Interessante la correlazione tra il pensiero di Malthus Thomas nel suo “Saggio sul principio della popolazione” risalente al 1798 nel quale affermava che i fattori demografici quali il sovrappopolamento e lo squilibrio popolazione-economia possano essere ritenuti responsabili dei movimenti migratori.Nell’attuale situazione planetaria a distanza di ben di 225 anni e con otto …

Vi invitiamo a firmare questa petizione per evitare questo triste destino ai nuovi cuccioli e per garantire la conservazione del lupo. Soli, affamati e spaventati.

Abolish intensive livestock farming (and look seriously at veganism)
How time flies! Monday will mark exactly one year since Switzerland voted to abolish factory farming. For us, this anniversary is associated with mixed feelings.On the one hand, we're still disappointed that we were able to win "only" 37 percent of the population for our cause.

Cruelty to animals: big cats in captivity, they urgently need our help! * Crudeltà verso gli animali: grandi felini in cattività, hanno urgente bisogno del nostro aiuto!
Rescued big cats in South Africa need urgent veterinary care and food. Captive lion breeding is one of wildlife’s biggest scandals in South Africa. Forced breeding sees lion cubs born in cages, petted by tourists until they are too big, and then shot by trophy hunters who think it's clever to shoot a defenseless animal. If not hunted, they …

Swiss Mafia shows its presence: and the wolf must die
Four years ago, I published this video of the Oscar winner Gabriele Salvatores who for "Almo Nature" in 2015 signed this contemporary fairy tale that has man, wolf and dog as protagonists. A nice short video to show how to feel compassion and respect towards all other species…But sadly, Switzerland is unable to show respect, …

Let’s not lose sight of common sense * Non perdiamo di vista il buonsenso…
The list of endangered species is very long... is it really necessary to think about the inapropriate idea of exterminating species that are (still) protected? Isn't it finally time to look in the mirror: who is really dangerous?And then roll up our sleeves to do what we can to make a paradigm shift?How much longer …
