Fireworks. I don't even get what the thrill is from one bang after another.
I am just watching this on YouTube
Roosters bring little profit on the poultry market. They lay no eggs and produce little meat. So, many German hatcheries sell millions of chicks abroad. Animal welfare usually falls by the wayside.Because they don't lay eggs, around 45 million male chicks used to be killed in Germany every year. This practice has been banned since 2022. Since then, many German egg cartons began carrying the label: "No chick killing.” But, if they aren’t being killed, where are the roosters now?Rearing the animals is so expensive in Germany that most hatcheries simply cannot afford to keep the male chicks. The so-called ‘brother roosters’ are often sent abroad to be reared, often to Poland. But what are conditions like there? Animal welfare activists have evidence of serious abuses. The fattened cockerels are then often sold to Africa. In Ghana, meat from Europe is usually cheaper than domestic poultry. But local Ghanaian breeders suffer massively from these cheap imports from Europe.The film follows the trail from the hatching of the chicks in a German hatchery to rearing in Poland and sale to Ghana. The research shows: The ban on chick killing in Germany shifts the problems abroad and animal welfare is usually ignored. The law seems well-intentioned but poorly thought out.

Just add these poor innocent horses to the list. These tossers simply do not care about their horses. They are only interested by the profit
that they are making. Horse racing should be banned.

Some good news from down under (New Zealand) what we call a freezing works (slaughterhouse) has closed down because the farmers have gone over to forestry in that part of the country.
To all omnis:
Here's your Thanksgiving/Christmas turkey. These baby turkeys spend 3-4 months crammed in factory farms being fattened up for you to eat on Christmas day. They suffer terribly their entire lives.
PEACE begins on your plate
10 very happy and lucky chickens were saved by Argentinian activists! There are also many of these actions in the UK. However, to
preserve the anonymity of these activists and where they are based, it is not widely publicised.
“Anti speciesist and anarchist activists liberated 10 chickens from a place of exploitation.
We feel the urgency to take direct action and to try against all odds to change the fait of some, even if it is just a single life that is being used and exploited in this sleepy society so comfortable with speciesism.
No animal is our slave.
Animals are not things to sale, all we should do is to break their cages and liberate them, so they can become someone once again and stop being something that will be chopped up."
