India, Delhi: Home Needed for Abandoned Pup – Can You Help Please ?

Posted on October 13, 2008 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
Dear friends,
 
Please see pictures of a pup which is being abandoned by a retired senior IPS officer, who has suddenly lost his love for this dog, once he discovered that the pup is an Indian mix.
 
The pup was always in his home, so is perfectly healthy and is around 5-6 months old.
Male.
The pup is available in Dwarka, Delhi. I am the contact person ( +91 9868881566 ).
This is an exceptional pup and very very playful…so i hope he finds a good home immediately.
Please see his pics at the following link :
 
 
thanks
Rishi Dev

Denmark Disgraces the World With Faroe Islands Whale Slaughter

Posted on October 13, 2008 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Please check out the excellent Wikipedia site about the Faroe Islands Whale Slaughter:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whaling_in_the_Faroe_Islands

Whaling in the Faroe Islands has been practised since at least the tenth century. It is regulated by Faroese authorities but not by the International Whaling Commission as there are disagreements about the Commission’s competency for small cetaceans. Around 950 Long-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala melaena) are killed annually, mainly during the summer. The hunts, called “grindadráp” in Faroese, are non-commercial and are organised on a community level; anyone can participate. The hunters first surround the pilot whales with a wide semi-circle of boats. The boats then drive the pilot whales slowly into a bay or to the bottom of a fjord.

Most Faroese consider the hunt an important part of their culture and history. Animal-rights groups criticize the hunt as being cruel and unnecessary, while the hunters claim in return that most journalists do not exhibit sufficient knowledge of the catch methods or its economic significance.

Governor Palin’s Department of Fish and Game Round Up 14 Orphaned Wolf Cubs and Shoot Each One in the Head – A Violation of State Law

Posted on October 11, 2008 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

A message from Mr. Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

When you promote a grotesque program like Governor Sarah Palin’s Alaska wolf slaughter, you can expect gruesome results.
A startling example: In June, after gunning down 14 adult wolves from a helicopter, officials from Governor Palin’s Department of Fish and Game rounded up 14 orphaned wolf pups and methodically shot each one in the head in clear violation of a state law.[1]

 

This is a story that needs to be told. Please watch our new video on Palin’s wolf killing record and share it with every animal lover you know.

 

 

Warning: This video contains the disturbing truth about Governor Palin’s out-of-control wolf killing efforts.

State law prohibits the targeting of pups — a practice known as denning. Maybe that’s why Palin’s officials tried to cover it up, making no mention of the brutal pup executions in the state’s June 30th press release on the killings.[2] To date, none of the officials involved in the incident has been held accountable.Governor Palin could be just a heartbeat from the presidency.
Do we want a vice president who champions savagery towards animals?

USA: Brigitte Bardot (Foundation) Speaks for People and Sends a Clear Message to Governor Palin

Posted on October 8, 2008 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Brigitte Bardot has this week delivered a brilliant and superbly strong, short and clear message to Governor Palin on the issues of aerial wolf hunting, the environment and Polar bears / endangered species lists.

 

In her message with devastating blows, Brigitte sums up the feelings to Governor Palin that all animal welfare and environmentally aware people across the World have.

In her closing sentence, Brigitte simply declares:

 

“I hope that you lose this election, because then the whole world will win !”

 

Bravo to the Fondation Brigitte Bardot for being the voice of caring environmental people across the planet who will endorse every single word.

 

 

 

The letter from Brigitte is as follows:

 

 

 

 

Paris, 7 Octobre 2008
Madame Sarah Palin
Gouverneur d’Alaska
P.O. Box 110001
Juneau, AK 99811-0001
USA

Governor,

More than two years ago, I contacted your predecessor to denounce the
cruelty of aerial wolf hunting. Today I am shocked to learn that you firmly support this cowardly practice, both morally and financially.

Your fight to keep polar bears off the Endangered Species list even though they are threatened by global warming demonstrates your total
irresponsibility, your inability to protect or even respect animal life, but
it’s true that for you, a good animal is a dead one!

By campaigning for drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge,
you are putting an already fragile habitat at risk, as well as all the
biodiversity of a sensitive area that must absolutely be preserved.

Governor, by denying man’s responsibility for global warming, by being a proponent of the right to bear arms and shoot anything that moves, by making numerous declarations of alarming stupidity, you bring shame upon women and represent, all on your own, a terrible threat, a true ecological catastrophe.

Defending life means showing compassion for all the beings that populate this ailing earth. Since we are only on this earth for a short time, think of what you are leaving behind for future generations. ..

To finish, I beg you to no longer refer to yourself as a ‘pit bull with
lipstick’, since I can assure you that no pit bull, no dog, nor any other
animal is as dangerous as you.

In the name of the respect and preservation of nature, I hope that you lose this election, because then the whole world will win!

Brigitte Bardot
President

JUSTICE for SHEPP by Annmarra

Shepp was a dog that was left for well over a month, to die with no food or water and chained to the extent that his collar was embedded in his skin. No one cared. The neighbors saw him suffering, yet nobody did anything until it was too late. Someone had placed food by him, but by then he was too weak to even get up. Someone contacted (KZTV) a news station that stands up for people and animals alike.

 

Shepp was taken to animal control were he was cared for by the vets and staff there, I know for a fact, for I was able to see him from behind the glass on Friday afternoon. The tech, vets and staff that were there with him, treating him with such compassion and care. Shepp passed away later that afternoon, which was devastating to the vets and staff.

 
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION –
 
 
Thank you & best wishes,
Maria & Paul xx

C4SAIN@gmail.com  in Cc: so we can show to media that everyone has wrote- just if municipality Cukarica ” plays deaf ”
Thanks.)
SAMPLE LETTER:

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing this letter to express my concerns for Animals that are held against their will in the International Circus Moscow-which is now a guest of Belgrade City. All Wild animals that are part of this Circus are in bad shape and piled up in small cages.
They are mistreated and abused.

Cages and circus near environment (fences, tribines.. ) are NOT secured from animal escape excesses,
Circus do not posses Documents about Animals (origin, trade documents /circuses & zoos trade animals/ passports, history..)
Circus travel around and can carry many diseases- trough their route they leave ugly scenes of urine puddles and feces piles which then spread in grass-anyone can pick it up… /.

Circus do not posses Veterinarian approvals regarding animal’s proper living conditions/ that they have proper shelter, food and fresh water source;
Animals in this circus dont have overall good psychophysical state.
I am aware of fact that Permit for putting out the (circus) tents and use the communal areas and communal green areas must be given from different communal services
(legal permits can’t be issued for communal areas renting under 5 years- then how this circus gets “permits” every time for a different location? );
all sanitary conditions has NOT been meet before Circus could obtain this permit to use communal areas for wild and domesticated animals, sanitary and water conditions has NOT been meet either.

Sanitary and health related issues:
All forms of animal “liquid waste”/ CAN NOT be mixed with human waste disposals /circus must be attached to the local sanitary plumbing system- separately- water and waste-in-out system/
All garbage must be divided (animal and human “hard waste” can not be dumped together, Circus can not use local dump boxes nor garbage cans for large and hard waste- for that purpose Circus have to rent special hard waste container from city…etc. )
– CIRCUS Corrona/Moscow/ touring trough Serbia HAD NOT MEET ANY OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
I want to appeal to your position and ask of you to ban those Circuses with live performing animals, circuses with mini zoos and those who use animals in “entertainment”.
I would like to point out that any circus with Animals is cruel.

The animals may be confined for hours, even days, in their travelling cages.
The trainers use different training methods that are considered very inhumane. Whips, spikes, hotshots and electric shock devices are used to get the animals to do tricks that are unnatural for the animals. Further to that, a circus with Animals is also considered dangerous for the public.
*as an examples I will give You data which can be found in newspapers and on internet)Between 1990 and 1999, there have been 47 persons who have died as a result of wild animal attacks. In Argentina, there are many such examples as the one from San Pedro, Province of Buenos Aires, where two lions escaped where they hurt and killed some people. In April 21, 2004, in Laferrere, a tiger escaped from the Romanian Circus killing one worker. In August 2005, a bear from the Coronel Dorrego traveling circus, attacked a 10 year old girl who got too close to his cage. The bear bit her and two of her fingers had to be amputated later.

It is shameful that the Belgrade City allows the Moscow Circus to perform with animals. Allowing this circus, or any other circus, to perform with animals is against the Animal Protection Law enforced in your country ( Article .269 of criminal law of Serbia- protects animals and prevent abuse in form of penalty which goes up to 3 years of prison for animal kill or abuse ).

I ask respectfully that the authorities of Belgrade become part of the group of cities in this European region that have banned the use of animals in circuses, like Croatia , Slovenia did several years ago, Hungary as of 2007..

We have moral responsibilities to all animals. Allowing a circus to perform with animals is allowing and promoting cruelty to animals. Please do not let this happen. The brutal and inhumane treatment of animals behind closed doors MUST be stopped once for all.

 

 

Sincerely,

(Your name&info)

 

Please do not give any more approvals for this Circus to become the guest of Belgrade City, this CIRCUS is cruel and is not a humane and interactive way to have fun, which children crave for, there are so many different options for kids to have fun, to get into interactive games and trough those games, tomorrow to grow up into humane being, worthy to be called citizen of Belgrade.

Concerned citizens have been asking organizations for animal protection to put a stop to the suffering of those animals, but organizations are not those who can help this time.
