England: New Month, New Map.

Well it is the 1st of May today; so our Clustrmap, showing our worldwide visitors, https://clustrmaps.com/site/1a9kn has started afresh in showing locations.

As the month progresses, so will our visitor ‘red dots’ which shows their basic location in the world.

By clicking on the above link you will be taken to our new map, and see the national flag of each visitor.

Animal abuse is very hard on all involved; but we try to look forward to working with others to make this (currently very disturbed world) a better place for all; so we try to live forward looking, and don’t look back in anger.

Coming Soon – the Story of Tiger Trapa and The Ex Dancing Bears.

Coming Soon – the Story of Tiger Trapa and the ex Dancing Bears.

Back in 2005 I was heavily involved in starting an organisation which focused on the Stray (Street) Dogs and Cats of Serbia.  I set up SAV as a platform for them to get a voice – you can still visit it now at https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/ to see all the work we were involved with as well as our ‘fights for strays’ with the Serbian government.

It was here that Diana first made contact with me; and as well as fighting for strays in Serbia, we decided to take on the challenge of fighting the hunt(ers) in Germany; exposing their underbellies and how hunter killed wildlife was being disposed of. 

Diana still works with me and together we have produced a lot of info and data on the dark web system that operates out of China regarding cat torture and killings.

During SAV operations relating to Serbia, I made many wonderful friends involved with helping animals.  Two of them are Branka and Pavel; who are devoted to rescuing dancing bears; and providing sanctuary; as well as their story relating to the rescue of Tiger Trapa; which at the start was a very young Tiger being used by a Circus for photographs  After just a few months the baby tiger had grown large and so the Circus Director decided there was no way he needed the animal; and so it could be destroyed.

This is where friends Braka and Pavel immediately stepped in to rescue the young tiger from certain death.

So, there are several stories to tell here; and over the last month or so I have been communicating with Branka and Pavel to do a lot more about Tiger Trapa and the ex dancing bears rescues.  We are still working together to ‘make stories’ of these issues which we hope you will enjoy reading about in the near future.

In the meantime here a few photographs and a video link relating to the rescue of such beautiful animals by such very good people.

More to come soon;

Regards Mark

England: The ‘Stray’ Ones Are NOT The Dogs, But The Leaders.

“The ‘stray’ ones are not the dogs, but the leaders who have burdened Turkey for years, polarizing society with hate politics; those who turn killing and rape into a country’s culture. Enough is enough! We will not vote for politicians who make our friends enemies, who undermine the culture of living together by promising to lock them in death camps under the name of ‘natural habitat.’ We will not bow to regressive and fascist hostility policies. Living is a right. We will not submit to the reactionary and fascist hostility policies. Living is a right. Freedom for animals, humans, and the earth!” (TY/VK)

SAV – In 2005 we formed ‘Serbian Animals Voice’ (SAV) to try and be vocal for the stray cats and dogs of Serbia.  The site is archived now, but is still open for anyone wishing to have a look at all our campaign work.

Global Call to Action: End Cat Abuse in China Now 

Cat abuse is a serious issue in China that requires urgent attention. Since the “Cat in Blender” incident, Telegram communities that deliberately torture animals for fun have been operating “legally” within China, evading justice and promoting young people to harm animals.

The absence of effective measures and prolonged inaction by the authorities have allowed cat abuse to become rampant, to the extent that in recent days, stray cats in internet-face stations have been seen being abused on livestreams, causing shock and distress to animal lovers worldwide. This situation is unacceptable and must be stopped immediately!

Please join us for an X demo on Friday, February 23.

England: For Katie and Friends – All ‘Voices For Animals’ !

I had a really nice e mail this morning from Michelle; who told me about her daughter Katie who is working throughout the month of February with her friends to achieve their ‘Voices for Animals’ badge.

Michelle says – This is a senior badge that explores the connection between humans and animals so they can make informed choices and help others make them too. The badge requires the girls to investigate animals used for science, take a look at animals used for sports and entertainment and dive deeper into animal rights issues.

“Your web page had all of the information we were looking for, so Katie requested I reach out and let you know how much you’ve helped us!”

Well we try to help; and it sounds like some of our posts have helped with your research – great !

Something lighter:

London: If You Are Feeling Down, For God’s Sake Come Along Here On A Saturday Morning. – World Animals Voice

Katie has found a great vegan clothing site which we are giving the link to here – A Guide To Vegan and Cruelty Free Clothes & Fashion – Lulus.com Fashion Blog  – also a really great site which covers, apart from some great clothing; many aspects of veganism and why people follow it.

Katie has also asked that we include the old WAV link relating to beauty shopping – so here it is –  From George – A Guide Link To Cruelty Free Beauty Shopping. – World Animals Voice

Katie’s troop meet on Fridays after school; so in accordance with the request, I am putting this out days in advance.

Well done everyone in the troop for speaking up for the animals – they cannot speak to defend themselves, and so we have to be a voice for them all.  I am sure you will all get your badge and pass with flying colours !

Regards Mark – Founder WAV.

PS – in the past we did a lot of work regarding Serbian stray dogs and cats.  Here is the main link:  Serbian Animals Voice (SAV) | a voice for the voiceless

One section of the site was dedicated to providing links to many animal welfare organisations – Katie, this is old now but may still be of some help.

It was difficult, with many threats from the Serbian government. But, if you believe you are right then you stick with. What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

As a result of continuous “questioning” on the issue; they are now threatening to close the shelter “Alex” as some kind of revenge..

This is not going to stop us – we eagerly await a response from the EU which should definitely give us confirmation that export consignments took place.

Was our persistence a waste of time ? – we think not.
But the very worrying aspect of this is the threats made to welfare groups by the Serbian Ministry when outsiders question them or anything they do – a shelter could have now been closed and animals back on the street to be killed by shinters and authorities.
