What makes a person kill a flock of sheep and lambs, maim the carcasses, stuff them in plastic bags and dispose of them in the forest?

The police are trying to answer this question after a scary find in the forest near the city Leipzig, in Saxony!

At around 7 p.m., a woman called the emergency service because there were numerous blue garbage bags along her stroll, over which flocks of flies circled.
A little later, firefighters exposed an outrageous discrace.

“There were dead lambs in the sacks,” said police spokeswoman. We counted a total of 28 bags of dead sheep and lamb carcasses. ”

The investigators have a bad suspicion. Shortly before Easter, the Saxon Sheep and Goat Breeders’ Association complained that many sheep farmers would not be able to get rid of their lambs due to the Corona crisis. Because the restaurants that traditionally serve lamb at Easter have closed.

Association chief Detlef Rohmann spoke of “great difficulties” (!!!). Because the oversupply of lamb also means that the wholesale prices at the bottom are rushing down and the raising of too many lambs is not profitable for the breeders, a sheep farmer probably has his “problem” in this way done.

The one who deposited the dead animals in the forest wanted to cover up his tracks: “The ears with the animal’s identification tags were cut off, “ said the police.

My comment:The stupid President of Lower Saxony recently released three wolves of a pack (one of them is a pregnant wolf) for shooting. Until then, no one sheep had been wiped from the wolfs.  (https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2020/04/08/germany-wolfs-persecution/)

The farmers enforced it on the grounds that they are afraid for their sheep, which they love like their children.
As soon as they are worth nothing, the “children” end up in blue bags, murdered, disassembled, disposed of like garbage in the forest.

Now it was not the wolf that massacred the animals and packed them in blue bags, but a psychopath from the peasant front.

Of course, he won’t get a just punishment. We know how it will end.

Anyone psychologist will send him to Mallorca for dolphin therapy so that the “sensitive, anxious, poor farmer” can recover from the severe psychological trauma of the Corona period.

My best regards to all, Venus

4 Georgia poultry workers dead from coronavirus, company says

American workers who process the nation’s meat have proven especially susceptible to the new virus, as they work shoulder-to-shoulder on production lines.

By The Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Four employees of a major poultry producer’s operations in rural southwest Georgia have died after becoming infected with the coronavirus, a company spokesman said Friday.

Tyson Foods spokesman Gary Mickelson said three of the employees worked at the company’s chicken processing plant in Camilla, while the fourth person worked in a supporting job outside the plant. He declined to say how many workers there have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus.

American workers who process the nation’s meat have proven especially susceptible to the new virus, as they work shoulder-to-shoulder on production lines. Several U.S. plants have closed because of outbreaks, including a large plant owned by Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, that produced roughly 5% of U.S. pork before it was shut down after more than 500 workers became infected.

Mickelson said two other Tyson Foods workers have died from the virus at its plant in Columbus Junction, Iowa.

“We realize everyone is anxious during this challenging time and believe information is the best tool for combating the virus,” Hector Gonzalez, Tyson’s senior vice president for human resources, said in a statement. “That’s why we’re encouraging our team members to share their concerns with us, so we can help address them.”

Gonzalez said the company has improved safety measures at the Camilla plant by checking employees’ temperatures, requiring workers to wear face coverings, installing dividers at work stations and providing more space in break rooms. He said the company in March had “relaxed our attendance policy to encourage workers to stay at home when they’re sick.”

The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which represents 2,000 workers at the Georgia chicken plant, identified the three plant employees who died as women who had worked there for 13 to 35 years. A statement from the union said many plant employees are “sick or in quarantine.”

“It’s too little too late here,” Edgar Fields, president of the union’s Southeast Council, said in a statement Friday.

In Georgia’s rural southwest corner, where the Camilla plant is located, the rate of coronavirus infections and deaths have outpaced far more densely populated regions of the state. The union said many plant employees live in neighbouring Dougherty County, which leads Georgia with 88 coronavirus deaths.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms that usually clear up within weeks. For some, it can cause severe illness and be life-threatening.

The union has called on poultry processors to require employees to quarantine themselves for 14 days, and pay them sick leave, when they’re exposed to co-workers testing positive for the virus. It also wants individual departments to be shut down for 72 hours and cleaned after a worker tests positive.

The Georgia Department of Public Health reported Thursday evening that 617 deaths statewide have been linked to the virus. Infections have been confirmed in more than 16,300 people. About 20% of them were hospitalized.

‘They might as well be letting off atomic bombs’: Sir Paul McCartney blames ‘medieval’ Chinese wet markets for coronavirus

‘Whoever is responsible for this is at war with the world and itself,’ said the former Beatle

Sir Paul McCartney has criticised Chinese wet markets for their public health risk amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking to Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show, the former Beatle said: “They might as well be letting off atomic bombs because it’s affecting the whole world.”

“Whoever is responsible for this is at war with the world and itself.”

Although no origin for the deadly virus has been officially determined, some have heaped blame for the pandemic on China’s wet markets, which sell freshly slaughtered animals.

Last week, more than 200 conservation groups across the world signed an open letter calling on the World Health Organisation to force the closure of markets where wild meat is sold for consumption.

Stern brought up the topic of the markets to McCartney, who has been a very public vegetarian and animal rights campaigner for decades.

“I really hope that this will mean the Chinese government says, ‘Ok guys, we have really got to get super hygienic around here,’” McCartney said. “Let’s face it, it is a little bit medieval eating bats.”

“They don’t need all the people dying. And what’s it for? All these medieval practices. They just need to clean up their act. This may lead to it. If this doesn’t, I don’t know what will.”

McCartney also praised the community spirit that has emerged during the pandemic, saying: “A lot of people are pulling together and it is a great thing. It is inspiring.”

The Independent has recently launched a campaign calling for tighter restrictions on the trade of wild animals.

China unveils new list of animals that can be farmed for meat

COVID-19 is thought to have originated at a Wuhan wet market

The Chinese government released a new list of animals that can be farmed for meat as the country begins to reopen to a new normal following the novel coronavirus outbreak that is thought to have originated in a wet market in Wuhan.

The draft list was released Thursday by the country’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and is available online for a public comment period.

The list of acceptable livestock and poultry includes 18 species of traditional staples such as pig, cow, chicken, sheep, goat and more.

The government document also designates 13 species of “special livestock” such as deer, reindeer, alpaca and others.

It also includes a special category of livestock that can be raised for fur but not for food including mink, foxes and raccoons.

China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs noted in a statement accompanying the list that dogs “have been ‘specialized’ from traditional domestic animals to companion animals” and should not be included as “livestock” for food.

Chinese officials had initially linked the COVID-19 outbreak to large, live animal markets in Wuhan where many of the cases originated.

Ebola, SARS, bird flu and now COVID-19 are all believed to have started as pathogens crossing from animals to humans. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about three-quarters of new human diseases originate in animals.

In late February, Chinese lawmakers adopted a decision to prohibit the trading of wildlife and eliminate the trade and consumption of wild animals after the outbreak emerged, according to the nation’s state-run news organization Xinhua.
