At the beginning of the 16th Century and a PhD in rutin doctorate in theology, his satire magazine "Encomio Moria (Praise of Folly) was known and was his collection of proverbs. Shortly after some of his works were published, he taught Greek in England and received the parish of Aldington. Later he worked at the court of Burgundy in Leuven and Erasmus' first printed edition of the New Testament (Lutheran translation) was published in Greek.

His most famous work is the satirical "praise of Folly, but also the critical edition of the Greek New Testament, which shaped the Reformation, is an important part of his work. But the fact that he laid the foundation for the Reformed theology should be mentioned here. Erasmus introduced the thesis on, God has left man free will to choose between good and evil, which of course could be effective only with God's grace. This differed from Luther's thought patterns.

Millions of animals suffer from poor living conditions. Because their attitude is often under economic pressure, this animal-protection issues have already been mapped out.
FOUR PAWS addresses these issues with a market campaign. This is the demand for locally produced foods cruel cut, the one to be strengthened after animal-friendly produced food, however. The general objective of the consumption of meat and other animal products are reduced. Today in Switzerland about 52 pounds of meat consumed per capita.
FOUR PAWS occurs not himself as a player in the market (such as monitoring body of a meat labels), but sees itself as influencers. We give foreign impulses of do, but remain independent.

... Sauerreien which they look the same and in which we ask ourselves where we are supposed to look for the dignity, the alleged here is not to be touched ...
check on all foods of animal origin, see an EEC number. Using these numbers, the consumer can check where the product originates, and who has processed it.
The EEC number is the country code (eg, HU = Hungary,
( F = France, BE = Belgium ) and an operating point. Sometimes, yet the addition of EC or EEC, indicating that the product originates in the European Economic Community, or an abbreviation that stands for the federal-land in which it was produced.
the EEC number usually found near the expiry date. It consists of an oval with a letter and number sequence. Above is an example of meat from Hungary (HU-129-EK). HU refers to the country of origin of the meat - in this case Hungary. 129 is to operate, here Merian Szervíz, a foie gras producer. EC stands for refrigerator or freezer houses.
The French EEC numbers are a little different than, say, the German. Many infor-mation are encoded as numbers. In our example, the F stands for the country code France, the first number (67) for the department (Departments of approximately correspond to our provinces). The second number (447) for the community from which the meat comes from and the third digit (05) is the ordinal number of the producing company in the community (eg abattoir). It stands for the company Castaing, a large producer of foie gras. CEE is also here for the European Economic Community.
blacklist FOUR PAWS has compiled a list of EEC numbers, behind which are Stopfleberprodu-producers and traders. In the left column of the list for the EEC numbers. They represent the most important companies of the Hungarian and French foie gras production and thus the main beneficiaries of this animal suffering. Adjust these numbers with the numbers on the meat in your supermarket from. If they are identical, do not buy the meat. Talk to staff important that it could be found to contain a product of Stopfmast.
"Foie Gras" is the French word for "fat liver". These can originate from both ducks and geese. The production of fatty liver is always associated with animal cruelty.
The animals will be introduced two to three times a day up to 50 centimeters long metal tube through the throat to the stomach in, then they are forcibly fed large quantities of maize porridge and fat. This process is called "plug". Through the stopper, the animals specifically made ill, so that their liver is increased many times over. The result is the fatty degeneration liver, a diseased organ - sells expensive than fatty liver - foie gras.
a barbaric relic The feeding of geese and ducks has its origins in ancient Egypt. As early as 2500 BC people, geese or ducks began to feed and thereby produce foie. Today, this procedure is cruel in many countries prohibited by law and is classified as animal cruelty. However, "foie gras" to this day is traded around the world as a supposed delicacy.
illegal in many countries - But the trade flourishes ... Although the feeding of geese and ducks is now banned in 14 European countries can be easily circumvented this prohibition, in which the animals are simply fattened abroad.
Even states that prohibit the import of foie gras, continue this illegal product. Thus, simply shift production to other countries, the entire metropolitan regions, give rise to mast factories. Not only from animal welfare point of view a scandal.
... but the production continues
are grown worldwide 40 million geese and ducks for foie gras production. 96% all stuffed animals are ducks today, for holding and fattening are cheaper than those of geese. While geese are stuffed 3-4 times per day, you hit a duck even at 2 issues plugs the same profit.
Hungary is the world's largest exporter, after France's second largest producer of foie gras. 3 million animals living in the Hungarian mast systems. 2,000 tons of foie gras will be distributed from Hungary in Europe and Asia. The main customers of Hungarian foie gras are France, Japan and Belgium. Closely followed by Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Slovakia and Spain.
France is the world's largest producer in the world. 80% Foie gras production comes from France world. In 2005, France produced 18 450 tons of foie gras. Bulgaria produced 1,500 tons in the same year.
What you can do
Do not buy a duck or goose meat (thighs, breast, wing) from France, Hungary and Belgium.
hands away from ducks or geese without giblets! Where the liver is missing the stuffed animal was most likely.
Note the EEC number on the product. Based on the number you can check with our black list, whether the meat comes from a country with forced feeding. hands away from all Foie gras pates, terrines and other similar products from duck liver. Even products with country of origin Germany or Austria, may contain FG meat or foie gras.
care at the farmers market! If you think, here come the ducks and geese from Germany only wrong, is enormous. Here, too, unwrapped, fresh poultry from force-feeding is sold. Just ask about the origin and do not buy in doubt.
Remember that even the conventional duck and goose fattening takes place under animal welfare requirements. How about this Christmas with vegetarian alternatives or at least organic meat?
At Christmas, they are again filling the freezers of supermarkets with geese and ducks.
What the consumer does not know A large part comes from the foie gras.
The feeding of geese and ducks is one of the most-cruel methods to an apparent delicacy - to produce - foie gras (French for "fat liver"). The animals will be introduced two to three times a day, a 50 cm long tube through the throat into the stomach. Force-feeding aware induced disease of the internal organs and cages make the everyday dar. of Stopfenten and foie gras geese at the end of the fattening period her liver is so large that they can hardly breathe or move.
FOUR PAWS has been fighting for years against this cruelty to animals. In many countries, including Germany, the Stopfmast is prohibited. Business is booming yet - on trade, especially with Hungary, which is also France's second largest producer of foie gras.
consumer deception at the expense of the animals Apart from fatty liver is the meat of animals who suffer a major pillar of the whole Foie Gras. The inferior, meat fatty degeneration of some seven million ducks and geese is to supermarkets, restaurants and weekly markets delivered in Germany. The customer has no way to make be fixed, whether the animal comes from the cruel forced pole. FOUR PAWS wants to end these animal welfare and consumer protection scandal.
meat from Foie Gras production is sold in German supermarkets. FOUR PAWS negotiated with the food chain - with initial success: REWE, buying land, Famila and Coop have already promised to sell no FG meat.
FOUR PAWS FOUR PAWS campaign things in different countries, like Hungary, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands, an international campaign against the Stopfmast started. Our goal is to inform the public about the existing grievances to raise awareness and take action against Rechtsverstö-SSE at the international and national level.
stated aim of the activities is the end of Stopfmast of ducks and geese in the European Union. In addition to an international boycott of the products we deal with grocery chains to stop selling products from the forced pole.
The campaign is directed against the buyers of foie gras and to pressure on the producing countries . Exercise
The evidence of FOUR PAWS not only shows serious violations of animal protection law, but also to environmental and health regulations. None of the farms adhere to documented guidelines - the whole production is not compatible with animal welfare. When breaches of animal welfare, environmental and consumer protection in default risk - the plant must be closed immediately.
FOUR PAWS and its international partners are calling for a ban on this type of animal husbandry and animal feed to prevent the animal suffering forever.
14 European countries already have a ban! FOUR PAWS is his call to ban the Stopfmast is not a minority: the mast forced to foie gras is banned because of their cruelty in 14 European countries. However, the humane product is exported through Europe and across consumed. Hungary is the world's largest exporter, after France's second largest producer of foie gras. About three million animals living in the Hungarian farms stuffing.

Stop it: Play a campaign against wild animals in European circuses
Stop it! Campaign against wild animals in European circuses The international animal protection organization FOUR PAWS today launched its Stop it! Campaign in six European countries. The goal is a ban on wild animals in circuses. The campaign will run in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Hungary and Romania. In addition to traditional campaign events Supporters are invited to participate in the internet and show policymakers the RED CARD.
"Wild animals can live in a circus impossible to species level," said Thomas Pietsch, wildlife expert and director of FOUR PAWS campaign. "A lion wanders in the wild up to 400 square kilometers -. Vegetate in the circus it on a few square meters, a sea lion, which appears in nature to a depth of 250 meters, is held in a circus in a tiny pool."
The Stop it! FOUR PAWS campaign of information and documents the daily suffering of the animals. In www.vier-pfoten.de/stopit show current video clips for the defective conditions of wild animals in circuses. Supporters can be actively involved: send a red card, return the created images of circus animals and their views through a portrait with the Stop it! Shield express. FOUR PAWS expects a high turnout, because many people are opposed to the display of wild animals - especially if they know the negative consequences for the animals.
is estimated that today in Europe up to 1,000 circus companies, most of the animals in our program. Exact numbers are not known, but experts expect from a stock of several thousand circus animals from. Often particularly elephants, lions, tigers and lions are kept, but also monkeys, bears, giraffes, rhinos and hippos periods most of her life in a cage wagon and under the big top. The attitude is insufficient, the questionable training methods and the art pieces often contradict the natural behavior of animals. The constant movement and the noise burden on the animals. Many circus animals therefore exhibit behavioral problems and often suffer from serious diseases.
Many countries have traveled to the keeping of wild animals in circuses banned or restricted, such as Austria, Bulgaria, Sweden, the United States or Israel. "These countries Show that only a complete ban on entertainment, the suffering of the animals. It is high time that Germany followed suit, "says Thomas Pietschmann.

voices from the policy "The numerous Problems that arise in the keeping of wild animals in circuses are known to me. In general, a species-and behavioral-appropriate accommodation under the terms of a traveling circus company is not guaranteed. We will support the planned initiative in its own parliamentary initiative and the federal government request to use the authorization of the 13 paragraph 3 of the Animal Protection Act and to submit an ordinance that forbids keeping a number of wild animals in circuses. "
Claudia Hämmerling, Group Alliance 90/The Greens in the Berlin House of Representatives
"We are convinced that an art-and behavior-oriented location of certain Wild animals in circuses in practice is nearly impossible. With the protection of animals is complicated by implementation deficits and lack of shelter. "
Hans-Jürgen Klein, animal welfare policy spokesman for the Alliance 90/The Greens in the Lower Saxony Parliament
" his is why it must be our goal that circuses in future only those animals carry that can be kept humanely under the terms of a traveling circus company. This means that animal species in which this animal welfare-friendly housing is not guaranteed to be excluded from the operation of a circus company. "
Christian Wulff, Chairman of the CDU faction in the parliament of Lower Saxony, chairman of the CDU in Lower Saxony
"The keeping of exotic animals, especially in small circuses, is extremely problematic and can often be made by accounting improvements are not humane. Therefore, it would be a useful measure in the keeping, trade and the importation of certain exotic to prohibit or limit, so that they in circuses are no longer on display. "
Ms. von der Schulenburg, Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Ministry of Environment and Health
"I agree with your view that the welfare of most wildlife species, traditionally or as a unusual attraction will be shown in circuses, very difficult to impossible. The current legislation calls while under the Animal Protection Act the welfare of animals and also specifies the monitoring and enforcement of legal requirements. The legal standards are not sufficient for the enforcement of animal protection in the sense of the legislature in this area is not enough. "
Dr. Prokert, Officer, Ministry of Social Affairs
" we naturally support initiatives, the end of the keeping of certain wild animals in circuses and to enshrine in legislation "
Dr. Wenzel, Ltd.. Ministerialrat, Bavarian Ministry of State for Health, Nutrition and Consumer Protection
"The aforementioned problems you are known to us and unfortunately both the old and the new states often encountered. In our view, circus companies in their ability to keep wild animals humanely, often straight from cost reasons, limited. Tierartgerchte housing conditions can circus companies provide the same not at all. Therefore, it would certainly be useful to develop transitional arrangements, under which wild animals are kept in nothing but zoos and circus events, as practiced in various countries, are very withdrawn. "
Reinhard Dankert, Parliamentary Secretary of the SPD parliamentary group in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
can "tell me you on your specific concern that in the opinion of the CDU parliamentary group a retention prohibition of wild animals in circuses, traveling menagerie and similar establishments, where a proper housing is not guaranteed should be sought.

"On behalf of the welfare policy spokesman of the FDP parliamentary group, Dr. Heiner Garg, I would like to inform you that your suggestions have been taken already by the FDP.

Medinacelli (Soria) -.. Burning Hell This is the pinnacle of cruelty to animals, the incredible barbarity is that a kind of ball is placed on both horns of this is set on fire before the poor bulls by the streets are hunted. Through fire and smoke the animal suffers great Pain. More information about this at ANPBA: CAMPANA INTERNACIONAL CONTRA LOS TOROS DE FUEGO "DE CATALUÑA (ESPANA)
This form of" fire bulls "has been banned in other regions of Spain, such as in Madrid, the Basque Country, Castilla-La Mancha, Andalusia . In the so-called "progressive" Catalonia is, however, they further addition to the "fire animal" is in the south of Catalonia, nor the "bous capllacats" or "tethered bulls. This is complicated by the horns attached to a rope and they will be held for hours through the streets. For example, the INITIATIVE ANTI-CORRIDA was at such a spectacle in Lodosa (Navarra) and it had to find out how much these animals . Suffer
All this shows that straight Catalonia its "homework" in dealing with animals must still lie ahead. The season lasts from
April (Easter) to September / November. Most battles take place in Madrid and Seville. If you attend a bull fight, you should do so in an arena known of famous bullfighters. Inexperienced Toreros (novilleros) often lend a bloody and ill-conceived 'work'.
We recommend a hat and water bottle with you.
