Brazil: 3,800 cows are threatened with death

A transport ship from Brazil with 3,800 cattle on board is anxious to enter the port of Cartagena on Monday, August 26th.

Viehtransport per Schiff g
The CBN reported the Easy Horse Rescue Center from Rojales, which had received information from the transport company. In Cartagena, the livestock transporter Julia AK usually stops on the route from South America to Turkey in order to charge food and water for the animals.
This time it appears that this will prevent a new court order and the port administration will not give the ship a green light. The company believes that the legal hurdle in a few days to master – but that is too much for the hungry and “rather lightweight” animals. They would not survive.
Sue Weeding of the “Animal Sanctuary”: “This story and the plight of these cows is especially timely considering the fires in the Brazilian Amazon. The livestock sector accounts for 80 percent of the rainforest’s deforestation. If the forest is cleared for animals that then starve to death under unreasonable conditions at sea, it is pathological and a huge waste of environmental resources. ”

My comment: And if the legal hurdle can not be mastered in a few days?

The “Amazon method” is used: Let the animals starve to death, there are only 3,800 cows less!!
If Brazil burns thousands of animals in the Amazon with fire, why would the company hesitate to send 3,800 cows to their deaths?
No! It is not only pathological how Brazil deals with animals and nature.
It is a fascist, criminal extermination method of some oligarchs Brasils for profit.

We will keep using our voices that should be respected!”

General News August 27, 2019

The strength lies in unity

No organization, no animal rights group or association alone has the power to change the misery of the animals. We don`t know exact if direct actions, animal liberation or demonstrations can be effective.

One thing has shown us the experience: ALL actions together can bring results and if we hold together then the probability is even greater.

But most of all, we must never allow ourselves to be deprived of action and resistance, by arbitrary taboos, or by intimidation of our powers, because the presentation of animal suffering to the public is our most important weapon.
Every direct action is a reminder of the essential, and that is the pain, the suffering, the slavery of animals in farms and everywhere.
Above all, let us not allow this system to take away the fight for the rights of animals and our freedom to think and speak.
