The Story
We sent dog to vet and to orthopedist at town Novi Sad in Vojvodina.
X-ray shows complete broken bone in whole length of front right leg, check ups result in dog was hit by a car. Orthopedist suggested we do first blood test result to know is there any infection or not on broken bone, wrist is out of position and whole leg is out of position.
He also said if blood test result to be checked up operation must be done in maximum ten days after it. No point after because then test does not make any sense. Operation would cost approx. 200€ – 250€ ,transport would be needed twice for blood test result and for operation and both time transport would cost 24€ ( 12€ + 12€ ) . Also operation would consist of plate and screws to adjust with bone to heal, when bone heals up plate and screws would be removed.
After operation dog would need treatments, probably antibiotics. If operation would cost approx. 250€ and transport 24€ we would need without treatments after operation approx. 274€ . So far donated 35€ .With you.caring fee we approx.added amount of 250€ for donors to pledge. Dog also has health issues with rachitis, we thought at start rachitis affected his leg, while was swollen. Since swollen part is gone vet and orthopedist done check ups which I explain at start. If anyone want this boy again to run on his leg and to recover his leg please pledge with text please adding : Dog’s leg operation.

Dear donors, friends and supporters,
We did it!
The Dutch House of Representatives has voted in favour of calves remaining for longer periods with their mothers. The House of Representatives accepted a motion made by the Dutch Political Party of the Animals requesting that a plan be drafted to put this idea into practice.
A dairy industry where calves are not taken away right after birth, but left with their mother for at least a few months until a more natural weaning age, has been one of our main focuses since 2011.
We dedicated a lot of time visiting dairy farms, cull-cow livestock markets and slaughterhouses and trailing livestock trucks transporting young calves. In 2014 we published a summary of these findings in our report called ‘Giving milk a good shake’. We were also interviewed on the famous Dutch TV show RADAR, along with a couple of dairy farmers we met that did keep the calves in the herd. Since then we have met with many retailers to urge them to stock calf-friendlier milk and give a premium to those farmers supplying it. We are now also planning a conference for dairy farmers to share practical and innovative ideas on how to improve calf-welfare.
In order to produce milk for consumers, cows are kept regularly pregnant and their calves are taken away from them within minutes to several hours after birth. The calves then spend several weeks all alone in individual boxes and are fed with a liquid made of milk-powder. Not only is this experience traumatic for mother and calf, it is also compromising the calfs’ health and social development. After a few weeks male calves and 25% of the female calves are brought to a fattening factory-farm where they remain in barren pens. Last week media reported that calves that are born small are often killed because they are financially worthless.
We feel strongly that this decision of the Dutch House Representatives will lead to a structural and positive change within the dairy industry. We will not stop until we achieved our goal: a dairy industry were calves are raised by their mothers and farmers be rewarded for producing healthier and happier calves. Will you keep supporting our work?
With best wishes,
Your Eyes on Animals team

Mark, you did it! After thousands of Animals Australia supporters like you asked HJ’s to drop cage eggs, today the fast food giant has committed to get hens out of cages.
First we tipped over McDonald’s. Then Subway followed. Now Hungry Jack’s… That’s three of Australia’s biggest and most influential food companies all responding to public pressure to step up for hens.
The writing is on the wall:
Your continued support will underpin major campaign initiatives this year that will help secure the next big victory for hens.
Have a great weekend, and thank you again!
Lyn White AM Campaign Director

Aquariums Deal Big Blow to Dolphin Slaughter in Taiji
Most Japanese facilities no longer will buy animals captured during the annual hunt at the cove.
May 20, 2015
David Kirby has been a professional journalist for 25 years. His third book, Death at Seaworld, was published in 2012.
In a stunning setback to the dolphin hunt in Taiji, the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums on Wednesday banned its members from acquiring animals captured during the annual slaughter.
Of the country’s 54 aquariums that house dolphins, 17 are non-JAZA members and are not bound by the decision. Aquariums from at least 20 foreign countries also acquire dolphins from Taiji. Meanwhile, it’s not clear if the JAZA ban extends to dolphins caught in places other than Taiji.
Still, the move is a big blow to the live-animal trade in Taiji. About 40 percent of all dolphins caught there are sent to aquariums in Japan, according to Sarah Lucas, chief executive of Australia for Dolphins. Nearly half of the dolphins in Japanese aquariums, meanwhile, may have been taken from Taiji.
“JAZA will prohibit its members to acquire wild dolphins caught by drive fishing in Taiji and to take part in their export and sale,” the group’s chairman, Kazutoshi Arai, said at a news conference on Wednesday.
Scientists and activists applauded the move.
“This is a huge victory for the dolphins,” Ric O’Barry, director of Ric O’Barry’s Dolphin Project and star of the Oscar-winning documentary on Taiji, The Cove, said in an email. “And it’s another nail in the coffin for the annual dolphin slaughter. We must be vigilant however. We will monitor the captures very carefully this year as usual.”
Last month, the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums suspended the Japanese group’s membership for failure “to adhere to policies that prohibit participating in cruel and non-selective methods of taking animals from the wild.”
The global organization was set to expel JAZA on Thursday if the Japanese didn’t take action.
“WAZA considers JAZA’s decision to be a welcome breakthrough and looks forward to receiving further details from JAZA in order to fully appreciate the implications of today’s decision,” the group said in a statement.
Diana Reiss, a marine mammal scientist and a psychology professor at Hunter College in New York, said she and other scientists and industry insiders had been working with JAZA and WAZA to bring about such a ban since 2004.
“It’s amazing and important news,” Reiss said. “What’s really terrific and critical about this decision is that it came from within Japan’s zoological community…which says that this needs to stop.”
JAZA’s decision, which was approved by a 142–43 vote of its members, came after years of negotiations with and pressure from WAZA.
The Taiji drives, where entire pods are forced into a small cove and then slaughtered, released, or captured and sold to aquariums for up to $150,000 apiece, has been the focus of enormous international opposition for years.
But Arai made it clear that JAZA was not rejecting drive hunts altogether.
“We do not think it is cruel to take wild dolphins…but as we have reached this kind of conclusion in relation to WAZA, we need to steer [our policy] toward breeding,” Arai said.
Ramping up Japan’s captive breeding efforts will be difficult. Many aquariums are too small to house breeding pools, and only about 13 percent of aquarium dolphins in Japan were bred in captivity, compared with about 70 percent in the United States, according to Arai.
Arai estimated it could take “five years or more” to establish adequate breeding skills in Japan. Failing that, “some aquariums could eventually face difficulty operating as they may not be able to find an alternative source of dolphins,” the Japanese newspaper Mainichi reported.
Possible loopholes in the new ban have some critics concerned.
“They say they will no longer capture dolphins in Taiji, but it’s not clear whether they’re going to capture dolphins in other places or not,” Reiss said. “This needs to be clarified with JAZA.” Moreover, non-JAZA aquariums presumably will continue buying dolphins from Taiji.
“JAZA’s decision…is a big step, and one that will hopefully contribute to an end to these hunts,” Courtney Vail, program and campaigns manager for Whale and Dolphin Conservation, said in an email. “We must still be concerned, however, with all wild captures. As long as zoo and aquaria keep the door open for acquisition from the wild, dolphins will suffer.”
