BAD News – EU Project Fishermen Kill Prehistoric Shark
A shark from the time of the dinosaur falls as a victim of an EU- Project !!!
The message I read in Independent today is purposely written with so many useless but impressive details that readers’ interest is focused only on the details and not on the substance: shark of dinosaur origin, description of the gills, size, Width of the fish, weight, color, he has sharp teeth, he has a lot of teeth … three quarters of the article deals exclusively with it!
And now to the substance: if a fisherman who “incidentally” works for an EU project that has the function of “minimizing unwanted catches in commercial fishing“, captures and kills one of the rarest shark species in its web, then …
we can imagine the likelihood of saving even simpler fish with the help of such an idiot.
We can imagine how many rare and not rare species of fish fall victim to such incompetent and unfit EU –Project fishermen, and not “accidentally” but systematically destroyed!
So if marine life depends on such a lucrative “project” of the EU and is led by dangerous and incompetent idiots, then these animals will always be the first to fall victim to this criminal entity.
Best Regards
Venus
P.S: only to information: Every year about 60 people die of sharks.
Every year, 100,000,000 sharks die by the human hand, because of human cruelty.
GOOD News:

Dear Mark,
I read this interesting report about chicken meat, and immediately wanted to give even more joy to all those, who prepare joyful the meat-menü for the weekend!!
Robert Koch Institute: Chicken meat carries the risk of intestinal inflammation!!
(www.Merkur.de): In the waiting room of doctors sit more and more people with stomach aches and diarrhea. The Robert Koch Institute examined the increase of these cases. Result: The greatest risk comes from Campylobacter pathogens.
Behind diarrhea and severe abdominal pain is often the bacterial pathogen Campylobacter: The biggest risk of such bacterial enteritis is according to a study in Germany from chicken meat.
About one third of the illnesses could be avoided if the risk factor were eliminated, say experts of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in a recent publication.
Insufficiently heated poultry meat has long been regarded as an important source of infection.
Campylobacter cause inflammation of the small intestine, which is often associated with diarrhea and fever.
The number of reported Campylobacter diseases has been increasing since 2001, compared with around 74,000 cases last year.
It is thus the most common bacterial notifiable disease in Germany.
Experts suspect, according to RKI, that the true number of diseases in the population is “almost ten times higher”. Salmonella is significantly less frequently registered in 2016, with 13 000 reported illnesses.
The authors consider as major risk factors for Campylobacter disease, eating out and preparing prepackaged chicken meat at home. Among other things, well over 2000 questionnaires that had been proven to fill patients had been evaluated. They say that by 2018, Campylobacter limits would be set on poultry carcasses in the European Union.
Campylobacter are bacteria from the intestinal tract of animals, they can get on the meat during slaughter.
Raw milk, minced meat and sausage are also sources of infection.
Also, kitchen hygiene is important: when using the same cutting boards, for example, can pass from raw meat to salad.
But the best thing to do is not to eat meat.
For the welfare of the animals and for your own health!
Venus

“Are we genetically predisposed to be cruel and violent? In the animal world there is no. Can we change this sad world?
In the time of Hitler, we had made people to beasts. They were the Nazis.
We do not know if these were genetically programmed to become what they have become.
People were brought up to do evil. If something like that was possible, that makes us believe that we can also educate people in the opposite direction, namely as good.
We must believe this, otherwise our struggle will not make sense if we are not convinced that we can enlighten, persuade, and change people.
Apart from that, I believe that most crimes against animals are financially hardship and not from pure sadism.
At least these crimes, which are associated with a financial gain.
The economy is stronger than morals and it is mostly the poor who exploit the animals, torture them and treat them as money-bearing objects.
I do not believe the world is worse today than before in his relationship to animals.
But today we have more possibilities to inform us about animals than before.
And that is why we are often demoralized by the number of crimes.
Of course, there are also the psychopaths in our society, who torment animals by pure sadism and sick psychic, without having a financial profit from it.
But they are a minority and therefore no proof that man is genetically inclined to violence. (The percentage of mentally disturbed persons among such perpetrators is estimated to be about to ten percent.)
This, of course, is only my personal view and interpretation of the profile of the animal cruelty.
Best regards
Venus

October 8 ·
This past month was one of the most exhausting and excruciating months in the history of our cat sanctuary. Many of the senior kitties became ill due to their ages, and we have suffered the loss of three of our fighters – two little sisters, just a couple of tiny kitty babies, lost their battle with FIP and a couple of days ago, Zack succumbed to meningitis.
The struggle in keeping this Cat Sanctuary running doesn’t get easier due to our constant debts. Yes, we’ve been registered for almost a decade, and no, the state nor the local authorities provide our kitties with a single cent. It seems like the animals here aren’t on anyone’s priority list but ours.
For years Felix Cat Shelter has been trying to help the community by taking in as many abandoned or ill kitties as possible. Once again, we are relying on the goodness and the grace of all of the kindhearted people out there who will find a place in their hearts to support our sanctuary’s mission and help us keep this place running. Not for us, but for all of our residents who have nowhere else to go.
Perhaps our sanctuary would’ve been more likable if we tried to make our entire story about us and us alone by constantly complaining that we’re having a rough time because we have families which don’t see us as often as our kitties do. Moaning that we’re too busy and don’t even have time for ourselves as we are taking care of such a huge number of animals and also have to go to work, whining about our health problems, incessantly lying as to the number of our sanctuary residents or exaggerating when talking about their health, vet treatment and the costs of such.
Yes, perhaps that would make us more appealing to many kindhearted people, but that would be a lie. Felix Cat Shelter was established because of the kitties and that’s the way it shall be for as long as we’re around. Perhaps our residents would have been better off if we were prone to telling sad and pathetic fabricated stories instead of simply telling the truth. If things were the other way around, we share the opinion that our residents would be ashamed of us. However, no matter how hard it gets, no matter how many misfortunes keep following us, we can always take pride in everything we did for every single one of our kitties. Honestly, we had more than our fair share of “having had enough” or “too much”, but we will be trying to keep this sanctuary afloat for as long as we can.
Well, since we’re not fond of misleading people, our sanctuary’s mission is hanging in the balance once again. Thanks to many of you, we’ve been able to reduce our last month’s veterinary debt for 80 Euros. But, since then, we’ve had more sick kitties (Mastika, Giuseppe, Grania, Venus, Serena, and Zack) and our total debt is now 330 Euros. Obligatory annual vaccinations of all of the cats against rabies is just around the corner and we have no idea of how we’re going to cover the costs for that either.
We still owe 200 euros for canned wet food and if it weren’t for the Danish group UFFAC (who has donated significant amounts of canned cat food to our cats), we don’t know how we would’ve made it through the end of the month. The cold days have already started and consequently, the shelter residents are craving more food. They are not spoiled, they are just cats and if we want to keep them the way they should be kept, one of their meals has to be wet canned food because kibble just isn’t enough. Also, many of our residents are elderly cats with bad or missing teeth, and wet canned food is all they can eat.
And once again, we are here to humbly ask for your help.
Please donate and help us keep our cat sanctuary running and its mission persisting.
