Translation –
These two adorable little girls are looking for a home; they have about 3 months more powerful than interior parasites.
Please, help them survive!
Today our hearts are breaking as five of our precious tiny little lives are on the line. Our dear Ruma kill shelter rescue, Rosie and puppies found thrown away in a paper bag are infected with parvo. Rosie has developed a new, strong variant form of the virus, despite being vaccinated and revaccinated!
Two of the babies stood no chance against the vicious virus form, but FOUR ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES!!!
Four tiny sweet, gentle, loving little souls, perfect little babies, with so much to live for, such a will to fight, to survive despite the loss of their beautiful siblings. And Rosie, a kill shelter survivor!
They are so afraid of what they are going through. Their cries torture our minds every day they suffer. They need continued hyper immune serums, every single day. Without these, they absolutely will die. It’s the only thing keeping them alive right now. They needs Vit C shots, they need IV fluids into their frail systems, they need diapers for the constant faecal stream out of their twisted, pained, tortured little bodies and also antibiotics. This cocktail of drugs really is the only way to ensure they live.
We are providing them the very best care, but the truth is we are drowning in debts. We are unable to pay for any of these expensive treatments and the risk we are taking is not having a vet for the rest of 90 dogs we have under our care. But how could we ever not give them this chance?

PETITION TARGET: Armagh County Police Service
A tiny, helpless, four-week-old puppy was found in County Armagh, Northern Ireland tied up in a plastic bag and thrown onto the side of the road like trash.
Two youngsters discovered the puppy when they heard feeble cries coming from the bushes along the roadside in the village of Bessbrook.
Dogs Reportedly Hung From Tree and Beaten to Death Deserve Justice
Two dogs were apparently tortured and beaten to death in a sad case of animal cruelty. Video footage reportedly shows two men dragging the dogs with a rope and hanging them from a tree, where the dogs were then apparently cut with pruning shears and beaten to death with sticks. Demand justice for these poor animals.

The New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS) has released shocking new findings on the exploitation of primates in animal testing in the US, revealing that the number used in medical research has hit a record high.
Looking deeper into these figures, NEAVS found that the number of primates used in testing has increased by 15 percent, while the number of people who oppose animal testing has risen by 13 percent.
“Polls consistently show that a clear majority of Americans oppose cruel medical testing on primates,” Mike Ryan, director of policy and government affairs at NEAVS told Lady Freethinker. “It’s stunning to learn that the number of primates being caged in isolation and forced into painful tests has never been higher.”
Obviously, public opinion is not a concern worth noting for those who conduct the tests. The National Institute of Health (NIH) continues to fund animal experiments at increasing levels in spite of the fact that so many Americans oppose the practice.
The most commonly used monkeys in research include macaques, squirrel monkeys, baboons, and capuchins; these animals are used in both biomedical and behavioral research.
Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shut down a study that looked into nicotine addiction after four squirrel monkeys died as a result of the experiment. Following this incident, FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb began an investigation of all FDA programs that use animals.
The NIH claims to be committed to investigate ways in which animal testing can be “replaced, reduced and refined,” but these shocking figures show a contrasting trend.
“Two numbers have never been higher: The percentage of Americans that oppose primate testing, and the number of primates suffering in tests in the U.S,” says Ryan. “It’s time for NIH to make good on its promise to Congress that they’re sincerely trying to “reduce, replace, and refine” this cruel work.”
His bitch is too old to go herself.
That’s why he drives her every day in a wheelchair for everything necessary…
My best regards to all, Venus

SIGN: Fire Forest Ranger who Tied ‘Trophy Wolf’ to Vehicle for All to See

PETITION TARGETS: The Professional Association of Agents of the Natural Environment of the Principality of Asturias (AGUMNPA) & Spanish Ambassador Santiago Cabanas Ansorena
This ranger is responsible for protecting the safety of wildlife — instead, they chose to murder an innocent animal and parade the body around as a humiliating insult.
Juan Lopez de Uralde, deputy for the Alava-based Podemos party, shared the photo, criticizing the cruel act and spreading awareness about animal abuse in his principality. He claims that the wolf was killed last Tuesday, then callously tied to the ranger’s vehicle.
Lax oversight in the region has led to a lack of protocol and guidelines when it comes to monitoring animal rights. While it is unfortunately legal to kill wolves in some areas of Asturias, this despicable act took this liberty too far.
Yok Don national park has stopped offering elephant rides and now encourages travellers to see elephants in their natural habitat.
Amid growing global condemnation of elephant riding as a tourist activity, Yok Don national park in southern Vietnam has ended the practice and replaced it with the first ethical elephant experience of its kind in the country.
The formally captive group of four elephants were released from their chains earlier this month and no longer carry tourists on rides through the park. Visitors can instead observe the animals roaming freely in their natural habitat.
Previously, the Yok Don elephants, like many around the country, were chained up for extended periods of time, often without access to water. They were harnessed with heavy riding baskets, sometimes carrying tourists around the park for nine hours a day.
Senate passes bill that would ban whale, dolphin captivity in Canada
After a multi-year legislative battle, a bill to outlaw keeping cetaceans like whales and dolphins in captivity has cleared the Senate — all but ensuring the end of a once-popular theme park attraction in Canada.
S-203 — first introduced by now-retired Liberal senator Wilfred Moore in December 2015, with the backing of Green Party Leader Elizabeth May — would ban keeping and breeding these marine mammals in captivity through amendments to the Criminal Code.
Fines of up to $200,000 could be imposed on parks flouting the law — a sum set deliberately high as a deterrent.
The bill finally cleared the Red Chamber Tuesday night after nearly three years of debate and study. It now will be shuttled through the House of Commons by May.
The bill has the support of MPs from across the political spectrum, including Liberal Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Conservative Michelle Rempel and New Democrat Fin Donnelly.
The bill’s passage in the upper house comes after years of advocacy work by animal welfare advocates, who have long argued that holding these highly intelligent creatures in concrete tanks is a cruel and perverse form of entertainment.
The fight for cetacean rights picked up considerable public support after the release of the 2013 documentary film Blackfish, which documented some of the perils involved in holding whales, dolphins and porpoises in parks like Sea World.
The Senate bill really has two targets in mind: the Vancouver Aquarium and Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ont.
The Vancouver Aquarium once defended holding these mammals in captivity on both scientific and educational grounds, but recently said it would no longer display whales or dolphins at its facility as protests over captivity have become a “distraction” for the business.
Marineland has been a vocal opponent of the Senate bill, saying it would devastate attendance — and threaten conservation efforts — at theme parks where these animals are on display. It has also said the bill threatens the seasonal employment of hundreds of local residents during the summer months.
Marineland’s owner, John Holer, testified at a Senate committee before his death last summer, asking senators to halt the bill. Today, Marineland issued a statement calling S-203 anti-science.
“Bill S-203 was not supported by the relevant ministries or the credible scientific community,” says the statement. “Sadly, it impairs legitimate scientific and research programs and is explicitly targeted to close Marineland.
“The bill and the debate around it (have) been highly emotional, lacking in fact-based or science-based analysis and mired in unnecessary conflict incited by radical animal rights groups from the United States.”

· All-party group calls for an end to ‘Senate games’ on three animal rights bills
The Senate bill would, through the breeding ban, phase out captivity over time. That means Marineland would still be able to keep its current stock of some 55 cetaceans even if the legislation is passed by the Commons.
The hope of many activists is that some or all of the marine mammals currently in captivity in Canada eventually would be moved to an open water seaside sanctuary in either B.C. or Nova Scotia.
The bill would also prohibit the importing of cetaceans, or their sperm, tissue cultures or embryos.
Holler had an ally in Conservative Manitoba Sen. Don Plett, who has steadfastly opposed the Senate bill. Plett continually sought to put off a vote through the creative use of some parliamentary procedure.
The Senate fisheries committee, of which Plett was a member, studied the bill for some eight months over 17 committee meetings with more than 30 witnesses — considerably more time than a Senate public bill typically spends under scrutiny at committee.
The Senate passed another animal welfare bill Tuesday: S-238, which will ban the import and export of shark fin products.
Conservative Nova Scotia Sen. Michael MacDonald, who tabled the bill, has said the practice has done vast damage to the world’s shark population — which has declined nearly 80 per cent over the last 50 years.
Canada is the world’s third largest importer of shark fins, surpassed only by mainland China and Hong Kong, where shark fin soup is a popular delicacy among the wealthy. In 2015 alone, Canada imported over 144,000 kilograms of shark fins.
“Tens of millions of sharks are left to die every year for nothing but the prestige associated with a bowl of shark fin soup,” MacDonald said.
That bill will now be sent to the Commons for further debate among MPs.
