Hallo Corry,

kannst Du es bitte durch den Verteiler geben, denn beide sind bestimmt wieder auf der Suche nach einem Hund.

Bitte vertraulich behandeln und nicht in Foren etc. einstellen.

Danke

Beide Hundehalter haben die vermittelten Hunde innerhalb von 2-3 Wochen zurück gegeben. Und es lag nicht an den Hunden, sondern an der falschen Einstellung der Menschen.

Dear all,

Please help any way you can.  These groups in Shanghai are working so terribly hard to make a difference, not only for the cats they rescue, but specially because they are striving to change minds by example.   These acts are extremely important because of the huge impact they make on any society.

If you find it hard to donate by bank transfer, you can send it to my Paypal account  (marked Shanghai cats) and I will collect the moneys to send via Western Union. 

Here’s my Paypal: http://www.antifurs ociety.org/ DONATE.html

Thank you.

Rosa

The 700 cats that were rescued on Nov 2nd 2009 in Shanghai are yearning
for your help in any way!

Please see the photos below were taken on Nov 5th at a temporary place
where the 700 rescued cats stayed since midnight Nov 2nd.

1. Cat food donated by a loving lady.

2-9. Several loving people stayed there at night with the poor cats in a
suburb of Shanghai and they have shifts to take care of 700 suffering
cats.

10-11. This white and grey cat is so lovely, she likes to be held, and
wears a collar with a bell. She is certainly someoneâ?Ts loving family
member before she got trapped by the evil.

12-13. Some of the cats are still scared and try to hide up in high
places.

14. Some of the cats got sick and the loving rescuers became vets and
treated the cats themselves.

15. It was discovered that a female cat had just given birth, and still
had breast milk ready to feed her babies when she was taken away. How
could her babies live with their motherâ?Ts milk?

16. This tabby cat gave birth to four kittens. The arrival of the new
kittens caught the rescuers unprepared.

17. This ginger cat was already neutered with the mark on her ear.

18-19 They found out that this white catâ?Ts leg got injured.

20-21. This black cat is so cute, active and cool!

22-25. This little tabby is making everyone happy and she continuously
rubs your leg. She would even be jealous of other cats!

26-29. Look at their beautiful eyes!  They absolutely should not be
treated like meat and eaten by evil people in South of China!!!

Please help them in any way!

Nov 2 2009, 700 Cats Rescued in Shanghai

5am – Nov 2nd 2009, in a cold windy day.  The cat owners from Lost Cats
Owners Protection Groupâ? (Used to be â?oShanghai Cat Protection
Groupâ?, since the cat nappers claimed that the cats theyâ?Tve got are
stray cats, so the police may have the caged cats release to the cat
nappers, if the cats have no owners) were waiting outside of a hotel (the
place the cat nappers have the cats collected.) Before sunrise, the cat
owners saw the motorcycles carried the bags into the hotel.

 9am – The cars drove out from the hotel.  The owners followed all the way
to a wild place, outside of Jiangqiao parking lot, where was no any houses
close by.  Clearly, this was a place for cats transporting.

11.40am â?” The cat owners called the police.  The police officers came
from Jiading, Fengbin Police Station.  The owners went into the place led
by the police.  They saw 35 cages full with poor cats squashed in the tiny
bamboo cage: this was not strange to them, but still so heartbroken!
There was no any of the cat napper at the place at the time.

The died bird on top of the cage was the evidence of the cat stolen.

After long time negotiation, with Shanghai Raise Livestock Bureau Small
Animal Protection Assnâ?Ts help, the cats were released to the cat owners.
But the things werenâ?Tt ended.

3pm â?” When the cat owners were carrying the cages up to the truck, at
the moment of the life saving for the long time caged cats, everyone
including all women were carrying the cages. When they were about to
leave, the cat nappers appeared suddenly, they got the truck key from the
truck driver, the owners of the cat were all went on and trying to get the
key back, this was the lives of the 700 cats!  After more than 10 minutes
of fight, they got the key back.  When they managed to drive the truck to
the gate, 5 cat nappers showed out. Those evils throw the rocks to the
truck window. The cat owners, most of them were women, got attacked by the
evils, the police officers were just watching during the attack.

4pm â?” Things gone same as Oct 23rd rescued 600 cats, the truck had gone
to the police station to have the problem solved.  The lives of the 700
cats were decided by the decision of the police.  For years of the
rescues, the action is getting harder and harder!  The cat nappers still
keep steal cats without fear, and the people south still keep eating our
poor cats!!!!!!!! !!! Where is the justice?  Where is the ethics?

8pm â?” After more and more lost cat owners went to the police station to
support, the pressure from the power of the loving people, finally, the
police made the decision: to have the cats released to the cat owners!

1am Nov 3rd â?” At a safe place where the cats were going to be back to
their home or to be adopted , several loving people were working till 3am
after middle night.

Those rescued cats, were saved by the cat owners and the cat lovers who
put their lives in danger to have this rescue successes.  In the near
future, they are going to have the cats be neutered, medical ,adoption,
finding owners, or return to the living areas.  They do need a lot of help
from every source.

Please give your hand to help the Lost Cat Owner Protection Group to fight
continually for our poor, cute dear cats!

MONTPELIER, Vermont –

A Vermont slaughterhouse ordered closed after video showed calves kicked, shocked and cut while conscious had its operating license suspended three times earlier this year for similar conduct.  U.S. Department of Agriculture records show Bushway Packing Inc. of Grand Isle, which was ordered closed Friday, was shut down for a day in May, again in June and again in July after an inspector cited it for inhumane treatment of animals. 

The revelation came Monday as the Humane Society of the United States released more video footage taken with a hidden camera this summer.

The video shows days-old male calves culled from dairy herds being dragged, kicked, repeatedly shocked with electric prods and apparently cut while still conscious. “We found even two calves who appeared to be skinned alive while they were still conscious,” said Michael Markarian, the Humane Society’s chief operating officer.
Inspector’s behavior scrutinized

The video also appeared to back up a Friday statement in which U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack described the conduct of a USDA inspector at the slaughterhouse as “inexcusable.” It showed an unidentified inspector appearing to coach a plant worker on how to avoid being shut down by another inspector and failing to stop an animal being cut while awake. A call to the slaughterhouse on Monday was not immediately returned, nor was a call to a Ronald Bushway listed in Grand Isle.

USDA spokesman Caleb Weaver said Monday he could not comment on the inspector’s conduct because it was a personnel matter. Markarian said it appeared several calves were abused because they would not or could not stand up to be prepared for slaughter. The slaughterhouse specialized in “bob veal” — meat from days-old calves that ends up in hot dogs and lunch meats. Meat sold as veal usually come from animals raised to about 4 months old.

Certified organic producer Some in the Vermont dairy industry said they worried the revelations would give an enterprise generally viewed as wholesome a black eye. Bushway Packing was certified as an organic processor, raising extra concern in that sector.

“That’s not right, that’s really nasty,” said Paul Stecker, an organic dairy farmer from Cabot, after watching the video on the Humane Society’s Web site. “I wouldn’t be in this business if that’s the way it was. That’s not the norm, I can tell you that.” Stecker said the slaughterhouse’s problems also would bring attention to an aspect of dairying most farmers don’t like or talk about much:

The vast majority of male calves born on dairy farms face very short lives. “That kind of thing hurts us all, like our industry really needed that,” he said. Dairy farmers nationwide have been struggling as a global milk glut has resulted in dramatically lower prices for their milk. The Humane Society said it would propose tighter rules for the meatpacking and related industries, including a requirement that male calves born on dairy farms be kept there until they are 10 days old to ensure they are strong enough to travel.  Kelly Loftus, a spokeswoman for the state Agency of Agriculture, said she expected there would be strong opposition to such a measure.

“There are labor costs involved. There are feeding costs involved,” she said. With the current crisis in dairy farming, “any extra expense could mean that a farm has to close.”  Nicole Dehne of Vermont Organic Farmers, a group that certifies Vermont farms as organic under an agreement with the USDA, said the group’s national counterpart is meeting in Washington this week and will discuss humane treatment of farm animals. Organic rules now are geared mainly toward ensuring meat labeled organic comes from animals raised without hormones or chemicals.

“I think consumers expect organic regulations to cover all aspects of animal welfare, including slaughter and transportation,” Dehne said. “If we need to tighten the regulations in regard to processing facilities, and come up with guidelines to address more humane transportation, I think we would respond to the expectations of the organic consumer.”
