LONDON – Anti Hunt March / Demo. 29/5/17 – Bank Holiday Monday. Post Machester Bombings; Security Is Very High. Take Note Of General Rules Below.
Posted on May 27, 2017 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
ENJOY THE MARCH / DEMO, BUT TAKE NOTE THAT AFTER THE BOMBINGS IN MANCHESTER earlier this week, public events security is massive – military and police. Help to make it go well by adhering to a few rules – enjoy but make it safe.
We have a proud democracy here in the UK – this event could easily have been stopped by the police after recent events; but we are allowed to continue. Follow the rules – don’t give the pro hunters anything to use against us antis – they would love that. Follow the simple rules and keep it safe – SAV.
As far as we know, the London anti hunt march is STILL ON – Bank Holiday Monday.
Police and military will be on patrol over the City – so make it all go as good as it could.
Because of the terrible Manchester events earlier this week, security is obviously higher. The UK is at its highest security level post Manchester bombings – so please help to make life easier for all military security and police concerned.
The following has been put out – please take note of what it says.
“MARCH/DEMO GOING AHEAD.
The police have confirmed they will be bringing sniffer dogs into the crowd at the start of the anti hunt protest on Bank Holiday Monday.
The dogs will be searching for explosive devices this is a precaution being used for all public events under the heightened security threat.
The police are also asking all attendees not to bring flares to the protest. These have been used at anti hunt protests in the past, but anyone letting off a flare or attempting to throw one will be putting themselves and other people at risk.
Any loud bangs or smoke could lead to panic by the wider public and a reaction by armed police or soldiers along our march route.
Can I therefore call on everyone attending the march to please not bring any flares with them.”

UK: Conservatives To U Turn On Ivory Ban – Please Take Action Before the 8th June Election.
Posted on May 26, 2017 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
SAV Comment – Typical Tory elite getting what they want and to hell with the rest of the people. Don’t vote Conservative on 8th June if you support animal welfare – the Tories just want to destroy everything – and bringing back hunting is just one other example. Disgusting Party – Disgusting People.
Theresa May – HONOUR The Conservative PLEDGE To End The UK Ivory Trade
Under David Cameron the Conservatives had pledged – along with other UK political parties – to put into place a ban on ivory trading. This follows bans by China, the US and other important ivory trading countries to end domestic trades in ivory by the end of 2017.
But there is no mention of the ban in Theresa May’s Conservative 2017 manifesto. Sneakily,
the Conservatives have decided to DROP their previous commitment to introducing a total ban on ivory trade in Britain. This comes after heavy pressure from wealthy antiques traders who have been lobbying Theresa May hard to drop the ban on ivory.
The most powerful UK antique traders association is the British Antique Dealers’ Association – whose president is Conservative MP and friend of Theresa May, Lady Victoria Borwick.
On average, an Elephant is killed every 15 minutes for its ivory and their population has fallen by almost a third in Africa since 2007.
Interestingly, this policy puts the Conservatives in direct conflict with Prince William, who has been a vocal supporter of a total ban on ivory sales.
Please sign the petition and URGE Theresa May to HONOUR their earlier pledge to ban the UK ivory trade.
Petition link – please sign:

England: Kent Cricket Coach Talks About Why He Is Vegan.
Posted on May 20, 2017 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
SAV are based in the county of Kent, England.
Kent is known as ‘The Garden of England’ because of all the beautiful fruit which is produced there. Amazing strawberries ! – Yum.
The county emblem is a White Horse.
Kent Strawberries

Jason Gillespie, who was just signed by Kent’s coaching team after overseeing Yorkshire’s back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015, is now also coaching fans on the benefits of plant-based eating.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUTj8iJ2e9o
In a new video for PETA, the cricketer reveals the documentary that made him go vegan – Earthlings – and shares his thoughts on the rise of the “meat-free athlete”:
Athletes are increasingly coming to the correct conclusion that you can get all the nutrients you need from a whole-food plant-based diet, and they’re recovering better, they’re feeling good, they’re feeling fit and strong.
There’s nothing macho about treating animals terribly, and there’s nothing macho about putting your health at risk. There’s nothing macho about polluting the Earth. We’re all here on this one marble, and we just got to work together.

India: Urge India to Close Facilities That Drain Blood From Horses and Donkeys.

Urge India to Close Facilities That Drain Blood From Horses and Donkeys
These cruel equine-serum facilities keep animals in barren, crowded sheds and extract large amounts of blood from them to manufacture drugs.
http://action.peta.org.uk/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=5&ea.campaign.id=54506&utm_campaign=VIV%20horse%20serum%20&utm_source=ENews%20Email&utm_medium=Promo
Video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcP0HYcd1YU
In 2015, veterinarians and a scientist from PETA India, as well as other experts, inspected ten facilities that produce antitoxins and antivenins.
With the exception of one that outsources its work, all the facilities extract large volumes of blood from horses, donkeys, or mules. The inspectors documented many distressing problems, including the following:
· Animals were suffering from anaemia, bleeding and infected wounds, and other serious health problems.
· Other common physical problems included diseased hooves, malnourishment, infections, parasites, swollen limbs, abnormal gaits, and eye conditions, such as blindness.
· The facilities often used painfully large needles in order to collect blood more quickly.
· Many horses were fearful and anxious and struggled to get away when approached by humans.
· Animals were typically kept in crowded, barren paddocks and often tied with ropes that severely limited their movement.
· Many were forced to stand and lie in their own urine and faeces, and some suffered from “capped elbow”, a painful inflammation and swelling of the joint caused by lying on hard floors.
· Basic husbandry procedures such as dental care and hoof trimming appeared to be ignored, and improper tools were used for grooming.
· There were numerous apparent violations of laws and guidelines, such as the failure of facilities to be registered to conduct these procedures on animals.
Indian law requires people who are responsible for animals to take all reasonable measures to ensure their well-being and to prevent unnecessary pain or suffering – in stark contrast to the abuse and neglect documented at these facilities.
Please speak out for these animals! Ask Indian authorities to close these cruel facilities

South Africa: The Ostrich Killing Capital of the World – Take Action: Tell Hermès and Prada to Ditch Exotic Skins.

Take Action: Tell Hermès and Prada to Ditch Exotic Skins
http://action.peta.org.uk/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=5&ea.campaign.id=46979&utm_campaign=SKINS%20prada%20and%20hermes&utm_source=ENews%20Email&utm_medium=Promo
Exposed: Young Ostriches Butchered for ‘Luxury’ Bags
Never-before-seen footage shows how birds are shoved into boxes and have their throats slit at slaughterhouses that supply Hermès, Prada and other “luxury” fashion houses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-ZFejgqniw
Take action to help these gentle, curious birds.
In September 2015, PETA US investigators travelled to South Africa to document what happens inside the largest ostrich slaughter companies in the world, including the exclusive supplier of ostrich skins for Hermès Birkin bags. Investigators saw workers force terrified ostriches into stun boxes – causing many to slip and fall – and then slit their throats. The ostriches next in line watched helplessly as their flockmates were killed right in front of them.
Workers were caught on camera striking ostriches in the face during transport, and when ostriches stumbled over a collapsed flockmate outside a slaughterhouse, a plant director joked, “I’ll call the animal welfare officer just now”.
These slaughterhouses supply ostrich skins to Hermès, Prada, Louis Vuitton and other top European fashion houses. Feathers, some of which are ripped out of the ostriches’ skin while they are fully conscious, are used in costumes for the Moulin Rouge and festivals like Brazil’s Rio Carnival as well as in feather dusters, boas and accessories. Ostrich meat is also sold throughout South Africa and exported primarily to Europe.
South Africa: The Ostrich Killing Capital of the World
The Western Cape of South Africa is home to the largest ostrich slaughter companies in the world, which supply “luxury” ostrich skins to Hermès and other major fashion houses.
PETA US investigators saw the juvenile birds tightly packed into open-topped vehicles for the terrifying journey to slaughter. Once they reach the slaughterhouse, workers forcibly restrain each bird, electrically stun them and then cut their throats. Moments later, the feathers are torn off the birds’ still-warm bodies, they are skinned and dismembered.
The Intelligent Ostrich
While ostriches can live for more than 40 years, farmed ostriches are slaughtered when they are just 1 year old. And while young ostriches typically stay with their parents for up to three years, ostriches raised on factory farms will never even get to meet their parents.
In the wild, these intelligent birds share parental duties, with the camouflaged mother taking care of the eggs during the daytime and the father, who has black feathers, taking night-time duty. One farm manager told our investigators that he has seen ostriches take turns fanning each other on hot days, remarking, “I have a lot of respect for ostrich”.
