Selvom belastningen af dyrene blev ignoreret i regnestykket (da den ikke kunne estimeres i penge), er pelsproduktion en udgift. Også på EU niveau 😵‍💫

“The total contribution of fur farming, calculated by deducting environmental and public health costs from GVA, is -€446 million”
📉🦊Does the production of fur contribute to the EU economy, or just the opposite? A new economic analysis gives the answers. Join this online event and follow our live posts to learn more.

Just last month, Dr. Jane spoke to an engaged and inspired audience in Toronto – and these were her final words for the crowd.

She knew that we could do so much good – that we can do so much good – when we work together as partners.

A car with a dog inside was stolen, and for the owner, it was all about the dog. Of course. Cars are something but dogs are someone. 💕
Det handlede kun om Milo
Det handlede kun om Milo
Bil og hund stjålet. Ligeså let som det kan siges, ligeså uvirkeligt kan det føles. For Cecilie Weng Steglich-Petersen havde aldrig kunnet forudse, at hendes ellers normale søndag pludselig skulle udvikle sig til noget så forfærdeligt. - Jeg tænker jo først, om det overhovedet kan være rigtigt det, jeg så. Min bil er jo heller ikke ligefrem en fin en af slagsen, så hvorfor skulle man stjæle den, fortæller hun. GPS-tegn taget af Den fortvivlede ejer forsøgte først at lede efter bilen og komme i kontakt med sin far, men da intet af det lykkedes, tog hun en taxa hjem til Nibe, hvor en Ipad havde en sporing på den 7-årige cockerspaniel - og her blev hun bange. - For mig har det aldrig handlet om bilen, det handlede kun om Milo. Men da jeg opdagede, at GPS-tegnet var revet af, vidste jeg, at den var gal. Sådan et falder ikke bare af, siger Cecilie Weng Steglich-Petersen Hun tog derfor hurtigt kontakt til Nordjyllands Politi, som igangsatte en undersøgelse og så trak Cecilie Weng Steglich-Petersen selv i arbejdstøjet og tog tilbage til Aalborg, hvor hun begyndte at lede. - Jeg snakker så sammen med min bror, som fortæller mig, at der findes denne her gruppe, hvor der er nogle, der hjælper med at lede efter hunde, forklarer hun. En glad cockerspaniel og dens ejer Hun kontaktede gruppen, der med deres medbragte droner hjalp hende med at lede. Samtidig fik hun delt et Facebook-opslag, som i sidste ende skulle vise sig at give pote. - Her til formiddag får vi så en henvendelse om, at nogle har set og indfanget ham i deres have omkring klokken 09:00 i morges, fortæller Cecilie Weng Steglich-Petersen. Den lykkelige ejer skyndte sig afsted, og fik også bekræftet af Politiet, at hendes bil også var blevet fundet. - Jeg var fuldstændig lettet. Milo kom bare løbende over i mine arme, og har været der lige siden, fortæller hun og fortsætter: - Han er meget tryghedssøgende nu, men alligevel virker han mere okay, end jeg havde regnet med.

#kaniner som co-terapeuter fås fx hos "Støttepoter". , der afholder workshop for vores studerende næste uge. Gennem det sidste 1½ år af deres psykologistudium udviklede de en kanin-støttet compassionfokuseret gruppeterapi. Nu har de flere tilbud, alle med øje på #IAHAIO principper for etisk praksis
Dyreassisteret Terapi med Kaniner for Børn, Unge og Institutioner
Støttepoter kombinerer dyreassisteret terapi med CFT, KAT og ACT. Med terapikaniner skabes trygge, sanselige rammer for følelsesregulering, ro og psykisk trivsel – hos jer.

#kaniner er ofte misforståede som et "nemt kæledyr til børnene". Det er de ikke, hvis de skal have det godt, men de er fantastiske familiemedlemmer og sågar co-terapeuter, hvis man sætter sig nok ind i deres behov. Der er hjælp at hente i Lili Chins skønne plakat og hos frikanin.dk .

»Vi tror, vi er et foregangsland, når det kommer til dyrevelfærd, men det er vi slet ikke. Gang på gang slækker politikerne på de krav, vi stiller til producenterne. Der er alt for mange fejl og alt for meget fup i de logbøger, der er kernen i vores danske kontrolsystem.«

Svindel og dyrplageri.

Opfordring til systematisk fusk… det må være skuffende for dem, der har satset på at selvkontrol og frivillig forbedring løser udfordringerne i erhvervet. 😵‍💫Eller tog en masse kolleger straks afstand fra opfordringen?
