Take Action To Prevent Rhino Extinction.

Posted on June 12, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

NRDC

Mark,

Only days after South Africa rejected a reckless scheme to legalize the international rhino horn trade, neighboring country Swaziland rushed out a similar plan that could push Africa’s last wild rhinos to extinction.

And it couldn’t come at a worse time: Illegal rhino killings in South Africa alone rose 7,000% in three years, fueled by skyrocketing international demand for rhino horn on the black market.

We must move quickly to mobilize strong international pressure on Swaziland’s King Mswati III to derail this destructive proposal — and show him that the whole world is watching.

get involved 2Petition 2

Add your voice now: Urge Swaziland’s king to abandon plans to legalize the rhino horn trade.

Thanks in part to pressure from NRDC supporters, two months ago South Africa — home to 80% of the world’s rhinos — shelved a proposal to legalize the rhino horn trade after concluding that it could drive wild rhinos closer to extinction.

Unfortunately, it appears that Swaziland — a small monarchy in southern Africa — has picked up the mantle and is prepared to present its ill-advised plan at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) world treaty talks in September.

Swaziland’s risky scheme would overturn a 40-year-old international ban on the rhino horn trade, which would likely increase demand and fuel more senseless rhino killings.

We must do everything we can to make sure Swaziland never gets that chance.

Urge King Mswati III to drop his disastrous proposal to legalize the international rhino horn trade and give rhinos a fighting chance at survival.

Make no mistake: The world’s last rhinos are on the brink — and their fate is in our hands.

Please add your voice to mine to help save rhinos before they are lost forever.

Sincerely,
Rhea Suh
President, NRDC

Update! Chinese Embassy refuses to accept Petition/ re URGENT:  DEMO, LONDON AGAINST HORRIFIC YULIN ‘FESTIVAL’ 24 June – and  – Request for help in Yulin

Wake up! It’s always about money and power!

The only way to have an effect is to boycott Chinese tourism and to tell every big corporation manufacturing in or buying cheap crap from China and re-selling it to us, that we will not buy their products so long as this obscenity is allowed to continue!  Added benefit would be that it would bring back the millions of manufacturing jobs that have been lost in our own country!

The same goes for the Philipines,  S. Korea, Vietnam and other countries in S.E. Asia where eating dogs/cats is still allowed.

China has no humane laws and they have been dragging their heels on this for years. it’s time to end bear-bile farms as well, where thousands of bears are imprisoned and suffering in excruciating pain; the farms that raise and kill tigers for their penises; and the use of rhino horn for their traditional medicines.

 

American & International Corporations Who Manufacture In China-

NOTATION- even though this is a very long list of American and other foreign corporations in China,it is certainly not a complete listing. We have only included a few of the names you may recognize.

This is a list of companies who either own factories, or have contract factories producing their productsin China. Some of the companies produce 100% of their products there, and others only produce parts,or certain ingredients for their products. The list below is approximately 1% of the actual Corporate list.

Companies such as Avon, GE, and AT&T for example, have been in China and manufacturing productsfor 20 to 30 years. Most American consumers simply had no idea. Previously their source was Japan.

See below:

Dear Friends I received the following message re: Yulin from Adrian please read with attention and if there is anything you can do to help please do so.  We can Stop this torture if we all stick together! Thank you

Hi everyone. Your aid is very dearly needed. This is a significant effort that may spell a relatively quick death for Yulin festival. The founder of the Animal Hope & Wellness Foundation, Marc Ching, is leading a carefully orchestrated effort to strongly expose and speak out against the Yulin “festival” as well as the dog and cat meat torture trade in general.

But Marc Ching is requesting aid. Please view (and most importantly, Share widely) this post of his request, which includes some details on his strategy — but he needs our help. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1477398962574778/permalink/1617003798614293/ Exposure of his call for help is greatly needed. Please, Share widely in your social circles (Facebook, Twitter, or elsewhere).  This is the critical moment to put all support in the effort. Thank you very much! Contents of the post:

FROM Marc

I need help.

In Yulin, I am going on a frontal assault.  Shutting down slaughterhouses. Shutting down restaurants. I will be rescuing what I assume will exceed far over a hundred dogs.

1) We need to connect with other groups who have local space to shelter the dogs. This means making contact, and getting people to commit. We do not need contact numbers, we need you to connect and work to get the committals for us.

2) I need two volunteer vets that have Visas and are willing to come with me to China (I will pay for everything).

During the festival, I am airing torture videos on possibly ten monitors around the city to show the world and the people at the festival – the truths of what really happens behind the walls.

3) I need help finding a contact that lives in the Guangxi Province so that I can send my equipment and banners directly.

4) I need 2 to 4 drivers local to the area who are able to rent something like a large Uhaul to help transport the dogs (I will pay for everything).

I am putting together a PSA featuring Matt Damon, Bill Maher, Orlando Bloom, Russel Simmons, Sophia Bush, and others which we plan to air in China before the festival.

5) I need help contacting small media groups in China who would air the PSA.

I leave to Asia in 9 days, and there is just too much for me and my director Valarie to do by ourselves. This trip – it will be the journey into darkness and dying. This is the last stand. This is f***ing war. And if we can put the pieces into place, I promise you the effect we will have, it will change history.

In life – we get one moment. One chance to really change the world. This is that moment. This is that time. Let’s save humanity, and these dogs…

EU: Refuses To Back A License Extension For Monsanto Weedkiller.

Posted on June 11, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Mark,

Just as Bayer makes moves to merge with Monsanto, we’ve rocked Big Agro’s world. EU nations just refused to back a licence extension for weedkiller glyphosate — meaning Monsanto’s signature product Roundup may be pulled from shelves this year.

This is the third time member states have rejected the EU Commission’s bid for a new licence for glyphosate. Governments are responding to our mass mobilisation of citizens fed up with the widespread use of a pesticide that the World Health Organization deems “probably carcinogenic.”  

On June 23, an appeals committee will meet to attempt a final compromise. But if it can’t reach a qualified majority, glyphosate’s EU licence will expire on June 30. Which means that soon, a whole bunch of Roundup could be coming off the shelves across Europe.

Even a month ago people said we couldn’t possibly make our voices heard over the noise from industry and scientists with chemical industry ties. But we did it, and it’s even made us stronger than before! We’ve delivered tens of thousands of signatures to the Netherlands and Germany to make our voices heard. With both nations abstaining from recent votes and thanks to the massive efforts of environmentalists, activists, independent scientists and critical journalists, it looks like the tides are finally turning against Monsanto and glyphosate.

The EU has spoken. But the threat from Monsanto looms large. Politico’s Giulia Paravicini warns that “the Commission’s fear is a multi-million euro lawsuit from industry”. 

Thanks for all that you do,

Nabil and the team at SumOfUs

USA: U.S. Bans Ivory Sales. Will China Be Next?

Posted on June 11, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

USA

 

U.S. Bans Ivory Sales. Will China Be Next?

Advocates hope that America’s near total outlawing of elephant ivory sales will spur other major markets to do the same.

http://www.takepart.com/article/2016/06/03/us-bans-ivory-trade-will-china-be-next?cmpid=tpanimals-eml-2016-06-11

Your move, China. That’s the message sent by the Obama administration on Thursday in announcing a near total ban on commercial sales of African elephant ivory, set to take effect in July.

The U.S. is the world’s second-largest market for trafficked ivory, with most sales occurring in New York, California, and Hawaii, according to one recent report.

Now conservationists hope the world’s biggest consumer of illegal ivory will respond in kind.

Last September, President Xi Jinping of China jointly promised with President Obama to end domestic ivory sales, aiming to curtail a slaughter that is wiping out, by some estimates, almost 100 wild elephants a day.

But the Chinese government has yet to follow through, said Leigh Henry, a policy adviser with the World Wildlife Fund.

“When, in 2013, the United States crushed six tons of seized ivory in Denver, afterwards China crushed 6.1 tons of ivory. So there is definitely this kind of tit for tat that we’ve seen in the past,” said Henry.

With the U.S. ban formalized, “what I hope China will do is give a greater level of detail and a timeline for their ban,” she said, noting that the U.S. agencies worked hard to be sure the rule would be finalized in time for an annual high-level diplomatic meeting between American and Chinese officials in Beijing next week. According to the State Department, the meeting’s agenda will include energy, environmental, and economic issues.

The Obama administration intends for the near ban to have a chilling effect on global demand for elephant ivory. “One way we will evaluate the effectiveness of this rule is by evaluating how much ivory continues to make its way into the U.S. market,” said Craig Hoover, who directs U.S. compliance with international conservation and wildlife trade agreements at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “We’ll also measure our success in terms of what other countries do to further regulate their own domestic markets.”

RELATED: The ‘Devil’ Gets His Due: Elephant Poaching Kingpin Arrested

The U.S. has joined with governments of African elephant range countries to press for a worldwide closure of domestic ivory markets, said Iris Ho, the wildlife program manager at Humane Society International, and that effort’s potential is likely to be tested at the upcoming meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, scheduled to take place in Johannesburg in September.

There are a few exemptions in the ivory ban—such as allowing interstate sales of antiquities over 100 years old, as well as some musical instruments and other items containing less than 200 grams of ivory. (The Fish and Wildlife Service has posted guidelines online.) States still have jurisdiction over sales that don’t cross state lines.

The ban should add clout to the U.S. position at CITES while also diminishing the allure of ivory at home, Ho said.

“It’s sending out the message that ivory is a taboo product,” she said. “Ivory represents elephant slaughter. The rule will help to stop perpetuating the notion that ivory is collectible.”

‘EU Must Ensure Animal Welfare’ Or Mr Van Goethem Will Get You – And The Next Joke Is ….

Posted on June 7, 2016 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

EU AW LOGO

 

Regarding our recent post on the failure of the EU to enforce any protection for EU animals being tucked to Turkey, a non EU state,  https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2016/06/06/the-eu-excuses-get-more-pathetic-by-the-day-contact-mr-van-goethem-and-show-your-disgust/  as the ex EU correspondent for Kent Action Against Live Exports (KAALE), I decided to go back into my old files as I know the name of Bernard Van Goethem very well.  The two of us have corresponded in the past, when I presented many other failures of EU live animal transportation regulations to the EU; sadly, all of these appear to have been ignored also; certainly from what is recently still seen at Kent, English ports.  There is very little, if any change.

As the copy of the letter (below) shows; I wrote on behalf of KAAALE to the EU (one of many letters – see ‘About Us’ – https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/about-us/  ) regarding concerns for animals in transport within the EU, including the UK.  This letter is from early 2013 and specifically deals with the issue of trailer identification and the fact that live animals are / were being carried  on vehicles which did not identify this in any way.  It was often seen at Kent ports that live animal transporters did NOT carry any identification on them that live animals were being carried.  To many outsiders or those not familiar with the trade, I can understand when people say that you must be able to identify an animal transporter trailer just by the look of it.  Well I am afraid this is not always the case; as ‘box trailers’ with no visible access to the animals were sometimes used by the Dutch when operating in the UK.  Here is a photo of a typical closed box trailer; which actually contains many dozens of live sheep.

Copy of Lesley last 1

Live sheep being carried in this trailer within the UK by a Dutch haulier – would you know it ? – where is the signage in accordance with EU Regulations on the transport of live animals ?

If you do not know that, then how are UK emergency services supposed to know it if the trailer overturns on a UK motorway ?.  That my friends was the very essence of my letter of complaint to Mr Van Goethem – that trailers are not identified as carrying live animals; hence failing the requirements of EU Regulation 1/2005, and that the trailers did not have access doors fitted to them – something which Lesley identified so very much in her report to the EU on the very same issue.

VG 1_NEWVG 2_NEW

Here below is a link to Lesley’s report on the importance of access in livestock trailers – why it is so very important to have multiple access doors to allow access to animals should they need it.

http://www.eyesonanimals.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Downloads_Eyes_on_Animals_report_Importance_of_Access.pdf

A statement exists in EU Regulation 1/2005 on ‘the protection of animals during transport’, that:  ANNEX I – Technical Rules; Chapter II – Means of Transport; Section 2 – ‘Additional provisions for transport by road or rail’ – Para 2.1 clearly defines:

2.1  “Vehicles in which animals are transported shall be clearly and visibly marked indicating the presence of live animals, except where the animals are transported in containers marked in accordance with paragraph 5.1”.

SAV underline and red type above.

Evidence of the failure of ‘clear and visible markings’ on some livestock trailers is yet another example of where the EU has written legislation, in the form of Regulation 1/2005; but effectively, it (the EU) does not wish to ensure that its regulations are enforced by member states.

In his letter back to Mark of 6/5/2013, Mr Van Goethem clearly states at the end of page 1 that:

“You alert us to the fact that transports, often do not display notices warning that live animals are being transported.  This is indeed contrary to the terms of the legislation, according to which road vehicles carrying animals ‘shall be clearly and visibly marked indicating the presence of live animals’.”

“This is of course of great importance to ensure the welfare and safety of the animals on board”.

“The Commission sees that it is important that the Regulation is properly implemented.  It is however the member states that are primarily responsible for the daily enforcement of EU legislation, and the Commission would intervene mainly where there appears to be a systemic failure of the competent authority of a member state to enforce adequately the EU Regulation”

As of 2016, Dutch livestock transporters using the box type trailers are still being witnessed by UK activists on the roads of the UK, and ARE STILL carrying no signage whatsoever in accordance with EU Regulations.

So, we have to ask exactly what Mr Van Goethem and his ‘team’ are actually doing for the welfare of animals in transport from EU member states.  In our opinion, very little at all; maybe even nothing.  Not particularly good for someone who in his letter of May 2013 to Mark claims to be the ‘Director responsible for animal welfare in the DG for Health and Consumers’ (at the EU).

As you can clearly see in our other recent post, https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2016/06/06/the-eu-excuses-get-more-pathetic-by-the-day-contact-mr-van-goethem-and-show-your-disgust/  and despite utterly clear evidence obtained by Lesley and the team on the Turkish border, the EU Regulation for animals in transport is completely ignored by the ‘Director’ Mr van Goethem; who appears with his response that things just continue as they are and that animals will continue to suffer.

Why Mr van Goethem, have you taken no action either about the lack of clear signage on livestock carrying trailers ?  We have given you the clear photographic evidence, the names of some of the hauliers doing this, and the actual sub para of the EU Regulation which declares that signage is completely important.

Why ?, why are you happy to fail the animals ? – you declare that you are a ‘Director responsible for animal welfare’ art the EU Commission.

Can we make a suggestion – that you practice what you claim to be and that you give a lot more understanding to the lives and suffering of animals in transport rather than just to your retirement pension from the EU !

Yet another reason for the UK groups to get out of the utterly useless EU and to undertake ex EU campaigning for all live animals in transport across the EU.

And more importantly, time for EU ‘importants’ to wake up to the real world; see all their failings and to actually do something about it.  Something we have not seen to date.

Things are very close at the moment – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36271589  – many people wanting out simply because the EU does nothing; talks the talk; fails to enforce and then charges member states millions of pounds each week for not enforcing the regulations.

What would you do in such a situation ?  – support the Van Goethem ‘do nothing’ policy or get out and try to improve the welfare of animals in transport ?

 ——————————————————–

——————————————————

We witness the dictatorship of incompetents!

In June 2012, the then EU Commissioner John Dalli assured us all to pursue the will of the 395 MEPs until 2014, who signed for a reduction of the transport of animals to 8 hours.
And the will of 1,100,000 EU citizens who had signed the petition.
In June 2012, Dalli disclaimed his promise.

To date, 6 years after, Dalli goes unpunished.
A MEP cannot nullify his promise without consequences, just because it fits him like that.
Unless he suffers from dementia or is corrupt.
Both very poor properties to direct the Office of Health and Food.

Dalli is out, a new is here!
His name is Mr. Van Goethem or perhaps Mr. Andiukaitis, or even Mr. Hogan.
No one knows, because no one is responsible for anything.
The only thing we know with certainty that all can nothing.
It would be enough if they bring the 8hours campaign to an end, as a sign of fairness and restitution.
If they had corrected the EU bad reputation in animal welfare because of the Dalli affair.
If they had abolished the shameful Transport Regulation from 01/2005, we would not accuse the EU of being responsible for medieval barbarism in animal transport.
We do not ask that they do all this because of love for the animals, but because animal welfare is in their contract, and because they get a turbo salary.

Clearly, we are experiencing the dictatorship of incompetents!
When conducting talks with MEPs, you are at the end after half an hour.
You sit opposite to merciless, disinterested and stupid janitor, with nice white shirts. And one wonders what they’re doing there.
Besides earning a lot of money, of course.

Both Mr. Van Goethem and Mr. Andiukaitis would gain a higher reputation, if both would give up her job.
Both are not able to lead a responsible animal welfare policy.
In whose hands lies the future of animal transport?

In those of the incompetents, the washouts, the clueless.
We need a new European model.
For humans and animals.
Venus
