I can’t wrap my head around how much bombing happened yesterday, all over "kite" as an excuse. we're living through one of the darkest times in human history. I genuinely don't know what we're supposed to do just to have some peace and live.
Archives | A joint investigation by the German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Venezuelan media outlet Armando Info has revealed that Vantara, owned by Anant Ambani, the youngest son of the Reliance chairperson, Mukesh Ambani, has received at least thirty-nine thousand wild animals from over thirty countries since 2022. Several of the imported animals in Vantara actually belong to species that are subject to an international trade ban, under the CITES. The report notes that Vantara has been under international scrutiny for bypassing restrictions under the CITES, possibly with cover from the Indian government.
Among Vantara’s large and varied population of exotic, endangered animals are more than ninety African cheetahs, including over a dozen cubs. A 2024 investigation by Himal found that Vantara has been sourcing animals not only from private entities in India and abroad but also from state-owned zoos in Gujarat and Assam. Some state zoos have also sent to Jamnagar exotic species that were given to them after being seized from trafficking operations. In addition, state forest departments, especially in Maharashtra, have sent wildlife from mining-affected regions and sites of human–animal conflict—often related to a reduction in wildlife habitat—to the private compound, without taking into consideration the environmental and wildlife impacts from its proximity to one of the world’s largest oil refineries. The Himal investigation found that “Vantara has poached veterinary and animal-care staff from conservation NGOs across India.”

To me there is no need to compare Israel with any past evils. It has defined a level of evil that creates a benchmark for all future evils to be compared to.
We expect Israelis to brutalize Palestinians because that’s what they’re taught to do from birth. But the fact that Israelis also regularly inflict the same cruelty on random animals they’re ostensibly not raised to hate further proves how sadistic Israeli society is. Murder as tradition.
The full quote is even more disgusting:
“I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat – there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”
Chinese manjha is a bullshit terminology to deviate the blame away to China. These nylon strings coated with powdered glass are manufactured in Gujarat itself. If Govt wants to tackle the issue seriously, they could cancel the licence of those factories.
