Animals in Spain will no longer be considered as “objects” by the law thanks to new legislation passed on Thursday by Spain’s lower house, the Congress of Deputies.
From now on, animals will be treated as “sentient beings,” and as such will have a different legal standing than an inanimate object.
They will no longer be able to be seized, abandoned, mistreated or separated from one of their owners in the case of a divorce or separation, without having their wellbeing and protection taken into account.
The new law to modify the legal framework of animals was approved on Thursday with wide support from Spain’s Congress – only the far-right Vox party voted against the measure.
The legislation changes the Civil Code,Mortgage Law and Civil Procedure Law, and broadly applies to all animals, whether they are domesticated or wild.
Animals were already recognized as sentient beings, with rights and…
Let’s start with thank you. The support and solidarity we have received over the past six weeks, but especially this weekend, has been overwhelming.
On Saturday, we were harshly evicted, with police brutality and a demonstration of power. More on this later, but for now: so much love for everyone who stood there with us. And especially so much love for the people who voluntarily exposed themselves to state violence, prosecution and very literal physical violence by the police.
Many thanks to Extinction Rebellion and Comrade Twingo without whom the eviction would have been a lot easier for the police. Thanks to everyone who helped us ensure that Hotel Mokum could not be quietly swept away. But also thank you to everyone who supported us in any other way, this weekend and for the past six weeks.
You are all so amazing and so fucking brave and we couldn’t have done this without you.
The enormous support we have received in such a short period of time says something about the size of the problem. Places like Hotel Mokum are much needed. What we experienced this weekend was a demonstration of the power of the movement and the community, of old and new supporters.
The exaggerated use of power by the police and the municipality shows that the housing struggle and the squatting movement are a serious threat to the system.
Let’s not forget that what happened this weekend is an attack on free spaces and alternative culture everywhere, that it shows that the municipality is prioritising the rights of property owners over the rights of people to live and work, that this is unacceptable, that we need to keep fighting and most of all let’s not forget that we are fucking angry!
Aún peor ahora albergamos los 4 Destructores de Mísiles Balísticos más avanzados de EEUU en la base de la OTAN en Rota. Estos buques deben ser eliminados en los primeros minutos de una guerra ya “difícil de evitar” según Putin, porque amanezcan el arsenal nuclear de Rusia.
Además, España sigue con tropas y tanques contra Rusia en Letonia, donde el Gobierno, apoyado y armado por EEUU, se juntan al coro diario exigiendo un ataque de los ultraderechistas Ucranios contra la población Rusa en Donbas.
Mientras tanto Rusia por su parte ha estrenado sus nuevos misiles hipersónicos que van a 27 veces la velocidad del sonido, dejando obsoleto las defensas de la OTAN. (ver abajo)
La crisis crece al rojo vivo. Rusia se encuentra obligada a defender a un millón de sus ciudadanos en la región sublevada de Donbas, mientras la OTAN arma e insta a los “nazis” del oeste de Ucrania a atacarlos, rompiendo totalmente el tratado de Kyiv.
Aquí en España parece que ni la media, ni el público ni el Gobierno están consciente del peligro existencial.
“Israeli” authorities have freed a prominent Palestinian prisoner, two weeks after reaching a release deal that ended his marathon 131-day hunger strike, a prisoner rights group has said.
Kayed Fasfous, 32, had remained in an “Israeli” hospital since ending his strike on November 23.
He was the symbolic figurehead of six hunger strikers protesting the “Israeli” entity’s controversial policy of “administrative detention”, which allows suspects to be held indefinitely without charge.
The entity has said the policy is necessary to keep dangerous suspects locked away without disclosing sensitive information that could expose valuable sources.
Palestinians and rights groups said the practice denies the right of due process, allowing the entity to hold prisoners for months or even years without seeing the evidence against them. The law is rarely applied to “Israelis”.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club, a group representing former and current prisoners, confirmed Fasfous…
A Turkish court has handed down a suspended sentence to a former non commissioned officer standing trial for raping İpek Er, an 18-year-old Kurdish woman who was later driven to committing suicide, local media reported on Friday.
In the sixth and final hearing of his trial on Friday, former soldier Musa Orhan was given a suspended sentence of 10 years by the Siirt 1st High Criminal Court on conviction of sexual assault.
Since the sentence was suspended, Orhan wasn’t arrested but was rather placed under judicial supervision, Turkish media reports said.
Human Rights Association (İHD) co-chair and lawyer Eren Keskin on Friday condemned Turkish judiciary for letting Orhan walk free.
“İpek Er ended her life after the sexual assault she experienced. The attacker is free and most likely will.. not ‘serve’ the sentence he was given. This is a place where a uniform and a wolf sign are held as ‘superior’ to both domestic and international law,” Keskin tweeted, referring to a photo of Orhan released by the Turkish media showing him making a hand sign of the nazi Grey Wolves, representing a wolf’s head.
”Reminding the public that sergeant Musa Orhan abducted and raped İpek Er for 20 days and drove her into suicide last August in Batman province, social media users have also denounced the fact that Musa Orhan is again free and criticized the policy of impunity in the country”.. Jin News.
The Anhui Chinese Alligator National Nature Reserve, the world’s largest breeding and research centre for the species, will be sheltering the alligators to help them through the cold winter months.
Yangtze alligators, also known as Chinese alligators, are native to the rich wetlands along the mid and downstream of the Yangtze River. This ancient and fragile animal is among the rarest reptiles in the world. With a wild population of less than 200, it is listed as “critically endangered” by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is also under national first-class protection under Chinese law.
It is the only member of the eight species in the Alligatoridae family to exist outside of the Americas. Chinese alligators can live up to 70 years in human care, and can reproduce into their 50s.

In historical times, the Chinese alligator was found in the extensive lakes and marshlands of the middle-lower Yangtze River region and along the river from Shanghai to Jianling City in the Hubei Province. Today it is limited to the lower Yangtze, primarily in the Anhui and Zhejiang provinces in eastern China.
Marshlands, ponds, lakes, reservoirs, river backwater canals, rice paddies and irrigation networks provide suitable habitat. It is native to slow-moving freshwater areas of the lower Yangtze River in China where it eats snails, crustaceans, insects, fish, young waterfowl and rodents.
The Chinese alligator differs from its American counterpart in subtle ways. It’s smaller, the head is more robust and its snout is slightly upturned. The eyelids of the Chinese alligator have a bony plate that is missing in the American alligator. The American alligator also lacks the bony belly plates, or osteoderms, of the Chinese alligator. Chinese alligators usually grow to about 1.5 meters. The largest Chinese alligator measured in recent times was about half the size of the largest living American alligators. Some may weigh up to 38.5 kilograms; however, most weigh less than 23 kilograms.
The species digs extensive earthen tunnels with multiple chambers, entrances and pools. Largely nocturnal because of human persecution, they stay in their tunnels much of the day when humans are in the vicinity as well as during cool weather and winter months.
The Yangtze or Yangzi is the longest river in Asia, the third-longest in the world and the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country. It rises at Jari Hill in the Tanggula Mountains and flows 6,300 km in a generally easterly direction to the East China Sea.
They will no longer be able to be seized, abandoned, mistreated or separated from one of their owners in the case of a divorce or separation, without having their wellbeing and protection taken into account.
