Speciesism Kills

PETA's motto is: Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or exploit in any other way.

Demonstration against speciesism

Dogs and cats are lovingly cared for, while pigs, cattle and chickens are killed and eaten. More on the topic of animal rights and vegan lifestyle.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.

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.
