De mens neemt alle ruimte op aarde in, steeds meer dieren worden gefokt in kooien en leven alleen om door de mens opgegeten te worden.

Meer dan 300 miljoen landbouwhuisdieren in de EU brengen hun hele leven door in een kooi. De coronavirus pandemie met als gevolg de wereldwijde blokkade hebben laten zien hoe kwetsbaar de samenleving eigenlijk is.

When it comes to The West Memphis 3, depending on which side of the argument you stand, you can find evidence both for and against whichever person you are gunning for and I find that horrifying and interesting in equal measure.Many of the supporters based their opinions on what they learned watching one of the three HBO Documentaries in the Paradise Lost trilogy.This book will take you through the numerous scenarios and countless suspects from that moonlit night in West Memphis Arkansas in May 1993.We will look at the evidence that points to the West Memphis 3 as the killers but also at the evidence that points to numerous other suspects.Moreover, it has to be said, the result (in my mind) would be that the West Memphis 3 are either guilty of one of Arkansas deadliest murders or the main players in a truly unbelievable series of coincidences and lies to protect Terry Hobbs, Buddy Lucas, L.G. Hollingsworth and David Jacoby.We will sort out the fact from fiction and find out what really happened "Beyond Robin Hood Hills".
