Asunto: [aapn] Indonesia: Death sentence for Bali dogs – please help
Fecha: sábado, 14 marzo, 2009 11:57
Dear AAPN Members,
Apart from sending petitions from across the world to the Indonesian authorities , cannot the AAPN consider an online resolution , form a high level experienced spay/neuter team and rush to Bali or the Indonesian authorities and convince them with all the handin materials , expertise etc., It has to be one time within months programme to convince them.
By doing or trying such practical field practice AAPN would achieve the objective that have been seeking for and the money spent in this regard is well recognised.
If this is allowed to continue with them the reflection will be severe in other Asian countries like China, Korea, Singapore and others where the authorities will never be convinced with the ABC programme and is a setback to our activities.
If the AAPN team can achieve to convince and do the programme there , Bali can be taken as a project and the reflection positive achievement can be used for other countries. Please remember the Srilanka Tsunami team progress.
I was talking about India to do this kind of thing as India is ahuge rabies problem but we can do this in Bali now and showcase as it is smaller place than ours to prove the results quickly.
The situation in Bali is very discouraging to read and visualise an d is a great shame that it has to happen and continue to happen in a place where the AAPN had its latest meeting and moreso nullifying report an d glorification with the ONE DAY SPAY PROGRAMME.
I pray for the two dogs that were sterilised in the conference room and released immediately in the hotel area.
Kind regards,
Pradeep.

Death sentence for Bali dogs
Healthy dogs killed as a precaution against rabies and left to rot
in the street.
What tourists can expect to see on Bali streets
In a kneejerk reaction to a report of rabies killing 8 people, the
Balinese Government has begun an elimination program of all community
dogs and cats across the Island of Bali using strychnine
poison. Healthy animals and pets are also included because the
program is not selective.
Strychnine poison causes an agonising and painful death, sometimes
taking hours.
The Animal Protection Association of Australia (APAA)
has documented evidence of dogs dying in agony on Bali streets with
gruesome piles of dead dogs left on the streets in full public view.
See APAA’s video evidence (warning – graphic and
heartbreaking)

The Balinese Government have banned the vaccination of dogs and cats
in most areas yet the World Health Organisation advises the most
economical and effective method is to pre-vaccinate populations of
cats and dogs against rabies.
The elimination program also poses a real danger to Balinese and
tourists alike because dart guns are being used in crowded public
areas.
Other methods used to kill dogs in Bali include bludgeoning and
shooting. Australians recently witnessed the shooting of dogs in
full public view on Seminyak beach

Make these points …………
Stop the cruel slaughter of dogs in Bali immidiately.
Lift the ban on rabies vaccines and let the animal welfare groups in
Bali start vaccinating all the dogs straight away.
Start vaccinating all dogs accross Bali.
You will not consider holidaying in Bali until the killing program is stopped.
Bali represents peace, beauty, charm and tranquility for tourists.
Shocking cruelty to animals does not belong in Bali any more than
terrorism belongs in Bali
