UK: Dr Hawden Trust Announces New Medical Research Scholarships That Do Not Involve Any Animal Testing or Research.

Posted on June 10, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

The Dr Hawden Trust (DHT) is the UK’s leading non animal medical research charity.

About them in their own worfds – http://www.drhadwentrust.org/about-us/who-we-are

Today they have announced this years studentship projects; covering a wide range of human illness research without causing the suffering of any animals.

A full review of each of the projects associated with non animal human benefit research can be found by clicking on the following link:

http://www.drhadwentrust.org/studentships-2015/2015-overview?utm_source=smartmail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Exciting+new+projects

Announcing 14 new Summer Studentship projects

We are delighted to announce that your support will allow the DHT to fund 14 Summer Studentships this year – our greatest number yet.

The projects will take place at universities up and down the country, from Plymouth to Edinburgh, and cover a wide range of research from tuberculosis to prostate cancer. With 3D cell culture and ‘on-a-chip’ technology developing at such a fast pace, several of our studentships will explore the latest ways to develop these techniques.

All the students will be undertaking research that will increase our understanding of devastating diseases while helping to replace the use of animals in medical research.

Further details about the projects are on our website.

If you’d like to help support this work, you can make a donation on our website or via PayPal.

Thank you!

P.S. If you live or work around Hitchin, please drop off your donations for our new vegan charity shop at our office in Portmill Lane. We are here Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm. Thank you!

Here at SAV we see these kind of research projects without using animals as the positive way forward. Animals are different to us as a species; and the react differently to medications and research drugs that are put into them to find a ‘cure’ for human sickness. In our opinion, you should remove the animal research from the tests and instead, concentrate specifically and directly on the human system and what it can / cannot do. We fully support the work of DHT and are positive that much more progress into human illness and cures will be achieved through their non animal approach instead of the outdated, risky and very antiquated approach that some still hold that animal research is the only way forward.

We feel that the work which be undertaken with these new projects will present a lot of new and exciting results.

Please also try and support the excellent work of Shelter Alex in Subotica to care for the 500+ stray dogs that they have in their care.

Serbia: June 2015 – Things have reached a very critical situation at shelter ‘Alex’.

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Come on folks, please donate anything you can – even 1 Euro; it makes a huge difference. This facility is too good to close down, as it has over 500 dogs in its care. It needs funds – we have got the ball rolling today – please give anything using the secure site – first link below – Thank You.

To donate and see lots more, please click on the following:

June 2015 – Things have reached a very critical situation at shelter ‘Alex’.

If you can help this dog shelter which has been running for years to help animals around the Subotica region, then please do so. It does not matter the size of your donation – anything at all will help with the dailt costs.

Andrea, who is a volunteer at the shelter, sends the following plea for help:

Today, things have escalated in shelter “Alex” to the point where the only person who runs the shelter has no strength to run it anymore and is willing to surrender it to other people. The pressure comes from another which is getting lots of support.

The shelter is full. No matter how hard we try to advertise the shelter, to share our dogs, to introduce other people with the work of the shelter, and publish each donation we receive to be as transparent as possible, simply it doesn’t go. There is no money.

Alex, with kind heart helps the dog, but in vain. Nobody else steps in with a minimum donation or a can of food, or to provide a ride to the vet or provide a temporary home for a dog. Nobody helps. Adrijana and Dragan kill themselves from all the work they do during winter and summer, hot and cold temperatures, rain and sun, while I only maintain the fb page of the shelter.

There are 500 dogs at the shelter.

In shelter “Alex” there are dogs who have been saved going back to 2003 and they are still alive. Everybody is welcomed in the shelter “Alex”. People can come and see the dogs, pet them, take them for a walk.

At this present time things are extremely difficult. Adrijana has helped at the shelter for many years but she is now finding it almost impossible to continue as financial donations are few and far between; yet the animals need to be cared for – veterinary costs, food costs, shelter maintenance costs, etc, etc.

Without Adrijana or more help with donations, the fate of all the animals at the shelter is uncertain. Please somebody help!! – give anything that you can to help, please; we do not know what more we can do than to simply ask people if they can help the shelter with a donation of any size – THANK YOU.

Andrea Sreiber

Volunteer at shelter “Alex”

About the shelter:

It is currently run by a lady named Adriana Nadj; this has been the case since 2010. She acts alone with big help by her boyfriend – that is great, but very difficult.

It was the first ‘no kill’ dog shelter in Serbia, founded in 2003. So this shelter has a long history and was involved with the original formation of SAV in England. As you can see from the following links, the shelter and SAV go back many years. In the earler days the shelter was run by Slavica, who is part of team SAV. When it was operated by Slavica, the shelter was known as ‘EPAR’. Here you can see some early SAV post links to the shelter when it was EPAR:

Things have not been easy for the shelter; in 2010 city officials attempted to gain access to the shelter in order to take the dogs so that they could all be killed.

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2008/12/24/serbia-epar-shelter-saves-klementina-the-pigs-bacon/

The shelter has a historically important meaning for Serbia. There have been up to 1000 stray dogs living there in the past; some of which were re-homed and some which died at the shelter by natural death.

There are currently around 500 dogs at the shelter.

The shelter was opened on 18.01.2003.

At the time, Subotica legally permitted euthanasia of dogs and on Fridays, people could bring their dogs to be euthanized for free. The shelter couldn’t allow this, so people from the shelter took those dogs and carried them to the shelter instead. This was the first no-kill shelter in Serbia. Its goal is protection of animals and the environment.

The shelter covers the area of 12000m2 + an additional land of app. 3600m2 next to the shelter which Adrijana received as a gift to expend the shelter.

As both SAV and Serbian campaigners have always spoken out iat length about sterilisation of animals (strays and owned animals); ALL the animals under the care of the shelter have been spayed and neutered.

A large number; approximately 70% of the dogs, are old (some having been under the care of the shelter since 2003/2004). Old dogs often lose control of their legs or suffer from an illness of some internal organ; and so the vets are regularly called on to help – and this costs money all the time.

The shelter does not have sponsors to cover medical costs. It is now looking for donations and / or sponsors to help with daily operating costs.

Small boxes at the shelter contain up to six dogs grouped by personality, to prevent fights. Dogs are also spread across six fields, also grouped by personality, around 10-20 dogs are on the fields. Each field also has a small pond. There are covered boxes, which contain dogs known for attempting to jump over the box walls. The small boxes and the fields require repair of old covers and installation of new covers, to provide shade.

Since it was originally founded, the shelter has helped thousands of dogs, having rescued, adopted and treated them. Dogs will only be adopted out after a mandatory inspection of its potential new home. Adoption is not possible if the owner intends to keep the dog on a chain. Adoption also comes with a mandatory contract. In the case of any dog being found to be in inadequate conditions, the dog is taken back into the shelter. The owner is also permitted to return the dog to the shelter at any time if there are reasons that they cannot continue to have the animal.

The shelter is funded exclusively by donations, which are neither regular or reliable. The City of Subotica currently only provides a free garbage dumpster and provides nothing in the way of financial help, even though the shelter is doing the city a big help by taking dogs from the streets.

The shelter also purchased a van to carry food three times a week from a nearby factory, and the fuel costs vary between 8000 and 10000 RSD. Electricity costs are around 15000 RSD per month. The shelter requires building materials, cleaning supplies, food (granules and canned food, salami, bread, etc), blankets, fleas/ticks

products and money to cover the vet costs, bills, etc.

So, after having hopefully given you an insight into the opertions of te shelter, all we kindly ask is if you would consider giving a donation; no matter how small, to help with the operating costs of the shelter.

Here at SAV, we do not like to keep asking supporters for financial help; but the situation (as you can see) of trying to help around 500 dogs is a very costly one.

Please give anything that you can;

Thank you very much. SAV

USA: Keep Sick, Suffering Calves Off the Slaughter Line.

Posted on June 6, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Keep Sick, Suffering Calves Off the Slaughter Line

Action link (Petition) – https://www.aspca.org/form/usda-veal?ms=em_new_form-usdaveal-20150605&initialms=em_new_form-usdaveal-20150605&utm_source=newsalertemail_20150605&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsalert

Proposed Federal Rule for Non-ambulatory, Disabled Veal Calves

Sponsor: The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

ASPCA Position: Support.

Action Needed: Please use the form below to urge FSIS to protect calves from further cruelty by moving forward and issuing this rule as proposed.

Back in 2013, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced its intention to enact a rule banning the slaughter (for veal) of calves who are too sick, injured or weak to stand. The formal language that would turn this from good intention to law has recently been drafted, and the USDA is accepting public comments until mid-July. Please join the ASPCA in supporting this rule.

It’s already illegal to slaughter adult cattle who are in such obviously poor condition, but a strange loophole in federal law allows a “wait-and-see” approach for disabled young calves: they can be pulled from the killing floor and given the chance to “recover,” which investigations have proven only leads to animal abuse as workers use inhumane techniques to force these baby cows, most of whom are no more than a few months old, to stand up. Instead of enduring further suffering, disabled calves should, like adult cows in physical distress, be immediately and humanely euthanized instead of entering the food supply.

What You Can Do
You can tell FSIS/USDA to protect calves by simply reviewing and submitting the sample comments below. If you have time, please add your own comments so the agency knows exactly what you think about protecting baby animals at slaughter plants.

Thank you for standing up for vulnerable animals, America.

China: Urgent ** – Please Help Animals Asia Stop The Yulin Dog Meat Festival – There Is Little Time To Act; Please Do It Now.

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Latest 22/6/15 – The Chinese have ignored the world and as usual doing only what they want. The Yulin festival is currently taking place – thousands of dogs are being slaughtered by these Barbarian back street Chinese dealers.

If our Cameron government does not have the balls to raise the issue, then we will – FREE TIBET !!

As we feel that this is a very important campaign, and there are time limits to take action, we are giving this some priority at the moment. Hence it will be taking prime slot on the site for a few days, after which it can still be found under ‘Recent Posts’ on the right hand side.

Please support this vital campaign; and pass to all your friends and supporters.

Thank you – SAV.

—————————————–

Dear Mark,

This year on June 22, the southern Chinese city of Yulin will host its now infamous dog meat festival. But this is no festival. In just one day, up to 2,000 dogs will be slaughtered, all in the name of profit.

Dog meat traders started the annual Yulin dog meat festival in 2009 when they saw an opportunity to make money, but the event has attracted widespread criticism over cruelty and consumer health risks. This saw the authorities withdraw their support in 2013. Dogs are stolen from their homes or snatched from the street and crammed into cages so small and with such force their bones break.

They will be forced to endure multiple days of horrendous transport conditions and torturous heat, leaving most sick, dehydrated and in some instances, dead.

Dogs are often sedated by poison darts and even cyanide. Unhygienic transport, slaughter and food preparation mean that toxins and disease find their way into the meals of festival-goers.

Our journey is just beginning but together we can stop this so-called festival. Animals Asia has written an open letter calling on the dog meat traders to cancel the event.

Please add your name to our letter. 2,000 dogs are counting on you.

SIGN OUR LETTER >

Thanks so much for your support.

Jill Robinson MBE, Dr med vet hc, Hon LLD

A public outcry saw last year’s event drastically reduced in scale, with the number of dogs killed dropping to 2,000 from the 10,000 of previous years.

A similar annual event, the Jinhua Hutou dog meat festival in eastern China, was cancelled in 2011 after widespread protests.

Together, we can help put a stop to the Yulin slaughter.

USA: Gray Wolf Killed in Colorado – Protect Them, Do NOT Destroy !

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

I am a BIG wolf supporter and have just made a donation to help DoW continue with their vital woek. Can you help with a donation to preserve this beautiful animal ? – please give anything you can.. The US should be proud of their wolves; specialist wildlife; it must not be destroyed !

Please give anything you can – Thanks – Mark (SAV Founder)

Dear Mark,

It’s with a heavy heart that we report that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has now confirmed that the animal killed by a hunter in Colorado on April 29^th was indeed a gray wolf.

As with any killing of an endangered species, FWS is investigating the shooting – so far, it is believed that the shooter misidentified the wolf as a coyote. Defenders fully supports this investigation.

This is the third confirmed wolf to disperse to Colorado from the Northern Rockies since wolves were reintroduced there in the 1990s. Wolves have also dispersed on their own to California, Arizona and Utah from the Northern Rockies and the Pacific Northwest. It’s a lesson that left on their own, wolves can fill in the blank spots on the map where suitable wolf habitat remains empty.

This incident also reinforces the critical need for continued federal protections for gray wolves. Removing federal protections would make it less likely that wolves would be able to establish new packs in areas outside their current range, essentially halting wolf recovery into western Colorado in its tracks.

Our job, yours and ours, is to give these magnificent animals the protection they need and deserve – and then to let nature take its course.

Defenders of Wildlife leads the nation in the fight for sensible wolf conservation. Won’t you chip in?

Sincerely,

Jamie Rappaport Clark
President, Defenders of Wildlife

China: Stop Animal / Human Abusing China Winning the Olympics Again.

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Urgent:
Stop China winning the Olympics again

China will see hosting the Olympic Games again as a signal that the world doesn’t care about Tibet.

Please sign this urgent Change.org petition and tell the International Olympics Committee to reject Beijing.

Beijing is one of only two cities competing to host the Winter Olympic Games in 2022. If it were to win the Games, it would be the first city ever to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing saw worldwide attention on Tibet, with daring stunts by Tibet campaigners and enormous controversy resulting from China’s brutal suppression of the Tibetan uprising in March 2008.

When it awarded the Games to China in 2001, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) claimed that the Olympics would improve human rights in China. Nothing could be further from the truth. Since then, repression has deepened in Tibet and in China itself, the government is more intolerant of free speech and opposition to its rule than ever before.

The IOC must not reward China for repression by giving it the Olympic Games again. More than 175 Tibet groups across the globe have joined forces to oppose Beijing’s bid. Please sign the global Change.org petition now and demand that the IOC rejects China’s bid.

The decision will be made in less than two months. Please sign the petition now and ask your friends and family do so too.

Today, things have escalated in shelter “Alex” to the point where the only person who runs the shelter has no strength to run it anymore and is willing to surrender it to other people. The pressure comes from another which is getting lots of support.

The shelter is full. No matter how hard we try to advertise the shelter, to share our dogs, to introduce other people with the work of the shelter, and publish each donation we receive to be as transparent as possible, simply it doesn’t go. There is no money.

There are 500 dogs at the shelter.
