In just one week of the 2017 race—when temperatures hit 30 degrees below or colder for days at a time—five dogs died.
One got away from his handler and was hit by a car, another died of hyperthermia on a plane, and three others died on the trail, one likely from choking on his own vomit.
More than 150 dogs have been killed in the race’s history—not counting those who died during the year while kept on chains or who were killed because they lacked the rare speed and stamina necessary to make the cut.
Please join PETA in urging Alaska Airlines to end its sponsorship of this abusive race in which dogs are run to their deaths.
SAV Comment – click on this link above to read more about what the investigators found and as always, where EU law for animals in transport is being breached.
An issue we have shown for years and campaigned strongly about. Van Goethem and the others at the EU simply say they can do nothing, despite having regulations that they could act on with regard prosecutions. The EU – useless as always; a big tub of useless hot air in Brussels !
What they found was shocking and appalling, but sadly not surprising.
Time and again we see evidence that animals suffer during long distance transport, but nothing is done.
Brexit gives the British government an opportunity to take a stand.
We must ensure the global trade in animals for fattening or slaughter is dismantled, a UK ban would be a historic first step.
You can take further action at the following link BUT ONLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK.

Breaking 15/9/17. LONDON hit again.
Some nut has attempted to kill and maim on a London rush hour tube train this morning. Very crude device – IED type device in a bucket placed inside a plastic shopping bag. Bomber left tube and on the run.
NO DEATHS, but several people with quite serious burns; not life threatening from what we know.

Help Viktor and Viktorija to stay safe
The Story
Time passes, 4 years pass while they are in the pension and left on waiting. I do not know exactly why they have no luck.
We are already tired of waiting. Unfortunately, on the picture you can not see how good they are and cuddly, they looks like an ordinary street yellow dogs. Maybe because that no one asks for them.
They are not demanding, they are wonderful brother and sister who are hold together, love other dogs, like people, love to play and love attention.
Victor and Victoria have 4 years, they are vaccinated and healthy, castration sterilization was performed. We search for home from the pension for which we need 60e month, Our food is our 20e for month. Help is needed every month.

Dear Mark,
I received this mail petition from Animals Angels today and would like to send it to you.
It goes to the Federal Minister of Christianity and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, in Germany.
Now it is the elections and maybe we can achieve something.
In any case it is important that many nationalities sign, so that Agrarminister Schmidt finally notes that the whole world is informed of his hostile animal policy.
And because EU is Germany, it is important to put pressure on him.
In the name of the animals, thank to all who participate
Venus
The situation:
Germany has already exported more than 13,676 cattle and calves to Turkey, as well as 331 cattle to Iraq.
Support our work for the animals with the invitation to the German authorities to stop exports of live animals to Turkey and Iraq.
We had a few problems yesterday, but now we can provide the email address for the letter to the minister, here is it:
So first dial up a blank e mail using the above link.
Then either copy the German or English (or both) versions of the short letter given below.
Paste the letter(s) into the e(blank) mail you have created via the above link.
Then hit the ‘send’ button on your e mail to send it to the Minister.
Job done – Thank you.
This is the letter to copy and send in German
“An Bundesminister Christian Schmidt und das Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft:
Wir fordern Sie dazu auf, den Export lebender Tiere in die Türkei sowie in den Irak zu stoppen.
Auf Ihrer Internetseite lesen wir folgendes: „Aus Gründen des Tierschutzes sollen Transporte über lange Strecken soweit wie möglich vermieden werden.“
Doch im Jahr 2016 hat Deutschland 29.368 Rinder und Kälber zur Zucht, Mästung oder Schlachtung in die Türkei exportiert.
Die deutschen Tierschutzgesetze werden jedoch nicht mitexportiert, vielmehr werden die Tiere ihrem Schicksal überlassen.
Dies lässt sich in keinem Sinne mit dem im Grundgesetz verankerten Staatsziel Tierschutz vereinen.“
Name, Nationality
This is the English version of the same letter.
“To Federal Minister Christian Schmidt and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture:
We ask you to stop exporting live animals to Turkey and Iraq.
On your website, we read the following: “For reasons of animal welfare, transports over long distances are to be avoided as much as possible.”
But in 2016, Germany exported 29,368 cattle and calves to Turkey for breeding, fattening or slaughtering.
But the law is not exported with the animals, they are left to their fate instead. This can not be reconciled in any sense with the goal of animal protection laid down in the Basic Law of Germany.”
