‼️
BREAKING: A new APPC investigation into the Canadian Department of Defence’s trauma training program (which it refers to as “live tissue training”) reveals that:
⚠️
️️ Piglets as young as 10 weeks of age are exposed to toxic nerve agents; radiation; and severe trauma, including repeated stabbings, limb amputations and disembowelment.
⚠️
️️ Although the DND claims piglets are anesthetized during training, its own records indicate that many revive, noting in one case that a piglet began "vocalizing loudly" after being stabbed in the face, while another attempted to jump off the table but continued to be used for another two hours, regardless.
⚠️
️The DND’s own documents acknowledge that using pigs may actually interfere with effective training by producing "training scars" in trainees who learn, for instance, how to position a breathing tube in a pig, in a way that would be an incorrect placement in a human casualty.
⚠️
️️In under 5 years, the DND squandered approximately $700,000 in tax-payer funds by purchasing over 700 piglets for cruel, obsolete and inapplicable training.

The Scottish Government has just ended the ‘sport’ of foxhunting in Scotland!
👏🏻
#ForTheFoxes
After a 7 hour debate, the Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill was passed.
While there are aspects of the legislation that we do not support-check out our blog in our bio- today’s action to put an end to the ‘sport’ of fox hunting is undoubtably a landmark moment.
We are delighted to be able to say that 24th January 2023 was the day that the ‘sport’ of do hunting was finally consigned to Scotland’s history books

Jill Phipps (15 January 1964 – 1 February 1995)

May you be at Peace. Jill, your fight lives on.

Today we remember Jill Phipps, a dedicated animal rights activist who lived in Coventry, England. On 1 February 1995, Jill was crushed to death under the wheels of a lorry carrying live baby veal calves into Coventry Airport in Baginton, England, to be flown to Amsterdam for distribution across Europe. 10 of the 33 protesters present had broken through police lines and were trying to bring the lorry to a halt by sitting in the road or chaining themselves to it. Jill was crushed beneath the lorry's wheels and her fatal injuries included a broken spine.

FROG FARMING IN FRANCE

Every year around 4,000 tons of frog legs are consumed in France. (1) Yet the majority of the consumption comes from Eastern countries or Turkey for fresh, Asia for frozen.

🐸
Protected species since 2007. Commercial extracts in the wild are prohibited. In 2019, the French regiculture (frog farming) had only three giant frog farms, Pelophylax ridibundus from the strain Rivan 92 and two opening projects. (1)
s This strain, derived from work by the INRA, is able to feed on inert elements (fish flour), unlike the wild species that eat their live prey. Making it possible to farm farming.
It takes six to eight months for frogs to reach adult weight of about 60 grams, with a survival rate of 10%. 40% are marketable (thighs). The rest is going to the grind. (

🔪
Official kill recommendations are a section of the brain stem. No sedation method has been approved by authorities, so there is no pre-killing dizzy, only lethargic from the cold. (1)
Mostly served in gastronomic restaurants or pond and swamp regions, the frogs remain forgotten of animal cause. Yet every pair of thighs belonged to an animal killed solely for the taste pleasure of selfish-eaters.

Update:

Little Flamingo passed away due to the toxic fumes of the dye. Once again an innocent animal has lost it's life due
to the actions of a vile thug. This incident happened in NYC and at least the poor creature was cared for in it's final hours at
a local wild bird rescue.

Animals are not objects please don't colour and torture them.

"
The university said it condemned the students' behaviour and had contacted Gloucestershire Constabulary for help with identifying the perpetrators.

The force said it had spoken to the students on the day and given them 'words of advice' but no crime had been committed.

Wild foxes are considered vermin, so while it is against the law to hunt them with dogs it is not illegal to shoot them humanely with a registered firearm. "

Remembering Mike Hill.

Mike was just 18, an animal rights activist and hunt saboteur who was killed on February 9, 1991 during a meet of the Cheshire Beagles, becoming the first hunt saboteur to be killed whilst trying to protect wildlife.
Mike was an vegan anarchist, that worked at both Heavens Gate Sanctuary and Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre sanctuaries and was an active hunt saboteur with Yeovil and Merseyside Saboteurs.
On February 9, 1991, Hill attempted to sabotage the Cheshire Beagles with the Merseyside Hunt Saboteurs. Together with David Blenkinsop y Pirrip Spencer, they jumped inside the back of the pick-up of hunter Alan Summerhill to prevent him from hunting at another site. After Summerhill drove at high speed to get rid of the three saboteurs, Mike tried to jump off the pick-up but accidentally fell and was crashed under it, while Summerhill kept driving for another two miles despite being warned by the two other saboteurs.
Alan Summerhill was NOT prosecuted over Mike's death, which nevertheless triggered a strong reaction in the animal rights community. As Jill Phipps put it:
'I heard what happened to Mike Hill, it was a tragedy, but unfortunately not very surprising, since most of us have had to face a disturbed hunter anxious for blood, and it was only a matter of time before this happened.'
A demonstration was held two days later in front of Summerhill's house. It rallied around 150 people and the house was attacked in front of police and media. Later the house was burned and Summerhill had to escape. Summerhill continued to hunt.
Following Mike Hill's death there was a revival in Animal Liberation Front actions, especially those involving hunt sabotage, in the Northeast of England.
Rest in power Mike
