** INTERNATIONAL NEWS LETTER – November 2009 **
BAN FUR FARMING IN IRELAND
Saturday 10th October marked an historical victory for anti-fur campaigners across Ireland. Green Party members voted in favour for a new programme for government, which will see fur farming banned in Ireland within 3years. This is a big step but is far from a final step.

SAVE THE RABBITS IN STOCKHOLM (SWEDEN)
Thousands of rabbits are shot and killed in the city of Stockholm, every year. The bodies of the animals are frozen and then shipped to a heating plant in Sweden, where they are burned to generate electricity. Some of the rabbits are abandoned by their owners; 3,000 have been culled this year, down from 6,000 in 2008.

MORE PROTECTION FOR SHARKS
The plan is designed to protect all cartilaginous fish, a class that includes sharks, skates and rays – over 1 000 species in all. In the EU, shark finning has already been banned for some years now. The new plan is set to introduce more rigorous surveillance measures that should help the entire marine ecosystem, suffering from ever more intensive fishing.

“THE COVE” PUTS PRESSURE ON TAIJI FISHERMEN (JAPAN), DOLPHINS TO BE RELEASED
September 10, 2009 – Fishermen in Taiji, Japan will be releasing captured dolphins this week in response to international outcry following the award-winning film “The Cove.” Some of the dolphins captured during the annual round up will be sold to aquariums, and while the rest are typically slaughtered in secret, the fishermen will be releasing them because of recent criticism.
