Tereza at Czech Animal Freedom - Volunteer's Day 5th Dec

One of the building blocks for the successful functioning of the organization is to help volunteer because volunteering and Animal Freedom go hand in hand for 22 years.

Without people who have decided to invest their energy and spare time to animal protection, we would not have even a fraction of what we have successfully behind.

Each year, 5. 12. commemorate International Volunteer Day, so we would like, on behalf of the entire Liberty animals to thank all our volunteers for helping them work for our organization absolutely crucial!

A large part of any success belongs to the volunteers who help us in the fight for animal rights help. Thank you very thankful for it, and we appreciate your help!

If you like to volunteer work, get inspired by the story of one of our volunteers and fill out the form or email us at dobrovolnici@svobodazvirat.cz .

Tereza | Cologne | 19 years | Why I volunteer Freedom for Animals?

I remember exactly the day when I woke up with the feeling that I have to somehow start repaying his debt to society, animals and nature. Later that day, I started looking on the internet various nonprofit organizations where I could be involved as a volunteer. Animal Freedom impressed me at first sight and after reading about the entire years of functioning of the organization, I decided to contact Freedom.

First I helped distribute promotional materials and collecting signatures on petitions, but I soon began to participate in collective action. Helping Animal Freedom me very fun and fills you with positive energy. Not only that, thanks to this activity every day to meet many wonderful and active people, but I also feel that changes are happening and have it all make sense.

Erik Best: Kellner and Babiš factions in Chinese shadows

Babiš vs. Kellner

By far the most significant of the 30 people receiving honors on Fri. from Miloš Zeman was Štěpán Popovič, a former high-ranking Communist who funded Petr Kellner in the early days of velvet capitalism. Whatever the current status of relations between Zeman and Kellner because of the president's fleeting predilection for Jaroslav Tvrdík's competing group of Chinese-backed Czech entrepreneurs, Zeman knows which side his bread is buttered on. Kellner's PPF was in China (and Russia) long before Tvrdík or Martin Roman had ever even heard about the OECD bank-reporting rules that made them scramble to find a frontman like CEFC for their Czech investments. One of Andrej Babiš's goals in joining forces with Daniel Herman is to block the campaign funds to ČSSD that make these circular investments possible. If he hurts Kellner's business in China in the process, so much the better. After all, there's only room for one No. 1.

Czechs think Zeman is bowing down "excessively"

Majority of Czechs think declaration reassuring China was excessive

30-10-2016 10:09 | Daniela Lazarová

The majority of Czechs think the declaration on Czech-Chinese relations issued by the country’s key officials during a visit by the Dalai Lama was excessive and uncalled for, according to an outcome of a survey conducted by the polling agency Nielsen Admosphere for Czech Television. Forty-two percent of respondents said the declaration was excessive, while 11 percent described it as unusual, but necessary. Twenty percent of respondents consider it standard procedure, while four percent said it did not go far enough. The declaration signed by the president, prime minister and the heads of both chambers of Parliament said the Czech Republic fully respected China’s territorial integrity and emphasized that the Tibetan spiritual leader’s presence in the Czech Republic did not signal a change in the country’s foreign policy in relations with China. In a related poll, 69 percent of respondents said the Czech culture minister was fully entitled to meet with the Dalai Lama even if it angered China, 17 percent said the meeting should not have taken place.

Saving face? Centre-right parties want special session over “submissive” proclamation to China

Centre-right parties want special session over “submissive” proclamation to China

29-10-2016 18:15 | Daniela Lazarová

The center-right opposition parties TOP 09 and the Civic Democrats say they will call for a special session of the lower house of Parliament to debate the recent joint proclamation of leading Czech officials to reassure China of the Czech Republic’s continued interest in developing close ties with the country and saying the Czech Republic fully respects China’s territorial integrity. The proclamation came in connection with a visit to Prague by the Dalai Lama and his meeting with Culture Minister Daniel Herman. Opposition parties and the Christian Democrats of the ruling coalition have criticized the proclamation for its submissive tone saying that it degraded the Czech Republic and was a throw-back to the communist days. Right-wing senators have called on the chamber’s speaker Milan Stěch, who is running for re-election, to distance himself from the proclamation he signed or forego their support.

Actors versus Zeman: Protests gathering momentum

Leading cultural figures have called on the public to take part in protest gatherings in support of democracy. In a proclamation issued on the occasion of Czechoslovak Independence Day, several dozen actors, singers and writers criticized the president and government for its "submissive foreign policy" in relation to China saying that the country’s leaders do not have a mandate to turn the helm of the country eastward. They urge the head of state to stop spreading lies and apologize for his behavior. The signatories include the president of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Jiří Bartoška, singer Vojtěch Dyk, head of the drama ensemble at the National Theatre, Michal Dočekal, and journalist Karel Steigerwald, among others.
