Page views: 156 Born to bring in visitors - died because nobody wants to see you anymore A drama is currently unfolding at Nuremberg Zoo that shows with scandalous clarity what ails modern zoos. 20 Guinea baboons, intelligent, social, sentient, suffering - born in captivity, reared under artificial conditions - are to die. Why? Because they are „too many“. Because they are no longer „useful“....
Page views: 130 The grim reality behind the zoo profiteering scheme Imagine a world in which animals are bred for profit rather than out of love for nature. This has long been a reality in zoos: animals are born, put on display and killed when they are „surplus to requirements“.

Page views: 53 A reaction to the Tagesschau article „Life in Iran after the war with Israel“ from 10.07.2025 War never brings anything but suffering and death for the civilian population. Narcissistic rulers pursue territorial, economic, religious-fanatical or personal goals - the suffering is borne by the people who never asked for this war. In the end, everyone always loses. This is shown in the Tagesschau report...
Page views: 67 Underwater revolution for the energy transition Imagine huge hollow concrete spheres at the bottom of lakes or oceans, each the size of a house, produced in a CO2-neutral way and waiting to store surplus electricity - and that is precisely the principle behind spherical energy storage systems.

Page views: 67 ℹ Allergy information: Personal comment. May contain traces of satire.
