Foie gras temporarily banned in France
From daily The Independent in Britain:
France bans foie gras for three months over bird flu scare
The country is responsible for 75 per cent of the global production
Caroline Mortimer
Producers of foie gras have said they will lose millions of euros as France introduces a three-month ban on production.
The measure, which has been prompted by a bird flu scare, means breeders in 18 départments in south west France will not be allowed to have any ducks or geese in their slaughterhouses until August.
Foie gras – or fattened duck or goose liver – is considered a delicacy by some but is denounced as cruel by animal rights campaigners due the practice of force-feeding.
Breeder Florence Lasserre told the France Info news channel that her gavage room – meaning the room where the birds are force fed – was currently empty.
She said: “Usually it’s full here, and it…

Victory! Zambia Bans Child Marriage!

From Earth We Are One
Child marriage ban, finally in Zambia, to hit the overwhelming use of women or girls as tools of income right in the kisser.
“People [in rural areas] perceive a girl child as a source of wealth, and would rather give the girl into marriage to raise funds for educating the boy child.”
Nearly one-third of girls under 18 used to get married, 4 percent of that are married under 15. Let’s give some life to these numbers. If there are 7,323,771 females in Zambia around the year 2014. 1/3 around of them get married at 18 which is 2,441,257. That is so many children getting married before they even have a shot of what life could be. Now out of 2,441,257, 4% are married under 15 years of age. 97,650.28 females have been married in 2014 under the age of 15 in Zambia.

Polly Mann: Nuclear Weapons On Hair Trigger Alert
Despite his initial public commitment to build a nuclear weapons-free world, what the President has proposed would cost $1 trillion over 30 years to “modernize” the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
By Polly Mann Women Against Military Madness Newsletter Spring II 2016
The Instruments of Human Sustenance (Humani Victus Instrumenta). Etching, 16th cen. Italy. Humanity is inseparable from its tools, which can be invented to destroy life—or to create things for our benefit instead.
It’s a subject presidential hopefuls are not willing to talk about because the question cannot be answered without an examination–perhaps denunciation–of U.S. nuclear policy. (If there is an exception of one candidate making a statement, you will need to discover it for yourself.) The truth is, of course, that the use of nuclear weapons could be the beginning of the end of all life on earth.
Despite his initial public commitment to build a nuclear weapons-free world, what…

Occupied Centre ‘the Female Dragon’ under attack
La Dragona..the Female Dragon is the only Occupied Autonomous Social Centre that’s part of a cemetery… But it is very much alive, since 2008 resisting all attacks and setting the social and political scene in Elipa Barrio alight with it’s fiery breath.
Now the Council say they want the abandoned historic mansion back to make it a museum.. To fill it with DEAD THINGS.
In reality the authorities are still furious.. that an open Social Centre can work well for years and years.. outside their control, ignoring all their rules and regulations and police, seeking no grants, deciding all by open assembly, making no profits, creating a small FREE SPACE where creativity
explodes like the beans in Spring.. and worst of all.. demonstrating that anarchist ideas can work.
Only last week the classic Occupied Center ‘La Morada’ was evicted by the police with no eviction order and 32 arrests.
Below we translate the Communique from the female Dragon Collective and assembly which appeared on Twitter #LaDragonaResiste Continue reading “Occupied Centre ‘the Female Dragon’ under attack”
