In my opinion

Ban Ki-Moon and the death penalty

Share Button

bankimoon

“… for one human being to inflict on another” ????? What a strange argument against the death penalty. It is the state, not one human being, that takes a life, veiled in procedure and ritual, lawbook in hand, rehearsed and premeditated, in the name of an entire nation.

Tierpark Friedrichsfelde

Share Button

Tierpark Friedrichsfelde in the former East Berlin is Europe’s largest landscape zoo: http://www.tierpark-berlin.de/tierpark.html. It is not quite as centrally located as the zoo near Kurfürstendamm, but easily reached by public transport. A lot of walking is involved in a visit, sometimes in forest-like terrain, so comfortable shoes are advised. Here are some photos from my visit there in July 2012:

In my opinion

“Copenhagen Zoo just killed four lions”

Share Button

Oh here we go again. To think that a) this is something new, and b) it only happens in Copenhagen Zoo is laughable. It is after all an INTERNATIONAL breeding programme. Being against zoos in general is everybody’s right, but to keep singling out Copenhagen Zoo just because it has decided to be open about how zoos work, while all the other zoos remain too cowardly to come forward is the height of hypocrisy.
