Solidarity with the living

11/21/2022

"As far as the threat of extinction at the level of species is concerned, we are, it is claimed, all concerned equally. This is where a call for human solidarity begins to sound and feel like a cynical denial of historical and political contingency and difference."

Another year over and what have 'we' done? The world is burning, civil wars raging, the majority of humans and most nonhuman animals on this planet suffering and continuing to experience the effects of rampant capitalism.

 It has been estimated (in 2019) that between 0.79 and 2.3 trillion fish (i.e. 790,000,000,000 to 2,300,000,000,000) were caught from the wild globally each year for 2007-2016.

For every fish pulled out, human beings throw in 5 grammes of plastic; i.e. 11.5 trillion grammes or more than 11 million tons per year.

​Justin Hofman's award-winning picture captures this sad situation very well.

​Such pictures create a sensibility for the vulnerable state of fish and other sea creatures. It fosters the kind of empathy the edutainment of the Oceanium can never achieve.

​Hopefully the citizens of Basel reject the project on 19 May! If you are a Basler-Städter/in: 
​please vote NO!

​Update:
yes, it was a
NO! :-)

    About

    My blog "For Life's Sake!" is about creating awareness and acceptance that human and nonhuman beings and things are inextricably connected, which hopefully energizes an ethics and cosmopolitics  that sustains forms of community and co-habitation based on empathy and response-ability towards precarious lives.
