Disinfo: Danish zoo collecting people’s unwanted house pets as feed for carnivores

Summary

Denmark, which has previously sparked controversy with its unorthodox ways of slaughtering animals deemed unfit for breeding and dissecting them in front of the public, has taken things to a whole new level by collecting people’s unwanted house pets as feed for carnivores.For those willing to do away with their pet, hungry predators at the Copenhagen Zoo and Givskud Zoo are more than ready to take over. Both zoos are eagerly accepting pet animals as feed for carnivores like lions, tigers, wolves and Tasmanian devils.

Disproof

According to the Givskud Zoo mentioned in the article, you can’t just drop off animals. All donations requires prior agreement and must be approved by the vet. The practice is not a way for people to get rid of unwanted pets. The zoo does not accept more animals than needed, only rodents are accepted. Initially, RT also reported about this, but later added a disclaimer from the two zoo's implicated in the article www.rt.com/news/414309-denmark-zoos-dont-feed-pets-lions/, .

There is no such blogger from the Finnish city of Oulu, according to the fact-checking by the website Fontanka.fi. The photograph attached to the article represents actually Atte Korhola, a professor of environmental change at the University of Helsinki.

A similar disinfo article appeared already in 2015 on the website Cont.ws. The article claimed that India, China, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland should be grateful to Russia for their sovereignty, which is recurring pro-Kremlin historical revisionism. Further debunking by newspaper Ilta-Sanomat.

Arab refugees tried to kill two Czech boys

Just before Christmas, three Arab refugees attacked two Czechs. In front of a club in Brno, a fight broke out in the early morning, when the refugees verbally attacked a girl. Two Czechs wanted to protect this girl so they got involved. They were then attacked with a knife and seriously injured by the Arabs. The attackers clearly aimed at the arteries on their throats and wanted to kill the Czechs, they failed only because of the rapid and good reaction of the Czechs.

The Czech police have issued a statement that they are clearly not refugees. All of the perpetrators have been living in the Czech Republic for several years and they speak Czech. All offenders were caught and will be tried under Czech law, like any other Czech citizen. www.policie.cz/clanek/hadka-mela-krvavou-dohru.aspx, , twitter.com/CTHH_MV/status/945990424803532802,

Czech safety is out of the governmental control due to the EU’s multicultural policy

The head of the SPD movement Tomio Okamura says that the Czech Republic is under a threat of a terrorist attacks. According to him, if there was no danger, no anti-terrorist barracks would be placed in public places, and no policemen would go with the machine gun among the public places. In addition Czech safety is out of the governmental control, because Czech citizens have become hostages of the EU’s multicultural policy.

Roadblocks and policemen with machine guns are only precautions. However, the threat of terrorist attacks in the Czech Republic is very low. Also according to the annual report of the Czech Security Information Service the Muslim community in the Czech Republic maintains a very moderate character, the August 2016  march called "Muslims against Terrorism" showed their disagreement with jihadist terrorist attacks. The Czech Security Intelligence Service BIS has stated that the only radical issue connected with the Czech Muslim community is Islamophobia directed against Muslims. www.bis.cz/vyrocni-zprava16e1.html?ArticleID=1136#2.5._Terorismus,
