German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been placed under house quarantine, after it was revealed that she’d had contact with a medic that has since tested positive for coronavirus.

The news, which immediately made headlines, was confirmed by the government spokesman Steffen Seibert.

A doctor that vaccinated Merkel on Friday, against a bacterium that causes pneumonia, among other diseases, has himself tested positive for the virus, Seibert said in a statement, without revealing any further details about the medic.

“The chancellor has decided to immediately place herself under house quarantine,” he said, adding that Merkel is about to go through a series of coronavirus tests in the coming days, as just one test would be not be sufficiently indicative.

The chancellor will continue to work from home.

…Finally some good news! I’m starting to like this virus.
If it ` s true that Merkel is indeed infected, let us extend our heartfelt sympathies to the Coronavirus.

The benefits of the corona invasion…you have more time for your animals!

‘As usual, the hate for Bats is increasing because they are believed to be the reason why the COVID-19 started. Yet, they are skipping the part of how Bats were being shot out of the sky and eaten as a delicacy for pure pleasure.

Besides how eating animals is the most common creator of these viral diseases such as H1N1, Ebola, SARS and Mad Cow, I wanted to share a few facts about Bats:

-Over 500 plant species rely on bats to pollinate their flowers, including species of mango, banana, durian, guava and agave.

-Estimates from studies show that some bats eat more than 70% of their weight in insects each night and some pregnant females at 100% of their body weight (that’s a lot of insects!).

-Production of at least one third of the world’s food, including 87 of the 113 leading food crops, depends on pollination carried out by bats.

Now, outside of their benefit for mankind, they are Beings who feel, think and love. They are mothers, they have friends, they have a community.

Ask yourself, do YOU help the natural world? Would nature collapse without you? Do you only consume her or do you give back to her and help her animals?

We all share this Earth, be more like a Bat.’

– Jay Sprucebank

…I know another animal that carries much more deadly viruses.
And it`s spreading those over the planet with its fucking human rights.

My best regards to all, Venus

For us human animals, the lock will soon be over.
The life of the non-human animals is an eternal Treblinka.
Carnivores! now that we all have to stay at home, finally learn to cook vegan!

My best regards to all, Venus

As Venus does not have her usual ‘Goodnight’ post for you tonight; I am taking up the case, and its a bit different and off the cuff -spur of the moment; but I hope you enjoy.

‘The Cure’ are one of my favourite English bands; so here is a night time ‘Lullaby’ from them for you to go to bed with.

‘On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening Sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed

Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
And suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do when I realize with fright
That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight’.

Don’t let the spiderman have you for dinner tonight !

Visit us at WAV tomorrow instead and keep up with animal news.

Remember; the spiderman is always hungry !!!

Regards Mark

I don’t have a “good night” post for you today, dear friends.
But for that, a brilliant article about Corona that has to be read by everyone.
From everyone who wants to be informed.
It is factual, scientific and does exactly what our incompetent governments cannot do: namely it gives solutions and starting points.

Czech Republic: Targeted Strike Against Animal Torture and Puppy Mafia!

At the beginning of March 2020, the Czech parliament voted in favor of a harsher punishment for torturers, puppy dealers and illegal breeders. With the support of the President, cruelty to animals will soon face severe punishments. With the change in the law, the Czech Republic is taking a role model for other European countries!

More handling for the judiciary and police

After the law has come into force, cruelty to animals is expected to be imprisoned for up to six years.
This can also be pronounced without probation if there were no other crimes before.
Illegal breeding facilities were redefined as criminal offenses in order to be able to deal with their handling of dogs and cats in a way that is contrary to animal welfare.

Mother animals are kept in illegal breeding facilities such as birthing machines. Their young animals are often separated from them much too early, sold with the help of dealers via internet portals and sent for long transports to Germany and other Western European countries.

Anyone who still operates such illegal breeding facilities can face up to ten years in prison or a fine of up to 200,000 euros.

Increased penalties for cruelty to animals enable the police to specifically pursue and take action against illegal breeding facilities and the puppy mafia.
Organized crime with puppies of dogs and cats can thus be better documented, uncovered and punished.

The suffering of puppies and parents

The puppy trade is one of the most profitable illegal businesses in the Czech Republic.
In order to make as much profit as possible out of animal goods, dogs and cats vegetate in life imprisonment, in loneliness and misery.
Many spend their short lives in small kennels and cages without ever seeing the sunlight or coming into social contact with fellow species.

If they are too weak or no longer productive enough, they will be abandoned or killed. Because then their life doesn’t count anymore.

Often the dog and cat puppies are torn from their mothers after a few weeks, so the important socialization by the mother is denied to them.
Many puppies suffer from severe behavioral disorders, which often extend into adulthood and sometimes never disappear.

Due to the poor hygienic conditions and the weakened and unvaccinated dams, many puppies are also seriously ill. They are usually neither vaccinated nor dewormed in the breeding facilities.
For this reason, a large part suffers from parasites, worms, inflammation or from diseases such as parvovirus or distemper, which in many cases are fatal.
Vaccination badges and health certificates are often forged out of miserliness. For transport, the little puppies are injected “fit” and pumped up with antibiotics.
Many of the puppies do not survive the transport or arrive seriously ill in the new home and die after a short time.

My comment: If you enter the word “dog puppy” in Google, over 100,000 results appear. First place: eBay classifieds.
Yes! the platform has long since not only sold second-hand goods, but also living beings.

The business with puppies on the Internet is booming: it is estimated that over a million dogs are offered each year, making eBay classified ads one of the largest trading centers for the pet trade in Germany.
A study that has now been published shows that the total sales value is projected to be over one billion euros per year – mostly it is criminal traders who sell puppies via the platform.

More than ever the animal shelters are overcrowded today, up to 70,000 pets came to a shelter in Germany during the summer vacation season alone.

We are a consumer society, just as we consume meat and eggs, so we “consume” pet animals. If a purchased item does not work, we order the next one online.

Do not buy animals on the Internet or from breeders! Go to an animal shelter and spend a day there, you will surely find your future friend.

Thanks to the corona virus, we’re all on holidays now!

My best regards to all, Venus
