🚨Breaking News🚨

The Faroese government is considering requesting Paul Watson's extradition to the Faroe Islands.

On paper, it might look better, but being detained and extradited within the same kingdom for a fine doesn't make legal sense.

Despite this, Høgni Hoydal, Deputy Prime Minister of the Faroe Islands, has gone on record to comment that Paul Watson has broken Faroese law several times without prosecution and mentions discussing the situation with the Governor of Legal Affairs.

Bjarni Kárason Petersen, Minister of State for Legal Affairs, says they are investigating the possibility of asking for Paul Watson's extradition.

With Greenland and Faroes being part of the Danish judicial system, we wait to see whether Denmark will stand by its legal obligations to protect whales and dolphins. Or whether it instead tries to appease those who seek independence from the Kingdom of Denmark

It is that time of the year again where humans celebrate and animals suffer.

The Animals Protection Act clearly states that “it is illegal for any person to terrify any animal” yet this law is completely ignored during Fireworks season.

Every year thousands of animals are traumatised, lost or severely injured. It must be noted that Fireworks are nationally controlled by The Explosives Act No 26 of 156 and also the bylaws determined by local municipalities. It is illegal for any child under the age of 16 to use or buy fireworks and it is illegal to use or sell fireworks without an official permit.

We urge the public to be responsible – do not buy fireworks and do not set them off! If you see someone illegally selling fireworks report this immediately to the relevant authorities (JMPD on 011 375 5911)

This week on Vegan World Radio. 12th Anniversary of The Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness*
On this day of July 7, 2012, a prominent international group of cognitive neuroscientists,
neuropharmacologists, neurophysiologists, neuroanatomists and computational neuroscientists
gathered at The University of Cambridge to reassess the neurobiological substrates of conscious
experience and related behaviors in human and non-human animals. While comparative research on
this topic is naturally hampered by the inability of non-human animals, and often humans, to clearly
and readily communicate about their internal states, the following observations can be stated
unequivocally: ... We declare the following: “The absence of a neocortex does not appear to preclude an organism from
experiencing affective states. Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the
neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the
capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans
are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Non-human
animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses†, also possess
these neurological substrates." VIEWER DISCRETION: Last 15 seconds of video portray images of animals suffering.
