Show Compassion for Animals

Since it’s World Ranger Day today I want to celebrate it by posting my interview that I did a few years ago with an amazing ranger, a true hero, in South Africa. And I want to say thank you to all the rangers in the world because I’m very grateful for all you do to save the animals! Happy World Ranger Day! 🙂 By the way, if you click here https://youtu.be/zrPl1ruUIN8 you can watch Dr. Jane Goodall’s message to all rangers and supporters 🙂   Meet Gerbrand Van Der Merwe,…read more

It’s just over a year until it’s election here in Sweden and when that day comes I hope that people open their hearts by showing compassion for animals. Because about 90 million animals that live on land get killed in the slaughterhouses here in Sweden every year, and the Swedish fish industry kills hundreds of millions of creatures who live in water every year. 15 000 tiny baby boys get minced alive every day Other cruel examples of what happens to animals in Sweden is that 1.25 million broody hens are…read more

One day in the beginning of June, when the birds were singing and the sun was shining, we turned our cows and calves out to pasture. We expected it to be a calm and joyful day since all of us loved to see our cattle run around after the long winter which they spend in the barn. Even my big sister had come home that day with her little girl to share the cheerful moment. Everything went well when we let the old cows out from the cement and timber…read more

I highly recommend that you watch “Snow Wolf Family and Me!” It’s a fantastic documentary about the Arctic wolves. The wildlife filmmaker Gordon Buchanan goes to the Canadian Arctic to search for the Arctic wolves that never have seen people before in hope to get a better understanding for the wolves. He lives in a tent for a few months, and when he has been there for a while, a white wolf family turns up and show interest in him. The curious wolves check out his equipment and even him!…read more

There are about 80% Hindus in India and less than 20% Muslims. Hindus consider the cows sacred, and for many, it’s taboo to eat beef so many states in India has banned or restricted the killing of cows and to sell beef. There are vigilante groups among the Hindus because they are enraged over the treatment of cows. So, at the beginning of April, they attacked a Muslim man who had been transporting cows to slaughter. The police confirmed later that the Muslim man died of the fatal injuries. A…read more

The reindeer owner Henrik Andersson brought his reindeer to Sundomskogen outside of Luleå earlier this year because it’s easier for the reindeer to feed there during the winter. A few weeks ago, he discovered that at least two pregnant reindeer were missing because there were at least two calves that were calling for their mommies. All the reindeer were intimidated when he found them. The reindeer owner said it could be more than two that got injured and killed; he isn’t sure. There were lots of blood in the snow…read more

All Swedish wolves that get killed during license hunt and protected hunt get sent to the National Veterinary Institute where they do an autopsy to check health, age and so on, they also x-ray the wolves. They found lead pellets in the head of one female wolf that was shot during a protected hunt in Dalarna in November last year, which had nothing to do with the legally protected hunt, so that poor wolf had been wounded before she got killed during the hunt. Hunting offense The lead pellets were…read more

Many, many, many animals get slaughtered by having their throats cut off, meaning they bleed to death. The poor animals spend their last waking moments to gasp for breath, and they fight to be able to stand while the blood pours out from their throats. To get the throat cut off like that is extremely painful for the animals. During the time it takes for the poor animal to get unconscious it suffers from the cut, the loss of blood, and when the blood comes down to the lungs, they…read more

It’s with sadness in my heart that I tell you that another wolf, a female, got killed here in Sweden on February 15. They were allowed to hunt the wolves until that date, February 15, so I have been keeping track of if the wolf in Dalarna that I told you earlier about in my blog post “Wolves get hunted with snowmobiles and helicopters in Sweden” was going to make it. I thought that she was going to survive, but sadly she was shot the last day of the hunt….read more
