El herbicida glifosato (N-fosfometilglicina) es una de las peores sustancias sacadas de la Caja de Pandora química del hombre. Es un químico reestructurado de aquellos compuestos peligrosos inventados en Alemania durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Es un veneno que, además de ser un herbicida de amplio espectro diseñado para matar hierbas y arbustos, poco a poco también va a eliminar a los humanos o si acaso sobreviven los estragos medio ambientales de este químico, sumado a las más de 100.000 sustancias tóxicas y los cultivos transgénicos, entre ellas hay muchas de efecto genotóxico y teratogénico, que son utilizadas en su civilización, lo más seguro es que el Homo "sapiens" se transmute y se convierta en un Alien Gris (Homoebeo canens) (Fig. 1) incapaz de reproducirse.

El glifosato es el principio activo del famoso Roundup, patentado por Monsanto. Este Roundup al final va a "round up" (cogerlos y reunirlos en un chiquero) a los humanos. 

El Roundup es utilizado a diestra y siniestra para eliminar cualquier vegetación que se interponga en el paso del hombre. Lo emplea en las escuelas, los jardines, los huertos, a lo largo de las vías ferreas y las carreteras, las aceras, los aeropuertos, los cultivos de soja y algodón transgénicos... en fin, en todo lo que se le puede ocurrir al hombre.

Poco falta para que el hombre (Homo insapiens) utilice el glifosato para fumigarse el culo o los cojones (oops! disculpad el lenguaje no académico pero efectivo) o la vulva, aunque de todas manera ya ha llegado hasta allí.


El glifosato ya ha sido detectado en la orina de humanos en Alemania por los científicos Dirk Brändi y Sandra Reinacher cuyos resultados han sido publicados en el Journal für Ökologie, Weinbau und Kimafarming (2012).

LA CRUELDAD EN LA PRODUCCION DE HUEVOS

Un grupo de defensa de los derechos de los animales difundió un vídeo filmado de forma secreta mostrando prácticas de eutanasia [asesinato] de uno de los criaderos de huevos más grandes del mundo, en Iowa, Estados Unidos. Los machos, inútiles para la producción de huevos, son triturados vivos. Un informe de AFPTV (YouTube).

Los pollitos triturados son convertidos en harina de carne utilizada para la fabricación piensos para otros animales (peces, ganado, etc.) y abono de plantas. El producto está contaminado con bacterias patógenas peligrosas (ej., Escherichia coli O157:H7)

Una investigación de la Sociedad Mundial para la Protección Animal muestra evidencia de que en la Granja de Tortugas de Gran Caimán (GTC) miles de tortugas marinas viven en condiciones inadecuadas para su especie, mutiladas y llenas de enfermedades, para luego ser comercializadas para su consumo.

El estudio, realizado entre 2011 y 2012, también pone en duda la propuesta de conservación de la granja, pues en los últimos cinco años han liberado al ambiente, en promedio, 27 Tortugas Verdes por año (actualmente se calcula un número de 7mil tortugas que viven hacinadas en los estanques de la granja).

La granja de tortugas Gran Caimán dice que invierte más de 18 millones de dólares al año, WSPA considera que estos esfuerzos deberían generar mejores resultados.

LA MAFIA DEL FOIE GRAS

Igualdad Animal publica un informe e imágenes de patos muertos, con infecciones o heridos dentro de las instalaciones de la empresa Caracierzos, la segunda más grande en la producción de este alimento.

Patos muertos en unas instalaciones sin filtrado de aire ni ventanas, cabezas de aves dentro de los bebederos, patos con el pico roto obligados a seguir alimentándose, animales con infecciones oculares encerrados en jaulas y sin poder moverse.

Estas son las condiciones en las que desarrolla sus actividades la granja Caracierzos S.L., la segunda más grande de producción de foie gras en España, según ha podido documentar la organización Igualdad Animal, que hoy ha presentado una denuncia contra sus prácticas a través del registro general del Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente por "incumplir la normativa europea".

El caso no es nuevo. La organización por los derechos de los animales ha denunciado en total 17 granjas similares en toda España, pero en esta ocasión se trata de una de las de mayor repercusión. Caracierzos, ubicada en Santa Eulalia del Campo, (Teruel), engorda a una media de 100.000 patos cada año y provee a dos de las empresas líderes en el sector: Martiko y Collverd.

La primera, según datos facilitados por la propia empresa a los investigadores de Igualdad Animal, acapara más del 70% de la couta de mercado español y comercializa sus productos en grandes superficies como Eroski, Alcampo, Mercadona, Carrefour y El Corte Inglés. Los productos de Collverd, por su parte, llegan a tiendas especializadas y restaurantes en Francia, Holanda Luxemburgo, Bélgica, México, Perú, Colombia y China. Su director, Jordi Terol, es el presidente de la Interpalm (Asociación Interprofesional Agroalimentaria de Palmípedas Grasas) y vicepresidente de EuroFoieGras (Asociación Europea de Productores de Foie Gras).

"Estamos ante un escándalo de la industria del foie gras europeo. Los productos de esta granja tienen una relación directa con muchos consumidores y creemos que la gente debe poder elegir libremente y tener acceso a la información relativa a lo que está consumiendo", señala Sharon María Núñez, una de las portavoces de la organización.

Escándalos parecidos en Francia hicieron que algunas grandes superficies de ese país dejaran de comercializar productos de foie gras. Consultada por este periódico, Mercadona ha comunicado que se pondrá en contacto con la empresa Martiko para "conocer la veracidad de las informaciones y tomar una decisión".

Durante varios meses entre 2011 y 2012 un equipo de investigadores de Igualdad Animal logró infiltrarse en la granja de Caracierzos y captar imágenes de las condiciones en las que se mantienen y alimentan a las aves. En su informe, el cuarto sobre la industria del foie gras en lo que va de año, la organización denuncia, entre otros casos "un pato cubierto de sangre y el pico roto sin ningún tipo de tratamiento veterinario", patos con "infecciones" y "comportamientos repetitivos como señal de estrés", aves con "dificultades para respirar" o "muertos dentro y fuera de las jaulas".

BRAZILIAN MEGAPROJECT IN MOZAMBIQUE SET TO DISPLACE MILLIONS OF PEASANTS

                 BAD NEWS FOR FARMING FAMILIES AND WILDLIFE

The Brazilian government and private sector are collaborating with Japan to push a large-scale agribusiness project in Northern Mozambique. The project, called ProSavana, will make 14 million hectares of land available to Brazilian agribusiness companies for the production of soybeans, maize and other commodity crops that will be exported by Japanese multinationals. This area of Mozambique, known as the Nacala Corridor, is home to millions of farming families who are at risk of losing their lands in the process.

The Nacala Corridor stretches along a rail line that runs from the port of Nacala, in Nampula Province, into the two northern districts of Zambézia Province and ends in Lichinga, in Niassa Province. It is the most densely populated region of the country. With its fertile soils and its consistent and generous rainfall, millions of small farmers work these lands to produce food for their families and for local and regional markets.

But now ProSavana proposes to make these same lands available to Japanese and Brazilian companies to establish large industrial farms and produce low cost commodity crops for export. Through ProSavana, they intend to transform the Nacala Corridor into an African version of the Brazilian cerrado, where savannah lands were converted to vast soybean and sugar cane plantations.

Large numbers of Brazilian investors have already been surveying lands in northern Mozambique under the ProSavana project. They are being offered massive areas of land on a long-term lease basis for about US$1/ha per year.

GV Agro, a subsidiary of Brazil's Fundação Getulio Vargas directed by the former minister of agriculture, Roberto Rodriguez, is coordinating the Brazilian investors.

Charles Hefner of GV Agro dismisses the idea that the project will displace Mozambican peasants. He says ProSavana is targeting "abandoned areas" where "there is no agriculture being practiced".

"Mozambique has a tremendous area available for agriculture," says Hefner.  "There is room for mega projects of 30-40,000 ha without major social impacts."

But land surveys by Mozambique's national research institute clearly show that nearly all the agricultural land in the area is being used by local communities.

"It is not true that there is abandoned land in the Nacala Corridor," says Jacinto Mafalacusser, a researcher at the Instituto de Investigação Agrária de Moçambique (IIAM).

Peasants in the area also say there is no room for large-scale farms. On October 11, 2012, local leaders from the National Peasants' Union (UNAC) met in Nampula City to discuss ProSavana. In a declaration from the meeting, the local UNAC leaders say they "are extremely concerned that ProSavana requires millions of hectares of land along the Nacala Corridor, when the local reality shows that such vast areas of land are not available and are currently used by peasants practicing shifting cultivation."

The declaration condemns "any initiative which aims to resettle communities and expropriate the land of peasants to give way to mega farming projects for monocrop production", as well as "the arrival of masses of Brazilian farmers seeking to establish agribusinesses that will transform Mozambican peasant farmers into their employees and rural labourers."

This was the first time the peasant leaders from the areas affected by the ProSavana project had met to discuss it, and for many, it was the first time that they had received any information about what is involved.

"The government invited us to participate in a couple of meetings, but all we were presented was a power point presentation, with no chance to raise questions," says Gregorio A. Abudo, the President of the União Provincial das Cooperativas de Nampula. "We want transparency. We want to know the details."

The governments of Mozambique, Brazil and Japan are now ploughing ahead behind closed doors with a Master Plan for the ProSavana project that they intend to finalise by July 2013. Japan will be funding the construction of infrastructure in the  Nacala Corridor while a representative of the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC) says that GV Agro has secured "lots and lots of money" for a fund that it is managing that will invest in large-scale farms in the area. The ABC representative also says there is a second fund of similar size being managed by others who he would not name. Brazil's national research institute, Embrapa, is building up the capacities of the national research stations in Nampula and Lichinga and bringing in varieties of soybeans, maize and cotton from Brazil to test their adaptability to conditions in the Nacala Corridor.

UNAC says ProSavana is the result of a top-down policy that does not take into consideration the demands, dreams and basic concerns of peasants. UNAC warns that the project will generate landlessness, social upheaval, poverty, corruption and environmental destruction.

For UNAC, if there is to be investment in the Nacala Corridor, or in Mozambique in general, it must be made in developing peasant farming and the peasant economy. This is the only kind of farming capable of creating dignified and lasting livelihoods, of stemming rural exodus, and of producing high-quality foods in sufficient quantities for the entire Mozambican nation.

PROMOTING ANIMAL WELFARE LEGISLATION IN CHINA: A FORUM

Source: ACTAsia for animals
View original

Chinese animal protection groups, law drafters and concerned influential academics came together for the first time at a forum to promote animal welfare legislation in Beijing, China on 4th September 2009. Our organising partners were the Capital Animal Welfare Association and the Alliance for Animals in China.

Qin Xiao Na, Director of the Capital Animal Welfare Association, Beijing, commented: “At the forum, people from different fields and academic disciplines had the opportunity to learn, exchange ideas and start building relationships which should result in speeding up the process of passing animal protection laws in China.”

Legislation is desperately needed to stop the widespread abuse to animals in China. An animal protection law for China is currently being drafted by law academics. If this results in animal protection legislation being passed it would be a vital step to help local animal protectionists stop animal abuse in this country.

Scholars from all over China together with over 30 animal groups working in the front line of animal protection in different provinces attended this forum, with around 100 participants registered.

Attendees include academics from leading universities and institutes, including the University of Beijing, University of Qinhu, Chinese Agriculture University, China University of Political Science and Law, Sun Yat-Sen University and Zhongnan University of Economics and Law. People’s Representatives from Beijing Municipality and officials from the legislative office of the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Committee) also attended the forum.

The forum discussed the importance of ethics in relation to animal welfare, and the implications of China’s history, culture and social and economic environment on animal protection legislation. Chinese experts presented the current situation of animals in China in different industries, including farming, vivisection, captive wildlife and companion animals. Experts from Canada, Hong Kong and Taiwan covered the creation of legislation and enforcement issues, and how they were dealt with in their regions. This helped the attendees to understand what issues could arise as legislation is passed and implemented. Participants also discussed the elements needed in Chinese legislation, and what would help to convince the government to pass laws to protect animals.

According to Dr Gao Li Hong from the Environmental Law Study Centre, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, one of the drafters of the proposed legislation, “A forum for promotion of animal protection legislation should become a regular opportunity, to bring stakeholders together to discuss various views and differences in animal protection legislation, and to provide a platform for communication about the development of national animal protection legislation.”

Dr. Gao Li Hong, Feng Yongfeng (Senior Editor of Guang Ming Daily) and Dr. Jason Yeh in a panel discussion  with all forum participants on the animal welfare legislation in China. 

Dr Yeh, from the University of Taiwan, a veterinarian who created the first draft of animal protection law in Taiwan in 1993, stated: “During the history of legislation and the process of civilisation in human society, concern towards and protection of other races or species and even the compromise of some of our own benefits to define these clearly in legislation are among the highest outcomes of a moral society. I am pleased to hear that China has started to prepare relevant animal protection legislation and would like to congratulate it in advance for a smooth and successful journey. I hope the Taiwan experience can provide some insight for consideration when drafting China's animal protection law. "

You can view the resolutions, proceedings,   and report from the meeting.  

Following our forum, the first draft of animal protection legislation created by Chinese law academics and funded by IFAW and the RSPCA was released for public comments. The draft is available in Chinese and English.

We are currently working with Chinese and international experts to provide comments on the draft legislation. We will also continue to bring Chinese animal protection groups into the process. Their efforts are vital to ensure that any legislation focuses on the best interests of the animals and is enforced effectively. 

 

Directly following the forum, a two-day workshop was held for 30 animal protectionists from all over China, to help them to understand their important role in creating and implementing good laws. They will learn skills to reach out to the public, build relationships with the media and utilise media opportunities effectively. ACTAsia has been holding annual workshops for animal protection groups in China since 2006.

This programme was sponsored by Care for the Wild International, Humane Society International, Animals Asia Foundation, and One Voice for animals.

Although this forum occurred a while back it is important to remember that there are a lot of animal protections groups in China that are fighting for animal rights.

It is hoped that the Chinese Government heeds the animal lover´s clamour against animal abuse in China. 

China has a date with history and undoubtedly will play a key role in world politics in the next decades. People from around the world have their eyes on China and perhaps are looking up to it for some kind of leadership into their own future. 

May then China give a good example to the world in all aspects including the animal rights, so that cruel enterprises such as selling animal as key rings (Video 1) become a thing of the past. Let us hope so indeed.

THE LESSON OF A HUMBLE OYSTER: ONE WITH EARTH

By Hugo M. G. von Österreich und von Toskana

March 18, 2013

Source: clubdelaefectividad

An oyster needs very little to live. Can a human be like an oyster? Most people with no interior depth at all would say no. No, because a human is not an oyster. But nevertheless a human could be like an oyster if he could find his interior pearl. 

It really is all a matter of perspective. We can learn a lot from a humble oyster, for an oyster is one with Earth.

A single humble oyster is an entire civilisation. A civilisation of organised atoms and molecules dancing in harmony with the power of the spark of life.


The sickness of richness

A man, especially a hungry rich man with hunger for power, is a vast camp of hungry men desiring to eat oysters, real oysters and imaginary oysters. He suffers from the sickness of richness.

Real oysters can satisfy a normal man´s hunger but imaginary oysters can never fill up a man´s sack. 

A rich man´s hunger for power is endless. He is ever hungry for imaginary oysters of power. He is never satisfied because his hunger is not for real oysters. He instead craves for their shadows, and these that can never satisfy his bottomless hunger. He is a prisoner of his imaginary oysters.

Unless any man disposes of his imaginary hunger for power, he can never be like an oyster. Any man can be contained in an oyster, an oyster of self-knowledge. 

Only if a man gets rid of his hunger for power, he can then become one with a humble oyster and thus one with the Oyster of the Universe. 

He will then come to peace with himself and the world around him and therefore he will never be hungry for imaginary oysters that do not fill his empty shell. 

He will then need less, just enough to live in harmony inside and outside of himself. This is the lesson of the humble oyster. 

Nature could then be safe from his abuses, poisoning, butchering and slaughtering above and below.

Rich people could be like a humble oyster if only they were hungry for real oysters. But they cannot become an oyster with the oyster because they are hungry for oysters that are not oysters. They long all the time for oysters of power. 

Indeed it is easier for an oyster to open its shells than a rich man opening his chest to the real oyster of life, the one that makes you feel rich just with one real oyster.

The following list (Table 1) shows the largest land grabbers on planet Earth. People who do not feel rich just with one real oyster:  

Table 1. Persons or corporations who own the world. Source: The New Statesman. An acre is 40% of a hectare.

For these people just one real oyster is never enough. They must have all the world´s oysters. They steal from the needs of all of the ones that also have needs.

In their quest for more and more imaginary oysters of power, they have unfolded and cast a giant net of businesses and enterprises just to toss imaginary oysters for all of those people around the world who are also looking for imaginary oysters and thus as a whole they have set up in motion a monster that is devouring entire ecosystems and spitting sickness and death.

Man (Homo insapiens) has put at risk the Biosphere that sustains his own life. 

A humble oyster does not do this. It is one with Earth. 

Can you become like a humble Oyster?
