Must there be an extra menu for vegans in the cell? Following the occupation of the ÖVP headquarters in Tyrol, an animal rights activist was briefly detained. The one-sided diet of jam sandwiches has now led to him being taken to the provincial administrative court. Accusation: discrimination!

The fate of a proposed new zoo near Holmes Chapel hangs in the balance, with a decision expected next week following a successful legal challenge by animal rights activists to overturn its planning permission. In July, Cheshire East’s southern planning committee had unanimously green-lit Zoo2U’s application for the zoo on land at The Orchards Farm (Bidlea Dairy) on Twemlow Lane, against the advice of planning officers.

When people go to a soccer game, they don’t expect to see a distressed bald eagle struggling to break free from a handler as fireworks explode around him, but that’s exactly what happened at a U.S. Women’s National Team match in Washington, D.C. The bald eagle, Clark, was hauled from a facility in Missouri just for this spectacle, and the U.S. Soccer Federation must prevent animals from suffering like this again.

We all wish for people to enjoy some fireworks at an organised one off night event only; but here in UK now things have gotten way out of control. Fireworks are now sold for weeks in advance of the 5th, and the aim by producers now appears to be making biggest band and most disturbing. Pets do not just have this for one night now, but instead spread out over weeks. Fireworks frighten them; and can result in death as seen here.
Fireworks need to be limited to organised displays for just one night / or a weekend night nearest to the 5th. They should not be sold over the counter weeks in advanced and we call to a scheme to license organised display personnel only to be purchasers.
Animal deaths such as Roxy are a much bigger price to pay – it needs to be controlled 100% better !!

The Israeli authorities are advancing a bill that would prohibit displaying the Palestinian flag at universities and institutions funded by Israel.
If passed, the law would apply to any institution funded by the state budget, including universities, and would impose fines of up to 10,000 shekels ($2,700) and prison sentences of up to one year.
According to the Israeli media authorities, the Knesset’s Ministerial Committee for Legislation is set to discuss the bill during its next session on Sunday.
The proposed legislation, submitted by Likud Party member Nissim Vaturi, aims to ban the display of flags from “hostile states,” including the Palestinian flag, at publicly funded or state-financed institutions.
The bill stipulates that gatherings involving Palestinian flags could be dispersed, and demonstrators waving them could face up to a year in prison and a fine of no less than 10,000 shekels.

Gut Fawkes – Explosives Specialist.
Looking at the rabble we have allegedly running my country at the moment; I say ‘come back Guy Fawkes, all is forgiven’. This weekend is the nearest to November 5th when the British celebrate Bonfire night, which goes back to its origin in 1605. Mark
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night
Guy Fawkes Night originates from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed conspiracy by a group of provincial English Catholics to assassinate the Protestant King James I of England and VI of Scotland and replace him with a Catholic head of state. In the immediate aftermath of the 5 November arrest of Guy Fawkes, caught guarding a cache of explosives placed beneath the House of Lords, James’s Council allowed the public to celebrate the king’s survival with bonfires, so long as they were “without any danger or disorder”. This made 1605 the first year the plot’s failure was celebrated. I think there is a different view today; many would welcome a new Guy Fawkes if it meant that the current shambles of an alleged democratic Parliament was dissolved.
Like all good plots; this one starts in a pub !
In a few days it will be the 5th on November – or as it better commonly known in the UK, ‘Bonfire Night’.
In 1604 a plot was made to blow up the houses of parliament, the King, and al those within
On 5th November 1605 at the very last stages of the gunpowder plot, Guido Fawkes, or Guy Fawkes as he is more commonly know, was an English explosive expert who had previously been fighting in Spain. He was captured with all the barrels of gunpowder under the House of Lords. He was tortured in the Tower of London – confessed the names of the other plotters under torture; who were quickly all caught and suffered terrible executions as you can see in one videos.
Bonfire night is still celebrated here today, many centuries later.
We have a poem which says:
Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
And it is not.
With the current political system here, many say we desperately need another Guy Fawkes.
I will let the videos tell you the rest.
