An activist of the SOKO animal protection association (whose chairman is Friedrich Mülln) was introduced via a job as animal keeper and could report for a long time obscured from the laboratory. He made extensive video footage.
From this undercover action came a very gratifying result, which is reported by the founder and chairman of the association Friedrich Mülln. (translation below). The first demo against the lab was in Hamburg, with over 8,000 people, a new one is planned on November 16 again.
Never before has so much animal testing been achieved in 18 days as we all have managed!
For the first time in almost 60 years no new animal experiments may be made. This applies to all three LPT locations. That means no new studies.
No new blood money from the pharmaceutical and chemical industry.
The LPT has lost several important customers and service providers. Every day this shop has less money.
The LPT has not ordered any new animals.
No more gruesome transports around the world.
Police and prosecutors are investigating at full speed.
Politicians and administrators discuss the withdrawal of the operating permit. Cover up is no more.
Any animal movement in or out of the lab and every kill must be reported.
We have been putting together the biggest animal protection demonstration for decades.
We had soli actions in several EU countries. Every day there are vigils and protests. Other demos are also going to benefit animal laboratories and have strong inflows.
So far, 833,000 people have signed the petition.
So far we have had dozens of TV and hundreds of newspaper reports. Overall, we had a media reach of nearly 1,000,000,000 people.
Many organizations and groups work hand in hand (not self-evident, unfortunately).
We brought the issue of animal testing back to the media, the parliaments and the public debate. That’s incredible.
The whole world is astonished and we give strength to animal rights activists worldwide and show that we can win.

Switzerland is serious: From 1 January 2020, the shredding of male day old chicks in the Alpine republic is prohibited.
It stands to reason that the shredding of a live animal is not in line with Article 1 of the Animal Welfare Act, the Commission notes.
According to the article, the purpose of the law is to protect the dignity and well-being of the animal.
Chicks are shredded with the “wrong” sex. This is – regardless of the shredding – controversial.
The commission notes that it is questionable whether it is ethically acceptable to kill a chick for the sole reason that it is a male from a laying hen line.
The trend to breed breeds only for egg laying or for meat production makes the animal a simple subject of production and leads to absurdities such as the shredding of live male chicks. With this ethical intention, the Kommission received a petition from the Vegan Society Switzerland.
The suffocation caused by carbon dioxide, however, remains allowed. Research is currently in a sex determination already in the breed egg.
My comment: Every little step that enhances the chicken’s KZ`s is welcome.
In Germany, the maltreatment of the day chicks is allowed.
Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner, the girlfriend and lobbyist of slaughterhouses, sees no use for the chickens children and currently no alternative to shredding at the moment, as well as to the piglet castration without anesthesia wich she has prolonged for another two years, ie until 2020.
Fortunately, we have here in Germany a humorous so-called “Animal Protection Law” and it says:
“Nobody is allowed to cause pain, suffering or harm to an animal for no good reason . “
Ethically and morally, we are well ahead in the paper.

In Alaska, there has been widespread mass extinction of seabirds and other marine animals for five years.
This year, the NOAA fishery detected an unusually high number of dead gray whales and sea lions. More than 120 gray whales have been washed ashore, about 300 dead seals have been registered, and thousands of dead seabirds have been washed ashore on Alaska’s beaches this year.
Although the autopsies are ongoing, their death is due to emaciation and hunger. The most obvious explanation, according to the scientists, for the mass extinction of marine animals since 2015 is the warmer sea temperatures.
In Alaska, global warming is particularly fast and intense. The ice cover around Alaska usually lasts until the end of May. This year it disappeared in March.
Alaska recorded a record high of 32.2 degrees this summer. It was the highest ever recorded in Alaska since the beginning of the registration of weather record.
“What happens on Alaska’s shores basically affects each of us, “ told Brian Brettschneider of the International Arctic Research Center to CNN.
“Most people feel the effects of climate change, even if they do not know or want to downplay it. Dramatic changes happen and they increase. “
My comment: We lost a lot of time talking and thinking about climate rescue.
We urgently need committed professionals with a clear plan to solve the real problems on this planet, rather than any climate prophets, such as the media product of Greta Thunberg, for example, wich de recognized and acclaimed by politicians, rulers, mass media, industrialists, etc., as the deus ex macina of climate salvation.
Everyone is currently living from the maded panic, everyone claims we do not have time, but everyone takes the time to chatter and do nothing.
Abolition of factory farming, control over population growth, high taxation of meat, state subsidization of vegan products, punishment of plastic waste, fair trade promotion and so much more would probably do more than the media theater of schoolchildren’s panic making.
In order to save climate, animals and nature we need an effective and not an elitist activism.

This is actually the seventh wonder of the world today in Egypt: that this country and 4,500 years after it built the colossal works of the pyramids, this land, torments animals to death so that the world cultural heritage of Giza be sold to stupid tourists.

Liberation NOW ++ Bullfighting continues to be subsidized by the EU ++
On 23 October 2019, the European Parliament voted on whether bullfighting in southern Europe should continue to be subsidized from the EU’s agricultural budget.
Against the removal of the subsidies were from the German delegates CDU, CSU (Christian Social Union), Free Democratic Party and Free Voters Confederation.
69% of the Socialist Party of Germany opposed the cancellation. However, since 19% were not even present, just over 80% of the SPD votes cast were against it (!!!)
And the members of Alliance 90 / The Greens and the Left were not far away from their colleagues. Although all the MPs present voted in favor of the abolition of subsidies, 14% of the Greens and 40% of the left were absent.
All parties are committed to animal welfare on the flag and show again and again that this is just a well-sounding lip service. The so highly praising animal protection law in this country is not worth the paper it stands on.
The “production” of animal consumer goods is associated with immense suffering, and EU-MEPs know it.
We breed them – we lock them in – we do experiments with them – we make circus shows with them – we make money with them – we kill them.
It is therefore not surprising that “our” politicians are also true to their line abroad and give their voice for suffering and death. Shame on you!
In this case, we can see very clearly that the corruption of our politicians can be worse than we can imagine.
My comment: According to estimates by animal welfare organizations, the annual turnover of the bullfighting industry in Spain is between 1 and 2.5 billion euros.
200,000 jobs are created in Spain, through the brutal execution of 40,000 bulls.
The occupational groups that benefit from this massacre are many: Promoters of the events, simple bullring workers, to the butchers, who subsequently smash the victim and sell it as meat.
The breeding of the bulls and everything related to them must also be taken into account.
They all want to participate in the big pot of the bullfighting industry.
In addition, bullfighting is a tourist attraction, such as paella and flamenco.
The Spanish audience expects good bullfighting in particular. One sits, eats hamburgers and makes videos with cell phone, while down in the arena a living being is brutally massacred.
Of the tourists, Americans and Japanese are the predominant share of bullfighting visitors.
In 2013, the Spanish government protected bullfighting and since then this bloody massacre has been considered “immaterial culture good” in Spain.
That was one of Spain’s biggest cultural shame, wich civilized people only repels and disgusts.
And also has led to enormous economic corruption.
Because of the EU agricultural subsidies, € 130 million is distributed annually to the bull breeders. Under the code name “Agricultural Subsidies” !!! 30 million come from Germany.
It’s about a dirty, with our money-subsidized bullfight mafia, but it’s also supported by a bunch of idiots, brain-sick visitors who enjoy watching a bull being tortured and murdered bit by bit.

Two million Somalis are threatened by famine, and instead of helping, they also take their fish.
China is the world’s largest consumer, but also the largest producer of fish.
To satisfy the growing popular demand for fish and continue exporting seafood abroad, giant fishing vessels from China are now fishing in international waters, illegally.
With dire consequences, because with its huge fleet, China is contributing to the overfishing of the oceans.
Every third fish comes from Chinese production, a study found.
Somali government awards fishing rights to China – after Somalia received $ 200 million from China
The government of Somalia has agreed at the end of December 2018 a loan of $ 200 million for the reconstruction of the port of Mogadishu. The Bank has sole fishing rights on the Somali coast and remains involved in the port until full payment of the loan.
There are some of Africa’s richest fishing grounds in Somali waters, but not for the hungry in Somalia.
This is where the world’s largest offshore fishing fleets fish.
Fish, for the people of the US, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
And not only China has fished waters of Somalia empty, but also Europe. The consequences of this overfishing must now pay the Africans. A plunder by giant fishing vessels in West African waters is responsible for the hunger.
Many of these ships are more than 100 meters long, which means that they are true floating fish factories, including European ships. In an area of 100 km2, 17 foreign giant fishing vessels basically catch all life from the sea.
Imagine the quantities of fish that are taken away from the locals day after day. That must be beyond the imagination of a human being. There are around 20 mega-ships in operation in this small area that can hold thousands of tons of fish!
My comment: For years one reads, the oceans are empty fished, overfished 80% of the stocks. And what is the UN really writing? “world capture fisheries production has been stable in the past decade” !!
And the EU is also plundering fish stocks off the coast of Africa. By purchasing the fishing quotas of other states, the problem of overfishing is exported beyond EU borders.
China’s population now accounts for one-third of global fish consumption – partly because the growing middle class can afford the former delicacies more and more often.
To satisfy this hunger, approximately 200,000 Chinese fishing boats are estimated to be sailing the oceans. They account for more than half of global fishing.
Every fifth fish comes from illegal fishing, an economic scandal with catastrophic ecological consequences. Organized is the mafia of the oceans in a global network that is active on all oceans. Many species are threatened by extinction. And the little fishermen of Somalia are losing their livelihood.
“First the sea dies, then we die,” says Paul Watson.
If we want to stop the exploitation of the oceans, we should not support the crime of fish mafia and delete fish, like all other meat, from our menu.
