Romania: Petition – Shut down Spike kennel in Cernavoda! – Please Sign.

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Petition Link:

http://www.change.org/it/petizioni/chiudiamo-il-canile-lager-spike-shut-down-spike-kennel-in-cernavoda-adapostul-spike-trebuie-inchis

For ten years Save the Dogs and other Animals has been calling for the closure of this facility, where about 150 dogs and an unknown number of cats live in terrible conditions, because of dirt, lack of food and veterinary care.
The kennel is located in the poorest district of the town, where it feeds the stray animals (dogs are not neutered) and sickens of mange and distemper owned and stray animals. The City of Cernavoda revoked the concession of land to Spike and asked our association to take care of animals evicted, which Save the Dogs has guaranteed even if we are going through a difficult financial period.

This petition aims to support the decision of the council, which was made in the interest of the animals and of all citizens.

Hi!

I just signed the petition “Chiudiamo il canile lager Spike! Shut down Spike kennel in Cernavoda! Adapostul Spike trebuie inchis!” on Change.org.

It’s important. Will you sign it too? Here’s the link:

http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/chiudiamo-il-canile-lager-spike-shut-down-spike-kennel-in-cernavoda-adapostul-spike-trebuie-inchis

Thanks!

Thanks again — together we’re making change happen,

Save the Dogs and other Animals

Chiudiamo il canile lager Spike! Shut down Spike kennel in Cernavoda! Adapostul Spike trebuie inchis!

Chiudiamo il canile lager Spike!

Da dieci anni Save the Dogs and other Animals chiede la chiusura di questa struttura, dove circa 150 cani e un numero sconosciuto di gatti vive in condizioni terribili, tra sporcizia, mancanza di cibo e di cure veterinarie. Il canile si trova nel quartiere più povero della città, dove alimenta il randagismo (i cani non sono sterilizzati) e fa ammalare di rogna e di cimurro animali di proprietà e randagi.
Il Comune di Cernavoda ha revocato la concessione del terreno all’associazione Spike e ha chiesto alla nostra associazione di prendersi cura degli animali sotto sfratto, cosa che Save the Dogs farà nonostante il periodo difficilissimo dal punto di vista finanziario. Questa petizione intende sostenere la decisione dell’amministrazione comunale, che è stata fatta nell’interesse degli animali e di tutta la cittadinanza. Tornare sui propri passi sarebbe un grave errore.

Adapostul Spike trebuie desfintat!

Timp de zece ani Save the Dogs solicită închiderea acestui adapost, unde aproximativ 150 de câini și un număr necunoscut de pisici trăiesc în condiții groaznice, datorita mizeriei si lipsa de îngrijire.
Canisa este situata în cel mai sărac cartierul orașului, unde “produce” mai multi caini fara stapan (animalele adapostite nu sunt castrate) și imbolnaveste de raie animalele cu și fără stăpân.
Primarie Cernavodă a revocat concesiunea terenurilui și a cerut asociației noastre să aibă grijă de animalele evacuăte, ceea ce Save the Dogs va face chiar daca ne aflam intr-o perioada foarte grea.
Această petiție urmărește să sprijine decizia consiliului, care a fost făcută în interesul animalelor și a tuturor cetățenilor.

Serbia: Latest (January / February 2013) News and Photos From ‘Felix’ Shelter.

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

APPEAL FOR HELP

“Problems are piling up…

Winter is already in full swing, but the weather is very changeable; we were literally snowed in a couple of weeks ago, and then it was pouring rain for days. After that we had some chilly but clear weather followed by freezing rain and now it’s snowing again. The central heating is on day and night and the first tank of gas we bought back in September is close to empty; another one has already been ordered.

During the cold winter months what scares me the most is the thought of a heavy, wet snow falling and sticking to the already rain drenched chain link fence. It will eventually reach a point where it can’t bear the burden of the extra weight and will collapse. We’ve been lucky so far, as last weekend’s snowfall melted quickly, but we can’t count on luck forever and I wonder what will happen when it turns against us. The chain link fencing around the shelter has gotten loose and the posts are wobbly due to the horrible winter and huge snowfall last year. The entire fence is much weaker, more than ever before. How this winter’s ordeal will end up remains to be seen.

The roof of the auxiliary rooms in the backyard is another matter. Completely worn out, with rotten rafters and partially cracked roof beams, it’s still miraculously holding on, but the new snow always gives me the willies every single time, nevertheless. Our last year’s project of repairing the shelter started too late and we weren’t prepared well enough. We were trying to raise funds while simultaneously repairing the shelter and it was a big mistake, we should’ve found a way of covering expenses before getting bogged down with major shelter repairs. Most of the unpleasant lessons seem to have to be learnt the hard way…The first time is always the hardest, no matter what we are talking about.

All of the kitties are eating tremendous amounts of food during the winter months; I can’t believe how fast the food storage empties. They have all gained a lot of weight but their appetites are still voracious. When the weather is bad, most of them don’t even want to set foot outside, but on rare perfectly calm and sunny days the yard is full of chubby, furry creatures rolling around. Just looking at them is a pure bliss!

We are in the middle of winter now, and no one knows how bad it’s going to get. If you can help us in any way possible, please do so! Your kindness and thoughtfulness will make everything a lot better and will be a great encouragement. Felix kitties, all of them unwanted and unimportant once, deserve to have nice lives in their safe haven!”

Best regards and thanks;

Danica and all the cats.

USA: Please Take Action To Defend America’s Wolves Now.

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Hello Friends of All God’s Creatures,

I just got off the phone with Governor Steve Bullock’s Secretary. She is very nice and appreciates our respectful calls. She recommends either calling or writing & emails. Either way the Governor is new and wants to hear all sides on this issue. I asked her specifically if the Governor understands what gut shooting is, and the torturous death that our Wolves face, and she assured me that he is aware of this!

See below for the needed information to contact his office. I Hope & Pray that we can stop this Horrific & Torturous Killing! If everyone would call or email…we can make a difference. This is what peaceful activism is all about! It is only through Love & Compassion that we can change the destructive behaviors of humans, and properly be concerned stewards of our planet.

Thanks in advance for your help in this Critical Matter, and please pass this information on! I also have attached a word doc of various folks who have chimed in on this issue, which hopefully will give you some talking/writing ideas. The Wolf is a Beautiful & Important part of our Ecology…once the predators are gone, there will be no natural balance in nature!
peace,
rich.

This week’s WOLF DEFENDER ACTION is to contact Montana’s new Governor, Steve Bullock. Please be respectful and polite. Gov. Bullock is brand new to his position and has taken no action to hurt wolves.

Ask Governor Bullock to put an end to the persecution and massacre of wolves in Montana. Ask him to veto Montana House Bill 73. Ask the governor to be the first governor in the Rocky Mountains to show compassion, decency and respect for living wolves, in Montana and throughout the Rockies. Ask Gov. Bullock to acknowledge the indispensable and positive role, wolves and every other natural predator performs in every healthy ecosystem. Ask him to protect America’s wolves.

Here are three ways to contact Governor Steve Bullock:
(Please be polite and respectful and consider doing all three. I was told he reads letters that are mailed to him directly.)

1. By Phone: 1-406-444-3111
2. By EMail: governor@mt.gov
3. By US Mail:
Governor Steve Bullock
Office of the Governor
PO Box 200801
Helena, Montana 59620

Thank you, for America’s ecologically vital and beautiful wolves,
Robert Goldman
Protect America’s Wolves!
http://signon.org/sign/protect-americas-wolves?mailing_id=8721&source=s.icn.em.cr&r_by=5415959

America’s wolves must be put back on the Endangered Species List. They are beautiful and are being senselessly slaughtered. My eleven year old daughter cried all day about this injustice. She loves the beauty and intelligence of the wolf. Please act and stop this slaughter of wolves immediately!
— Mary of Oklahoma

We have doomed the wolf not for what it is but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be: the mythologized epitome of a savage, ruthless killer — which is, in reality, not more than the reflected image of ourselves. We have made it the scapewolf for our own sins.
— Farley Mowat, from the preface of the 1993 editon of his book, Never Cry Wolf

____________________________________________

Montana is a big and beautiful state in the Northern Rocky Mountains of the United States. But during the past two years Montana’s politicians have allowed a minority of their more violent and heartless citizens, and like-minded others from outside the state, to persecute and kill over 300 innocent and ecologically vital wolves that lived within the state. In 2011, Montana’s own Division of Fish, Wildlife and Parks estimated the total wolf population there to be about 550 wolves.

There is a glimmer of hope, of positive change for wolves in Montana, and for all of us who respect and admire wolves and want them protected. Montana has a new Governor, Steve Bullock, who campaigned with reason and decency. He did not pander to the wolf haters and kept an open door to the many wolf defenders who met him.

Now, Governor Bullock has the opportunity to demonstrate right from the start that he is indeed a man and a leader who respects ecology, healthy ecosystems and the importance of natural predators, including wolves.

The Montana House of Representatives recently passed House Bill 73. This perverted bill is now before the Montana State Senate. It is intended to accelerate the torture and massacre of the remaining wolves in Montana. If passed and signed by Gov. Bullock, it will allow each sport killer to kill more wolves, reduce the cost of out of state licenses to kill wolves, allow sport killers to use electronic calls of wolf pups in distress to attract concerned wolves, allow killing of wolves on the perimeter of Yellowstone National Park with no buffer zone and on and on. The devil himself could have written this bill.

The facts speak for themselves:
There are approximately 2,500,000 cattle in Montana. In 2011, just 74 cattle were confirmed to be taken by wolves. 74 out of 2,500,000. That tiny tiny number is statistically zero. But, pathetic cattlemen continue to spread hysterical lies about wolves killing their non-native cattle in numbers too numerous to count. These same cattlemen rely on the ignorance and apathy of the general public, so they can continue their demonization and slaughter of America’s native wolves and coyotes and mountain lions and bison and wild horses and prairie dogs and anything else that moves.

As for elk, the principle prey of wolves in the Rockies, Montana had 90,000 elk before wolves returned to their native homeland in Montana. Today with wolves back on the land, the state of Montana estimates the current elk population at 140,000. More wolves equals more elk and the elk are much healthier now that wolves are keeping them on their toes, just as nature intended.

Wolves are vital, innocent, highly social, intelligent and family-oriented beings. It is humans that are the mass killers of wolves and every other animal they can shoot, trap, poison and destroy. It is ignorant and violent humans who must be managed and restrained, and who must finally learn to live on this Earth respectfully and with compassion for non-human beings who have as much right as humans to live and prosper across the planet we share.

Great News – You Did It Again – The Baby Elephant Calves (from the wild) Have Been Stopped Going To A Chinese Zoo !

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

You did it again folks ! – the elephant calves have been saved from the ordeal of spending their lives in a Chinese zoo.

Our recent post –

https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2013/01/11/very-urgent-action-required-to-stop-elephant-calves-being-sent-to-hell-hole-zoos-in-china-please-act-immediately-to-prevent-this/

Dear Mark,

The five wild-caught elephant calves due to be sent from Zimbabwe to Chinese zoos have been saved from a life of misery. They have been sent to a national park in Zimbabwe to be rehabilitated back into the wild.

Thank you for playing your part in this story and helping to convince the Zimbabwe authorities that these elephants deserve to live in the wild, not in captivity.

Thank you for supporting this campaign.

Dave

David Neale
Animal Welfare Director

PS: This victory is bittersweet, as sadly four wild-caught elephant calves arrived in China in November 2012. One of these has already died. Animals Asia, in partnership with Humane Society International, is offering advice and support to the zoos housing the remaining three elephants in the hope that we can improve their living conditions

Germany: If You Go Down To The Woods Today – You May Come Home In A Body Bag ! – And A German Government Who Do Nothing But Bow To Hunters.

Posted on January 29, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

January 2013 – German hunters have been out as usual killing everything that they are able to – this even includes shooting many (human species) people who have been out simply having a walk in or around the forests and the fields near their homes; the only problem being that they (people enjoying the countryside) were on the other side of the fields of crops and could not been seen by the hunters. The hunter, with out even verifying ‘his target’, assumed instead that they, the humans taking a walk, were wild boar or other natural and wild animals which were ‘game’ for their guns, and indiscriminately fired into the crops hoping for a kill – another to add to their useless tally. Sometimes they have hit humans, sometimes they have killed them. In Germany, a walk in the forest – if you go down to the woods today – can see you returning home, in a body bag.

But German legislation does not care about walkers being shot at, maimed or even killed by hunters– Merkel does not care – she bows continually to the pro-hunt lobby at every turn whilst ignoring the rights of normal citizens who wish to enjoy nature. Many of these citizens have been threatened by hunters whilst simply out walking; the hunters declaring that people ‘should get out of their area’, whilst at the same time using tactics such as threatening to shoot the citizens dogs if they do not obey what is said by the gun waving hunter – get out and stay out – I am here to kill and that is what I intend to do.

It is a very sick society, but unfortunately one that the German government bows to and does nothing to fight for its non-hunt citizens – in fact Merkel supports the pro hunt lobby and detests everything Green and Eco.

The Bayerische Staatsforsten“ – the Bavarian forestry administration – has just issued a magazine with the title “Waldjagd” (Forest Hunt).

So typical, this glorification of hunting, especially in this magazine. Bavaria ..

The German Red Fox Award“ is a prize awarded to members of the German furriers industry for designs using German fox fur.

Rich Bitch …

… Poor Bitch

The competition is part of the Duesseldorf trade fair “Jagd und Hund” (Hunting and Dog) from Tuesday next week through to February 3^rd. It is heavily supported and sponsored by the local Hunting Association and the publication mentioned above.

They want to push for more German fox fur being worn as fashion and to revitalise a traditional industry – that is also heavily supported by the German ministry for Trade at the Hong Kong Fur Fair (German Pavilion) every year.

Sadly, most article comments reflect a support for this ..

http://www.derwesten.de/staedte/dortmund/kuerschner-werben-auf-dortmunder-messe-jagd-und-hund-fuer-fuchspelz-id7533778.html

The lettering of the title is of especial interest .. This particular font is not used anyone in modern German writing. It was used up to, say, the 1940s – the time of the Nazis.

Indeed, the current German hunting legislation was formulated by “Reichsjaegermeister” (Reich’s hunting master) Hermann Goering.

A fact that fills many hunters, especially the older generation or those with a right-wing tendency (of which there are many among the hunters), with pride.

Question

A word to describe someone who hates animals but was unable to find one. What is the word that describes an animal hater?
by kazzzy on December 30th, 2007

Answer

I found “Misothery”, meaning a hatred and contempt for animals and animal-like aspects of nature. Misothery manifests itself in the form of animal exploitation, environmental degradation, etc. (from: http://www.animalsagenda.org/newcomers.asp)

Apparently it’s a word coined by animal rights activist Jim Mason. An interview excerpt:

Q. You have coined a term called “misothery”. What does this mean and is it related to misogyny at all?

A. The word misothery (miz OTH uh ree) is coined from two Greek words, misos, “hatred”, and ther, “wild beast” or “animal”. Thus it means, literally, “hatred of animals”. More broadly, it means hatred/contempt/despising of animals/animality/nature. It is very similar in construction, meaning and use to the more familiar word misogyny, which comes from the Greek root words misos and gune, “woman”. There are all too many examples of misogyny, of course. Maybe one of the most common is an attitude expressed in one of Norman Mailer’s works: “Most men who understand women at all feel hostile toward them. At their worst, women are low, sloppy beasts.” Plenty of other examples can be found in X-rated pornography and some of the writings of the Marquis de Sade and the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. These are hateful attitudes; they indicate strong contempt and loathing.

I coined misothery because I could find no word in the English language to express the similar sort of strong, negative feeling about animals, animality and nature. The word “speciesism” is too mild, as it means merely discrimination or inequality of regard. Similarly to “sexism” and “misogyny”, sexism is discrimination, un-equal treatment; misogyny is strong hatred and contempt for women. “Speciesism” connotes unequal regard for animals; “misothery” connotes vicious, strong, deep hatred and contempt for animals. For example, just look at “animal” in any dictionary: One meaning is “an inhuman person; brutish or beastlike person”, someone who is horribly cruel and violent. Other examples of misothery are our traditional attitude toward wolves, rats, snakes, cats, bats and other species who challenge us or threaten us in some way – or so we believe. (I say traditional because these attitudes are slowly changing in some places.)

Misothery arose in the first place as early agriculturalists learned to demystify and control the forces of nature–by clearing forests, damming rivers, irrigating crops, selecting seeds, and–above all–enslaving animals and controlling their lives. In that early stage, they still had the leftovers of the Paleolithic-era regard for animals as ensouled beings who represented the spirits and powers of a greater, more mysterious natural world. Animals were more or less sacred. As agriculturalists took over nature, they had to bring animals down off their pedestal, so to speak. They were needed not as gods, but as property and commodities. The old beliefs in the animal powers had to go in order to make way for animal slavery. As with any form of slavery, the slavers had to reduce the status and strip away the dignity of the enslaved. Thus misothery begins to be seen in the art, legends, myths and laws–the culture–of early agrarian societies. By the time history begins c. 3,000 BC, misothery (and misogyny) are overtaking and displacing the earlier views of animals (and women). (from: http://www.animalliberationfront.com/ALFront/Interviews/RITUALS%20OF%20DOMINIONISM%20-%20The%20Jim%20Mason%20Interview.htm)

Here (the one above and those below) are some very recent photos obtained from contacts across Germany which show the indiscriminate killing of wildlife by hunters. Killing which includes, fox, deer and wild boar. These animals once shot, are simply discarded into ‘disposal bins’ which are located throughout Germany to take the body of any animal.

There is no point to any of this apart from the German hunters wanting go into the frenzy of mass kill, like hunters everywhere !

Beautiful animals killed for no reason by ‘hunter mentals’ who have noting better in life to do other than take it from other living beings. Those who then simply discard their days activities into the bin – Job Done !

This is Germany 2013 – A good place for mass animal killers (including the current government); but a very bad place if you happen to be a civilised human out enjoying the countryside, just the same as a fox, deer or wild boar going about finding food and simply trying to survive.

Iran: Iranian Space Agency (ISA) to send monkeys into space.

Posted on January 26, 2013 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

The National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) has called plans by the Iranian Space Agency (ISA) to send monkeys into space in the coming weeks a pointlessly cruel and retrograde step in space research.

Recent news reports have stated that a number of primates are currently in quarantine and an unknown number will be sent into space at the beginning of February, during a 10-day period when the Iranian Revolution is commemorated. One article refers to a failed attempt to send a monkey into space in 2011 although no further details of this mission were given.

The use of primates in research will not enable the ISA, as it has claimed, to “examine human factors in space”. A critical review of research on primates has found that results can be “irrelevant, unnecessary, even hazardous to human health and to have little or no predictive value or application to human medicine.”

The ISA’s decision is at odds with the European Space Agency (ESA) which has distanced itself from the use of primates, previously commenting that “ESA declines any interest in monkey research and does not consider any need or use for such research results”. In 2010, NASA also abandoned plans to carry out radiation experiments on squirrel monkeys.

NAVS Chief Executive Jan Creamer: “If Iran continues with this mission, they will be taking a huge leap backwards for space research. Manned space missions provide a wealth of data, the benefits of which are incomparable to the use of animals. To press ahead with sending a monkey into space would be inexcusable.”

In the words of Soviet cosmonaut Valentin Lebedev, who set a world record for time in space, “The existing knowledge received from past experience of long time space flights is quite enough right now to predict their influence on people”.

UK / Netherlands: (UK) Live Export Policing Goes Over £400,000 in 18 Months – (NL) New Film Released Re EU Long Distance Live Animal Transport Investigations.

UK – Ramsgate animal export demos ‘cost £400,000 to police’

Officers have policed a series of protests since live exports moved to Ramsgate

Policing protests against live animal exports from Ramsgate has cost Kent Police more than £400,000 over the last 18 months, the force has revealed.

A report to Kent’s police and crime commissioner, Ann Barnes, showed there were 15 arrests and two police officers injured during demonstrations in 2012.

Ms Barnes said policing the protests was a “no-win situation”.

But Councillor Ian Driver, who is one of the protest organisers, said he believed police costs to be nearer £1m.

The issue of the export of livestock has caused controversy in Kent for decades, beginning in Dover.

Dover Harbour Board halted the trade in April 2011, prompting the move to Ramsgate which is owned by Thanet District Council.

‘Beyond peaceful protest’

The report, prepared by Chief Constable Ian Learmonth, said the primary role of Kent Police was to facilitate the lawful export trade and the right of people to protest peacefully.

But it said that events at Ramsgate in the latter half of 2012 went beyond peaceful protest.

Ms Barnes said if police deployed too few officers and someone got hurt they would be blamed, but if there were too many it would be considered a waste of money.

“They are in a bit of a no-win situation,” she said.

Councillor Ian Driver said he believed the full cost of policing was nearer £1m

“They have to put enough people there to make sure everybody is safe and to allow the trade to continue.

“Whatever we say, it is a legal trade. The protesters can’t stop it, Thanet Council can’t stop it and it has to be policed.”

But independent councillor Mr Driver disputed the police figures.

“The chief constable doesn’t count all the logistical support for policing the demonstration,” he said.

“He is not counting the cost of the intelligence gathering work and nor has he counted the legal costs to the police force.

“My figure is more like £1m that has been spent.”

Mr Driver also said that of the 15 arrests, five were “nothing whatsoever” to do with the protests.

“Of the other arrests only one person has gone to court, who went to appeal, and Kent Police’s case was thrown out,” he said.

And also, the EU is failing animals in transport – (Yet) another investigation shows.

One day possibly, the EU will actually do something positive for all the money it takes from member states. Animal transport is a huge issue within the EU, and we call for improvements and changes to be introduced immediately.

** WARNING ** – The following video link shows extreme animal suffering. This is the reality of long distance animal transport in some parts of the EU, and also from the EU to non member states such as Turkey.

(EN) Dearest donors and friends,

Today we are releasing a new film, that we made together with the Animal Welfare Foundation and Compassion in World Farming, to the media in Europe and Turkey. As you know, we use our reports, photos and videos to lobby and educate the European Commission, to complain to the Member State officials and to train the police so that more livestock trucks in violation are stopped and sanctioned.
But we hope that by sharing video- footage with animal-welfare campaign groups and with the media, we can get the world to know about these animals that become dehydrated, exhausted and scared during these difficult journeys.

The film has video scenes taken from our most recent investigations at the Turkish border, but also of EU animals going to other countries far away.
As usual, we are calling for an end to live export. Sadly, with the economy not doing well, most EU countries and even the European Union are promoting expanding the trade in live animals…I am afraid we will not win this fight but we must continue to make people aware. One day, this will all stop.

To view the new film, please click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH2LB5Xo0B0.

We would be really pleased if you could set it on your Facebook pages or other social media that you use. Passing it to friends and contacts by email as well.
Thank you for all your support and for caring,

(NL) Beste donateurs en vrienden,

Vandaag hebben wij een nieuwe film aangeboden aan de Europese en Turkse media die we samen met Animal Welfare Foundation en Compassion in World Farming hebben gemaakt. Zoals jullie weten gebruiken wij onze rapporten, foto’s en video’s als ondersteuning om de Europese Commissie te informeren en hun kennis te vergroten, om klachten te sturen naar officiële vertegenwoordigers van de lidstaten en om training te geven aan politie zodat zij meer veetransporten die de wet overtreden kunnen aanhouden en bekeuren. Maar wij hopen dat door het delen van ons materiaal met wat meer campagne gerichte dierenwelzijnsorganisaties en de media, wij de rest van de wereld kunnen laten zien hoe deze dieren er aan toe zijn: uitgedroogd, uitgeput en angstig tijdens deze vreselijke transporten.

De video bevat beelden van onze meest recente bezoeken aan de Turkse grens, maar ook van EU dieren die naar andere, nog verdere landen gaan. Zoals altijd verzoeken wij om een einde te maken aan deze transporten. Helaas, mede als gevolg van de economische crisis worden deze transporten door de meeste EU lidstaten evenals de Europese Unie, gepromoot en wil men zelfs uitbreiding van de export van levende dieren….. Ik ben bang dat we deze strijd gaan verliezen maar we moeten bezig blijven om de mensen zich bewust te laten worden van wat er zich afspeelt. Ooit zal er een einde aan komen.

Om de video te bekijken klik op http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH2LB5Xo0B0

Wij zouden het op prijs stellen als jullie de beelden op jullie Facebook pagina zetten of andere social media die jullie gebruiken. En geef het door per e-mail aan jullie vrienden.
(DE) Liebe Spender und Freunde,

heute veröffentlichen wir für die Medien in Europa und in der Türkei einen Film, den wir gemeinsam mit der Animal Welfare Foundation und der Compassion in World Farming erstellt haben. Wie Sie wissen, nutzen wir unsere Berichte, Fotos und Videos zur Lobbyarbeit und zur Aufklärung der Europäischen Kommission, für Beschwerdeschreiben an Mitgliedsstaaten und für Schulungen der Autobahnpolizei, damit mehr gesetzeswidrige Transporte gestoppt und geahndet werden können.

Wir wollen unser Filmmaterial mit anderen Tierschutzorganisationen und Medien teilen, damit die Welt von den Tieren erfährt, die auf diesen schwierigen Exportrouten unter Durst, Erschöpfung und Angstzuständen leiden.

Er beinhaltet Filmmaterial von unserem jüngsten Einsatz an der Türkischen Grenze, aber auch von Tieren aus der EU, die in andere ferne Länder exportiert werden. Wir fordern auch diesmal das Ende von Lebendtierexporten. Da die Wirtschaft aber schwächelt, fordern die meisten EU-Länder und sogar die Europäische Union den Ausbau des Handels mit lebenden Tieren…Ich befürchte, dass wir diesen Kampf nicht gewinnen können, aber wir müssen die Menschen weiterhin darauf Aufmerksam machen. Eines Tages wir dies ein Ende haben.

Klicken Sie bitte auf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH2LB5Xo0B0 um sich den neuen Film anzusehen.

Wir würden uns wirklich sehr darüber freuen, wenn sie unseren Film auf ihre Facebook-Seite oder auf andere soziale Netzwerke, die sie verwenden, posten. Oder ihn einfach per E-mail an Freunde und Bekannte weiterleiten.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung und Ihr Mitgefühl!
