I want to thank Venus for sharing her wonderful experience with us all.
Hi Mark,
That is the story with the fox, which I had promised you to send.
Best Regards
Venus
In the village where I live, in southern Germany in the middle of the Black Forest, I am surrounded by “wild” animals.
We have formed a group of four people, and we feed the wildlife. Above all, we want to save foxes, which are hunted most in Germany.
Two years ago, in the area where I was responsible, I always saw a fox at night. When I went up to the mountain she was there, I could see her eyes in the dark and when it was full moon, she herself too. She was waiting for me, she knew the time, animals have an inner clock.
In that evening I came home late. It was a polar night, – 15 C showed the thermometer and we had full moon. I quickly carried my boots, took the pot with the food and came out. Nothing moved, it was an absolute silence, the snow was ice under my feet and reflected everywhere a hard, white light.
I slowly came up the mountain. Just before I reached the accustomed place, I stopped! There were not only two eyes to be seen, there were 10 or maybe more. Except eyes, I could see nothing else. What was that? I wondered. A herd perhaps? I dared a few steps forward. And then, under the moonlight I could see that not only the fox was there, but her whole family.
She had brought her whole family this evening to introduce them to me. For a few minutes we all remained motionless, the little ones too. They were beautiful, incredibly beautiful. Perhaps the mother made the first night-expedition with them, which belongs to the training! Maybe she wanted to introduce me her whole family. No one dared to take the first step. I decided to take some steps backwards. I slowly emptied the pot of food on the snow and took the path back.
A few weeks after this incident, the food in the forest remained untouched. It was clear, my fox was no more there. One of the men’s our teams said we must search the forest. Maybe he was shot, then we’d have to worry about the little ones. But we have not found a dead fox.
Today I still go up and still leave food there. One woman, neighbor of our small village told me that it is forbidden to feed wild animal and she will denounce me to the police.
I said she should do it. It is indeed forbidden, but this law have made some psychopaths who call themselves “hunters”, and have desire to kill.
I practice my law: “The measure of all things is the life, is not man” And my duty is to protect this life.
Venus

Dear Mark,
Primate Products, Inc. (PPI), a notorious Hendry County, Florida, primate dealer, imports, warehouses, and sells monkeys destined for experiments.
PETA’s eyewitness investigation documented the abuse and neglect of monkeys at PPI, including Loretta.
Loretta plucked her own hair out, which is a sign of psychological distress that can be caused by inappropriate social groupings, social isolation, or rough handling.
Above – Loretta
plucked her own hair out, which is a sign of extreme psychological distress.
She was kept caged for more than 22 weeks with the other stressed monkeys who attacked her.
Despite 23 reports to staff that Loretta had facial cuts and widespread hair loss, she was kept caged for more than 22 weeks with the other stressed monkeys who attacked her.
The many monkeys at PPI need your help. Please act now and ask officials in Hendry County, Florida, to take action against PPI!
Take action now at

SAV Comment – the court should have really said that ‘abusing animals is part of Spanish religious heritage’ as everyone around the world knows. What a pathetic situation, where Catalonia attempts to do the right thing, only to be overridden by people who live way back in the primitive religious past. Catalonia, we wish you independence – get out of the EU and get your own regulations back. No doubt we will see a return of the inquisition in the near future – it was part of heritage you know !
Spain’s constitutional court has overturned a ban on bullfighting in Catalonia, declaring it unconstitutional.
The court said bullfighting was part of Spanish heritage and therefore any decision on banning it could only be taken by central government.
Bullfighting was banned in Catalonia in 2010 on the grounds that it was incompatible with Catalan tradition.
Analysts say similar laws in other regions could now also be reversed.
Catalonia became the second Spanish region after the Canary Islands to ban the tradition. Bans are also being debated in the Balearic Islands and several Spanish municipalities.
Spain is a Christian nation, where cruelty to animals is a national heritage, a birthright that can never and will never be banned, at least not so long as christianity is the state religion. Spain may have a secular monarch, but is ruled by the vatican, by a pope who sees nothing wrong with a fine veal dinner, who tells us ordered use and responsible dominion are the equivalent of compassion…. And so Bullfighting, though challenged by those whose compassion has not been completely numbed by dominion, goes on. It has been declared a national heritage that can not be banned, not even by the state of Catalan. No state in Spain may ban bullfighting

Dear Mark
Thank you for urging your MP to support the Harbours, Docks and Piers Clauses Act 1847 (Amendment) Bill 2016-17.
This proposed bill is a great opportunity to help end UK live exports and, as you will know, is due to have its second reading in Parliament on 4 November.
If you haven’t already done so, please spread the word among friends and family to ask their MP by 3rd November to support the bill.

TripAdvisor to stop selling tickets for some of the
world’s cruelest wildlife entertainment attractions
In order to bring an end to the suffering of animals for entertainment, we’ve engaged with the global travel industry, urging tour operators and others to commit to stop sending customers to venues where wild animals are exploited, such as riding elephants, taking selfies with tigers or petting lion cubs.
We’ve identified some of these activities as the world’s cruelest forms of wildlife tourist entertainment.
Earlier this year, we shared the good news that with help from our wonderful supporters, over 100 global travel companies agreed to no longer offer visits to venues with elephant rides and shows in any of their markets.
Now, thanks to over 558,000 supporters we are proud to share that TripAdvisor will stop selling tickets to wildlife activities where tourists are allowed direct contact with captive, wild animals or endangered species. This means activities such as tiger selfies, petting lion cubs and swimming with dolphins will no longer be offered!
