Bei einer Zwangsräumung in Berlin-Kreuzberg kam es am 14. Februar zu Protest und Blockaden. Das Aktionsbündnis gegen Zwangsräumung hatte hierzu mobilisiert. Wegen einer zu spät überwiesenen Nachzahlung hatte der neue Eigentümer eines Hauses eine Familie erfolgreich rausgeklagt. Die Familie sitzt nun auf der Straße.
Am 14. Februar herrschte im Berliner Stadtteil Kreuzberg Ausnahmezustand. Eine für den Tag angesetzte Zwangsräumung stieß auf den Widerstand eines Aktionsbündnis und der Nachbarschaft. Im dritten Anlauf sollte die Wohnung der Familie Gülbol zwangsgeräumt werden. Der erste Versuch war im Oktober vergangenen Jahres durch Nachbarinnen und Nachbarn verhindert worden. Ein zweiter Termin wurde kurzfristig abgesagt.
Hintergrund war ein lange andauernden Rechtsstreit zwischen dem neuen Hausbesitzer der Lausitzer Straße 8 und Familie Gülbol. Sie wohnt seit über 30 Jahren in ihrer Wohnung. Neu-Besitzer Andre Franell erhöhte die Miete und konnte wegen eines Fristversäumnisses eine Räumungsklage…

Die Auftragsforschungsinstitut Covance führt seit 1997 Tierversuche aus. Leider vergessen die meisten das Skandal-Video von 2003. In dem Video war unter anderem zu sehen, wie Angestellte die Versuchstiere anschrien und beschimpften und sie zu ihrer Unterhaltung benutzten, indem sie sie an den Händen tanzen ließen oder Körperteile der narkotisierten Tiere im Takt der Radiomusik bewegten.

Zugespielt wurde uns ein unglaublich schockierendes Bild; aufgenommen in einer ‘Mülltonne’ von “Covance” in Münster…
Die amerikanische Firma “Covance” führt im Auftrag der Pharma- und Chemieindustrie Tierversuche durch und gilt als der weltgrößte Konzern dieser Branche. Die “Covance”-Niederlassung in Münster ist auf Fortpflanzungs-Giftigkeitstests an Affen spezialisiert und das größte Affenlabor in Deutschland. Meist mehrmals täglich werden schwangeren Affen Substanzen mit einem Schlauch in den Magen gepumpt oder in die Blutbahn injiziert, um die Auswirkung auf ihre Nachkommen zu beobachten. Die Folge können Totgeburten oder Missbildungen sein. Am Ende der Versuche werden die Affen getötet …

Last Chance for Animals – The Sentencing
C.C. Baird is the First “Class B” Dealer Convicted of Money Laundering Due to his Class “B” Dealer Activities
Future Animal Abusers Like Baird are Expected to Face Prison Time for Their Offenses
VICTORY FOR THE ANIMALS!
C.C. BAIRD CASE SETS IMPORTANT PRECEDENT!
Last Chance for Animals – CC Baird
Chester Clinton (C.C.) Baird, Jr. grew up in Williford, Arkansas. Married to his wife, Patsy, for 40 years, the two have 5 daughters and 8 grandchildren. C.C. received a bachelor’s degree in math, but became a Class “B” dealer and completed his first sale in 1990. Prior to being charged with hundreds of violations of the Animal Welfare Act and losing his Class “B” license, C.C. was also a minister of the Bettistown Church of Christ in Arkansas.
Dealing Dogs
C.C. Baird was America’s most notorious dog dealer. For years, he supplied the country’s research labs with thousands of animals. Some of the dogs were strays. Others were suspected to be stolen pets. One fearless animal right’s group – Last Chance for Animals (LCA) – was desperate to shut down Baird’s multi-million dollar operation. LCA succeeded in placing one of its agents undercover for six months inside Baird’s Arkansas kennel to videotape the hideous crimes committed against the dogs. This is the story of that harrowing investigation and its historic outcome.
via Dealing Dogs.
Stolen Pets
The United States Department of Agriculture licenses animal dealers; anyone selling animals to laboratories (or selling more than 24 dogs or cats per year at the wholesale level) must be licensed. Class “A” dealers maintain their own breeding colonies while Class “B” dealers obtain animals from “random sources.” For a $10 fee, anyone can apply for a USDA Class “B” dealer license.

Last Chance for Animals – Horses – Premarin
Hormone replacement drugs Premarin (Pregnant Mare’s Urine) and the Premarin family of products, which include Prempro, Prempak-C and Premphase, are used to treat menopausal symptoms in women. Manufactured by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (part of Pfizer since January 2009), Premarin uses conjugated equine estrogens (CEEs) as the hormonal component.
Followers of the Int’l Fund for Horses and readers of Tuesday’s Horse are aware of the Premarin® family of drugs, how they are made, and the deadly consequences for the horses used for it.
There has been a major reduction in North American ranches milking pregnant mares for their urine for these despicable pharmaceuticals, but not in the sales of the drugs. So somewhere, mares are being abused and foals mercilessly killed to make them, and at high levels. We will not forget these horses.
Alexandra Gritta, President of Charity Book Series, Inc. has produced a video called Premarin® and Horse Slaughter – The Ugly Truth Behind the Label.
Please watch and take action on behalf of the horses and humans impacted by the making of this hideous drug.

Horses sold for meat at a night-time fair in Poland are being transported across Europe in a trade that has suspected links to organized crime.
By Claire Duffin, in Skaryszew
Feb 24, 2013
It is minus 6C and the tea is laced with vodka. Handfuls of notes are being carefully counted and Piotr is leaving with 7,000 zloty – about 1,400UK pounds – for his old mare.He is not alone. Everwhere on the frozen, snow-c0vered field, groups of men are looking at horses and haggling over their price.
Welcome to Skaryszew, the place where horses arrive from Polish farms and leave in lorries for fattening and slaughter.

Top 10 Genetically Modified Foods <<Facebook
( Natural News )
1. Corn – Corn has been modified to create its own insecticide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared that tons of genetically modified corn has been introduced for human consumption. Monsanto has revealed that half of the US’s sweet corn farms are planted with genetically modified seed. Mice fed with GM corn were discovered to have smaller offspring and fertility problems.
2. Soy – Soy has also been genetically modified to resist herbicides. Soy products include soy flour, tofu, soy beverages, soybean oil and other products that may include pastries, baked products and edible oil. Hamsters fed with GM soy were unable to have offspring and suffered a high mortality rate. Canola
3. Cotton – Like corn and soy, cotton has been designed to resist pesticides. It is considered food because its oil can be consumed. Its introduction in Chinese agriculture has produced a chemical that kills cotton bollworm, reducing the incidences of pests not only in cotton crops but also in neighboring fields of soybeans and corn. Incidentally, thousands of Indian farmers suffered severe rashes upon exposure to BT cotton.
4. Papaya – The virus-resistant variety of papaya was commercially introduced in Hawaii in 1999. Transgenic papayas comprised three-fourths of the total Hawaiian papaya crop. Monsanto bestowed upon Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in Coimbatore technology for developing papaya resistant to the ringspot virus in India.
5. Rice – This staple food from South East Asia has now been genetically modified to contain a high amount of vitamin A. Allegedly, there are reports of rice varieties containing human genes to be grown in the US. The rice will create human proteins useful for dealing with infant diarrhea in the 3rd world. China Daily, an online journal, reported potential serious public health and environment problems with genetically modified rice considering its tendency to cause allergic reactions with the concurrent possibility of gene transfers.
6. Tomatoes – Tomatoes have now been genetically engineered for longer shelf life, preventing them from easily rotting and degrading. In a test conducted to determine the safety of GM tomatoes, some animal subjects died within a few weeks after consuming GM tomatoes.
7. Rapeseed – In Canada, this crop was renamed canola to differentiate it from non-edible rapeseed. Food stuff produced from rapeseed includes rapeseed oi (canola oil) l used to process cooking oil and margarine. Honey can also be produced from GM rapeseed. German food surveillance authorities discovered as much as a third of the total pollen present in Canadian honey may be from GM pollen. In fact, some honey products from Canada were also discovered to have pollen from GM rapeseed.
8. Dairy products – It has been discovered that 22 percent of cows in the U.S. were injected with recombinant (genetically modified) bovine growth hormone (rbGH). This Monsanto created hormone artificially forces cows to increase their milk production by 15 percent. Milk from cows treated with this milk inducing hormone contains increased levels of IGF-1 (insulin growth factors-1). Humans also have IGF-1 in their system. Scientists have expressed concerns that increased levels of IGF-1 in humans have been associated with colon and breast cancer.
9. Potatoes – Mice fed with potatoes engineered with Bacillus thuringiensis var. Kurstaki Cry 1 were found to have toxins in their system. Despite claims to the contrary, this shows that Cry1 toxin was stable in the mouse gut. When the health risks were revealed, it sparked a debate.
10. Peas – Peas that have been genetically modified have been found to cause immune responses in mice and possibly even in humans. A gene from kidney beans was inserted into the peas creating a protein that functions as a pesticide.

This week in Hadžići near Sarajevo, a young stray dog was brutally murdered, his decapitated body left on the ground. It appears that the dog was beaten and tortured with acid and water. The head was left as a ‘trophy’.
News report here, translation:
After the photos appeared on the Internet of the head of the dog, animal rights activists went to the scene and found a horrible sight. Headless corpse of a dog was lying abandoned on the ground. Among the activists was Jelena Paunović, vice president of “Život“, who appealed for the discovery and punishment of the perpetrators of this heinous act. “This is another in a series of heinous crimes of abandoned animals. Animal rights activists are daily witnesses to violations of Bosnian animal welfare law. violence against animals is just one step away from violence against people.

Many of you are familiar with the landscape as it looked then.
The picture above shows Bealtaine Cottage after a lot of cutting and clearing, around the time that the planting began. 
This picture shows the same view today.
As you can see, the cottage is obscured…melting into the gardens of intense production.

This picture shows the Bog Garden after the first pond was created and the surrounding land cleaned up for planting.
Photographs taken at the time depict a barren looking, rushy, wet landscape that offered little hope or sanctuary for gardeners, growers, wildlife or Nature.
