The third past interview, recorded on Thursday, 25 December 2024. Unfortunately, the interview is not complete.

Pageviews: 130 Legendary environmental activist Captain Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and founder of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, was arrested in Greenland in July 2024. This was done at the request of the whaling nation Japan without an international or national arrest warrant and without there ever having been a judgement or even a trial. The Danish judiciary...
Page views: 288 When I was at Loro Parque in Tenerife almost twenty years ago, I stood in front of a huge pool in amazement. A majestic killer whale shot out of the water, performed skilful turns and sprayed water onto the enthusiastic spectators. At the time, I was fascinated, impressed by the supposed harmony between man and animal. Today, with the knowledge of today, I am ashamed...
Page views: 130 Interview: „Why Paul Watson is a hero and the world needs him“ In conversation with my friend Marion. The second past interview, recorded on Sunday, 10 November 2024.

Pageviews: 90 The bizarre thing about international law is that it only applies to those who have submitted to it. From a legal point of view, Japan has probably done nothing wrong with its new commercial whaling programme. Like Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway, Canada. They are not subject to international law so it is not binding on them. A good friend gave me today...

His belief that cows are naturally designed to produce milk for humans reminded me again of the endless discussions I've already had: How can we continue to believe...

For years, I have not only been fighting against an incurable disease, but also against a system that makes my life even more difficult. Today is another day when I realise how degrading and inhuman our bureaucratic system can be. The medical...
Page views: 148 Hi, how are you today? I know it's Sunday, but my work as an environmental activist doesn't recognise weekends. Nature needs us more than ever. If we humans carry on as we are, the future could look bleak. Positive change is possible - and that's why I'm writing to you today. 🐋💙 When my carer gave me a T-shirt today from...
Seitenaufrufe: 850 ? Am Sonntag hat mich mein Schwesterherz aus Spanien noch einmal für einen Tag besucht, bevor sie wieder zurück nach Hause musste. Sie war zuletzt in unserer alten Heimat Herzogenaurach, der „Weltstadt des Sports“. adidas und PUMA sind hier zu Hause, aber auch viele weniger bekannte und mehr bekannte Arbeitgeber wie der Automobilzulieferer INA Schaeffler. Ein Trauerspiel,...
Seitenaufrufe: 2,159 Vor kurzem bemerkte ich eine Rötung und ein unangenehmes Gefühl in meinem Auge. Auf eindringlichen Rat meines Teamleiters – ich hatte ja so gar keinen Bock darauf – bat ich meinen Hausarzt um einen Hausbesuch, der nach einer gründlichen Untersuchung feststellte, dass meine Bindehaut beschädigt war. Er wollte mir zunächst eine wundheilende Salbe verschreiben, doch ich äußerte...
