I read this news in “Spiegel.de/panorama” a few days ago, here is the translation:
“Indonesia: Army should stop monkey invasion”!!
Indonesia has the army marched up – against naughty monkey bands. The animals are increasingly becoming a problem for the residents of the Boyolali district on the island of Java. The military should now help.
The chief of the district, Seno Samodro, spoke of an “invasion of hundreds of monkeys”, which could only be met with firearms. The long-tailed macaques fell massively over plantations, they steadied maize and fruits and sometimes even attacked people, complained Samodro. Alone this year monkeys had bitten eleven local residents.
The district administration therefore mobilizes soldiers, policemen, hunters and members of shooting clubs, who are to go on patrols and kill the monkeys. A local shooters’ association sends ten members every day. According to “Newsweek” against the animals however only rubber boots are used.
In the region is currently dry season, the food in nature is scarce. This forces the monkeys to look for food in humans.
And here is my response to the article:
Why the animals walk around hungry and “steal” fruit or maize the journalist does not tell us, of course.
If he had told us that Indonesia is one of the main cultivators for palm oil, and every day countless hectares of the jungle would be burnt for this shit palm oil, he might lose his job, the palm oil industry does not joke!
And only who gets this information knows that monkeys and other animals lose their homes, their food their families every day. At the beginning of the 1990s, some 150,000 orangutans still lived in Sumatra and Borneo. Today there are only 49,000.

– see pictures below – the journalist does not tell us that 300 soccer fields sized areas are deforested every hour – and that 50 Orangutans are killed every week doing this.
He claims to be a journalist but his writing is very much one sided; that in defence of the palm oil industry and of the destruction caused by the monkeys to humans who have invaded the monkeys homelands !. What about the destruction caused by the humans in the rainforest every hour ? – tell us about that Mr Journalist. Or do you not want people to know about an industry which kills so many wonderful animals ?
The journalist has not told us this, because he is paid neither to write truth nor real facts. For this reason, he tells us in the end that the cause of this “invasion” is the dryness.
The most successful way to cover up the truth is to confuse effect with cause. The press writes of aggressive monkeys and threatened people. And so the mass murder against the expellees is justified. We experience a lie shock every day, in the television, in the press on the radio.
I think the German press is a typical case of presstitution.
Dear friends, They were burnt alive — 20,000 pigs packed into tiny pens with nowhere to run.
But his farms were hell long before that:
sick piglets beaten to death,
extreme overcrowding,
animals left suffering with broken bones and protruding organs.
Dutch farmer Adriaan Straathof has a gruesome reputation and Germany has already banned his farming.
Now other EU countries must do the same.
The farmer hopes to just carry on, but if we make this huge, we can force a whole new level of scrutiny, and get regulators to suspend his permits while all his farms are urgently investigated.
To local, regional, national, and European regulators: “As citizens outraged but the incredible suffering of animals on farms owned by Adriaan Straathof, we urge you to take advantage of all possibilities offered by local, regional, national, and European laws to withdraw his farming permits, ensuring he is unable to farm or keep any livestock or other animals. We also urge you to pass stricter fire and animal welfare regulation to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
Straathof is one of the biggest pig farmers in the EU, with 6 mega farms in the Netherlands and a string of others in Hungary and Germany. And while the Dutch food safety authority has inspected his farms 14 times, and reports of abuse, fines, and violations are piling up, he’s just got a permit to farm another 11,000 pigs!
Enough — this isn’t farming, it’s industrial torture!
Together we can make sure that these were his last victims. Let’s create a massive public appeal, forcing regulators to intervene and stop the next bloodbath:Sign with one click: No More Torture Farms
Our movement has been on the frontline of fighting violence against animals, from China’s dog meat festival, to the cruel trade in horse blood. We know that when we come together in massive numbers to protect animals, incredible things can happen — and this time will be no different.
With hope and determination, Mike, Anneke, Luca, Danny and the entire Avaaz team

UK consumers have listened and purchased according to the message – animal welfare matters – and purchased 35 million more free range eggs – so campaigners must be doing something right ! – SAV.
Free range eggs have outsold those laid by
caged hens for the first time.
Major supermarkets are committed to ending sales of caged eggs – and official figures show consumers are backing the move.
From October last year to June 35million more free range eggs were produced by UK farmers than eggs from caged and barn-raised hens.
Well done everybody who supported and took action on this campaign – you have achieved a positive result to dramatically help horses – but now further action is required to STOP other organisations stepping in and taking over on your victory congratulations on the MSD action ! – SAV.
Mark,
You did it!
After years of investigative work by the Animal Welfare Foundation, its partners in Uruguay, and hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members like you taking action, Merck, Sharp and Dohme (MSD) has cut all ties with horse blood farms in South America!
Thank you for campaigning against this sickening business. And thank you for not shying away from confronting the biggest and most powerful corporations out there.
Together, we’ve moved a pharma giant.
Together, we are a force to be reckoned with.
But we cannot stop here.
Cruel horse blood farms will still operate as long as there are pharma companies willing to buy their products — and the next big player could step in and take over the business MSD has left behind.
Mark, will you share our campaign against IDT Biologika with your friends?
The more we are, the better our chances of getting IDT Biologika to stop working with these torturous blood farms as well.
Or you can copy and share this email if you prefer:
Dear Friends,
Big pharma is making huge profits from the torture of horses. Thousands of horses are raised purely for the purpose of having their blood extracted and sold — with dire consequences.
It’s a sickening business that the SumOfUs community has been standing up against for months. And together we just scored a major victory against it! Pharma giant Merck, Sharp and Dohme (MSD) cut all ties with the most notorious blood farms we know about!
Now we need to stop the next big player — IDT Biologika — from stepping in and taking over the business MSD has left behind.
