Murder victims unvarnished at #KFC

British woman finds fried chicken head in her meal

The head of a chicken is usually not part of the offer at KFC.

An English woman still finds one in her meal and is shocked. The fast food company apologizes – and justifies itself.

She certainly hadn’t ordered that: when an English woman reached into her fast food order from KFC at the beginning of December, she pulled out a fried chicken head in horror.
Dinner is a mess.
This literally applies to most KFC orders, but when it comes to this find, the customer actually lost her appetite.

Shortly before Christmas the Twitter handle @TakeawayTrauma shared a screenshot of the woman’s review, along with the repelling picture of the chicken head.

The woman had written in her review, “I found a fried chicken head in my hot wing meal, put me off the rest, ugh.”
The photo of her meal clearly shows the head, beak and eyes of the chicken.

The explorer Gabrielle left her rating on a delivery service.
What stands out: Despite her horror at the chicken head, which “spoiled her lust for the rest of the meal”, Gabrielle even gave the order two out of five stars.
This surprises the Twitter community and quickly reaches those responsible.

“We serve real chicken”

The British KFC representative then expressed a detailed apology under the tweet entitled “Probably the kindest two-star rating of all time”.

“We are really surprised and shocked by this photo and have this incident investigated immediately.”However, the company does not want to be ashamed:
“To be clear: We serve real chicken – and we are proud of it.” (!!)
Something like this can and will occur in rare cases despite strict controls.

For Gabrielle, the story seems to have a happy ending after all: The company contacted her and offered her one free KFC food – she agreed. While she is certainly hoping for a headless order, according to her own statement, KFC never wants to cause a “takeaway trauma” again and will soon receive top ratings from her loyal customer again.

Bon appetit then!

And I mean… Yes the chicken you eat has a head…. was even alive at some point.

And here the corpse showed his face!

“To be clear: We serve real chicken” –
And what exactly would be a fake?

KFC – we ask for clarification.

Brasil: It Is Either the Amazon or Bolsonaro. There Is No Space For Both.”

General elections are scheduled to be held in Brazil on 2 October 2022 to elect the President, Vice President, and the National Congress. Elections for state Governors and Vice Governors, State Legislative Assemblies, the Federal District Legislative Chamber and the District Council of Fernando de Noronha will be held at the same time.

Brazilian academics and activists issue warning amid fresh assault on environmental protections

Amazon rainforest ‘will collapse if Bolsonaro remains president’ | Amazon rainforest | The Guardian

The collapse of the Amazon rainforest is inevitable if Jair Bolsonaro remains president of Brazil, academics and environmental activists have warned amid a fresh government assault on protections for the forest.

Despite evidence that fire, drought and land clearance are pushing the Amazon towards a point of no return, they say the far-right leader is more interested in placating the powerful agribusiness lobby and tapping global markets that reward destructive behaviour.

The onslaught on forest safeguards has picked up pace. On Wednesday the lower house was due to vote on legislation that would reward land grabbers by legalising ownership of property that had been illegally invaded and cleared before 2014.

The previous day, the government shifted responsibility for forest fire satellite monitoring away from the National Institute for Space Research, a scientifically-robust organisation that had carried out the task for decades. Control has been given to the National Institute of Meteorology, which is under the influence of the agriculture ministry and the farming sector.

In the past few months, Congress has also diluted standards for environmental impact assessments and a committee has approved a bill – PL 490 – that has been described as the greatest assault on indigenous rights since the launch of the Brazilian constitution in 1988.

Sands of time are slipping away for England’s crumbling coasts amid climate crisis.

Sands of time are slipping away for England’s crumbling coasts amid climate crisis | Climate crisis | The Guardian

From a distance, the beach at Winterton-on-sea in Norfolk looks like the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan, with hundreds of grey bodies lying motionless across the sand. On closer inspection, it becomes clear they are not fallen soldiers but a huge colony of seals taken to the land for pupping season.

It’s an amazing annual sight that draws tourists and nature-lovers from across the country, but another process is taking place that is pushing people back – the growing threat of coastal erosion. Just along from where the armies of grey seals lay with their white pups, there used to stand the Dunes Cafe, a much-loved beach facility with a large and loyal clientele.

A year ago it was demolished to prevent its imminent collapse as a result of land lost to sea and storms. The ground where it stood is, like the cafe itself, no longer there. It’s a story of disappearance taking place all along the eastern coast of England, but particularly in East Anglia, that bulbous protrusion jutting into the North Sea.

That climate change and rising sea levels take their toll on the landscape is an old story, but one with an urgent new twist. “The sea level’s been rising since the last ice age, 20,000 years ago or so,” says Jim Hall, professor of climate and environmental risk at Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute. “And it’s going faster. We’re probably not seeing its effect very much yet on the coast, though we will in the future.”

England: We Brought The Pandemic On Ourselves – Jane Goodall Is Interviewed by Plant Based News.

In an exclusive new interview, Dame Jane Goodall sat down with Plant Based News’ own Robbie Lockie to discuss her new book. The renowned ethologist – referring to the study of animals in their natural habitat – delved into the food system, animal suffering, and hope.

Goodall penned the new release, called The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times, alongside Douglas Abrams, the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy. In The Book of Hope, the pair take an intimate look at humankind’s complex relationship with planet Earth. This includes the ways in which humans have wronged the planet, but also, and importantly, the ways in which we can start making amends.

we are advocates of animals

Animals have no voice. They can’t ask for help.
They cannot ask for their right to freedom and self-determination.
They can’t ask for protection.
We have to be their voice.

All animals feel and think.
They feel fear and pain, joy and hope, lead a conscious life and want to grow old with their feelings and thoughts.
They have a natural right to their life and to protection from exploitation

Because Animal welfare laws determine human rights to animals, not animal rights….
…therefore, we have decided to be loyal advocates for the other animals and with the best of our knowledge and belief to stand up for their interests and only for their interests.

Hunting

A trail of Lies- a great animation

If you’re reading this and you support what we stand for then please consider subscribing to our channel. We seek to educate the public about what really goes on in the British countryside.
Keep The Ban

And I mean…Every year in Germany around half a million foxes die a senseless death by the hunter’s hand.

Now this is usually not great science, but rather common knowledge:
The hunt is impossible without intentional killing.
Hunting without murder of defenseless animals is a term that cancels itself.
Everything that hunters do, no matter what they say and what they actually do, serves only ONE goal: to keep the hunt alive!

The hunters in Germany justify fox hunting with four main arguments:

a) The fox also transmits diseases that are dangerous for humans, such as rabies and fox tapeworm,

b) the fox is by no means endangered because of its high population and

c) would have to be hunted because otherwise – at least regionally – it threatens to exterminate ground-nesting birds that have become rare.

d) The evil fox should be hunted to protect the lovely brown hare!

But science speaks a different language:
-The rabies is eradicated,
-The probability of being infected by the fox tapeworm is far lower than a 6 in the lottery and
– Hunting favors high fox populations and has no or only a marginal influence on the population of ground breeders.
-The evil fox should be hunted to protect the lovely brown hare! Serious? Is that why 400,000 brown hares are hunted in Germany every year?

A hunt with – as usual – 181 hunters, 100 drivers and 60 dogs is a perverse outgrowth of the hunt that can no longer be called hunting but massacre.
Then what are the real reasons for fox hunting?

The relevant hunting magazines and hunter forums on the Internet provide quick information here: They talk about “lust for stalking and capturing”,
of the “hunter’s joy in letting a fox roll in a shotgun”,
from the “charm of winter fox hunting”,
about the “hunting instinct”,
the “hunting fever” and the “kick” that the hunter experiences with a fatal shot.

The daily reports about alleged band fox danger and rabies control are pure hunter’s invention!
They are cheap and dirty hunter propaganda!
Hunters do not regulate … Hunters like to slaughter …… Hunters are slope perpetrators … Consciously and deliberately crue.
Everything else is propaganda.

EU: What did we achieve for animals in 2021?

What did we achieve for animals in 2021?

31 December 2021

2021 was a BIG year for animal protection, seeing significant progress made in Europe and further afield.

To celebrate the year coming to a close, we are looking back on the top moments for animals in the past 12 months.

Together, we are advancing the conversation on animal protection in Europe and creating a better world for all – pet, farm, wild and animals used in science.

We saw many breakthroughs, let’s look back to some of the top moments:

1 million citizens asked the European Commission to ban the use of wild animals in circuses.

Ritual slaughter was banned in Greece.

The European Parliament adopted an ambitious report on the EU Biodiversity Strategy.

During a Council meeting in June 2021, twelve Member States called on the European Commission to investigate the possibility for an EU ban on fur farming based on animal welfare, public health and ethical considerations.

The European Commission took a major leap towards the better protection of fish welfare with the publication of the Strategic Guidelines on Sustainable and Competitive Aquaculture and concrete objectives in the legislative review Inception Impact Assessment.

Video surveillance cameras in Spanish slaughterhouses become mandatory

We’d like to thank everyone who visited our website, social media channels, signed our petitions and helped to support this progress. We’d also like to thank our colleagues in Brussels and around Europe, and our network of member organisations, for all their hard work to achieve this momentum for animals.

Stay tuned to see what we can achieve in 2022!

This is from the EU Eurogroup;
