STOP HORSE SLAUGHTER
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/255/851/583/stop-horse-slaughter/
Horse slaughter is the torture and murder of American pets. In fact, 80% of Americans are opposed to it. Horses are considered domesticated companion animals, and have served mankind for thousands of years. They have carried us on the battlefield, plowed our fields, delivered our mail, carried us on cross-country migrations, and provided therapy for our children with disabilities. This nation was founded on horseback.
Family walk free after serious animal abuse in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
An east Belfast father and his two sons admitted allowing a cat to be torn to shreds by dogs trained to fight. The Ulster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (USPCA) said the savagery inflicted on innocent animals was “wickedness at its worst”.
The family avoided jail on Thursday (March 13 2014) when the men were each handed six-month suspended sentences.
Jeremiah Kirkwood, 43, and sons Chris, 23, and Wayne, 20, admitted keeping animals for fighting. They also pleaded guilty to having equipment connected with animal fights and causing unnecessary suffering to four puppies. Video clips have been found on the mens phones showing a cat literarlly being thorn to shreds.

The heartbreaking moment a giraffe gives dying zoo worker a kiss goodbye·
The 54-year-old, known only as Mario, is suffering from a terminal cancer that has left him with weeks to live
He spent most of his life working at Diergaarde Blijdorp zoo in Rotterdam, Holland, cleaning out the giraffes’ enclosure
He asked that hospital bed be wheeled into the giraffe enclosure so he could say goodbye to the animals he knew
In heartbreakingly – touching scene, one giraffe approached Mario, in his portable hospital bed, and gave him a kiss
His dying wish was granted by the Ambulance Wish Foundation charity that grants dying wishes to the terminally ill

Submit your Official Comment in Support of Wolves!
Last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) formally proposed to remove federal Endangered Species Act protection for nearly all gray wolves throughout the United States. But after an independent peer review board unanimously decided that the best available science doesn’t support the plan to delist, wolves have been given a second chance at maintaining federal protection.
Now that it’s been confirmed that this proposed delisting is clearly not based on the best available science, we are left wondering why FWS wants to turn its back on wolves.
Demand that this proposal be stopped in its tracks!

Monarch butterflies are in crisis, and we must take immediate action to protect them!
Less than 20 years ago, an astounding 1 billion monarchs migrated to Mexico for the winter.
This year, a mere fraction of that — just 33.5 million — made the journey.
Why? In large part it’s because industrial agriculture is killing off the native milkweed on which monarchs depend with a new generation of potent herbicides.
Tell the EPA to adopt tough new restrictions on the weed killers that are wiping out monarchs!
By placing commonsense limits on Big Ag’s rampant use of herbicides like glyphosate — marketed as Roundup by Monsanto — the EPA could dramatically increase the monarch’s chance for survival.
But the EPA is unlikely to do that unless it hears from hundreds of thousands of us!
Monarchs can’t live without milkweed — it is the only plant on which they lay their eggs.
What’s at stake here? One of the most astounding and extraordinary migrations on the planet — a true natural wonder.
Each year, as they have for countless generations, North American monarchs undertake an epic journey, flittering upwards of 3,000 miles across the U.S. and Canada to just a relative few wintering grounds, including Mexico’s Sierra Madre mountains.
But as industrial agriculture has ramped up its use of genetically engineered crops resistant to weed killers like glyphosate, it has also dramatically escalated its use of herbicides — and monarch populations have plunged.
This is the ninth year in a row that the population of monarchs wintering in Mexico has fallen below its long-term average, and this year it hit an all-time low.
Please tell EPA the time to act is now!
Thank you for joining NRDC at this critical moment in our fight to save the monarchs.
Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council

http://www.save-me.org.uk/BAD_illegal_Claims.html
As many of you are aware, we have been fighting the issue of badger culling on our own ‘patch’ of England for many months now. Right from the start the animal welfare lobby declared that the culls would be a complete waste of both time and public money. Mass demonstrations have taken place right across the country in support of the badger; and in opposition to the culls proposed by the government as a lead up to what could be much larger and widespread culls.
Well this week the politicians gave a resounding ‘NO’ to the killing of any more badgers. As you can read in the media links provided, there have been many reasons cited as to why the culls were an outstanding failure.
Despite the will of experts investigating the issue, the vast will of the majority of the British public to leave the badgers alone, the government could still ignore the will of the elected majority and carry on regardless.
Possibly it is an attempt by the Conservative government here in the UK to try and show the farming lobby and potential pro-Conservative voters, that they are trying to do something. The UK has a General Election to elect the next government in May 2015. If this is the case, votes rather than thought out animal welfare, then the government have made a very serious mistake as the culls which have taken place to date have basically been meaningless and showed nothing in the way of positive results for the pro-kill badger lobby.
The following is a report on the current political situation, and following you can read several press articles (via links) on the vote in Parliament this last week. Finally, we have provided a copy of many of our past links on this issue, in order that you can see the hard work which has been undertaken to try and stop the unnecessary killing of the badger.
50% or fewer badgers were killed than target figure
· 6.4% – 18% badgers took longer than five minutes to die
· 1,771 number of badgers culled*
· £7.29m estimated cost of badger cull, according to animal welfare charity*
Source: Independent Expert Panel, – Care for the Wild*
Mark – SAV
Thursday 13th March
Yesterday, MPs across all political parties gave the badger cull roll out a resounding ‘NO’ in parliament with a number of brave MPs defying the government and taking a stand against culling.
This victory could help save an estimated 100,000 badgers!
However, we mustn’t be complacent as the government could still ignore the will of the elected majority and carry on regardless.
Join us in calling for an urgent independent review of the bovine TB strategy ahead of any decision to allow more culling and a debate and binding vote during government time!
Last year’s pilot culls failed to kill enough badgers in both pilot areas to meet the government’s own targets. This, even after being extended beyond the original six weeks – a move which scientific conclusions published by Defra said could make the spread of TB worse.
There are also reports that The Independent Expert Panel (IEP) have found that the pilots failed the humaneness criteria with more than five percent of badgers taking longer than five minutes to die!
If culling is extended to more areas then imagine just how many more badgers could die in such pain… act now!
Join us now, as we vow to fight on against plans to slaughter an estimated 100,000 badgers across England!
Thank you for your support,

“MPs voted overwhelmingly to halt the controversial badger culls in England on Thursday, but the backbench motion does not bind ministers to abandon the policy.
The motion, proposed by the Conservative MP Anne Main, stated that the pilot culls had “decisively failed” and was passed by 219 votes to one.”

“An independent scientific assessment of last year’s pilot badger culls in parts of Gloucestershire and Somerset has concluded that they were not effective.”
