and important to them.
If we take an honest look at the reality of life in captivity for elephants compared to the life that they would have in nature, we can see that the “trainers” have utterly degraded these magnificent animals.
Elephants are highly social beings who thrive in matriarchal herds, protecting each other, caring for their babies, and traveling many miles a day.
They experience joy, sadness, and fear. Their rituals of mourning the deaths of family members rival any that humans have developed.
Their complex emotional states and multifaceted relationships are left in tatters.
Using these majestic, endangered animals in silly spectacles is shameful. Nepal should be focused on protecting them in their natural habitats, not exploiting them for human amusement.
Last year, more than a dozen companies dropped their support of the King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament in Thailand after a PETA Asia eyewitness exposé revealed abuse similar to that documented in Nepal, and the tournament’s organizers ceased their operations in Thailand—making the Chitwan Elephant Festival the only event in the world in which elephants are shamefully abused for and forced to “play” polo.
And for good reason—others have recognized the cruelty inherent in making elephants perform and have stopped abusing animals.
The Chitwan Elephant Festival also hurts Nepal’s tourism industry.
Please fill out the form below to tell the Nepal Tourism Board that it’s in its best interest to cancel these cruel “games.”
Personalized letters always work best. Feel free to use the sample letter provided, but keep in mind that your letter will carry more weight if you write your own customized message and subject line.
And I mean…Those who are too lazy or too stupid to play football themselves choose the enslaved animals as substitutes, who definitely have more intelligence than all these primitive offenders.
So that every brain-sick tourist in his country can proud the experienced hero, elephants have to spend their lives in torture, slavery and daily humiliations.
Maybe our corona brings some good side effects in this regard.
Most will not travel anytime soon, nature and animals are recovering, and fear spoils any desire for exotic fun!

On the 1 of March the lynx cull began in Sweden as of right now over 80 have been killed and 103 will be killed by the end of this month.
A massacre was going on in the forrest and we could not just sit idly by and watch the slaughter.
While searching for the hunt scum with the intention of sabotaging their efforts to kill the 8 lynx that were still fighting for their home and lives in our cull zone we came across many traps, hunting towers and feeding stations that all met the same fate.
