This is the story of Guiseppe Belvedere who passed away on January 12th leaving thousands of orphaned pigeons and sparrows in the Beauborg neighbourhood of Paris.
In times gone by he would have hailed as a saint or a prophet but nowadays it is considered odd to be feeding the wild birds. How times have changed. RIP Giuseppe
'Born in Calabria (Italy) and emigrated to France 40 years ago, Giuseppe worked as an accountant, paid his taxes and lived a normal life until the day he saw a demonstration in front of his house; a group of people who were denouncing an extermination program of the city birds. “Because the pigeons never represented a problem to me, and no referendum was ever made on this subject, I decided to join this group”, he said. A few days later he was in charge of feeding the birds. Soon, he accumulate a pile of fines and letters from the city administration saying that his activity was illegal. At that time, he used to lived in a social services flat. But, a man taking profit of a public service, who didn’t pay his debts with the municipality and who kept throwing grains on public space was too much. So, one day he was evicted. With no place to live, he started sleeping in a van – a white car where he still lives to this day.
By stubbornness, vengeance or provocation, or maybe all combined, Giuseppe took the eviction as a declaration of war. Instead of reining back his ornithological activities, he decided to dedicate his days to the birds. Almost all his retirement income is used to purchase grains and medications to heal sick birds. “I do it because I truly believe [in the freedom of] man. Politicians cannot simply decide what and how people must live. They should [listen to] our needs, our claims and respond to that”.
Not everyone knows this is his real motivation, the consequences of Giuseppe’s political ideology has brought upon him harsh reactions; his white van is constantly vandalised and he is regularly a victim of physical abuse. Giuseppe, a homeless, Italian fellow in his 60’s, is continuously aggressed by people who say he represents a social problem; a public health threat.'

For years, activists have been pushing to put an end to bullfighting. Animal fights are not entertaining, they’re abusive and cruel. Thankfully, a win has come out of Mexico as the state of Sinaloa just issued a ban on bullfighting!
According to Mexico News Daily, a reform to Sinaloa’s animal welfare law was passed in January 2021, which outlawed bullfighting and classified it as what it really is: animal cruelty. However, governor Quirino Ordaz Coppel attempted to veto the ban on bullfighting, but the veto was just overturned.
Now, those who participate in bullfighting or any other form of outlawed animal cruelty could face up to six years in prison. Bullfights are still legal in 27 Mexican states, along with in Spain, France, Portugal, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and Ecuador.

Cheers broke out among exhausted rescuers at YVR Tuesday night, as barks and meows echoed out of crates being unloaded from a plane – a whirlwind mission named “Mission Possible,” to rescue 146 cats and 158 dogs from Kabul, was a success.
“We are definitely deeming this to be the most historic animal evacuation rescue mission of all times, so the process has been absolutely gruelling,” said Lori Kalef, Director of Programs for SPCA International.
