Orca Morgan, the weakened female orca, was found completely exhausted off the Dutch coast in 2010 and brought to the Harderwijk Dolphinarium. There she should be nursed back to health.

But after Morgan was well again, she was not released into the wild, as originally announced, but handed over to Loro Parque on Tenerife around a year later.

The dolphinarium nursed her to health, but refused to release her back into the wild. With the reason: it is deaf and will not survive in the wild(!!!)

Morgan’s supporters were speechless when the rumor that Morgan was deaf reached them.

The Orca Coalitie raised concerns that neither the Harderwijk Dolphinarium nor the Loro Parque had consulted an independent expert to assess Morgan’s health.
Hence, the statement about Morgan’s deafness is just another attempt by the dolphinarium industry to justify keeping Morgan in captivity.

Such dirty tricks have been used in the past by the captivity industry to prevent releases.

A capture announced .. Instead of covering around 65 kilometers a day in the vastness of the sea and diving up to 150 meters deep, Morgan had to and still has to perform tricks for paying stupid visitors in an artificially diced orca group, and therefore it was often bitten and attacked by the other whales.

For years, the “Free Morgan Foundation” has been fighting in an international association of experts and NGOs that campaigns for Morgan to be released into the wild.

Biologists were able to locate their families in Norway by means of sounds.

Contrary to the current law on free-born orcas, Loro Park allowed Morgan, barely pubescent, to become pregnant, giving birth to Ula. In nature, she could have counted on the help of her aunts, sisters and mother. The baby would have been surrounded by the affection from her siblings in their pod, a family group guided by the matriarch.

There, locked in a pool, there is nothing that allows for a maternal attachment, northe least of support for a young mother from her family in these important moments.

Morgan and her daughter Ula

According to Loro Park, mother and daughter were very close in the first consecutive days at birth, and Morgan reported exemplary maternal instincts, not leaving her little one, Ula swimming at her side.

Shortly after, however, the park separated the mother from her daughter, first of all on the pretext that she had too little milk, then it was for safety reasons… After only three days!

Ula was isolated from her mother, bottle-fed by a human in a position that is unnatural…

Now Ula died on Tuesday in her prison, in the Loro Parque Aquarium.
Ula fell seriously ill several months ago.
An autopsy should provide information about the cause of death.

For Mother Morgan, as for any mother, this must be traumatic. Observations of orcas living in the wild show that these animals often take care of their deceased young for days.

Ula dead

It doesn’t take an autopsy to know that the desperation, stress and loneliness in captivity in a concrete tank have fatal consequences for orcas and often drive the animals to the point of suicide.

Loro Parque means: captivity for orca Morgan and chimpanzees, Dolphins ,Orcas, Gorillas, Jaguars, Lions ,Sea Lions, Marmosets, Otters, Anteaters, Sloths, Meerkats, Tigers, Red Pandas, Flamingos, Parrots, Penguins, Cranes, Fishes, Alligators, Iguanas, Tortoises…

Boycott Loro Parque!

The best thing to do would be to close this prison and all of the captured animals release into the wild

Volkswagen produces seven million curry sausages a year in its own butcher shop. The curry sausage production at Volkswagen has often exceeded the car sales of the well-known automaker.

In another canteen, however, they are now being removed from the menu, schnitzel too!

Volkswagen employees who feel a certain hunger for meat at lunchtime will have to accept detours in the future.
Because the canteen in the Wolfsburg branded high-rise, the headquarters of the well-known car manufacturer “Volkswagen AG”, is revising its range and will soon only offer vegetarian and vegan dishes.

The VW curry- sausage is popular and is a regular part of the plate for many employees: however, the classic will soon disappear from the menu in the canteen in the branded high-rise building in Wolfsburg.

According to an internal announcement, the company restaurant should be meat-free after the work holiday.
The 150 or so recipes should then do without meat. Only now and then will fish be part of the offer.

Many employees wanted vegetarian and vegan alternatives, according to the reasoning in the information letter.
The realignment also serves the topic of sustainability, because less meat consumption per week also helps the environment.
The responsible Service Factory has already successfully implemented the concept at the Hanover location.

Nobody at VW has to do without the sausage.
They will still be there in the canteen a few meters away on the opposite side of the street.
Most recently there were around seven million curry sausages from the Volkswagen butcher’s shop in the pre-Corona year 2019, plus more than 550 tons of ketchup, as a spokesman said.

However, many company restaurants at the car manufacturer are currently still closed.

It’s over with the curry sausage in VW

With the switch to vegetarian and vegan cuisine, VW is relying on a trend that has been around for a number of years, according to the German Hotel and Restaurant Association (DEHOGA).
“The times when vegetarian cuisine was neglected by some are over for good,” said a spokesman.

And I mean…The only sensible news from the VW Group for years! Seems like the “V” in VW stands for vegetarian!

Curry sausage is part of Volkswagen’s corporate culture, just like the Golf, except that it is a year older.
Two dozen factory butchers have been producing the Curry-Bock sausage since 1973 – at that time from pigs from the farm on the factory premises.
Each sausage is labeled “Volkswagen Genuine Part” and, like the special ketchup that goes with it, has a part number ((199 398 500 A and B).

VW has already tried a canteen without currywurst, in this case vegetarian, in Hanover – successfully, as the management and the works council assure.
In any case, the works council welcomes the experiments with the vegetarian canteens in Wolfsburg.
“We are also just a mirror of society,” says a spokesman

Even those who are dissatisfied with this decision will soon notice that there are also vegetarian / vegan currywurs that taste great without harming the environment or animals.

And everyone who is annoyed with walking to the canteen across the street to eat his sausage can now understand how much trouble vegans have always had to find a vegan restaurant in a city, and to get it free.

Times change in favor of veganism.
And if these changes come from above, they are effective, and then everyone has to adapt and come to terms with them.
