England: Covid-farm-animals-and-pandemics-diseases-that-changed-the-world.

Posted on September 27, 2020 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

As always; the ‘Guardian’ (UK national press) produces some superb articles about animals and environmental issues.

The only way we can really reproduce the article on farm animal pandemics is to provide the link and then to let you click and read for yourself.

Regards Mark

USA: Petition – Dickhead, Dreadhead Cowboy.

Posted on September 27, 2020 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

WAV Comment:  Think he should be called the ‘Dickhead Cowboy’; as that is what he is.  Please sign and support the petition.

Petition Link:  https://www.animalvictory.org/_dreadhead_cowboy_rode_20-year-old_horse_to_exhaustion_on_expressway_during_rush_hour?utm_source=Animal+Victory&utm_campaign=c5ab650092-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_07_28_06_59_COPY_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d729f4e54c-c5ab650092-353576184&mc_cid=c5ab650092&mc_eid=90c110afe5

Adam Hollingsworth, Chicago’s so-called “Dreadhead Cowboy,” used a 20-year-old horse as a prop while staging a protest on the Dan Ryan Expressway during rush hour. The stunt, which went on for seven miles, left the senior horse so exhausted that she collapsed. Hollingsworth is facing felony animal cruelty charges because his horse, NuNu, was injured badly enough during the incident that it was initially believed that she would have to be euthanized.

This stunt is unacceptable and Hollingsworth needs to pay for the pain and suffering that he inflicted on this horse! Please sign this petition asking for Adam Hollingsworth to receive the maximum sentence for his felony aggravated animal cruelty charge!

—————————————————

Adam Hollingsworth chose to ride the 20-year-old horse, without oroper shoes, for seven agonizing miles on the expressway. By the time the publicity stunt was over, NuNu had collapsed on the pavement in utter exhaustion. Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Kevin Deboni described the horse’s condition in a Fox 32 News piece, stating that she was, “overheated, dehydrated, bleeding from the hooves, and with eyes so dilated they resembled ‘cartoon eyes.'”

Cook County prosecutors equated what Hollingsworth did to NuNu to forcing an 80-year-old woman run a full marathon.

Hollingsworth could have chosen a humane way to protest. He could have walked the Expressway on his own feet, but instead, he put an ill-fitting saddle on an old horse who wasn’t fitted with proper shoes. Witnesses have stated that he whipped NuNu when she was too tired to go on, and he continued riding her until she fell to the ground in utter exhaustion.

Animal Care workers initially believed that the ailing horse would not survive, but she is still alive and has been moved to an Illinois horse farm where she is recovering from the incident. Though she is reported to be out of critical condition, it has been stated that she was injured badly enough that she can never be ridden again.

Hollingsworth’s behaviour is unacceptable. Please sign the petition asking for maximum punishment for the felony aggravated animal cruelty charge, and an order for Hollingsworth to be prohibited from owning horses!

USA: Saving Life On Earth Webinar. Details and Sign Up Here.

Posted on September 27, 2020 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
  Hi Mark,

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s misleadingly named Wildlife Services program kills more than a million wild animals every year, typically at the request of Big Ag. Scattering public lands with cruel traps and indiscriminate poisons, the program targets carnivores like coyotes, bears, beavers, otters and foxes. Even rare species like grizzlies and wolves are caught in the crosshairs.

We’ve been working for years to shine a light on the feds’ wildlife-killing and have succeeded in gaining protections for wildlife in several states.

Join me on Thursday, Oct. 1, for the Center’s next Saving Life on Earth webinar to learn more about this work, as well as our other efforts to protect carnivores.

The presentation will feature our Carnivore Conservation Director Collette Adkins and Andrea Zaccardi, a senior attorney in our Northern Rockies office. In addition to talking about Wildlife Services, we’ll discuss the latest news on grizzly bears and wolves, including the expected loss of wolf protections nationally and the importance of state-level wolf work if that does occur.

The hour-long webinar starts at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET.

Register here and check your email for the link to join.

Complicity

Posted on September 26, 2020 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

suddenly you realize that you are in the middle of an indescribable crime,
and you are horrified that almost everyone around you wants to hold on to their complicity.

Regards and good night, Venus

Bulgaria: Animal markets like from the previous century

Posted on September 26, 2020 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Report of the organization against animal transports Animals ` Angels

Animals ‘Angels are in Bulgaria at the weekly markets in Haskovo and Raskovski.

In addition to all sorts of things, cattle, horses and donkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits, and poultry are sold here.

Image: Animals`Angels

We have already complained several times to the Bulgarian authorities about the way the animals are treated, housed, and transported here – and about their poor state of health.

The ministry then presented us with a comprehensive plan to improve the situation in the markets. We now want to review the implementation of this plan – and we will be bitterly disappointed.

Nothing has improved for the animals.

Once again, the Bulgarian official veterinarians have made empty promises.

Calves are sold from the trunk of a car with their legs tied together. Emaciated sheep with respiratory problems are hoisted onto closed delivery vans without lights or ventilation.

Nervous foals are tied to vehicles and dealers beat horses and cattle who do not know how to get on vehicles without ramps.

For more…at https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2020/09/26/bulgaria-animal-markets-like-from-the-previous-century/

 

My comment: “…Most of the trade takes place illegally in front of the marketplace, where the animals are traded directly from the cars. The handling of the sheep that are traded directly in front of the market entrance is particularly bad. They are tied by three legs, the fourth is used for pulling and carrying” (Eyes on Animals)

There are still around ten markets in Bulgaria where animals are offered for sale every week.
Cattle, sheep, goats, Equidae, rabbits, and birds are sold here.
Young pigs and piglets are also offered in illegal markets.

The conditions in the animal markets in Bulgaria do not in the least correspond to the requirements of the EU (No. 1/2005) and are reminiscent of relics of the past century.

Animal welfare does not play a role here.

But we still point the finger at China …

My best regards to all, Venus

Good news! Badger Cull website hacked!

Posted on September 26, 2020 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Read at the “animal liberation press office”

 

When we first read about the Carcase Management System (CMS) website back in February after a leak from the NFU, we knew the secrets it held would be priceless to the anti-cull movement.

All of the cage trappers, free shooters, and assorted badger cull helpers all log, all of their badger killing information onto a single website.

Locations searched for badger setts are logged, like kill, who did the killing, what time… etc, etc.

Thanks to some obvious clues in metadata it was only minutes before we discovered the URL: http://www.ggkkzz.info/Accounts

Since that discovery back in February we have been gaining regular access to the site, pushing deeper and further into huge piles of data including crime reports, shooters identities, locations of kills, and email addresses of those involved.

On Tuesday, the NFU IT people finally spotted us and have since made some minor adjustments to try and protect the site.

But unfortunately for them, it is too little, too late, we are in the system and will continue to edit and scrape data, we were also changing records (including crime reports) as they come in.

This year’s data on kills sent to Natural England will be based on our false reports, making the continuation of the cull completely pointless.

 

North American Animal Liberation Press Office

And I mean...Good to know who our neighbor is.
What does he do when he’s not in church or caring for his children in the playground.

And good to know that killing defenseless animals alone is not enough to satisfy one’s cravings for violence and death.

He wants to make it known, he is reward-controlled, the accomplices should know how many corpses he can deliver per day.
A pastime for psychopaths.

These people are among us.
They are military officials, veterinarians, gynecologists, dentists, or lead scout groups.

A number of factors such as genes, family relationships, upbringing, intelligence, and opportunities shape these psychopaths.

Many thanks to the hackers ❤️!

My best regards to all, Venus

Euphemisms: language of the system

Posted on September 25, 2020 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

There is always a victim behind euphemisms

Euphemisms is the language of the perpetrators and have the task of disguising the suffering of the animals and making it invisible.

Euphemisms are the tools of the system and the media for manipulating the crowd

We don`t participate

Have a good night, Venus
