Tuire Kaimio

I am Tuire Kaimio, an animal and film business entrepreneur living in Vantaa, non-fiction author and county and city councilor. My main profession is training animals for movies. In addition, I work with animal and human welfare projects and as a teacher.

For me, the preservation of life on Earth is a value I will not compromise on. Deforestation and climate change must be stopped if we want to survive as humanity. I have an equally uncompromising attitude towards justice, equality and, above all, fairness between people. To me, fairness also means that when, for example, environmental measures are taken, the consequences must not be unreasonable for individual people.

Well-being for nature and for animals means well-being for everyone. Since animals cannot vote, I want to be their representative as well. We must have a better balance between the rights of animals and the rights of people to profit from animals.

Science and education are a bedrock. My current job relies on science and research. Likewise, I believe in basing my political decisions on scientific facts whenever possible. I demand the same of my fellow politicians.

A functioning society provides safety and justice for all. I will defend the rule of law everywhere.
