Whale Hope Timmy update | 19.04.
„DLRG-Boote auf Stand-by für den Fall, dass er losschwimmt, wir ihn dann leiten können. Und es ist sichergestellt, dass wir ihn dann auch bis in die Nordsee und dann über die Nordsee in den Atlantik leiten können.“

Die Anwältin ist Teil der privat finanzierten Rettungsaktion. Die Aktion wird vom Umweltministerium beobachtet und eng mit Behördenvertretern abgestimmt./...."

„Gestern hätten wir die richtige Wasserhöhe noch gehabt“: Initiator sieht Wal-Rettungsversuch wieder bei „Stunde null“

Ein riskantes Vorhaben soll dem vor der Ostseeinsel Poel liegenden Tier doch noch helfen. Die private Initiative äußerte sich zunächst optimistisch. Doch der Initiator der Aktion ist nun skeptisch.

> ... dignity is not a specifically human prejudice, as he[B.F. Skinner] thinks, but the ordinary bearing of any animal, angrily defended when organic integrity or won space is insulted.

Sometimes, all it takes is a glance out of the train window to remember:
Even in the heart of industrial zones, animals claim their space.
Surrounded by concrete, wire, and power lines – yet full of grace and calm.

Melanie Challenger [International Animal Rights Conference: 7.-10.9.2023]

Sincere question:

for whom and when/ where do you think it is appropriate and effective to show images/videos of harm being done to animals?

For those of us who are already #vegan for ethical reasons, do we still need to see these? I personally find it very painful, and I'm not a contributor - I do not buy or eat meat or fish or milk or eggs, etc.

Is it just those who haven't yet adopted #veganism who need to see these?

Would love your thoughts on strategy. We can compare this to showing the videos of someone being killed at the hands of police, etc. - and why we wouldn't unnecessarily circulate that. Is it comparable?

What is more effective?

#Christmas is coming. We’re already dressing up #pets. That is pathetic. This is the season for the crass #vanity. It is only due to the suspected Mastodon protocol for not being beastly (not like on nasty twitter) that for the moment I’m keeping this general. #Animaldignity #animals and their #dignity. Get #dolls ans #teddies if like dressing other things up. Of dress yourselves up. Weird twats. Dolls don’t mind. Pets are utterly bewildered.
