Mit einer bewegenden Aktion vor dem Brandenburger Tor machten 100 Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten von Animal Equality auf die tragischen Folgen der heutigen Tiernutzung aufmerksam. Jeder Einzelne hielt ein Tier in den Händen, welches als Folge der Nutztierhaltung gestorben war. Die Aktivisten machten auf diese Weise das Leiden von Tieren in unserer Gesellschaft sichtbar und setzten sich gleichzeitig für mehr Mitgefühl und Gerechtigkeit für alle Tiere ein.
Die 100 toten Tiere, darunter Lämmer, Küken, Ferkel und Hühner, standen stellvertretend für alle getöteten Tiere durch den Menschen, vor allem durch den Konsum tierischer Produkte. Die Tiere sind in Mastanlagen, Tierversuchslaboren oder anderen Orten der industrialisierten Tiernutzung während ihrer Haltung gestorben und entsorgt worden.
Zahlreiche Menschen blieben stehen und verfolgten sichtbar bewegt die Aktion. Unsere Botschaft wurde somit an unzählige Passanten weitergetragen. Verschiedene Pressevertreter waren vor Ort, um über die Aktion zu berichten und die Leiden der Tiere öffentlich zu thematisieren.

Along Pitt Street Mall in Sydney.
Today we were proud to take part in the Marriage Equality Rally in Sydney, petitioning the Labor Party to amend its platform to allow same-sex marriage. Estimates were that 5-10,000 people took part, marching through the streets of the city in a peaceful and good-natured manner.

Nine months after the World Health Organization declared that the COVID-19 health crisis was a pandemic, international animal protection organization Animal Equality has released a new investigation that reveals China’s wet markets are still in operation—markets where wild and domesticated animals are slaughtered and sold to customers who desire freshly killed, and markets like those where scientists believe COVID-19 originated.
This is not the first time that Animal Equality infiltrated wet markets in Asia. In 2014 and again in early 2020, the nonprofit released shocking images of wet markets in China, Vietnam, and India, which documented extreme neglect and animal cruelty within these unsanitary places.
"The risk posed by wet and live animal markets is undeniable. Unfortunately, Asia’s wet markets are still operating despite media reports and government statements claiming otherwise. As these markets are a direct threat to human health and safety, as well as extremely cruel towards animals, it was our obligation to show the world that these markets are still in business and as such, are increasing the likelihood that another COVID-19 type virus could emerge," said Sharon Núñez, President of Animal Equality.
The investigation was filmed in China in the cities Wuhan, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Guilin, Nanning, and Liuzhou in May 2020 with the help of local activists. The footage reveals that despite the pandemic, live animal markets continue to sell animals such as turtles, frogs, ducks, geese, pigeons, and others, bringing together species that in nature would never live together. Scientific consensus finds that these markets are the perfect breeding ground for animal-borne diseases, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 75% of all new or emerging diseases in humans come from animals.
Animal Equality points to research that warns that the abusive and unhygienic handling and transportation of animals at these markets causes the animals high levels of stress, which leads to the deterioration of their immune systems, making them more susceptible to diseases—diseases that, if the jump is made to humans, increase the likelihood that another pandemic virus could emerge.
Animal Equality seeks the closure of live animal markets, which are not only cruel to animals but also pose a substantial risk to human health and safety. A worldwide petition started by Animal Equality in April calling for the end of all wet markets has gathered over 500K signatures, so far.
