Society and Truth.
Sunday 3/12 there was an action from “anonymous for the voiceless” in my town.
Two people wear the Guy Fawkes mask on their faces and a poster in their hands with the word “truth”.
So nobody could see the person and recognize him.
But as soon as a passerby reads the word, he will be curious about the people next door.
These two other people standing next door carry two laptops in their hands and show pictures from the slaughterhouse.
And they also wear masks on their faces.
I also participated in this action, I was the person with the mask and the poster.
Many people were shocked at the cruel pictures.
But most tried to avoid the place of action.
I could hear some “arguments” coming from people who have come to dialogue but just to justify their meat consumption:
1. My conscience is pure, because I buy my meat from the farmer next door.
2. You can actually slaughter animals in small farms, painless, and my neighbor does that.
3. I am also pet-friendly, I also have two dogs myself.
4. Actually, animals have been always slaughtered, that’s natural.
5. If anything was useful to that stupid vegan diet, it would have prevailed.
6. Although I have no idea about animal rights and animal ethics, all this is argumentatively totally weak.
7. It’s just like that, we cannot change anything.
It was already cold and I could not see much effect on this action.
That’s why I went home after two hours.
On the way home, I thought: our problem is Civil Obedience.
Our problem is that people around the world unconditionally obey the propaganda of the meat mafia, and with their obedience they allow the agonizing death of billions of beings.
Our problem is that we remain obedient, even if we look at these pictures, those of today, when we see crime, sadism, violence, we still remain obedient to a system that would not exist without this obedience.
When I came home and restarted my PC, I read some very good news that healed my frustration with the Anonymous campaign: the signatures against our Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt are over one million already.
This minister voted in favor of glyphosate, now more than a million people demand his resignation.
It was good news which gave me hope again, that the next Minister of Agriculture in Germany will have less criminal energy against animals than Schmidt.

The European Commission has called on the public to participate in a consultation to gather views on the ivory trade in Europe and what actions should be taken against the illegal ivory trade.
Global elephant populations are rapidly declining, with 20,000-30,000 elephants killed every year. Meanwhile, the ivory trade has grown and demand fuels both the legal and illegal trades. The EU is the single largest exporter of ivory items, acting as a main transit route for ivory coming out of Africa; the products mainly destined for Asian markets.
The EU is lagging behind, which undermines international efforts to ban the trade. This stokes global demand and increases the pressure elephant populations.
The elephants need you to speak up for them and before Friday 8th December!
If you have problems with the above, then try this link – SAV:
It will take about 10 minutes to complete and you can save a draft of your response until you are ready to submit. ADI will also be submitting a full response to the consultation.
Thank you for taking action for the elephants.
A similar consultation process is being carried out in the UK and we will be in touch soon to ask for your help once again. If we don’t stand up for the elephants now, they will be gone.
To support our campaigns to protect elephants and other threatened wildlife,
Jan Creamer
President

Germany is currently running a campaign against fur.
It is organized by “Deutsches Tierschutzbüro” and aims to force the department store “Breuninger” to be fur free. This department store is quite noble and has several branches throughout Germany.
On 21st and 22nd November the activists also came to my city. They told it me by mail and I said I would be there, even though I did not belong to this organization.
From the photos one can see that it was a good, strong action.
Therefore, the acceptance in the society was very big, many people hugged me and wished “keep it up, we need you” !!
We had four journalists from four different media.
Above – A journalist (Red) interviews a campaigner (Blue)
And they were not only there; but they also reported on the action via media outlets.
All those who have experience with such actions know that the most important thing is talking to people.
The 8,000 flyers we distributed are no guarantee that we have convinced the same amount of people against fur.
But most of them have sought the dialogue while reading the flyer, and that is positive for me.
Campaigns (unlike to demos) have the goal of putting a particular company under pressure to force it to refrain from its bloody business. This goal can only be achieved if we go public and get the support of society.
Therefore, there is also a petition in support of the campaign.
Not real animals – but a display of (mock) fur bearing animals.
When the police came to tell us on Wednesday, November 22nd, that the department store was complaining against the loud speaker, a lot of people were around us and started scolding the police: “Let the activists be in peace, we need them, they do something good” said some.
That’s where politics starts, and I think you have to go out on the streets again, take action, come to the old forms of persuasion and education that used to be successfully practiced many years ago by political parties.
I firmly believe that animal welfare should become a political debate, and we can achieve that only if we mobilize the masses against the politicians who are responsible for crime and exploitation against animals.
The store – ‘Breuninger’ which sells fur
The campaign is not over yet, it’s still running in other cities and in December we’ll be back “on the streets” in my city for two days!
And the first success is already there: In Stuttgart, after our action, the department store “Breuninger” removed all fur parts from its show window.
Best Regards to all

Since 2000 the wolf is back in Germany.
In public, this has been sold as “reintroduction of the wolf”.
The hunters were the first to spread this lie.
But the truth is: the wolf was not settled, but he returned by himself. They are told a false story, because only under this pretext can the hunters make a claim to shoot the wolf
Until recently, the law prevented the shooting of the wolf in Germany, the hunters were of the opinion that it was a nonsensical law, and since 2000 eighteen wolves have been illegally killed in Germany, six of them alone in Saxony, as WWF experts confirm.
But the dark numbers are much higher, because even whole packs just disappear from the scene over a night.
For some time, six wolves have broken out of an enclosure in Bayer, the hunt has begun, an animal has already been shot.
In Brandenburg hunters also make warnings in the forest:
“Danger! Wolf home area ” and the like, or” Wolf? No thanks”!!
They cultivate hysteria and panic in the population: the wolf kills sheep, the wolf is aggressive and dangerous for humans, the wolf causes accidents …
There has never been such a war in Germany against these intelligent and shy animals as in recent years.
Right now, when I write this line, I got the message: in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the police now have a free hand to shoot wolves. “Human life is more important than that of wolves,” the hunting community tells us.
Even injured wolves should be shot.
Exactly 381,821 Germans had a hunting license in the hunting year 2015/16. In a country with 82.67 million inhabitants, this is 0.46% of the population.
I find it incomprehensible, with what arrogance from this puny position, the hunters want to dictate to the rest of the population what it has to think in terms of nature conservation. And they take the right to shoot endangered species under the guise of hunting as amusement.
That’s what I mean by fascism against the weaker.
My best regards
Venus
As a follow on to this article from Venus, we need to show you the work of Shaun and his devotion to wolves. He is the man amongst wolves – living proof that every wolf does not have to be shot on sight by those who claim to protect us all – the hunters !
A man among wolves – the Englishman who gave up everything to live with wolves, and become a pack member.
Shaun Ellis has joined a pack of wolves, living and behaving like them. Abandoned at birth, three wolf pups are raised by Shaun who then teaches them the ways of the wild. As they grow up, he feeds, sleeps and breaths the same air as his wolves and in return they give him a place in the pack. Seeing the world as a wolf, Shaun takes a step further and comes up with a plan to help wild wolves threatened in Poland (which is very close to Germany !).

| Dear Mark, |
As I write this, gunmen are trying to kill every
street dog in the entire country of Jordan.
|
Dogs are being hunted down and shot because
the country’s religious leader has declared a
holy war on dogs.
|
Because of this, men armed with automatic
weapons are systematically killing every street
dog they see!
|
Mark, I am saddened beyond words that such
a terrible thing is happening and with your help,
I intend to do something about it. As a first step
my team is making contact with the Jordanian
government asking it to end this horrible cruelty.
|
Jordan’s most senior religious figure, Grand Mufti,
Dr. Mohammad Al-Khalaileh, issued a fatwa
– a religious instruction to Muslims – to kill
the dogs. He quoted Prophet Mohammed to justify
the slaughter.
|
Because a fatwa is binding on Muslims, municipalities
across the country started hiring snipers.
Thousands of dogs have been killed and the
massacre continues every day.
|
Mark, as animal lovers we have no option but
to fight this nightmare by every means possible.
“It is our duty as animal lovers to do whatever
we can to stop this dog genocide. Before there
are no dogs left in Jordan.”
|
Mark, we are so terribly saddened by this and
we urge you and all our supporters to share the
fact that Prophet Mohammad repeatedly forbade
cruelty to animals, saying: “Whoever is kind to
the creatures of God is kind to himself.”
|
My job is to get this message through and to care
for those dogs we can on the ground. We are
already searching for land where we can create
a safe haven for some of the dogs.
|
The most important immediate first steps are
to spread the word about the unspeakable cruelty
and horror that is unfolding.
|
| For the animals |
| Brian Davies, Founder |

TIBET’S HIDDEN PRISONERS
“When the black cloth was taken off my head, I found myself in a big room with […] all sorts of torture devices laid out in front of me. They told me to have a look at these devices and I told myself that I was doomed to being beaten that day” – former prisoner and torture survivor Golog Jigme
Imagine being snatched from the street or even your home. You are loaded into a police car and driven to an unknown location. Your friends, colleagues and family don’t know where you are. Nor do you. It is like you have disappeared from the face of the earth.
You don’t know why you are being held, you don’t know what your captors want from you. They may have something that they want you to confess. They may have decided you have committed a crime.
For scores of Tibetans, this situation is not just some horror film, it is a horrifying reality. Whether they have protested to resist the occupation, written a blog post that the authorities disapproved of, or even just flown their own flag, Tibetans have been taken away, detained without charge, tortured and sentenced to long prison sentences after secret or sham trials.
Enforced disappearances are designed to punish Tibetans who resist or fall foul of the occupation, and to scare other Tibetans away from opposing the occupation or freely expressing their culture. Free Tibet is standing alongside Tibet’s hidden prisoners. We want to find the prisoners that China has tried to hide, shine a light on their cases, and raise pressure for their release.
