Each year, millions of live farmed non-human animals are transported thousands of miles for slaughter—or to places where they will be fattened for slaughter. Live export, defined as “the commercial transport of livestock across national borders,” is still a widespread global occurrence, with around 3 million non-human animals shipped each year from Australia alone.
Every year 416 million animals are transported within Europe or across borders to third countries.
The individuals that are shipped, usually cows, sheep, and pigs, face cramped and overcrowded spaces, extreme temperatures, and exhaustion and dehydration due to lack of food and water.
Secretly taken pictures also show lambs born on board. They lie on the feces-covered floor of the ship. Such births at sea are actually prohibited by law.
But animals are considered as things.
Furthermore, with no room to move, they often become drenched in their own and other individuals’ excrement. It’s estimated that more than 100,000 litres of urine and faeces accumulate on a typical live-export ship every day.
Anonymous for the Voiceless
Many of those who face this fate do not reach their final destination and instead die in transport. High levels of ammonia, due to the build-up of urine, cause the air to become toxic, choking and burning those on board.
In low temperatures, the container becomes like a freezer, and in higher temperatures, like an oven.
Live exports exist because we consider animals not as individuals but as things.
We must stop evaluating animals as our slaves.
We do not practice mass animal husbandry. We operate a mass animal hell.
“Wherever we humans take the right, to sacrifice an animal for our purposes, We commit not only a wrong, but a crime”. Karlheinz Deschner (German religion critics)

Who is the “most dangerous animal”?
While the child lay unconscious on the ground, Jambo sat near him to protect him from other curious gorillas, this happened in 1986! The gorilla died in 1992 at the age of 32 years of a burst artery.
Binti-Jua, the gorilla lady, was on hand in 1996 when a three-year-old climbed over the barrier and fell more than five meters. She took the unconscious boy in her arms and lovingly cared for the child, while the passers-by watched in disbelief.
Binti-Juaprotected the little boy until finally the paramedics arrived. Then she carried him cautiously to the front door of the enclosure and laid it tenderly.
And in May 2016, another kid in the zoo the US city Cincinnati fell into a gorilla enclosure. This time, the gorilla Harabe was not so lucky, he was shot in the rescue attempt.
Therefore, one wants to take their livelihood from the last remaining gorillas in the Congo?
Who is really the “most dangerous animal” now?

And I mean…Three identical events, but two different reactions from the side of the human animal.
The third time in May 2016 (I remember the case) Silverback male Harambe reached for the child and was shot ten minutes later by the most dangerous and cruel animal in the world, the human.
With the right of the stronger. The fundamental fascist right of man to other animals.

Thousands of animals are released on the land of the Republic of Austria without any permission and clearly against the will of the majority of the population, only to be shot down! the ducks are only used for hunting fun. It is a tragedy.
Every year, some oddly talented people expose thousands of breeding ducks from Hungary to the river systems of the Leitha in northern Burgenland, Austria.
A few years ago, they even stretched a net over the Leitha River so that the helpless animals would not be driven downstream.
But that could be banned by intervention from us.
Nevertheless, the ducks regularly land at the beginning of July in temporarily built enclosures on the riverbank, in numerous places. Few days later, the fences disappear and tons of wheat, corn and other food are being released daily in the countryside.
The landed property of these river systems belongs to the Republic of Austria, that is us.And there they are exposed to thousands of breeding cattle from factory farming, without asking us!
Through this fun the water is poisoned, contaminating the landscape. The responsible state councilor does not comment on this. Our ads were ineffective, although the mayor has publicly spoken out against this dropout.
Time to act.
Today, some “hikers” arrived at the river Leitha and accompanied more than 500 of the breeding ducks to Hungary. The still flightless young animals without parents joined the animal rights activists.
Updated: The 500 ducks have now disappeared in the Hungarian riparian forests in the thicket and hopefully safe from the shotgun hunters on the Austrian side. 🐦
My comment:Dr. Dr. Martin Balluch, the chairman of the “Association Against Animal Factories” (VgT) is a longtime and very dedicated animal rights activist.
With his long and courageous commitment he was able to record to some successes in animal welfare: the prohibition of fur farms and wild circuses, the prohibition of laying batteries, the prohibition of animal testing of apes and the caging of meat rabbits, the establishment of animal welfare as a state goal in the Federal Constitution and the ban on crates for mother pigs.
In the coming state elections, in Austria, he runs as an independent candidate for the list “Now” (JETZT) for animal welfare. I hope that he will be elected in Parliament so that he can also exercise political influence over animal rights.

The murders in the meat industry all have the same goal: to make money with the blood and suffering of the animals. This also applies to most politicians and lobbyists.
A few days ago, a ship with 70,000 (still) living beings has been send from the Romanianport Midia to the Midle East.
The hangmen of the Muslim and Jewish slaughterhouses are a bit different from the hangmen of European slaughterhouses.
To understand this, the following video will help:
“Shot in December 2018in a slaughterhouse in Aveyron, these images show the legal abuse of slaughter without stunning allowed in France by derogation for the Jewish and Muslim cults.
According to the INRA Animal Pain expert report, an animal shot without stunning can remain conscious for up to 11 minutes”.
The meat lobby is located in the individual countries, which are not interested in getting a handle on the transport problem.
Animal transports mean subsidies from Brussels and that is why corrupt politicians are involved in the business (as we see in the case of the 70,000 sheep from Romania to Midle East ).
In Europe we have something called Animal Welfare.
On the paper, we are right at the forefront.
First section-German animal welfare law, § 1
“Nobody is allowed to cause pain or harm to an animal without an acceptable reason”.
For this we -the Europeans- have entrusted to some brain-brillant commissioners the preservation of this law. With our voice and our money.
In recent years, however, we observe a provocative cooperation (man calls it tolerance) of the “competent” commissioners with the animal transport mafia, and especially with countries that, as poor and weak EU partners, the meat business under any circumstances operate because that’s their main financial source. With devastating consequences for the animals.
They try to enforce their own interests and power games, nobody controls them, ( because according to EU, animal welfare is “country thing” ) so their chances of maximizing their profit are very high. Let’s put it this way: they have all the options to live from the animas und from their suffering. And they do it.
And now to the case “Midia”, Romania.
“Nobody is allowed to transport 40-degree-a-day animals without water and food, unless one manages to make millions of them.” says the brain-brilliant Commissioner Andriukaitis a word of power, but finally the EU has learned to respect the law of the strongest, and thus ships the Kuwaiti Transport Mafia(with the permission of the Romanian Minister) the 70,000 animal victimsin countries that do not need to give an “acceptable” reason for the muslim massacre, because they consider animal welfare as unacceptable!
With that, the topic animal welfare law is done!
At least for our continent, it’s not even worth the paper it was written on.
What is it about finally here?
It`s about torment, it’s about deliberate, illegal animal cruelty.
For days in the ship, with pre-programmed and painful death for many animals and with an unimaginable hell for the survivors. That`s about it!
And further, it is about the outrageous hypocrisy of the EU Commissioner, who allows all this, because “who is brutally killed in other cultures, is none of our business”!

German Development Minister Gerd Müller returns to Germany on Sunday after a week’s state visit to Brazil and complains that the rainforest is being cut down!!
Clearcutting: According to the Brazilian space research institute INPE alone in June 2019, 920 square kilometers of Amazon rainforest were destroyed. This is an increase of 88 percent over June 2018
His mission was to further develop the cooperation projects, in particular for the protection of the rainforest, the indigenous population and the Amazon Fund.
He says in the media: “I expect more engagement in the Amazon (!!!)
Why does he say it in the media and not his colleague, Minister and lobbyist of Agriculture,Julia Klöckner?
It is well known that Germany not only supplies Brazil with dangerous pesticides, which are banned even in the EU, but is also responsible for cutting down the Amazon in Brazil.
Germany is not only one of the largest milk producers, but also one of the largest meat producers in the world. Subsidized with tax money!
Germany produces 8 million tons of meatevery year! In order to be able to produce that amount of meat at all, it needs food for the animals.
Germany imports most of the soya from Latin America. Incidentally, the most important supplier of beef to the EU is Argentina. To be able to produce this amount of soy, forests are cleared and burned.
An extraordinary ecosystem with a high biodiversity disappears.
In 2016, this was about 2.9 million tonnes of soy and soy products.
This soya is used by food and meat processors and is used for the rearing of chickens, pigs and cattle or for the production of eggs and dairy products, which are sold in manyGerman supermarkets and restaurants.
So if the topic of Amazon, climate change or CO2 is discussed, why is the issue of factory farming not mentioned?
Animal products are associated with high greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and inefficient land use!
Cheap meat, milk and eggs can only be produced with cheap soybeans, which, however, cost the countries of origin expensive:Deforested rainforests, destroyed environment, poisoning of humans and animals are the result.
Only incompetent and irresponsible politicians have Germany.
We are dealing with a ruling clique, with corrupt oligarchs who are at least interested in the rights of animals and the rescue of the climate.
Everywhere scandals and manure stands in slaughterhouses we read lately.
And instead of finally abolishing factory farming or at least punishing criminal slaughterhouse operators, the slaughterhouse’s girlfriend, Agriculture Minister Klöckner, wants stricter penalties for activists exposing these crimes.
No more subsidies for the meat.
Meat consumption must be private, as well as smoking.
This state-subsidized factory farming must cost as much as the damage it does.
I consider it a political prostitution to subsidize meat.

How primitive and anti-social can people be in the middle of Europe?
Bullfighting is a lucrative business.The arguments “tradition” and “culture” are only an invention of the bull mafia to get appropriate EU subsidies for this murderous spectacle.
The animal cruelty committed before the fight is kept secret from the public.Animals are tormented with devilish ingenuity.
Animal welfare organizations continue to fight with education campaigns against the martyrdom of the bulls.
Unfortunately, Spain is overwhelmed with its social system and invests in this “tradition” of the primitive, millions instead of investing in the education system.
Furthermore, in the high season and with thunderous applause from the spectators, around 30,000 animals die each year in the arenas.
Almost none of the few brain-sick Europeans who regard this form of sadism as a “culture” and pay to see how a defenseless animal is massacred knows what really happens before the fight.
We will tell them that!
It starts with the days of transporting the bulls to the arena. In narrow containers they are brought on trucks in burning sunshine. Some lose up to 30 kilos and are so weakened that they collapse as soon as they are driven out of the stalls with iron forks.
Then the horns are counted. The animals are clamped in a headgear to saw off the horns, and then they are filed in a natural looking pointed shape.
This is for two reasons: first, to weaken the animal by the long-lasting, unbearable pain – inside the horns are as sensitive nerves, as in a tooth – and second, the bull loses the sense of the distance by the reduction and therefore always pushes into the void.
At the same time, the horns are also drilled in several places to the nerve and planted in the holes wood splinters, so that any defensive maneuvers for the bull to hell’s torment.
So that he can not shout of pain, the vocal cord is severed in some battle sites.
Unfortunately, Spain is a country that has and spends very little money on education. This is also noticeable at every point and also when dealing with animals. The bullfighting is televised and promoted in schools as a cultural heritage to the children.
Education and the future of Spanish children is not worth a penny in and for Spain.
Spain is at the top of animal cruelty as an EU country.
With bullfighting, Spain holds a “tradition” that has been proven to originate from Gitanos and was invented during the darkest period of our earth, the same in the time of the Inquisition.
As the Pisa study shows, Spain is at the very back end of education in Europe, as evidenced by the fact that traditions from the Middle Ages are perceived with enthusiasm that only scare and disgust every educated person.
Bull fight and bull festivals violate every ethic of modern civilized countries and societies.
The ridiculous pseudo-arguments of the Taurinos about the “culture” and “tradition” of the bloody spectacle are so stupid, in fact false and hypocritical that they can not convince a single person with intellect and education.
The Spanish Animal Protection Party PACMA is making every effort to abolish this shameful barbarity. So far without much success.
It is still these mentally weak proletarians, these dwarves of morality, the Taurinos,those who pull the land into the dirt all over Europe and lead us to a paraphrase of the well-known saying of“Isaac Bashevis Singer:
“When it comes to bullfighting, everyone becomes a Franco.”

In the Dutch city of Utrecht, 316 bus stops have now become an oasis for bees and other pollinators. These bus stops not only look good and help prevent bee mortality, but also provide better air quality in Utrecht.
The fact that something has to be done to tackle pollution in the cities has already arrived in many countries.
Not yet in Germany !!
The bus stops are now covered in sedum plants – succulents that can purify the air – and these attract bees whose populations have declined, as well as butterflies.
The roofs also absorb fine dust and store rainwater.
Sedum plants are robust and winter resistant. This plant is a subspecies of succulents.
Like the succulents, sedum plants can live everywhere due to the very robust construction of the leaves and thus also on roofs.
Bee mortality is increasing alarmingly worldwide – and also in the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, a Bee Foundation has been set up, which has been working for bees since 2010, protecting them from extinction.
The citizens of Utrechtare also invited to turn their own roofs into “green roofs” and they can apply for special subsidies. The city suggests residents replace their worn-out roofs with green roofs instead of having them traditionally renovated.
My comment: A great idea that every city and every country should implement!
Everyone talks about the climate, nobody does anything.
The last media manipulation with the “climate Greta” is known, and except for the tremendous media attention this campaign received, something else did not work.
The Dutch have started to protect the climate in practical areas, and that is effective and useful.
People do not learn from lectures, people learn from examples that come from governments in the form of organized solutions.
We can hope to report from here soon about the green roofs of private houses in Holland.
