Belgium: Stop The Cruelty, Buy FAUX Gras For The Holidays.

Faux Gras for the holidays!

Dear animal lover,

Foie gras will be more expensive this year following an epidemic of bird flu in the duck population.  As if these poor animals did not already suffer enough from the cruel treatment of force-feeding!

GAIA fights body and soul to put an end to this practice in Belgium. In addition to our lobbying actions with politicians and raising awareness among the general public via our video below, we have been offering an alternative with our Faux Gras that respects both gourmets and animals. It is now available in 2 certified organic versions :

  • Faux Gras and its delicate taste (1)
  • Faux Gras with cranberries with leaked flavors (2)

Enough to start your holiday meals in an original way and with a clear conscience and this, at the modest prices of 3.69 € (1) and 3.89 € (2) the box of 125g. You can order them for home delivery via the button below.  

You will also find our Faux gras at Delhaize, Colruyt, Aldi, Lidl, Carrefour, Match and Cora.

By buying our Faux Gras, you contribute to our fight to end force-feeding in Belgium. Help our duck friends and make the holidays no longer a nightmare time for them.

Many thanks for your support,


Michel Vandenbosch
President de GAIA

England: Reed Bunting and Robin Photos From Pauline – 17/12/22. A VERY Cold Week For These Little Survivors.

Animal buddy Pauline sent me these beautiful phots that she has taken this morning.

Check out all of Pauline’s past photos by visiting https://worldanimalsvoice.com/?s=pauline+photos

The UK has been blasted (well blasted !) for well over a week now by Arctic winters coming down from the high North; a real shock for many after very high Spummer temperatures. In the UK we are used to cold and snow, but this last week has been a real blast.

Finally today (17/12) we are starting to see slow changes for the better as the weather is starting to arrive instead from the Atlantic; tomorrow should see it a bit warmer and the snow starting to clear more.

It always amazes me how these tiny little birds can survive endless night temperatures of -11 or more, as it has been.

My breakfast buddy Robin https://worldanimalsvoice.com/?s=breakfast+buddy and hundreds of other birds here in the garden have been keeping me real busy (and I mean real busy) over the last week getting food out to them all to help them survive these very cold days and nights. Buddy Robin is fine and is first in the queue each morning for something to eat. Pauline’s Robin pictures show that we have had a lot of snow, but with regular feeding I hope that I have helped them get through a very hard period. It makes me feel better.

Regards Mark and Pauline.

Show Me Your Humane Slaughter Footage.

Many thanks Stacey.

Show me your “humane slaughter” footage … | Our Compass (our-compass.org)

Pro-slaughter advocates always get morally outraged when vegans show factual slaughter images/videos/audios but never provide THEIR footage, while simultaneously boasting about redtractorrspcaassuredhumanefarmingassociationcertifiedhumanehighestofhighestwelfare … who all are “opposed” to “animal abuse” while literally promoting killing animals.

In what dimension is violently killing NOT abusive? The deli? Your kitchen?

If you need an organization to substantiate that violent killing is “humane”, then it’s not humane, it’s a label on a literally dead being who did not volunteer to die.  My plant-based food requires zero disingenuous “viciously-but-humanely-killed” stickers.

I gotta say, though, even I am sometimes shocked at the level of blind conformity people desperately embrace to validate violence against animals, such as the UK’s  Humane Slaughter Associations selection of “gifts” and “christmas cards” depicting alive animals. Really? I mean, jfc, this is deranged and nothing short of vomitous, pure bile-inspiring, oxymoronic, hypocritical garbage. 

For sure, what in the AF are “Bags for Life”? … Bags for Life. … BAGS FOR LIFE. These “gift selections” from a pro-slaughter entity that proudly supports violently killing animals, including calves and piglets, literally have pictures of alive animals on them, such as a calf and a piglet. B A G S F O R L I F E

Perhaps it’s because a bag has a longer lifespan than the life of an animal. Much, much, much longer, and the bag is worth even more, it’s literally considered a “gift” whereas an animal’s life is considered “violently-humanely-disposable”.

Since the only reason the Humane Slaughter Association exists in the first place is to promote DEATH, rather than an image capturing the (exploitative, violent, brief) “life” of an animal on your BAGS FOR LIFE, why don’t you demonstrate the “humane” actions you all so desperately and belligerently boast about, instead favouring the EXACT OPPOSITE?

Was it a misprint for BEGS FOR LIFE?

Because, come on, if humans are so proud of inventing methods of violence that require the suffering and unwilling deaths of animals, and then have the absolute audacity to call it “humane”, why not be proud enough to share images of THAT?  Why not depict the actual reality of the suffering animals are forced to endure, animals who die in bloody, terrifying, painful, unethical, and horrific manners?

Too graphic? Too real? Too hellish?

But not too graphic, too real, or too hellish to actually NOT cause, NOT support, NOT pay for?

Typical human discord, typical human privilege, typical human passivity.

Here’s a question: what form of slaughter is more humane than NOT slaughtering animals?

Humans don’t kill animals because they honestly believe that NOT killing animals is INhumane or UNethical.

As I always say, it’s disturbing and actually dehumanizing that humans rely on defining others’ suffering in terms that brings humans comfort causing it instead of the ones forced to suffer. Humans spend literally gobs of time, energy, and resources to attempt to validate violently killing animals with their clubsorganizationschaptersbooksvideosmanualsregulationslawsmethodslabelsdefinitionspicturesblahblahblahblah. And really, why do you praise clubsorganizationschaptersbooksvideosmanualsregulationslawsmethodslabelsdefinitionspicturesblahblahblahblah that REQUIRE violent suffering???

Truth’s a bitch, isn’t it.  

And since it’s that time of the year again, I have to ask: why do people buy fake Christmas trees because killing a live tree is psychopathic but killing animals is … NOT … !? SL

Netherlands: NVWA To Investigate Mistreatment of Pigs During Transport.

The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) will investigate the mistreatment of pigs during transport following undercover images obtained by animal rights organization Varkens in Nood. The footage shows pigs being kicked, beaten and assaulted with a stun gun as they are transported. A spokesperson for NVWA confirmed the investigation after a report by RTL Nieuws, which the authority will treat as a case of “animal abuse.”

Hi all,

well there have been a few computer updates (and the rest) happening over the last few weeks, but now hopefully things are finally getting more resolved.

Many thanks to Susie for her very kind supportive words and also her appreciation of the ‘MS’ issue. Yes, it can be difficult often.

You will notice now that rather than give lots of information in individual posts, I am mainly supplying a direct link which will take you to another source of information. Hopefully this will cut the time taken on compiling each post and may increase the amount if issues I cover. It is a trial but I think this will be the way forward; and only when I deal with personal campaigns and issues, for example (live transport investigations, – https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/about-us/
