GOOD NEWS FIRST:

Captain Paul Watson: Legal Victory in the Faroe Islands
https://www.facebook.com/adam.meyerson.5/posts/10205065536386057?notif_t=close_friend_activity
The Danish Court in the Faroe Islands has ruled that the seizure of the British registered Sea Shepherd vessel “Spitfire” by the Danish Navy was illegal. The “Spitfire” has been ordered returned to Sea Shepherd U.K.
The Prosecutor has appealed the court’s decision and the court will decide tomorrow to accept or reject the appeal. The Faroe Islands police presently hold four Sea Shepherd boats. 1. Spitfire. 2. Loki. 3. B.S. Sheen. 4. Mike Galesi.
Sea Shepherd expects all the boats will be released as the charges are minor punishable by relative small fines and the boats are worth considerably more than the fines. Sea Shepherd will be pushing the issue of the deportation of Europeans from the Faroes with the European Parliament.
Sea Shepherd will also be challenging the European Parliament to demand compliance with European regulations protecting cetaceans as a condition for the Faroes to continue receiving subsidies from the European Union.
In Defense of Animals on FB
Great news! All across the United States, people who seriously abuse animal companions are more and more often receiving jail time rather than a slap on the wrist. While we’re not mentioned in this great first article link below, IDA frequently offers rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of animal abusers. We’ve had success as well. In one very recent instance, we offered a $2500 reward after 920 chickens were found bludgeoned to death on a California factory farm and the next day four people were arrested in connection with this crime.
You can read the article about jail sentencing here:

Here are the two most recent instances of abuse where we’re still hoping to locate the perpetrators.
Please help us if you’re local to either case by sharing the information:

Animal Experimenter Resigns in SHAME
They were left under heat lamps and heat pads for hours, completely forgotten by negligent staff and later found with third-degree burns. Their burns were so bad that their skin had peeled off and muscle was slipping off their bones.
Not only that, but while investigating this cruelty, PETA was able to snag proof that Charles Rupprecht, then-chief of the CDC’s rabies program, injected monkeys with a dangerous strain of rabies without protecting his staff from the disease.
The good news? Charles Rupprecht has been banned from all CDC animal laboratories and, because of PETA’s investigation, was forced to resign from his associate dean position at Ross University!
The animal abusers may run, but because of rock stars like YOU, they cannot hide. And PETA means business. The CDC’s negligence has been exposed to the world, and now we’re looking at you, National Institutes of Health.
Let’s make sure that no more monkeys ever suffer again. Tell the National Institutes of Health to STOP psychologically traumatizing baby monkeys now.

All EU residents are urged to contact their MEPs calling for a MANDATORY CCTV IN ALL SLAUGHTERHOUSES making sure animal welfare laws are applied. Unstunned slaughter and any other cruelty against animals must be abolished once and for all.
Only our concerted efforts and determination will make this happen. We are not alone – the JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE and well over 100 organisations are supporting our demands for such a law. Please contact your MEPs and urge them to act. Thank you!

Abstimmung gegen die grausame Behandlung von Galgos in Spanien
Es hat mit der Jagd mit den Windhunden in Spanien zu tun… äußerst grausam für die arme Hunde, die so oder so auf der Strecke bleiben. Nach unsäglichen Misshandlungen werden sie auf verschiedene Art & Weisen am Ende der Jagdsaison umgebracht… Einfach klicken auf VOTE. Damit stimmen wir für das Verbot dieser Barbarei in Spanien. Bitte weiter sagen. Bitte täglich weiterklicken! Die Anzahl der Stimmen wächst kaum. Danke!

Viele Menschen glauben, dass Pelztiere nur in Pelztierfarmen in China leiden. DAS IST
NICHT SO! Sie leiden kläglich in Pelzfarmen weltweit. Dies ist ein Screenshot des Videos eines analen Stromschlags in einer Pelzfarm in Illinois. Sie sterben nicht sofort, sie gehen in einen Schockzustand, während ihre Innereien grundsätzlich vom Strom “gekocht” werden. SEHEN Sie sich das VIDEO an:
