TURKEY!!
We demand INVESTIGATION for 300 dogs that have been destroyed by the Municipality of Uşak.
In Civril that is 59 km away from the Usak city, the police officers were suspicious about a parked truck trailer and requested to look inside the trailer to investigate.
There were about 300 dogs loaded in the trailer and around 50 dogs were already dead.
The driver testified that the transportion company he worked for, has had a contract with the Municipality of Usak to transport the dogs to Civril.
The Police informed Can Güllübas who is responsible of the shelter at Civril.
Can Güllübaş arrived, unloaded all the dogs and reloaded the live dogs back on the trailer to be sent back to Uşak. The police have released the driver and the truck trailer to take the dogs back to the shelter in Uşak under terrible conditions.
Since then, the driver and the trailer loaded with dogs can not be found.
Animal welfare society in Usak had previously reported that they were very surprised to see so few dogs in the shelter located at Usak and according to their statement, the dogs were originally loaded on this trailer by the people working at the shelter in Usak.
PLEASE PROTEST ….

Today, a federal judge struck down Idaho’s controversial ag-gag law as unconstitutional.
The ag-gag law was enacted in direct response to a 2012 undercover investigation by MFA documenting horrific animal cruelty and neglect at Bettencourt Dairies, Idaho’s largest dairy factory farm.
That investigation, which documented workers viciously beating and shocking cows, violently twisting their tails, and even sexually abusing cows, led to charges of criminal animal cruelty against multiple Bettencourt Dairies workers, including a manager, and spurred significant animal welfare policy reforms by major food suppliers.
In 2014, pro-factory farming legislators and Idaho governor “Butch” Otter enacted an ag-gag law to ban filming inside factory farms and criminalize the brave whistleblowers who speak out against animal cruelty and other criminal activity occurring inside of Idaho’s agricultural facilities.
In response to a legal challenge brought by a coalition of animal protection, food safety, and civil liberties groups, Judge B. Lynn Winmill of the U.S. District Court for the district of Idaho held that the law violates the First Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
Based on today’s ruling, Idaho’s ag-gag law is no longer in effect.
You can watch MFA’s Idaho dairy investigation here:
Judge Winmill’s decision is the first step towards restoring transparency in U.S. food production, and we hope that dangerous ag-gag laws enacted in other states will be swiftly struck down as a result of today’s decision.
Idaho’s lawmakers should be ashamed of wasting precious time and valuable resources enacting unconstitutional laws that threaten animal welfare, food safety, workers’ rights, and the environment. We hope they will now focus their efforts on improving animal welfare and rewarding the brave whistleblowers who uncover criminal activity in Idaho’s agricultural operations.
This ruling should also be a wake-up call to the meat industry that attempts to keep consumers in the dark about where their food comes from will not be tolerated.

Currently up to 129,000 signatures – lets make it many more !!
In the tourist area of Koh Lanta in Thailand, baby chicks are dyed various colours, put in plastic bags, and sold to tourists as children’s toys.
The chicks, which are dyed yellow, green, pink and other bright colours, cannot breathe in the plastic bags and are not given access to food or water despite it being swelteringly hot outside.
There is a Care2 petition urging the Thai government to step in and stop this cruelty. Will you sign too?
Here’s a link to the petition or click on the link given above.
Thank you.

UPDATE!
VICTORY FOR BORKO AND HIS FRIENDS..!!
-A BIG Thank you to all of you who signed the petition!
But Please Please continue to share Borko’s petition:
-The more voices we can get condemning the actions of this Mayor, the more embarrassed the authorities will be and more likely to step in against the Mayor!! Thank you!
A last minute decision of the Smolyan Administrative Court STOPPED the preliminary execution of the intended by the Mayor of Devin seizure of Borko and his family.
A small group of animal welfare activists, journalists and Borko supporters occupied early in the morning the Surgery in the village of Selcha, waiting for the municipal “action group” to arrive. They had already been informed by Dr. Litov’s attorney of the court’s decision, but were not sure if the Mayor would comply with it.
An hour later the group drove off to the town of Devin to meet and confront the Mayor himself and ask for explanation of his intended actions. The coward had run off and could not be found anywhere. Instead, the Mayor’s legal adviser and the municipal property manager were questioned thoroughly.
It became evidently clear that the authorities were becoming very concerned by the international uproar, caused by the death threats to Borko and his family.
They were assured that unless they take all necessary steps to remedy the situation and guarantee that Borko and family will never be threatened again, the international pressure will continue non stop with all negative consequences. We’ll wait and see.
Borko is alive and well and sends hugs and kisses to all those who stood up for him.

Gray Wolf Appears in California For the Second Time in Nearly 100 Years

Wildlife officials believe they have found evidence that a gray wolf has made its way into northern California, making it the second one to cross the border into the state in almost 100 years.
Officials from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) said in a statement released this week that they set up remote trail cameras in southeastern Siskiyou County in an effort to follow up on public sightings of a lone wolf that were made earlier this year.
They got some pictures in May of “a large, dark-colored, lone canid,” but couldn’t confirm for certain that it was a wolf. In June, they found tracks and put up more cameras. After downloading photos in July, the suspected wolf was captured in images again, leading biologists to conclude it is indeed a lone wolf based on its size and tracks, who is likely to have wandered down from Oregon.
They’ve since set up more cameras and aim to definitively determine it’s a wolf by collecting and DNA testing scat samples.
The sighting is exciting for wildlife advocates who want to see this iconic species return to their historic range. Wolves once roamed vast portions of the state, but before 2011, there hadn’t been a confirmed sighting since 1924 thanks to government sponsored extermination programs that wiped them out. That’s when collared wolf OR-7, now otherwise known as Journey, made headlines after crossing the border from Oregon on a mission covering hundreds of miles to find a mate and a place to settle down.
The CDFW confirmed it isn’t him, he’s since established territory in Oregon and is busy raising a second litter of pups. While he left the state, his venture there helped clear the way for others of his kind to safely return.
Spurred by a petition from conservation organizations following his appearance, last summer the California Fish and Game Commission voted to protect gray wolves under the state’s endangered species act, which makes it illegal to harm or kill wolves in the state.
The latest sighting also couldn’t have come at a better time, as the CDFW is preparing to release its wolf management plan for public comment, giving those who want to see wolves return to California’s landscape a chance to weigh in on their future there.
“With the potential confirmation of another wolf in California, it is all the more critical that the state wolf plan provide the management strategies that will best recover and conserve these magnificent animals,” said Amaroq Weiss, West Coast wolf organizer with the Center for Biological Diversity. “While it’s exciting to most Californians that wolves are returning, there are those who hate wolves and these animals will need all the protections they can get to successfully reestablish here.”
Later this summer, and again in September, the Center, Sonoma Land Trust, Sonoma County Conservation Action and Pepperwood Preserve will be co-hosting screenings of a documentary about Journey in an effort to raise awareness about wolf recovery.
