friend of mine.”

No to the slaughter of stray dogs in El Jadida!

We must sterilize our dogs rather than slaughter them with rifles. The cries of pain of dogs were heard throughout the city following their massacre at night rises the author of the petition.

Non au massacre des chiens errants à El Jadida!

Il faut stériliser nos chiens plutôt que de les massacrer au fusil. Les cris de douleur de chiens se sont fait entendre dans toute la ville suite à leur massacre la nuit s’insurge l’auteur de la pétition.

Nein zum Abschlachten streunender Hunde in El Jadida!

Wir müssen unsere Hunde sterilisieren, anstatt sie mit Gewehren zu töten. Die Schmerzensschreie von Hunden wurden in der ganzen Stadt nach ihrem Massaker in der Nacht gehört, so der Autor der Petition.

Menschen vor Profite: Pflegenotstand stoppen!

Unterschreibe unseren Aufruf an Frau Merkel:

Frau Merkel, in deutschen Krankenhäusern fehlen 100 000 Pflegekräfte. Das bedeutet: zehntausende vermeidbare Unfälle und Todesfälle, mangelnde Hygiene und unzumutbarer Stress für die Beschäftigten.

In der Altenpflege fehlen mindestens 40 000 Stellen. Das Leben in den Pflegeheimen ist für viele alte Menschen unerträglich. Die Arbeit mit Menschen muss uns mehr wert sein: Kein Lohn in der Altenpflege darf unter 14,50 Euro pro Stunde liegen.

Seminarleitung: Charlotte Probst, Mag. Martin Walzel

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren!
Das Seminar richtet sich an PädagogInnen und interessierte TierschützerInnen, die sich ein präzises Sachwissen über die Mensch-Tier-Problematik aneignen wollen. Das Seminar selbst bietet sowohl eine Einführung in die Tierschutzarbeit als auch eine Information in die zum Teil komplizierten Themen, sowie didaktische und methodische Hilfestellungen für die praktische Arbeit.
Seit 2009 ist dieses Seminar eine Einrichtung an der Karl Franzens Universität Graz und wird in Kooperation mit der UNI for LIFE abgehalten.
Inhalte:
* Wechselbeziehung zwischen Tierschutz und Menschenschutz
* Ethik in der Gesellschaft (Tier-) Ethik
* Vegetarismus und Veganismus
* Neue Formen artgerechter Tierhaltung
* Kinder und das Haustier Hund – so können Begegnungen und Bindung gelingen
* Problematik der Tierversuche
* Biologischer Landbau – Zielsetzung, Richtlinien, Auswirkungen
* Tier-Mensch-Beziehungen: weltanschauliche Aspekte
* Tierrechtsphilosophie
* Tierrechte in der Schule
* Motivationswissenschaft / Braindesign
* Speziesismus in der Sprache
* Aktuelle Themen des Tierschutzes
* Exkursion: Tierschutz vor Ort – aus der Praxis für die Praxis
* Vortragstechniken und Unterrichtsmethoden – Theorie für die Praxis
* Vorführen von Musterstunden durch erprobte TierschutzlehrerInnen
* Lehrauftritt – Übungen für die Praxis. Die Vorführung der Musterstunde – ca 15 Minuten – ist Pflicht und auch Voraussetzung für die Seminarbestätigung der ATMB
und auch für das Universitätszertifikat. Jeder Vortrag wird gemeinsam besprochen und so erkennen sie selbst ihre Stärken und Schwächen.
* Weitergabe eigener über 30-jähriger Erfahrungswerte durch die Veranstalter uvm.

Folgende Literatur wird sehr empfohlen:
* Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben, von Albert Schweitzer, dies ist der Seminargrundgedanke und somit Pflichtlektüre.

Wir bitten das beigefügte Anmeldeformular ehest zu retournieren. Anmeldeschluss ist Mitte Juni. Den Seminarbeitrag bitten wir bis Mitte Juni zu überweisen.

P.S. Wir möchten darauf hinweisen, dass Hunde und andere Tiere aus organisatorischen Gründen nicht zum Seminar mitgebracht werden dürfen!

Remembering Bob Hunter – “I’m not going anywhere”.

Watson and Hunter block the Arctic Endeavour.

I think this is one of the greatest photos ever (Mark).

Paul Watson and the late Bob Hunter block the movement of the ‘Arctic Endeavour’ – thus attempting to save the murder of whitecoat seal pups.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hunter_(journalist)

In March of 1976, he and Paul Watson (now Sea Shepherd) stood on the heaving ice floes off the coast of Labrador as a large sealing ship bore down on them. 

As the vessel bore down on them and the ice cracked and split beneath their feet, I (Paul) said to Bob,

“when it splits, I’ll jump to the left and you to the right.”

Bob looked straight ahead and calmly said, “I’m not going anywhere.”

And he meant it.

Above – Bob Hunter.

 

 

 

The really natur of the hunter.

 

 

I order hunters to the insane killer!
Seen from the biological point of view, this caste is one of the prehistoric apes that missed the evolution of their conspecific, and remained on the trees!

In a highly civilized society, they would be treated to an institution for the rehabilitation of their mental retardation!

In uncivilized societies, they go into the pub of their villages, with the smile of a wiper in their mouth, and with the “bouquet” of victims in their hands they shoot down the souvenir photo of their massacre, so that the descendants do not forget, that even nature makes its mistakes and produces malformations of a biological and moral kind.

England: 5 People To Be Charged With Hunt Fox Cub Suffering.

https://www.league.org.uk/news/alleged-fox-cub-killing

Posted

The League Against Cruel Sports has reacted to the announcement by West Mercia Police that five people are to be charged with animal cruelty offences after footage appeared to show live fox cubs being taken into a kennel of hunting hounds in Herefordshire.

It follows the animal welfare charity releasing footage in June 2016 of two fox cubs being taken into the kennels separately before two dead bodies are then filmed being dumped into a wheelie bin.

The scenes were filmed by the Hunt Investigation Team, supported by the League Against Cruel Sports, which is campaigning to strengthen the Hunting Act.

Martin Sims, Director of Investigations at the League Against Cruel Sports, said:

“We welcome the announcement by police that five people will face multiple charges of animal cruelty.

“It’s taken two years to get to this point but we hope justice will now be done – in a modern compassionate society, animals should be protected from cruelty and suffering.

“The fear is that if the charges are proven, it provides evidence of fox hunts training hounds to kill and that fox hunting is still widespread across the British countryside.

“The most recent polling indicates that 85 per cent of the British public oppose fox hunting so I hope they back our calls to strengthen the Hunting Act.”

Petition

The League is encouraging members of the public to sign their petition titled ‘stop the killing of animals by hunts in the UK’. Full details can be found here.

The Holocaust Never Ended – It Just Changed Species. Now For The Animals, It Is An ‘Eternal Treblinka’.

 

 

For the animals, an Eternal Treblinka

This book explores the similar attitudes and methods behind modern society’s treatment of animals and the way humans have often treated each other, most notably during the Holocaust.

The book’s epigraph and title are from “The Letter Writer,” a story by the Yiddish writer and Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer: “In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.”

The first part of the book (Chapter 1-2) describes the emergence of human beings as the master species and their domination over the rest of the inhabitants of the earth.

The second part (Chapters 3-5) examines the industrialization of slaughter (of both animals and humans) that took place in modern times.

The last part of the book (Chapters 6-8) profiles Jewish and German animal advocates on both sides of the Holocaust, including Isaac Bashevis Singer himself.

The Foreword is by Lucy Rosen Kaplan, former attorney for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and daughter of Holocaust survivors.

Her foreword, the Preface and Afterword, excerpts from the book, chapter synopses, and an international list of supporters can be found on the book’s website at: http://www.powerfulbook.com

 

 

 

USA: News from the Center for Biological Diversity.

 

Wildlife Refuges No Safe Haven From Dangerous Toxics

America’s national wildlife refuges are being doused with hundreds of thousands of pounds of dangerous agricultural pesticides every year, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity.

Our report, No Refuge, reveals that more than 490,000 pounds of pesticides were dumped on commodity crops like corn, soybeans and sorghum grown in national wildlife refuges in 2016. The analysis was conducted with records obtained by the Center under the Freedom of Information Act.

“These refuges are supposed to be a safe haven for wildlife, but they’re becoming a dumping ground for poisonous pesticides,” said the Center’s Hannah Connor. “Americans assume these public lands are protected, and I think most people would be appalled that so many pesticides are being used to serve private, intensive agricultural operations.”

Victory: Taiwanese Humpback Dolphin Gets U.S. Protection

There are fewer than 75 wild Taiwanese humpback dolphins left in the world. But good news this week: In response to a petition from the Center and allies, the National Marine Fisheries Service protected these incredibly rare dolphins under the Endangered Species Act.

The long-snouted, mottled-gray mammals are threatened by gillnet fishing, pollution, boat traffic and development along Taiwan’s west coast, including proposed construction of large wind farms. The endangered listing will let the United States provide expertise and resources to support Taiwan in conserving these animals.

“This could save these dolphins from extinction,” said Abel Valdivia, an ocean scientist at the Center. “International cooperation is the key to saving certain critically endangered species.”

Suit Launched to Save Beautiful Borderlands Moth

The Center, Defenders of Wildlife and Patagonia Area Resource Alliance have filed a notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in order to secure Endangered Species Act protection for the rare, gorgeous Patagonia eyed silkmoth.

This moth — whose bright orange-yellow wings sport large, striking “eyespots” — clings to survival in only one U.S. location, an abandoned cemetery in Arizona, and two places in Mexico. We filed our notice after the Service rejected a petition to protect the moth.

Petitioned Filed to Save Texas and New Mexico Lizard

Thousands of acres of habitat for the rare dunes sagebrush lizard are now at risk from oil and gas drilling and sand-mining projects in Texas and New Mexico — so the Center filed a petition Tuesday to protect the lizards under the Endangered Species Act, along with the habitat critical to their survival.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided not to protect the species in 2012, in part because Texas promised to implement its own voluntary conservation plan — finalized by then-state official Susan Combs, who’s now a senior Trump appointee for fish, wildlife and parks at the Interior Department. The plan, which Combs oversaw through 2015, has failed to conserve the lizard.

Climate Change Heats Up: CO2 Hits New High

 

Planet Earth just reached a disturbing milestone: Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are now higher than ever recorded.

For 60 years the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii has continuously measured carbon dioxide. Data from April 2018 show that for the first time ever, atmospheric CO2 exceeded 410 parts per million. Meanwhile, to meet goals established by the 2015 Paris Accord, we need to be reducing levels of carbon dioxide to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

Why does the poultry breeder Wiesenhof invest in fake meat?

For about three years, various startups have been working on producing artificial meat from muscle cells. Celebrity investors such as Bill Gates, Richard Branson and Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal believe in the lab product, investing millions in young biotech companies. One of them is the Israeli startup Supermeat, which also involved the PHW Group in January. Behind the poultry farmer from Lower Saxony are brands like Wiesenhof and Bruzzzler.  Wiesenhof is one of the largest German poultry farmers.

 

Marcus Keitzer manages the investments and takeovers of the PHW Group. In an interview he talks about the poultry breeder’s the startup plans.

Mr. Keitzer, when will Beyond Meat’s burgers be available in Germany?
We plan to start in the summer to serve our customers – initially in the catering system. However, one must not forget that Beyond Meat is still a startup and is therefore very busy in production in the USA. So, we have to be a bit flexible as well.

Will the vegan burgers also be on the market?
Absolute. We will not confine ourselves to specific channels. But when exactly that will happen, I cannot say.      In January, Supermeat completed its round of financing, including with capital from the PHW Group.

 

When was it decided to invest in the startup from Israel?
We monitored the topic of in vitro meat over a period of two to three years and analyzed how Wiesenhof can get even closer to the subject last year. In 2017, we decided that the group can only be close to the industry when it joins one of the startups in the in-vitro sector.

 

What is your involvement with Supermeat concretely?
First, we are there in the observer role. In the current first step, we support where we can, but of course, in-vitro technology is not our core competence. Our contribution is very clear when the product is ready for the market. For example, we then consider which product categories could be offered, how the sale will be organized in the European market and will certainly be able to provide support in logistics and distribution.

Are there any plans when the laboratory meat will go on sale?
I wish I could give an answer. But realistically, we’re talking about three to five years here. And even that is not a conclusively reliable statement. Producing a single in-vitro burger or an in-vitro chicken breast is one thing; to go into industrial production, another. The industry still faces great challenges at this point.

 

Prior to the funding round of Supermeat, the PHW Group never appeared as an investor. In which startups is the PHW group still involved?
For us, the topic of startup and investment is not new. Supermeat is not the first participation, but certainly the most prominent. We are relatively active in the field and seek exchanges with young entrepreneurs. For us, it makes sense to help startups with smaller investments – but do not always make it public.


Tyson Foods is one of the world’s largest meat producers and also involved in Beyond Meat. To what extent is the US company competition to Wiesenhof?

I think their strategy and ours are going a bit in the same direction. Tyson Foods is picking up the same trends as us and they also have their own venture capital fund – even though Tyson is a different order of magnitude. However, the stake in Beyond Meat is not a competitive issue for us because Europe is not a core market for Tyson Foods and we do not serve the American market.

 

The big butcher Tönnies has retired his veggie line because the sales numbers have dropped. And according to GfK, the market for meat substitutes is also declining. How does Wiesenhof adjust to this?

Chicken remains our core business. But we are broadening our product range and want to define ourselves as a provider of high-quality proteins. And that includes vegan proteins. Of course, we also see the market development, but you have to look more differentiated.

In what way?
In the past, manufacturers could sell these foods because it was vegan. Today, the products are mainstream, the Flexitarier has taken up the topic. Our target audience is no longer just the vegan consumer, but the flexitarian; who still wants to eat his chicken breast, but also wants to have a highquality vegan product. This development is relevant for us.

Such substitute products of plant origin currently make up much of Wiesenhof’s total sales. How should this develop in the future?

The vegan products are a small but important part of our portfolio, in which Wiesenhof invests corresponding sums. We want to broaden our scope in this area and we are confident that we will be able to achieve corresponding results. Of course, meat substitutes are still a niche market and that will tend to stay that way. But even so, a niche market is attractive.

 

The Osnabrück Startup Bugfoundation has just launched the first burger made of insects in Germany. Is this also a possible meat substitute product, which interests Wiesenhof?

I can not answer that in general. Insect foods have definitely taken a very interesting development and we perceive that as a theme. But the question remains whether the products are currently accepted by the customer and to what extent this can be sustainably successful.
