Dear Mark, 

Our most recent video includes a beautiful reunion of a puppy, almost blinded by maggots, with his whole family–several tail-waggers and a human neighbour who, you’ll see, all love the sweetheart we named Tinker

Sometimes people wish all our patients could live forever in Animal Aid. But not only are the number of street animals in India so vast that it’s only possible for us to keep a very select few in our sanctuary, but street animals in India often have caring friends. Many people leave food and clean water out for the dogs and passing cows, and many animals we rescue are–apart from their wounds or their illness–healthy. And they’re often psychologically healthy too–mentally agile in contrast to the dogs whose whole world is inside a house, whose only time outdoors is on a leash. Tinker’s problem was just awful, but with our rescue team ready to help in his time of need, he is back with his loving family. Your help made you part of his family too, in the gift of your understanding that we’re all in this world together. You relieve their pain, you share their burdens, and when they’re happy, you’re happy too.

 

Puppy nearly blinded rescued–watch til the end 

Tinker wasn’t even a month old when he emerged for the first time from his nest in the bushes and neighbors saw that his eyes were stuck together oozing pus and blood. To our horror we saw the signs of maggots. In the hot season, maggots can cause irreparable damage in even just one day. Watch the amazing rescue of this brave boy, and see his life light up again. Kindness can open up a world: Please donate today.

Whisper survived a terrible brain injury, but meet her now! 

Seeing this girl collapsed in a pool of blood, it was hard to believe she was even alive. Fluid bubbling out of her nose, her rescuers scooped her up and rushed her back to our hospital where we immediately began treating her for brain trauma. Her whimpering was heartbreaking, and it took days for her to begin eating on her own. Walking again took even longer. But patiently helping this sweetheart was easy because in her quiet way, her efforts were courageous. Meet Whisper today.

 

On the road to recovery, every step is precious. Please donate.

Lottie’s skin was red and raw; watch dying dog’s happiness after healing  


Hiding in terror, her hairless body bright red and raw from tearing at the inescapable itching that covered every inch of her, this brave spirit was close to death. As soon as she saw her rescuers, she darted away, and we chased her with full heart for an hour, because we knew if we didn’t manage to catch her, she would surely die. But we got her! and so began her 3 month long journey to health and the most

playful new chapter in her life.

 

Your gift can save someone lovely. Please donate. 

 

Celebrate the care-givers: Shankar

shankar 

Our surgical team includes a surgeon of course, an anaesthesia nurse–and Shankar Rana who prepares dogs for surgery and monitors their vital signs post-op. He’s been with us for 8 years and can recognize if a dog scheduled for sterilization might be suddenly less energetic than normal and surgery should be postponed, or if a dog is slow to recover from anaesthesia. He sees animals’ whole auras. It’s easy to spot a wound that is healed or not; but is an animal feeling good? Is she feeling low? We know many animals who are alive today because Shankar spotted a problem early. That takes real talent, and we’re grateful to Shankar for using his talent with so much love.

Norway: closes fur farms from 2025

 

Breeders fight back!
Norway wants to completely ban fur farming until 2025!

 

norwegen

 

The owners of the farms are to be compensated for the closure. They accuse the government of a “historical betrayal” (!!!)

The Norwegian government wants to completely ban fur farming until 2025. This is what the draft law, which was presented on Wednesday in the parliament in Oslo. The owners of the farms should therefore be compensated for the closure. They accuse the government of a “historical betrayal”.

Pelztier am Bankjpg

Specifically, the law provides that the possession of animals should be prohibited if they are killed “for sale or other use of their coat”.
The government estimates that it will have to budget around 500 million kroner (52 million euros) in compensation. A spokesperson for the Norwegian Fur Breeders Association said the plan will “cause the breeders to go bankrupt”. The estimated sums are far too low.

The proposed ban is a direct result of government formation earlier this year. At that time, the small Liberal Party had joined the right-wing conservative coalition and had enforced this point.

According to the Association of Fur Breeders, around 500 people are currently employed in the industry throughout Norway. Together, they generate an annual turnover of about 31 million euros. Norway accounts for one percent of the world’s production of mink fur and between two and three percent of fox fur.

I read a very nice comment in the paper where the article came from:

“A first small step in the right direction !!!!The BREEDERS = ANIMALS TORMENTS, who are afraid of bankruptcy, should look after themselves honestly decent work themselves and accomplish something, without tormenting animals, and be glad that they are even compensated !!!
We are happy to do without  THIS INDUSTRY !!!!
Should actually succeed in 2020 !!! to close the farms.
What do you want to wait for ?????”

And I mean: This is a typical reaction of fur farmers, in the whole Europe: If the farmer can do something, that is to find reasons why HE is the victim.

When governments no longer cooperate with the Farm Inquisitors, they speak of betrayal.
Treachery to a business agreement that allows animals to be locked, tortured, forgiven and skined for years in wire cages. And if it is abolished, it is betrayal!!
One wonders how the 500 fur farmers in Norway would have called themselves if they had been locked in the cells for only a week and then left their thick skin as pocket leather in the gas chamber?

The ridiculous worries of the EU MEPs

 

zerissene EU-Flagge am Stock

Meat must remain meat: vegetable burgers, sausages and Co. should be called differently in the future. If it goes after the EU, the naming should change radically.

Only a real steak should also be called steak, said the French Socialist MEP Éric Andrieu the Guardian newspaper. He believes that “we should find a new name for all the new products. There is a lot to do in this regard, it requires a lot of creativity.
First drafts stipulate that vegetarian and vegan burgers should be called “veggie discs” in the future.

 

My comment: Considering that an MEP has a base salary of 8,000 euros a month, plus 300 euros of daily allowance at meetings and 21,000 euros a month as an additional salary to anyone who helps him, and 4,000 euros a month for expenses available … then one understands why they work so” hard “and “creativ” and are worried about Veggie Burgers!

These lobby-champions are in fact – and only a few “activities” to mention – paid for:
-they have to make sure that animal transport is NOT limited
– they must ensure that piglets are NOT castrated with anesthetic
– they must ensure that animal transports to third countries are NOT abolished
– they must ensure that Wild animals are NOT banned in Germany’s circuses
– they must ensure that the extension of the legally required place for pigs from 0.75 to 1.50 square meters is NOT permitted
-they have to make sure that the chain connection in cows is NOT abolished …
-they have to make sure that England does NOT leave the EU, even though the people have decided to do so…and…and..

It’s a “hard work” this lobby work for meat mafia, milk mafia, industry mafia, hunter mafia… It must be done consistently against animals and animal rights activism, which the “creative” MEPs have done to date, proving that the EU is in reality nothing more than an extermination camp. For animals and humans.

My best regards to all, Venus

USA: Expose of Pig Abuses at Texas ‘Bacon Bash’ – Take Action.

USA-Flagge

 

 

At the Bandera Bacon Bash in Texas, PETA eyewitnesses saw wild young pigs and piglets chased, tackled, dragged around an arena, stuffed into a sack, and terrorized for mere “entertainment.”

Take action – https://investigations.peta.org/bacon-bash-expose/?utm_source=PETA::E-Mail&utm_medium=Alert&utm_campaign=0419::ent::PETA::E-Mail::BREAKING%20New%20Video%20Shows%20Wild%20Piglets%20Tackled%20and%20Terrorized::::aa%20em&ea.url.id=221016

The pigs were so scared that many tried to escape by digging under or leaping over barriers, crashing headfirst into metal fencing over and over again.

This cruel spectacle causes pigs extreme distress, pain, and suffering and sends children the harmful message that it’s “fun” to terrorize animals. Please, join PETA in calling on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to issue an executive order shutting down this violent, inhumane, and dangerous event immediately.

Thank you for your compassion for animals.

Sincerely yours,

Australia: Petition – Justice for Kangaroo Beaten with Board in Shocking Snapchat Video.

SIGN: Justice for Kangaroo Beaten with Board in Shocking Snapchat Video

Posted by Carly Day

Petition link: https://ladyfreethinker.org/sign-justice-for-kangaroo-beaten-with-board-in-shocking-snapchat-video/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email

SIGN: Justice for Kangaroo Beaten with Board in Shocking Snapchat Video

 

PETITION TARGET: Western Australia Police Force

In deeply disturbing footage circulated on social media, two teens brutally beat a kangaroo with a plank of wood as the animal lay injured and helpless on the ground.

The shocking video depicts the young men taking turns to violently swing at the kangaroo’s head, while the person filming the scene laughs.

At one heartbreaking point, the terrified animal raises their paw against the oncoming weapon in an attempt to protect themself from the attack.

After the assault, the teens shared the footage on Snapchat.

The incident reportedly took place in Kalamandu’s Zig Zag trail in Perth. Police and RSPCA are still investigating to find all parties involved.

One of the teens has already handed himself into the police. His father has spoken out in his defense, claiming the boy is an animal lover who was merely trying to put the animal out of its misery after it ran in front of their car.

But it’s hard to believe such a vicious attack, performed with such enjoyment, was any sort of act of mercy. The police must take action to prevent these teens from hurting more animals in the future.

Sign this petition urging the Western Australia Police Force to conduct a thorough investigation, and prosecute all individuals involved to the fullest extent of the law — ensuring they never harm an animal again.

Anyone with information in this case, please contact Crime Stoppers here: https://www.crimestopperswa.com.au/make-report/

How media reports about a mass death of animals

 

Completely burned out: A pigsty had started fire, the 1100 caged animals are burned alive. The cause has now been determined (?)

 

Germany

 

First registration: April 9, 6:49. WarendorfAround 19:19 on Monday (April 8), a pigsty of the farm Schwienhorst  (Warendorf, North Rhine-Westphalia area) has caught fire. Whether this is a technical defect or even arson has not yet been determined: the cause is not yet clear.

Around 130 firefighters were on duty and were able to prevent the fire from spreading to the nearby residential building. However, the pigsty burnt down completely in Warendorf: “It killed about 100 mother sows (!!!) and 1000 piglets,” reports the police.

500,000 euros damage after fire in Warendorf!!

Update: April 9, 12:13 pm. Warendorf – As the police just announced, the cause has now been determined, but there were no indications of a negligent or intentional fire. “The fire may have broken out due to a technical defect,” reports the police. The officials are also correcting the number of burned animals down: it should be around 700 (!!!)

Feuer-in-Schweinestall-60-Muttersauen-und-600-Ferkel-verbrannt_jpg

In addition to the forces of the fire brigade, police and ambulance service, the employees of the public order office and the county veterinary office were present at the deployment in Warendorf. In addition, a rescue team had to come to slaughter the injured animals.

“According to initial findings, the damage should amount to just over 500,000 euros,” summarizes the police in Warendorf. The investigations into the cause of the fire continues. (We continue to report).

1100 Schweine verbrannt-warendorf-1T6b

It is not the first fire in the Münsterland where animals had to die: just a few days ago a pig stall was in flames in Ostbevern. It killed 100 animals. ( Due to this fire, PETA has filed complaint against the operator, note from Venus). The owner of the plant has now been shown. That could now be imminent for the operator of the pig farm in Warendorf.

My Comment: First of all, one thing must be clear: Any animal that dies in a stable in a fire is grossly negligent killed.

The fire protection regulations in the German stables are as good as not regulated. And in addition comes the fact that in most stables the number of slaves animals has an illegal height, so that in case of fire any help comes too late.

We are deeply saddened by the death of 100 mothers who were burned as slaves in a barracks for the purpose of meat production.
We mourn over their 1000 newborn children, who were also born as slaves in the service of the meat machine and were burnt together with their mothers helpless and cruel.

They were not mother sows, they were mothers.
They were not piglets, it was their children.

ferkel am mutterjpg.jpg

This is how the language of the media works: they present the mass murder of animals as ordinary random events and degrade the victims to objects, so that the perpetrators are relieved in advance.
And if one still does not feel compassion for the “poor” farmer, who is financially ruined by the unexplained burning of 1000 creatures, the amount of 500,000 euros in damage will convince him.
Mass media reports about animals are Conscience Opium for naive people.

Best regards, Venus

South Korea is not an exception from the growing global trend of vegetarian diets with a newly imported plant-based meat product becoming an instant hit in the country.

According to multiple sources from the industry on Sunday, about 10,000 packages of meat-free patty product of Los Angeles, CA-based Beyond Meat were sold in just one month after being introduced to Korean consumers last month. Several online malls including Dongwon Mall and Gmarket started offering Beyond Meat’s plant-based meat products, as well as four vegan restaurants.

An official from Dongwon F&B Co., the exclusive supplier of Beyond Meat products in Korea, said that the brand has been well received in the marketplace given that it offers specially targeted products and are sold online.

Canada: 9/4/19 – The Seal Hunt Has Begun.

9/4/19 – Canada’s barbaric seal slaughter has begun.

 

Check out a few of our recent posts:

Sealers will be killing tens of thousands of helpless young seals before they’re through, shooting them or slamming spiked clubs into their soft skulls, then tearing their skin off—often in full view of family members helpless to stop the killing. It’s up to kind people like you and me to make sure that this year’s massacre is the last.

The commercial slaughter of seals in Canada is on its last leg, yet despite the growing outcry against it both in Canada and around the world, the Canadian government is allowing it to take place again, leaving countless bloodied bodies in its wake. Many seal pups are so young they haven’t even learned how to swim before they’re violently killed.

canad hunt 1

Thanks to the activism of PETA members, there are few countries left that are willing to buy seals’ skins, their flesh, or seal oil—and it’s clear that this grisly trade is on life support. Without the millions of dollars in government subsidies it receives, it would have collapsed long ago—and with your help, we’re urging Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (below) to stop propping up the sealing industry with taxpayers’ dollars.

Revenge is sweet

The ” horrendous” moment a lion attacks his trainer while cruelly performing in a circus has been caught on camera and it’s really awful (!!!)

The terrifying situation was filmed by a tourist as they watched the torturous circus in Lviv, Ukraine, causing mass outrage among viewers.

lion in Ukraine-2

Another lion turns on (slave) trainer Oleksiy Pinko and for a few moments, he completely disappears beneath the powerful creatures.

Frantically, Pinko tries to push the lions back with a metal rod, but one of the beasts rears up and bites him in the leg, while another locks his strong jaws around his arm.

The audience, which contained hundreds of people, including children, start to scream in horror while other trainers use water hoses and metal bars to pry the lions of Pinko who was feeling the full wrath of the big cats.

lion-web Ukraine

His arm, leg and back were mauled and clawed before he managed to fight the animal off. After a fearsome battle, Pinko manages to make his escape away from the angry pair and emerges limping and dripping with blood!

The watchers, however, seem to be and understandably more on the side of the meanly kept lions.

A witness said:

I was just grabbing my daughter and trying to run because I thoght they were going to get us!

One said:

“The use of wild animals in the circus needs to be banned”.

Another added:

“I’m sorry but I’m totally on the side of the lions here. It’s shocking making them try to perform”.

 

This is the “terrifying” moment a lion suddenly attacked a circus trainer in front of a large audience of children and parents in Ukraine.

Kouta – from Egypt who has worked in Russian circuses for many years – fought off the lion which then retreated

He then faced up to it as the predator eyed him for a new attack. Finally, the big cat retreated and ran out of the ring to its cage.

A mother watching with her two children said: ‘My heart stopped when the lion pounced at the trainer”!!!

‘I called up one lion, and the second one attacked me from the front,’ said Kouta afterwards as he showed his scratches.

‘I stopped him in the middle of the ring calmed him down but he refused to return to his sitting position. I stepped backwards, there was a stand behind me, I hit it and fell.

‘The lion jumped at me and bit me – but thank God not on my neck . He immediately let me go. My back, arm and leg were hurt.

He works (!!!) with ten lions and all those in the ring returned to their cages immediately after the shocking attack, he said.

Despite his injuries, Pinko made a full recovery and has been seen performing in the circus among the big cats since.

https://www.unilad.co.uk/animals/lion-brutally-attacks-trainer-in-the-middle-of-circus-show/

And I mean: The slave lion has told us, with his behavior, everything about his long torture.
That he, as a youngster, was captured and imprisoned. That his “education” was nothing but the breaking of his will through constant brute force, isolation, dirty, tight cages.
All this we have learned in this number.

We bow to you, Leo.
We solidarize with you, and fight every day so that your conspecific no longer have to suffer under the circus mafia (including complicity).
If there was a just judgment, you would appear there as a freedom fighter, not as a beast, as the dirty press has labeled you.
And you would have on your side a thousand civilized militants who, like you, fight for the end of slavery in the circus industry.

At the next attack hopefully the slave Leo extends the revenge in auditorium. For the love of justice!

My best regards, Venus
