What "We" Do

 
Found at the market on Kohlmarkt Braunschweig.
"Kloster" is a convent, an abbey - they have space, reckon the cows lead a happy life as long as they can.
You can order in advance. 
 
We don´t have meat often, yet I think the human being eats and needs "everything" (I skip  on certain seafood) - and I also think we should  - no matter if meat or fruit or veggies or eggs - have an eye on where it comes from.
 
Why would I eat an apple from New Zealand when apples grow in Germany, in fact in my neighbor´s garden who puts the "left overs" out front for free each year? 
Etc, etc!
 
Do you "read" me? 
 
We can get milk from South Germany. Why???? 
We have cows right here, yet some dumbheads buy that from the South. 
I would like to tell them to hop on their push bikes and drive over for that. 
 
"We" slaughter  (or preferably let pros do that) for a healthy life.
 
And then we have this...
 
 
Sign spotted at a shop in Braunschweig.
A small man having civilians slaughtered by (mostly) men from Russia who do not wanna do this.
 
Just yesterday I wanted a code for a document for a railway to be built in Denmark. The woman to give the code is from Poland and we chatted.
She assumed, as my Mum came from near Königsberg - which is now Kaliningrad, that I am half-Russian.
And added, "hey, no worries!" (I have to add: I was born in West Germany and speak no Russian).
 
It is for crying (out loud).
"The Russians"
"The Germans"
 
Men who were and are threatened to either obey or their families get killed.
History repeats itself...
 
I think near to none of them wants to do what they are told to by a small, tiny man who hides in a bunker, that location is unknown, a coward who has his drinking water and food tested by others.
Who is very clever with words and his propaganda works.
 
And now... after MONTHS the German "chancellor", after lying and lying delivers a wee bit of help for Ukraine. 
I once again feel ashamed being German.

Killing an animal to have food is one thing.
This????

Half Russian, half Prussian, German or whatever - human. I stand with Ukraine.

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

 Let us hope one tiny coward leaves this earth like very soon. 💙💛
To peace and freedom.

I am also for peace and freedom. Ordinary people suffer at the hands of those who misuse their power and authority.

Tom said...

...Iris, I stand with Ukraine too, thanks!

Sami said...

I agree with eating local food! Why add more transport and petrol costs to bring over some essentials you might have in your own city?
Nice sign about supporting Ukraine.

Iris Flavia said...

Nancy, yes, misuse what the people voted you for....

Tom, yes, sad we cannot help!

Sami, exactly my point!
Petrol, environment, all that without a reason!

It's crazy how food is distributed. Have a great day Iris.

Eating local is best. It's strange to see how hard that can be :(

That small coward will be replaced by other small cowards. War, killing, human suffering will never end. It is awful. Gigi hawaii

That little man deserves execution by firing squad.

Bill said...

What Putin is doing is a crime against humanity and he should pay the price.

Iris Flavia said...

William, yes. Maybe too mild even.

Bill, I fear he will just lead a life in decadence...

I too stand with Ukraine. I shudder to think what the US response to this conflict would have been if Trump was still president.
