For all, who do not know it yet.
Iditarod is a Dog sled race in Alaska, once a year in March, which lasts up to two weeks and gives the dogs a total of only 40 hours rest.
In reality, Iditarod is a homicidal race run carried by dogs guides (called mushers), as fun and “adventures” in nature.
Unofficially, the length of the route is set at 1,049 miles.
That’s about the distance between Berlin and Madrid.

Mrs Assunção Cristais, the Portuguese Minister for Agriculture, Sea & Fisheries, Environment, Regional Planning and Regional Development says:

Does anyone disagree?

In Belgium, production of the French delicacy foie gras (foie gras liver) and natural fur products is officially banned from 2023 onwards. This was announced by the regional television and radio station VRT, citing public authorities.
“The killing of animals for their fur must have been part of centuries past. The same applies to the compulsory feeding of geese for the production of foie gras. The breeding of fur for the fur production and the compulsory feeding of geese for the production of delicacies will be unlawful from 2023 “, the station quotes the Flemish animal protection minister Ben Weyts.
According to the media, there are now 17 farms in Flanders alone (the Dutch part of Belgium), where around 200,000 animals are killed annually for the production of fur products. Already in 2017, the production of foie gras was banned in some regions of Belgium, such as in Brussels.
Foie Gras is produced today in Belgium, France, Spain, Bulgaria and Hungary.
Some countries deserve to exist in the 21st century!
Slavery, torture and the exploitation of human animals were the goal of the human rights movement in the last century and have abolished it, for the most part.
The abolition of foie gras and fur, as decided Belgium, are steps in the liberation of non-human animals, although still incomplete.
They are small steps, but they give hope and courage to continue fighting.
“The greatest people are those who can give hope to others.” Jean Jaurés has said.
Belgium gives us this hope.

Great success against animal testing!

The Belgian region of Brussels has announced concrete measures to reduce animal testing. From 1 January 2020, animal experiments on monkeys, dogs and cats are prohibited, from 2025 there will be a ban on attempts in training.
The Capital Region also wants to launch animal testing for safety assessments, e.g. Toxicity tests, prohibit, “unless there are no alternatives”, animal experiments in applied research should be reduced by 20%. The nationwide association Doctors Against Animal Testing congratulates on an important step in the right direction.
Four poachers, Angolan, Namibian, and Zambian, were sentenced in the province of Cuando Cubango to five years in prison for the slaughter of more than 40 elephants in the municipalities of Rivungo and Dirico, per the director of the Service of Criminal Investigation (SIC).
Subcommittee Miguel Arcanjo Sumbo said it was a crime against the environment, recalling that the slaughter of the animals took place between January of last year and June of this year, with SIC seizing 84 tusks, corresponding to 42 elephants.
“Human rights are innate and say that all people are free and equal in dignity”! says the UN Human Rights Charter.
Article 3 says: “Everyone has the right to life, freedom and security of the person”.
Article 4 says: “No one shall be kept in slavery or serfdom; Slavery and the slave trade in all its forms are prohibited. ”
Why should the human species alone have the right to life, freedom and security, and deny the same rights of other not human beings?
Who gives us the right to still keep animals as slaves, to torture them and thus to decide that animals have no right to life, freedom and happiness?
And if human rights oppose slavery, torture, discrimination and violence, under what law can it be the daily routine for billions of chickens, pigs, cattle, fish and countless other non-human animals?
But even if all of this is not totally abolished with respect to people, and massive human rights violations are condemned, the criminal handling of animals is taken for granted.
“Who has rights is respected.
Who does not have rights is despised”! (Bertold Brecht)

As long as there are IDIOTS who use their money to finance animal tormentors and animal exploiters, so that, as tourists, they make “spectacular” vacations in distant or European countries, the animal slavery for tourism will never end, and nothing will change.
Elephants are chained and tortured throughout their lives to serve “adventure” tourists
the workout
monkeys and bears kept under torture already as children to provide a ridiculous Show for tourists,
the workout
the workout
Donkeys and horses collapse helplessly, because they have to transport lazy and stupid tourists into cities or islands until late at night…
These are just a few pictures from the slavery in the name of idiots tourists.
Do not join in, use your bikes or your legs to explore nature and cities.
Do not assist the tourist industry on suffering of the animals.

Video shows ‘shocking cruelty’ towards elephants at Jungle Book themed resort sold by top UK travel agencies
Leading travel agencies have been booking UK tourists on trips to a Jungle Book themed resort in India where the treatment of elephants amounts to animal cruelty, according to a leading welfare charity.
A video taken by The Independent shows a captive adult Asian elephant being forced to shower tourists with its trunk, driven to do so each time by a handler wielding a large stick.
Elephants at the resort in Kulem, eastern Goa, were kept chained by both their front and back legs, and tourists were also offered rides on the animals, which were expected to carry as many as three people at a time.
Kartick Satyanarayan, the founder of Wildlife SOS, said the video captured by The Independent was “shocking”.
Shocking truth: ruthless tiger trade in the EU uncovered!
Our ongoing research and recent police raids in the Czech Republic show that tiger trade is not only an issue in Asia: The lucrative commercial trade with a highly endangered species and their parts is happening right in the centre of Europe as well!
FOUR PAWS has discovered that tiger traders operating in Europe are willing and able to sell and facilitate the transfer of tigers to Asian countries where demand for their parts for traditional medicine is causing mass cruelty and a decline of the species.
At the same time Czech Authorities made a strike against wildlife traffickers and conducted a series of raids, because of the suspicion of killing of tigers in a zoo and the possession of tiger products by the Vietnamese community. One of the target facilities of the raids belonged to a well-known circus leader.
FOUR PAWS research conducted in June show a meeting with this person where he proudly showed his tiger breeding facility near Prague and discussed the sale of tigers to Asia. The trader offered to sell the tigers to Asian buyers and to help facilitate the documents and transfer.
Tigers: A highly endangered species
In the 20th century the world already lost over 90 per cent of its tigers with current estimates indicating that there are only 3,900 tigers left in the wild. The relentless demand for tigers traded for their parts but also to be displayed commercially significantly contributes to this decline of the species. Legal trade facilitates illegal trade and causes a real threat to the wild tiger population.
Shockingly, tigers born in Europe in captivity can still be traded for commercial purposes like circuses or for private keeping and for photo opportunities. In some European countries you can even rent a tiger for a private party!!!
Read more about this in our official press release.
The EU should take a leading role in protecting these endangered species and ban all commercial trade ensuring tiger traders and businesses have no place in the EU!
Check out the details and sign our petition here: https://www.four-paws.org/our-work-ca…/campaigns/tiger-trade
I have signed the petition, please do it too!
Sometimes miracles happen, and it may be that a “Business” – called EU – with a thousand incompetent, disinterested and fat-paid employees, but passed a law against the criminal slave trade of these animals, at least in our own continent, Europa !!
We must not give up hope and our fight to save the rest of the tigers in the world.
