As soon as we take the violence out of this fascist system – that is, stop eating animals – then this system would cease to exist.
That is why the meat industry goes to great lengths to hide its victims and their violent death.
The principle is simple: if we don’t see how this business works, we won’t question it either
Therefore: It is not the vegan that is perverse, but the system in which this fascism works

In the lush spring of 2010 at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, thousands of newly minted graduates walked the stage to receive their diplomas and left campus to begin the next chapter of their lives.
Elsewhere on campus that same weekend in May, away from the celebratory pomp and circumstance, a rhesus macaque named Cornelius was born in a barren laboratory at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC).
He’s been trapped there ever since.
Cornelius’ decade of life has been defined by loneliness and misery. Like most monkeys born in laboratories, he was taken from his mother when he was just an infant, as his mother was so distressed that she couldn’t even care for him.
As a newborn, he was given just an inanimate surrogate—perhaps a piece of fleece wrapped around a block of wood—to cling to for comfort.
As a baby, he suffered from a rash that covered his body and limbs. As a juvenile, he was plagued by persistent diarrhea—a sign of stress in monkeys in laboratories. He’s struggled to keep on weight, and experimenters have observed bald patches all over his body, likely from tearing out his own hair.
Checked out and passed around like a library book to various experimenters, including notorious Ned Kalin, Cornelius has endured a litany of assaults.
He’s been subjected to repeated blood draws and put under anesthesia numerous times—a frightening and disorienting experience for any animal.
On multiple occasions in 2019 and 2020, experimenters strapped Cornelius into a restraint chair.
He was used as a “semen donor,” which means that workers painfully electroshocked painfully his genitals until he ejaculated so that his semen could be used to breed more monkeys for lives of misery.

South Africa: Lion sisters Alpha and Omega were separated from their mother as babies

Big cats like lions belong in the wilderness, not in the arms of tourists – even if they are sugary and cuddly as babies. The rare white lionesses Alpha and Omega are a sad example of this: They had to be used for cuddling dates, photos and walks with people all their lives.
When it finally came to a tragedy, the fate of the beautiful animals seemed sealed – but at the last moment the sisters got a second chance.
Despite death: lionesses are exploited for years
Alpha and Omega were separated from their mother at an early age as a boy. In South Africa, cuddling with baby predators is a real industry: tourists allow themselves to be lured by the clumsy little ones, pay a lot of money to hold them in their arms and be photographed with them.
When the lion sisters got too old for this, their keeper used them for daily walks with visitors.
One day Alpha and Omega managed to break out of their enclosure. They killed a farmworker in the process.
But although lion experts such as the “Global White Lion Protection Trust” urgently warned against forcing the predators to continue tourist work, the tours continued.
The next tragedy was inevitable: two years later, the lionesses killed their owner on one of the walks.
Alpha and Omega were threatened with euthanasia. But at the last moment the “Global White Lion Protection Trust” stepped in: “These majestic sisters will stay together in a large, protected enclosure in their natural habitat. Wild packs will visit them regularly and they are surrounded by the natural ecosystem” says Linda Tucker, founder of the foundation, in “People” magazine.
The foundation does not usually keep white lions with them – their main goal is to protect and increase their small numbers in the wild.
But Linda hopes the Alpha and Omega story will serve as a wake-up call: “This first-pet-then-kill industry is an incredibly exploitative, mass-production of cute babies that are torn from their penned mothers after birth and passed from tourist to tourist to be cuddled for payment – and then disposed of, “she clarifies in” People “.
“It is nothing less than a global catastrophe.”
At least for Alpha and Omega, the days of exploitation are finally over. They are allowed to spend the rest of their lion life as it should have been from the beginning: without tight leashes and chains.
And I mean…First the slaves kill the wrong person.
It can happen when you’re out of practice.
But then they caught the right one!
Slave keepers actually have no right to exist in a civilized society.
But because they are under human rights, they are protected by their conspecifics and are allowed to keep other animals as slaves.
Alpha and Omega corrected that.
We are on their side and wish the two brave sisters all the best for their new life in freedom and dignity
My best regards to all, Venus
When the day comes for you to make an animal your family member, think of the thousands of animals that are waiting for a home in dreary shelters.
Go there, stay long and decide with your heart.
You will quickly feel who you want to share your life with.
Never buy an animal.
Friends are not for sale

The PETA undercover horse-drugging Investigation that changed racing as we knew it
Did you know this year’s #KentuckyDerby# marks the FIRST drug-free year of the Triple Crown?
This is progress and follows years of PETA work. There’s still more the horse racing industry can do!
And I mean… In the United States, nearly 500 thoroughbreds died in competitions and hundreds more in training in 2018.
48 horses have been killed on German racetracks since 2015. Already eight horses in 2019 alone.
The number of unreported “failures” during training is higher because these are not included in the count.
“Raceorses” are tortured and beaten to the point of death. They either die on the racetrack or end up in the slaughterhouse as soon as their performance deteriorates.
“Racehorses” are regularly given medication by trainers to hide the animals’ pain and improve their performance.
Who thinks that’s good?
Only unscrupulous who are directly or indirectly involved in this billion dollar business.
There is no justification whatsoever for the cruelty inflicted on these animals.
The horse racing industry will not give up its billion dollar businesses voluntarily.
We are all responsible for forcing them to stop this criminal business.
My best regards to all, Venus
France: A fox released by walkers who sent the images to friends and wish to remain anonymous.
(⚠ To attack a trap installed in the rules can be considered as an offense if the trapper lodges a complaint)
Civil courage is in demand everywhere nowadays.
Most wildlife only experience violence, suffering, or captivity from the hunter.
All over.
That is why we need brave activists all over the world.
Thanks to the liberators

THE PLANET’S WORST ENEMY: Our investigators used drones to obtain rarely-seen evidence of the environmental destruction caused by factory farming.
What they witnessed at this farm was shocking (Video)
Animal Equality
And I mean… We currently have a self-sufficiency in beef of 96% in Germany and by the end of the year it will not be 91%.
There is already a lot of meat coming from South America, where the animals are kept up to 40,000 in a lot of cattle and are already cutting down the rainforest because we Europeans buy their meat.
If bull fattening is stopped in Germany, the South Americans will clear even more forests.
Anyone who can count two plus two can also think for themselves who is causing the deforestation.
What do the cows eat?
Because in order to manage their 30-40 liters + per day, they have not been given grass for a long time, but also high-energy soy.
Less than 10% of the soy produced worldwide is consumed by humans, the majority of soy production is not used to make tofu, but to feed animals.
“Everyone should eat what he wants” – that is the gospel of the meat eaters!
Not everyone can eat what they want.
We don’t eat people either.
We don’t send our children to work either, but to school and, as a rule, we don’t drive 180 in the 30 zone.
So what would be the problem if we in the developed western countries finally start eating ethically correct?
And by the way: We will no longer experience the horrors of climate change that our grandchildren and great-grandchildren have to endure.
But the survivors will hate us all for our environmental crime.
My best regards to all, Venus
Animal Equality’s undercover investigation has revealed a number of serious legal violations at P&G Sleigh Pig Unit in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a ‘quality assured’ pig farm which is owned by senior pig industry figure, Philip Sleigh.
Philip Sleigh
Animal Equality sent letters outlining the breaches of animal welfare legislation to the relevant authorities, urging them to take immediate action against this facility using the full force of the law.
A criminal investigation is underway.
As individuals, the best thing we can do to help pigs just like the ones we filmed on this farm is keeping them off our plates and encouraging others to choose plant-based alternatives to animal products too.
Animal Equality has investigated 10 British pig farms within five years, finding severe animal suffering and flagrant disregard for animal welfare in every single one.
This is yet another case of an accredited ‘high welfare’ farm flouting the law.
The recordings of the undercover research show:
● Female breeding pigs who are repeatedly artificially inseminated and are forced to give birth and suckle their piglets in cages so small that they cannot even turn around
● Piglets who routinely have their tails cut off with a hot blade and their teeth cut off with pliers, without any anesthesia or pain relief
● Piglets that are killed directly on the premises because they are classified as too small or too weak
● Animals hit with a hammer
● Pigs hit against the hard, concrete floor
● Sows with labia injuries and severe prolapses, in which the uterus or internal organs protrude from the body
● a pig with an extremely severe uterine prolapse that was forced to stand and walk for over a minute and a half before being killed
● Pigs raised in poor, dark conditions
● Pigs living in pens flooded with water and faeces without access to dry bedding

We did an appeal on 23 April to get little Cam bear rescued from his torment as a bile bear – do you remember ?
We participated and donated to help with the rescue. Well the great news from Four Paws is that Cam has been rescued and is currently under quarantine at the rescue facility in Nihn Binh.
Here is the latest from Four Paws which we received today, 30/4/21:
Success: Young bear Cam is safe now
But this was anything but an easy rescue! We found the underweight and exhausted Asiatic black bear in a very stressed condition as the owner had moved him to another tiny cage before we arrived. Even though Cam was given voluntarily to us, the circumstances meant our team and the bear didn’t get the time they needed to calmly walk into the transport crate. But our experienced staff made the best of the situation as well as the short time and succeeded with this challenging and rushed mission.
After a short drive the bear and the team have arrived safe and sound at our BEAR SANCTUARY Ninh Binh.
Cam is currently in the quarantine station, where he will receive veterinary care from FOUR PAWS Viet veterinarians and caretakers over the next few weeks. To settle in he got some watermelon and honey treats to enjoy and recover.
Thank you for all your unconditional dedication and support.
