I share this plea, with love and hope.
The hope I always bring alive, doing what I do for the sake of the sentient beings we just call “animals”.
I wish you all the best for the upcoming New Year, with better solutions against all type of abuse on each single sentient beings.
Claudine Giovannoni
The global live export industry spans nearly every continent, sends animals into war zones and abandons them to some of the worst slaughterhouses on earth.
There are few laws that restrict these operators. We know how ruthless they are when it comes to profiting from animal abuse, and how dangerous it can be to stand in the way of their ‘business models’. But we will continue to stop at nothing to defend the victims of this trade.
Over the 15 years I have been investigating the live export trade and documenting the suffering it causes, one thing has remained a constant.
Regardless of the country they are from, all animals will cower from those who harm them, cry out in pain when it’s inflicted upon them, and tremble before the blade about to brutally end their lives.My silent vow has always been that I would ensure their suffering was not in vain; that all they endured would become the catalyst for change.

/ December 19, 2018Claudine, ich wünsche dir von Herzen frohe Weihnachten. Ich hoffe mit dir, dass Regierungen aller Länder mehr gegen den illegalen und grausamen Tierhandel in der Welt unternehmen. Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt – in diesem Sinne. Herzlich Grüsse Ernst

/ December 19, 2018It is simply beyond heartbreaking, something has to change, and soon.xxx

/ December 22, 2018Dear Dina, it’s clear that something is changing right now… Many posts speak about that, people share knowledge, discussions are going on on a scientific level, speciesism is now looked with a critical eye. But the problem is another: the vibratory level of humans. Not each one is at the same (I don’t know how to put it without creating anger), you can’t expect that some very bad and disgraceful human may change just because he see a movie disclaming the reality of the suffering of the sentients beings we call “animals”. I wish I could talk about it with a Buddhist monk, even if I already know what he would give for an answer. But tell me, how can I be compassionate towards murderers (no matter the kind of sentient beings they kill: humans = animals).
Sorry but right now, I’m less “enlighted” by karma, and cause&effects law.
Hugs and kisses, see you very soon! :-)c
Merry Xmas

/ December 19, 2018That just makes me utterly and completely sad and angry. Anyone who can do that to another innocent being deserves an unending amount of pain and suffering. How someone can do that leaves me completely without words. Even the thought of harming another innocent being in such a manner makes me incredibly angry and endlessly sad. And I know this regards the export “business”, but this hell happens everywhere; as I always say, animal cruelty knows no borders or boundaries – it’s everywhere, in all animal “industries”. And what is even more twisted is that the people who want and try to stop this unending, unnecessary, and unprovoked hell inflicted on these innocent creatures are the ones who are considered the criminals and lawbreakers and terrorists, while the monsters who force others to endure such pain, sickness, and fear, are subsidized and welcomed. The real victims are the animals, who are commodified, abused, enslaved, tortured, and murdered.
Thank you for bringing light to this barbaric industry and for being on the side of the angels, my beautiful friend. ❤

/ December 20, 2018Yes, dear Stacey, you are unfortunately absolutely right. In this manipulated world, nobody cares about nothing else than making money, reaching power and possessions. The nations’s leaders are menacing each other, like in a stupid children game: playing with menaces and trying to show how they are powerful and “too big to fail”… But we are going to fail, all of us, since we are about to destroy our planet Earth! Not only the useless agression to animals, to children, to the poors, to the intochables, the perversion toward the beauty of the forestes and seas… specism is reigning! Man think to be God and he determinate how to preceed with uselesses chase to power and overruling each ethicalbehaviour.
We have all the signs to see, scientifics studies done with care and trustable, but this isn’t enough: it has to happen first another athomic world war, before the leders of top of these “too big to fail countries” realizes.
I curious to see if during these lovely periode of the year, when people are only very busy thinking about buying goods and making gifts (the force of the habit, with the excuse of Jesus’ birth, which is a lie) will have some spare time to write or even only discuss about the horrible things happening on the planet.
Nature is crying loud, in despair. Are we opening up our soul to hear and discuss about it?
Oh yes, long story indeed. Try to be happy, we are not few of us, fully aware and into business 🙂 to change things… for the future generations.
Love and hugs to you too :-)c

/ December 22, 2018Sad. Sad. Sad Claudine. My heart breaks.
Giovannoni Claudine
/ December 22, 2018Dear Sue, we all should raise awareness to our friends, family, coworkers… with words or acts to bring them to change their habits. It’s possible. I did it, since I used to eat, even if really little, meat and fish more or less fifteen years ago. It’s a matter of realizing that you can achieve a radical change in your own life, by trying. Love and all the best for the New Year :-)c

/ December 29, 2018Same to you Claudine. I became vegan eight months ago. I feel better having changed my way of eating if nothing just for the animals.
