Worldlog Settimana 37 – 2008
On Thursday I presented the Party for the Animals to the International Press Association at a lunch in Perscentrum Nieuwspoort. During a meeting that lasted 1.5 hours I spoke with representatives of the Mexican media, Swiss public radio, die Neue Züricher Zeitung, the Associated Press, the Norwegian media, ARD radio, El Pais, Deutsche Press Agentur, the Spanish press agency EFE and the Israeli press.
A very useful meeting since we as the first party for animals in the world can be an important role model for other animal protectors. I will keep you informed of any articles that appear as a result of this press lunch.
I am currently very busy writing my new book (“the right of the animals, the happiness of people”) in which I draw attention to the fact that people who choose life and well-being for animals need not make any real sacrifices because of their choices – on the contrary!
The eating of animal protein is one of the top causes of major social problems such as climate change, the world food crisis, land degradation, deforestation, the inequitable distribution of raw materials, obesity, hunger, soil, water and air pollution and, of course, a great many problem related to animal well-being.
A more vegetable-based economy would be much more animal friendly, as well much more people friendly, and would give our society a far more sustainable character.
We heard this week that our film Meat the Truth will be shown at the Artivist Film Festival in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on 3 October. If you happen to be in the neighbourhood around that time, tickets are just $10. I can really recommend this one 😉
Tuesday is the day of the Queen’s speech in the Netherlands. The Queen addresses the nation from the throne and later there is a costume ball. For the ladies, it is an occasion to wear a special hat. My hat – to which the finishing touches are currently being applied – will again carry an animal-friendly message. Look out for a picture next week!
Giovedì ho presentato il Partito per gli Animali per l’associazione della stampa internazionale, durante un pranzo nel Centro stampa Nieuwspoort. Durante una conferenza di un’ora e mezza ho parlato con i rappresentanti dei media Messicani, della radio pubblica svizzera, della Neue Züricher zeitung, di Associated Press, dei media norvegesi, di ARD Radio, di El Pais, della Deutsche Press Agentur, dell’agenzia stampa spagnola EFE e della stampa israeliana.
E’ stata una conferenza molto utile, perché noi, essendo il primo partito politico animalista nel mondo, possiamo servire d’esempio agli altri sostenitori della protezione degli animali. Vi terrò al corrente degli articoli che verranno pubblicati in seguito a questa conferenza stampa.
In questo periodo sono impegnata a scrivere il mio nuovo libro “la ragione degli animali, la felicità degli umani”. Nel libro mi concentro sul fatto che coloro che prendono posizione per la vita e il benessere degli animali non ci perdono niente, al contrario!
Il consumo di proteine animali è una delle principali cause di grandi problemi sociali, come i problemi climatici, la crisi alimentare mondiale, il degrado del suolo, il diboscamento, la distribuzione ineguale delle materie prime, l’obesità, la fame, l’inquinamento del suolo, dell’acqua e dell’aria e naturalmente tanti problemi legati al benessere degli animali.
Un’economia più vegetale sarebbe migliore sia per animali che per gli uomini e aumenterebbe considerivolmente il carattere sostenibile della nostra società.
Ci è pervenuta la notizia che il nostro film Meat the Truth sarà proiettato all’ Artivist Film Festival a Hollywood/Los Angeles. Se hai voglia di andarci e se per caso ti trovi nei dintorni: l’ingresso costa solo 10$, te lo posso raccomandare. 😉
Martedì in Olanda è ‘Prinsjesdag’, il giorno di apertura del parlamento, nel quale la Regina legge il ‘Troonrede’, il discorso della corona, concernente il piano governativo dell’anno successivo. Questo si accompagna da molto cerimoniale e le donne portano tradizionalmente un cappello speciale. Si lavora ancora al mio cappello, che, anche quest’anno, trasmetterà un messaggio di rispetto verso gli animali. La prossima settimana vedrete la foto!
