«Animals are not food»
An American-Chinese animal rights activist was arrested for walking a young cow near the Kremlin. The 34-year-old Alisa Dey said she had bought the calf online «so that it would not be eaten».
Police detained her as she walked the animal across Red Square, allegedly shouting «Animals are not food». She was sentenced to 13 days in detention and a fine of 20’000 rubles for disobedience.
Activism with farm animals
«I wanted to save the animals because people eat them», said Dey. «Some people told me point-blank that they became vegetarian after seeing my pig.» More on the topic of animal rights and vegan nutrition.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: The scientific evidence is presented in the overview Studies on the Effects of Recreational Hunting.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
