Thanks!

Mark (SAV).

Petition wording:

Tamil Nadu’s Director General of Police: Indepth investigation of abduction & disposal of dogs in Mogappair

We want an in-depth investigation on the heinous capture and loading of the community pets of Mogappair West Garden Area. We want to know where the dogs have been held or released and demand that they be returned to their original community at Mogappair West Garden.

On 28th July 2013, in Nolumbur, a Chennai Corporation employee abducted more than 20 community dogs in a tricycle used to collect trash. One passerby managed to click some photographs, as the employee was not in uniform and had no id on him. When asked he claimed that he had the necessary permission for transporting these dogs.

Due to the inaction of the officers at V7 Nolambur police station, we continued undaunted in attempting to discover the fate of these 22 dogs.

Prabudass, the only corporation employee we could clearly link to the crime informed us that the dogs had only been captured and moved to another area, which in itself is illegal. However, we were reluctant to believe this information as he was refusing to tell us into which area he had the dogs released.
In the meantime, the residential association had barracked the police station, threatening the police officers and the animal welfare activits and volunteers with dire consequences if they should continue to investigate this case. Unmoved by these threats, we continued in the quest to discover the fate of the poor innocents. We discovered a shocking sequence of events whereby the homeowner’s association had sanctioned to “arrange” the abduction and round up these dogs and remove them from the area.

The next day, 15 of the association people came to the V-7 Nolambur police station at 22:30 hours and told the Inspector they supported the association with the decision to abduct the dogs.

In our investigations we found only one dog remaining in the vicinity of Mogappair West Garden area. The dog was found with a wound on his head that could only have been inflicted by a rock flung at him with some force.

Most distressing is that fact that the police of V7 Nolambur police station are still unwilling to take up the case or even file an FIR as a senior former judge is a resident member of the association.

We implore every person who sees this post to please take up the ghastly atrocity as a cause worth fighting for and bring pressure upon the police to prosecute the guilty parties.

Again, we emphasize:

Please, sign this petition to force the Tamil Nadu’s Director General of Police to carry out an indepth investigation on the heinous capture and loading of the community pets of Mogappair West Garden Area. We want to know where the dogs have been held and demand that they be returned to their original community at Mogappair West Garden.

Also, please call up the Nolambur Police Station on 9176528259 or 9940596447 and add your outraged voices to ours.

Please, share to as MANY PEOPLE as possible.

EoA (NL) Reports of December 2013 Inspections At Turkish Slaughterhouses. Also Links to Campaign For ALL EU Slaughterhoses To Ensure CCTV Is Installed. Petition Links Included for this also.

Posted on January 2, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Slaughterhouse petition

During December 2013, our very good friend and investigator, Lesley, founder of ‘Eyes on Animals’ in the Netherlands visited several Turkish slaughterhouses  –

– please go to the bottom of the link above, and once accessed get further access to another 48 web pages of information.  Simply click on the boxed / page numbers.

The following are words written directly by Lesley:

Dear EU officials, CVO´s and Member State authorities, highway police and fellow NGO´s,

In June 2013 Eyes on Animals and Animal Welfare Foundation sent a team to check on some of the slaughterhosues where many of the EU animals being exported by the EU had been previously slaughtered.

We are only sending our reports out now to all of you, as up until now we wanted to give the slaughterhouses and Turkish CVO some time to react and make improvements, before going public with them.

We have just now come back from a second inspection in Turkey to re-visit these three plants and also check on new ones. Some minor improvements were made but welfare problems remain very serious.
Hopeful news is that the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture has a team drafting welfare legislation at the time of slaughter- which may come into existence in about 2 years. In the meantime we are trying to advise the slaughterhouses on how they could reduce suffering and are in communication with authority in Turkey about our observations.

For now, here are our reports from June. In early 2014 we will send you reports of other slaughterhouses we visited in December 2013.

Best wishes,

Lesley Moffat, MSc Ethology
Eyes on Animals
Director and inspector

In addition, we are supplying copies of three (3) reports which have been produced by EoA post their December 2013 visit to Turkey.  Access these by clicking on each of the following links:

Turkey is not currently a member state of the EU.  Regardless, we are attempting to ensure that animals at Turkish slaughterhouses are treated with the utmost respect.  Turkey aims to join the EU in future, and so it is our aim that by the time it becomes a member state, Turkey will have to install and operate CCTV in all of its slaughterhouses, as we hope will be the situation throughout Europe and all EU member states.

This directly links in with our campaign which is now underway to try and ensure that CCTV is fitted in the future to ALL slaughterhouses within EU nations.

Can you please ensure that these are stored in ‘My Favorites’ on Google so that you can access any time.

Simply click on the national flag link and then move on as required using the ‘TO PETITION’ link which is given at the end to take you through to the petition.

Please note that we are in the process of updating this continually to meet the demands of other nations.  At this very moment, we are having the petition translated into Serbian so that Serbia (another NON EU member state at present); can be worked on to ensure that CCTV will be installed in all their slaughterhouses before they become EU members.

It will not be a quick or easy campaign; but we are determined to ensure that CCTV in all EU slaughterhouses happens in the future.

UK (England): Fox Saved From Death At Dig-Out.

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

England

Subject: Fox Saved From Death At Dig-Out

Hunt Saboteurs Association News Release 30/12/2013

On Saturday December 28th hunt saboteurs from Yorkshire (England) attended a Pony Club meet of the York & Ainsty South Foxhounds at Escrick Park.

Three foxes that were deliberately hunted were aided in their escape by the sabs through the course of the day and, as the sun was going down, three terrier men were found just as they were about to finish digging the second fox out of an active badger sett. 

The sabs began to obstruct the men from continuing this illegal activity and the situation began to escalate, with about 8-10 more men with spades soon arriving at the scene. One sab was smashed in the head with the pistol the men planned to shoot the fox with and was also knocked down in a field by the men’s pickup truck. The sabs were not deterred by this, fought off the attackers and stood their ground.

Sab1

On stopping the dig-out the sabs had to prize a terrier from the fox as it had locked on to the fox’s face. Sabs then had to help the fox free from the earth as the earth around it had been caved in, leaving only its head exposed. The fox escaped with little visable injury, the terrier’s face was badly wounded from fighting the fox.

Sab2

Sab3

The group are now preparing to prosecute the hunt for their actions and ask Escrick Park to stop facilitating these criminal activities. Anyone concerned by the activities of the Y&AS hunt should contact Escrick Park ( www.escrick.com/contact-us) to ask that they refuse the hunt access from now on.

Sab4

Sab5

Lee Moon, spokesperson for the Hunt Saboteurs Association, stated: “Only two days after Boxing Day we see the real face of fox hunting. Boxing Day is the sanitized, media friendly press stunt that the hunting community use each year to pull the wool over the eyes of the British public. This is the grim reality of what occurs the rest of the time when the media spotlight is elsewhere. Escrick Park are a major supporter of the York and Ainsty South Hunt and are just as guilty as they allow these illegal acts to take place on their land. We call on them to ban the hunt from their estate before they become embroiled in any legal action taken against the hunt.”

——————–

Happy New Year to you all !!

–          and the best of your campaigning throughout 2014.

Here in London, England, we had a pretty impressive firework display at midnight to see the old year out and the new year of 2014 in.

You can watch the full display as provided by the BBC by clicking on the following link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jp9_sgJcN0

Note – for our friends from overseas; in case you are wondering, the large circular structure at the centre of the display is known as the ‘London Eye’.  This is a viewing platform which revolves and allows visitors to have some very high and spectacular views over central London.

Read more about it at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Eye

And for those of you who know me; I am a big ‘Clash’ fan – ‘London Calling’ being of my favourite tracks.  Raining in London as always – just as it was last night during the firework display.  But we don’t moan; it is the lifeblood of the planet ! – I think it has rained here every day for at least the past two weeks.

In memory of the late, great Joe Strummer – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfK-WX2pa8c
