USA: Legal Complaint May Force Airlines To Ship Primates To Labs; Even If They Have Stopped Now. Take Action.

 

USA

For years, nearly every commercial airline has refused to fly monkeys and other animals to laboratories, where they would face torment and death.

Now, a trade group representing animal experimenters that defends all experiments on animals, no matter how cruel, has filed a legal complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation to force airlines to transport monkeys to laboratories.

If they’re successful, airlines will be legally compelled to ship tens of thousands of monkeys from China and other countries to U.S laboratories where they’d be caged alone, poisoned, cut into, kept thirsty to coerce them to obey, and eventually killed.

 

Please take action right now by leaving polite comments stating that you want airlines to be able to make their own policy decisions and that monkeys should never be torn from their families, shoved into tiny wooden boxes, stuffed into the dark and terrifying cargo holds of commercial airplanes, and flown thousands of miles to certain suffering and death in laboratories

USA: Breaking – Yellowstone Grizzly Bears Have Protection Restored – Trophy Hunts In Wyoming and Idaho Now Crushed. Great News.

Hi Mark,

I’m thrilled to deliver this news: Just minutes ago a federal judge ruled in our favor to restore protection to Yellowstone grizzly bears.

That means that the trophy hunts planned for Wyoming and Idaho, set to begin this fall, cannot move ahead.

It’s a massive win for wildlife, and I’m so proud that the Center — and you — helped make it happen. Thank you for supporting this incredible fight.

There’s been so much at stake in this campaign. Wyoming and Idaho wanted to let more than 20 Yellowstone grizzlies be gunned down by trophy hunters if they left the protective confines of the national park. More than half of them could’ve been female bears.

But the future of Yellowstone grizzlies was also hanging in the balance. The Trump administration removed Endangered Species Act protection from these bears in the summer of 2017. We knew it was premature and that the bears have yet to fully recover. So we sued — and we’re glad the judge saw it that way too.

This fight likely isn’t over. We fully expect the Trump administration to appeal this decision, and we’ll be ready. This is exactly why we set up the Predator Defense Fund, and we’re grateful for every ounce of support we get.

I hope you’ll join us in celebrating this victory today. We’ll rest easier knowing Yellowstone’s bears won’t be gunned down anytime soon.

But I hope you’ll also stay with us for the long haul. These are difficult, time-consuming battles that we have to win. We know the enemies of bears and other wildlife won’t slow down. And neither will we.

Thanks again for your continued support.

For the bears,

Kierán Suckling

P.S. The best way to help us fight for bears and other wildlife is to become a sustaining member.

Romania: 291 Cats and Dogs Sterilised Free Of ChargeTo Reduce Animal Stray Population. Serbia ? – Take Note.

German –  291 Tiere wurden bei einer Kampagne in Mioveni sterilisiert

Um die Situation der Streunertiere, die durch Besitzertiere verursacht wird, in angemessener Weise zu lösen, ist die korrekte Information über den Vorteil von Sterilisation und die gesetzlichen Vorschriften sehr wichtig. Information über verantwortliche Sterilisation ist der Anfang für erfolgreiche Kastration, der dann als Nächstes mit kostenlosen Sterilisations-Programmen  erweitert werden muss, da die finanziellen Möglichkeiten von den Besitzern sehr beschränkt sind, besonders in ländlichen Gegenden.

Die Stadtverwaltung von Mioveni hat das alles sehr gut verstanden, und SEdC Mioveni öffnete die Türen für die Ausführung eines Sterilisations-Programms, das die Adoption von Shelter-Hunden ermöglicht und bessere Lebensbedingungen für die 400 Hunde, die momentan in dem Shelter leben, gewährleistet.

In Zusammenarbeit mit der Stadtverwaltung von Mioveni organisierten wir vom 3. bis zum 8. September die erste kostenlose Sterilisierungs-Kampagne in Miovenis öffentlichem Shelter. Im Ganzen wurden 291 Tiere kastriert, 124 Hunde aus dem öffentlichen Shelter und 167 Hunde und Katzen mit privaten Besitzern.

Die Sterilisations-Aktion wurde finanziell von „Helft Handeln“ aus Deutschland unterstützt, der NGO, mit der wir schon seit mehreren Jahren den Tieren in Rumänien und ihren Besitzern geholfen haben. Zusammen mit der österreichischen „Salzburger Initiative 50+“, die auch stark an Sterisierungs-Projekten beteiligt ist, werden wir weiterhin bei dem öffentlichen Shelter in Mioveni tätig sein. „Helft Handeln“ war nicht nur finanziell, sondern auch persönlich an den Shelter-Aktionen beteiligt und organisierte den Transport von Tieren, deren Besitzer keine Möglichkeit hatten, zum Ort der Sterilisations-Kampagne zu kommen.

In einem öffentlichen Shelter muss Vieles neben der Sterilisation unternommen werden. Deswegen wurden Hunde mit medizinischen Problemen behandelt und operiert, und Welpen wurden entwurmt und geimpft.

SEdC Mioveni gewährleistete eine vorbildliche Zusammenarbeit nicht nur durch die Teamarbeit mit uns, sondern auch wegen der prompten Einführung von Verbesserungen für die Lage der Hunde im Asyl, die wir mit ihnen besprochen hatten.

Ausserdem haben die Stadtverwaltung und SEdC von Mioveni mit einer Aktion begonnen: „Das Shelter ist kein Zuhause“. In Zusammenarbeit mit National Federation for Animal Protection (FNPA) werden die Stadtbehörden ihren ersten  „Adoptions-Tag“ in einem Park vor dem öffentlichen Shelter durchführen, bei dem auch kreative Unterhaltung für Kinder angeboten wird. Wir bitten Alle, die sich ein Haustier anschaffen wollen, zu adoptieren und nicht zu kaufen! Die Dankbarkeit und Erfüllung, die durch eine Adoption gewährt wird, kann niemals bei einem Verkäufer gefunden werden.

Appropriate information on the benefits of animal sterilization and the requirements of the law is paramount in solving the situation of stray animals that is generated by the owned animals. Information in responsible way is the basis, the start, in sterilization programs, and then supplemented with free sterilization programs because the financial possibilities of the owners, especially those from rural areas, are very low.

All these have been understood by the Mioveni City Hall and the SEdC Mioveni that have opened their doors to the implementation of a sterilization program, promoting the adoptions of shelter dogs, collaborating in order to provide better conditions for the 400 dogs that is currently in shelter.

Romster7

Within the partnership that we will develop with the Mioveni City Hall, we organized the first free sterilization campaign in the public shelter of the Mioveni City Hall, on 3-8 September. 291 animals -124 dogs from the public shelter, and 167 dogs and cats with owner were sterilized by our collaborator vets.

The campaign for sterilization was financially supported by “Helft Handeln”, from Germany, the organization with whom we have been working for several years in support of animals in Romania and their owners and who. Together with Salzburger Initiative 50+ from Austria, also deep involved in sterilisation campaign, will be constantly involved in the Mioveni public shelter. “Helft Handeln” has not only been involved financially but also practically through effective participation in shelter actions as well as by ensuring the transport of animals of the owners who did not have transport facilities, to the site, for sterilization.

A public shelter involves many requirements, which is why our activity in the shelter during the campaign was not just sterilization, but also the treatment and operation of dogs with medical problems, deworming and vaccination of puppies.

Romster10.jpg

SEdC Mioveni has proved an exemplary collaboration not only through team work we have done, but also through the quick start of some of the works we have discussed in order to improve the conditions of dog shelter.

Moreover, Mioveni City Hall and SEdC have launched the campaign “The shelter is not home”. Within this campaign, in partnership with National Federation for Animal Protection (FNPA), the local authorities  organize the first “adoption day”, in a park, outside the public shelter Mioveni, as well as creative themes for children. We urge anyone who wants a pet, to adopt and not buy! Gratitude and the satisfaction of adopting an animal from a shelter are feelings which can not be found in any trader’s location.

England: Police Now Threaten Animal Saviours With Flying Drones To Monitor Their Legal Activities.

Police consider drones to monitor badger cull protesters

Devon and Cornwall police warn activists as cull zone is massively expanded

Police have warned badger cull protesters that they may use drones to try to keep order in the far south-west of England following heightened tensions between activists and officers.

In an email to protesters seen by the Guardian, a Devon and Cornwall officer said the force would consider using drones “where intelligence dictates”.

The force said it was considering drones because of a spike in crimes in some areas within cull zones but protesters insisted the move would not stop them from trying to prevent badgers being killed.

The cull in England has been hugely expanded into 10 new areas, with up to 42,000 animals now due to be shot in an attempt to curb tuberculosis in cattle, up from 32,500 last year.

The cull zones now cover vast swathes of many counties, including 68% of Devon and 54% of Cornwall.

The increase is adding to pressure on police forces in these areas. In the email to the protester, the officer wrote: “I have been asked to let you know – and that you forward as you believe necessary – that a decision has been made that where intelligence dictates police will consider the deployment of drones.”

Tax for “Irresponsible Breeders”!

 

USA

 

A democrat congressional candidate in Pennsylvania has desires to tax parents who have more than two children as “irresponsible breeders.”  Scott Wallace is a population control zealot who has donated over $7 million to population control groups.

Wallace is also supported and endorsed by both Planned Parenthood and NOW (National Organization for Women). According to The Daily Wire, Wallace, a millionaire and democrat who believes in taxing families with more than two kids for being privileged, also believes that the tax would be on “the privilege of irresponsible breeding.”

Between 1997 and 2003, Wallace gave $420,000 to Zero Population Growth (ZPG) — now Population Connection — an organization co-founded by “Population Bomb” author Paul Ehrlich, Fox News reported.From before its inception, ZPG had announced its intentions to tax large families for the “privilege of irresponsible breeding.” A 1968 brochure advocated abortion to stabilize population growth and claimed that “no responsible family should have more than two children.” Therefore, “irresponsible people who have more than two children should be taxed to the hilt for the privilege of irresponsible breeding.” –PJ Media

Wallace’s fund (Wallace Global Fund) also gave $20,000 to the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE) in 2010. CASSE is an environmentalist group that sees economic growth as undesirable. The group supports an economy with “stable or mildly fluctuating levels” and a society with equal birth and death rates. CASSE calls this stagnant state of affairs “maturing.” CASSE still supports zero population growth and executive board member Herman Daly has pushed for reproduction licenses (permission from the government to have children). This bureaucratic control over birth would allow women to have only two children unless they buy the license for more children from other women who do not reproduce. Daly called this program the “best plan yet offered” to limit population growth. If you’ve ever wondered how close we are to totalitarianism, you no longer have to.

It’s right around the corner. Abortion and population control movements can be traced back to the horrific racism of the early eugenics movement, where activists like Margaret Sanger called for more babies for the “fit” and less for the “unfit.”

Belgium: Care Home For Ageing Animals. Can We Suggest Another Near Brussels For Useless EU Politicians ?

WAV Comment – Oh if only there was a ‘retirement’ home far away for all the useless politicians who live in EU Brussels, Belgium.  Can we suggest Junker and Tusk lead the way.  A kind of Fletcher memorial home:

In southern Belgium there is a care home that accommodates 150 aging animals, living out their final days in peace.

The home is run by Valerie Luycx, below, and is called Les Petits Vieux (The Little Old Ones).

Belg home1.png

The animal shelter, located in rural Chievres in the province of Hainaut in the south of Belgium, is home to Pastis the pot-bellied pig, below, along with a number of elderly cats, dogs, ponies and goats, photographed here by Yves Herman from Reuters.

All the animals either have health problems or have been given up because their owners were too old to care for them.

Residents include Azuria, a 15-year-old European cat (below left), and Ramses, a nine-year-old Carlin dog.

Valerie founded the shelter in 2000 with her husband Serge. She said: “We wanted to recreate family life for the animals.”

On the left here is Choupy, a 14-year-old Yorkshire Terrier.

Well done Valerie – it looks beautiful.
