Who is the USA Eco Villain of 2019 ? – Cast Your Vote here now before January 15th.
Below are some powerful images by environmental activist Robin Wood however, shows the effects of man’s effect on the natural world in a exceptionally powerful way.
Who wins the Rubber Eco Dodo Award ? – Is It :
David Bernhardt: For suppressing data showing pesticides harm at least 1,400 protected species, Trump’s interior secretary was under inspector-general investigation just four days after he got the job. A longtime lobbyist for polluters, he’s worked for decades to weaken the Endangered Species Act. As our interior secretary, he’s the ultimate fox guarding the henhouse. Bernhardt has launched an all-out attack on protections for America’s wildlife.
Donald Trump, Jr.: Donald the Younger’s never met an endangered species he doesn’t love to cuddle — once it’s dead. A trophy hunter of African elephants, leopards and Cape buffalo, he likes to have his picture taken with their bodies (once, holding an elephant’s severed tail). Recently, in Mongolia, he killed a threatened argali sheep — a species whose population had dropped 50% between 1985 and 2009.
Andrew Wheeler: Former coal lobbyist, now-Environmental Protection Agency chief, Wheeler apparently likes clean air and water about as much as David Bernhardt likes wildlife. A seasoned Beltway insider, he’s rescinded Obama’s Clean Power Plan, brutally overruled scientists, and gutted auto fuel-efficiency standards. He’s also slashed Clean Water Act protections, freeing up industry to destroy wetlands and dump toxic waste into streams across the United States.
Stephen Miller: This far-right advisor to the president is like the long-lost brain Trump never had. Sadly, that brain is racist. Miller has guided American immigration policy into the realm of outright inhumanity. His whispers in Trump’s ear are likely behind a ban on immigrants from Muslim countries, a shameful practice of removing children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, and construction of a destructive border wall across precious wilderness.
Vote Now Before 15th January.

Video shows hunting dogs mauling deer in Askham Richard
Watch the video via this link:
A video showing a pack of hunting dogs mauling a roe deer as it tries to escape has been released.
West Yorkshire Hunt Saboteurs recorded the footage on land north of Askham Richard in North Yorkshire on Saturday.
The group claimed the dogs were from the Badsworth and Bramham, Moor/York and Ainsty South hunting groups and were “out of control”.
A spokesperson for the hunt described it as an unfortunate incident, but blamed the saboteurs.
The video showed the deer being caught by the dogs and attacked three times before it manages to escape.
North Yorkshire Police said it had received reports of a deer which had been injured by dogs at about 13:45 GMT on Saturday.
The force said officers had attended the location and appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.
In England and Wales, it is illegal to use dogs to hunt foxes, hares or deer, unless it is defined as “exempt”.
The protesters, who posted the clip on their Facebook page, said the hounds “came across a deer, repeatedly bringing it to the ground, along with killing a rabbit”.
The group said “the dogs were not under the control of either huntsman or whipper”.
TV naturalist Chris Packham also issued a response to the post.
He said: “Distressing footage of some of the hound pack chasing and mauling a roe deer… It’s time for this to end.”
A spokesperson for the York and Ainsty South Hunt said: “We are aware of an unfortunate incident which took place on Saturday, 4th January, which happened purely as a direct result of the actions of the anti-hunting activists.
“These hunt saboteurs were blowing a hunting horn and distracting the hounds which took a few of them off the trail which had been laid for them to follow.
“It is desperately unfair on our hounds if somebody else blows a horn too.”

Please give your support and signatures to the following; thank you:
Target: Daniel Cameron, Attorney General of Kentucky
Goal: Punish man accused of stabbing and skinning several dogs.
Four dogs were allegedly killed and skinned in a horrific case of animal cruelty. A Davis, Kentucky caller sent state authorities to the grotesque and disturbing scene at the home of Jonathan Watkins. Watkins seemingly brandished a hunting knife and wore blood-stained clothes as police approached. Upon questioning, he allegedly confessed that he had killed and skinned four dogs to “make myself a doggy coat.”
The disturbing incident began when police responded to a complaint by Watkins’ neighbor. The neighbor reported seeing what appeared to be animal skins hanging from Watkins’ porch. Watkins had also allegedly bragged to this neighbor that he had been skinning dogs. This claim raised the neighbor’s alarm because several neighborhood dogs had apparently gone missing.
After officers talked to Watkins at his home, the suspect reportedly admitted to stabbing the dogs through the heart. He also apparently claimed “there isn’t anything wrong with me making myself a fur coat.” This case of animal cruelty is reportedly not even Watkins’ first brush with the law. A few years ago, he was accused of shooting and killing his stepfather, but the charges were dismissed.
Sign this petition to demand the legal system do its job this time and punish an atrocious act of alleged animal cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Cameron,
Several years ago, Jonathan Watkins—a man accused by eyewitnesses of repeatedly shooting and killing his stepfather—walked away from prison time because a judge deemed he “was not criminally responsible.” State legal authorities then refused to seek an involuntary hospitalization that could have at the very least kept this potentially lethal man from inflicting further harm.
Fast-forward to today, and four skinned dog carcasses were reportedly discovered on Watkins’ property….and Watkins allegedly confessed that he did indeed slaughter and then skin innocent neighborhood pets. These animals deserve justice. This time Watkins must not be let off the hook if he is indeed found to be guilty as it seems.
Please prosecute Mr. Watkins to the fullest extent of the law…for the sake of his alleged victims and for the safety of any potential future victims.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Pass the Humane Cosmetics Act to Stop Cruel Animal Testing
A bipartisan bill could finally end cruel and needless animal cosmetics testing in the U.S.
Recently reintroduced, the Humane Cosmetics Act would not only save innocent rabbits, mice and other animals from being tortured and killed in unnecessary experiments, but it would also ban the sale of cosmetics tested on animals.
Animals used in cosmetic testing are subjected to excruciatingly painful procedures, like being force-fed chemicals that make them bleed and convulse. The animals may have toxic substances painfully dropped in their eyes or applied to their skin, burning off their fur.
When the testing is over, they are typically killed by decapitation, neck-breaking, or asphyxiation.
“It’s long past time to end cosmetics animal testing in the U.S.,” said Representative Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), one of the bill’s co-sponsors, in a press release. “Not only is this practice inhumane, but it is also ineffective and costly. Companies across the U.S. now successfully use alternative methods of testing that more accurately predict the effect of cosmetics on humans. This bipartisan bill would protect innocent animals from needless abuse, while modernizing our cosmetics industry.”
Sign this petition to urge Congressional leaders to pass the Humane Cosmetics Act and finally stop the suffering.

PETITION TARGET: District Attorney General Hon. Amy P. Weirich
In a grisly act of animal cruelty, a young woman decapitated her grandmother’s dog Lucy, carved up the animal’s body, and sent photos of the mutilated pet to relatives, reports KKTV 11 and WREG 3.
According to investigators, Smith beheaded Lucy and placed the dog’s head in a dresser drawer. Smith then allegedly cut out the dog’s heart and placed it in her grandmother’s freezer.
An unnamed neighbor stated that Smith had previously displayed alarming behavior while peering over the fence one night and staring at her dog.
“I asked her, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’” the neighbor reported. “She said, ‘Oh, your dog is cold. Your dog is cold.’ That’s the only thing she’d say.”
Smith has already been released on bond and must be prevented from harming more innocent animals.
Sign this petition urging District Attorney General Hon. Amy P. Weirich to to call for a strong sentence that includes intensive psychological treatment for Smith, as well as a lifetime ban on ever going near an animal again.

Sydney News today: “Nothing kann stopp this!”
A massive wall of fire stretching for miles seen in this extraordinary video shot from a firefighting chooper.
And now the rain comes!!
Breaking: Thousands of people across Sydney are celebrating with cheers and laughter as rain falls across the city. Tonight the prayers of millions were answered. (!!!)
At high-density Bondi Beach in the eastern suburbs, people cheered mid-evening from balconies, as rain fell in the area. Sweet sounds of rain is music to everyone’s ears…
Update from the Bureau of Meteorology: “Tropical moisture could cause some much needed rain over…WA, SA, Victoria, Tasmania and NSW. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like this rain will be heavy enough to put out the fires in south eastern Australia”.
According to the organizers, the Australian Open, which begins on January 20, the first tennis grand slam tournament of the year, is not in danger (!!!)
And I mean...So … the rain will probably solve the problem this time. And after the rain is like before the rain.
The water is running out, even before the fires…

Australia has 160 million sheep and 24 million cattle, 100 liters of water a day needs one cattle, sheep slightly less. It doesn’t take much imagination what these millions of animals can do on the fragile ecosystem of the dry soil.
Even if half of it remains after fires and executions, including camels and kangaroos, the water will not be enough.
Not even for human animals.
What happens when the Darling River dries up? Because like all others rivers, it is pumped for industrial agriculture!
But Australia will continue to breed, torture and produce animals, and will remain among the largest “producers” and exporters of “cattle” worldwide.
Until the next biblical catastrophe comes.
Australia is firmly in the grip of the totally stupid Murdoch press and the lobbyists who want to sell their coal, and apart from these tycoons, nobody will benefit from this, the rest will be satisfied with prayer and rain which unfortunately cannot be bought.
My best regards to all, Venus

Pester the pig is back to tell shoppers only to buy high welfare sausages – if they still live in the past and eat them !
Pester Pig is Back to Punish the Undiscerning Shopper
Farms Not Factories mascot, Pester Pig, has been campaigning alongside Jerome Flynn, to raise awareness about the lack of pig welfare in popular high street food chains. She is not happy that three-quarters of the popular supermarkets & high street food chains we surveyed sell pork from factory farms. So, when she catches someone buying low animal welfare pork, the punishment has the desired effect! Make sure to give the video a like and share, to remind friends to only buy high welfare.
It’s Time for Real Change on Pig Welfare
Tell the CEOs of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Greggs and Domino’s to only source high welfare pork, by sending them this letter.
Most High Street Chains Source their Pork from Factory Farms
Three-quarters of the 60 high street supermarkets & food chains surveyed by Farms Not Factories sell pork from factory farms. The vast majority of these don’t offer a single high welfare alternative. Pigs reared in factory farms (an intensive farming system that is permitted under the Red Tractor labelling scheme) have to endure permanent indoor confinement in barren, overcrowded pens for their entire lives. Mother pigs are kept in narrow metal cages so small they cannot even turn around for weeks on end.
The Solution
RSPCA Assured, Free Range and Organic all have significantly better standards than the Red Tractor labelling scheme and minimum UK & EU standards. Some well known high street chains have already made the switch to one of these high welfare labels. For example, McDonald’s only sell RSPCA Assured pork across their entire menu and the Co-op only sells Outdoor Bred RSPCA Assured pork throughout their entire own-brand fresh pork range. Pigs on high welfare farms, either outdoors or indoors with plenty of straw, are healthy and more contented. They have enough room to roam and express natural instinctive behaviours such as rooting, nesting and playing.
