Stop the lies, stop the suffering.
Action required BEFORE 17th January – please act now.
Dear Mark,
We need your help.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is once again putting corporate interests ahead of animal welfare and consumer rights.
In December, the USDA announced plans to scrap the Organic Animal Rule requiring organic farmers to raise their animals more humanely than animals on factory farms. The agency seems determined to ignore the fact that tens of thousands of you spoke up over many years in support of the new rule.
As required by law, USDA has opened one last comment period before it intends to pull the plug for good.
We only have until January 17 to tell it that this decision is irresponsible and unacceptable.
Most people assume that “USDA Organic” farm animals spend time outdoors, with the sun on their backs and grass beneath them. But in reality, the Organic program has only a handful of poorly defined, completely inadequate animal care standards.
Some large-scale “organic” farms take advantage of this and keep animals crammed indoors. The Organic Animal Rule would finally define outdoor access and provide other basic protections for farm animals so all organic farms would be required to give their animals better lives.
If the USDA succeeds in killing this rule, it would put the 100 million animals raised on organic farms each year in danger and prioritize the profits of a few companies at the expense of consumers, who expect better when they pay a premium for Organic products.
We have just over one week left to fight back, so please take action before it’s too late.
If you believe farm animals deserve to be treated humanely, please visit ASPCA.org to quickly and easily submit a comment to the USDA demanding the Organic Rule be implemented as promised.

Maybe the Canadian government in its ignorance thinks that chicken should be frozen BEFORE it arrives at the slaughterhouse !!
Condemned by animal advocates as the worst in the Western world, Canada’s farmed-animal-transport regulations permit incredible suffering, and this becomes most apparent during times of extreme weather.
Decades old, the regulations are the worst in the Western world, lagging behind the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and even the United States.
Largely as a result of Canada’s weak regulations,
8.4 MILLION animals in 2013 arrived at slaughterhouses dead from the arduous journey,
Right now countless animals are freezing to death on transport trucks.
It’s legal in Canada to truck animals to slaughter in open-sided trucks—even in EXTREME cold.
How messed up is that?
“Workers at Canada’s largest slaughterhouse, Maple Lodge Farms, which kills half a million chickens every day, have described chickens arriving to slaughter, frozen solid like “hockey pucks” and “popsicles”.
Government statistics show at least 1.59 million animals arriving dead at slaughterhouses every year.”

UPDATE 7/1/18
SAV Comment – If she thinks a free vote on killing wildlife is going to get her re-elected; then she should think again. Over 80% of the British public support the continuation of the hunting ban. Note she says a ‘clear message’ has been sent from the public. And many of those want to see the ban strengthened. Is Mrs May showing signs for once of listening to the public ?
Theresa May has dropped a manifesto pledge to hold a vote on the fox-hunting ban during this parliament.
The Tories had promised a vote on repealing the Hunting Act – which bans the use of dogs to hunt foxes and wild mammals in England and Wales – during the 2017 general election campaign.
But the prime minister told BBC One’s Andrew Marr Show there was a “clear message” against it from the public.
“I think there was a clear message about that and that’s why I say there won’t be a vote on fox-hunting during this parliament.”
Labour said the move was “long overdue” and called on ministers to take tough action against those who continue to conduct illegal fox hunts.
The League Against Cruel Sports said hunting was a “barbaric” practice “which still sees British wildlife being torn to pieces by packs of hounds”.
“It appears that the government now accepts that cruel sports should no longer be a part of 21st Century society so it’s good to know they won’t try to legalise it again in this Parliament, though they may try again in the next,” said spokesman Chris Pitt.
The group also called for stronger action against illegal hunting which it said was being carried out in the name of “trail hunting”.
Mrs May’s predecessor, David Cameron, (Below), had promised a free vote on whether to repeal the ban in England and Wales when he was in power, but it never materialised.

We’ve just hit 15 million users in the UK!
That’s one fifth of the population signing petitions, standing up against injustice and creating unbelievable change.
Please consider calling and getting friends, family, and associates to make polite phone calls to Marado Sushi at 905-707-0546 and Gal’s Sushi at 905-597-0176, urging them to remove live animals from their menus.
At Marado Sushi in Toronto, (Just Google search the name for full details) PETA captured footage of a chef crudely hacking off the arms and legs of a flailing octopus.
The writhing limbs were then served to diners in a dish called “sannakji.” We filed a complaint with the Ontario SPCA, which—agreeing that octopuses are protected by cruelty-to-animals legislation—promptly informed Marado Sushi of the law.
But Marado Sushi continues to serve sannakji by chopping the heads off live octopuses before dicing up their limbs, and other restaurants continue to mutilate and serve live animals.
Others “prepare” live shrimp and lobsters by cutting off their tails and plating them next to their flailing heads—all for the sake of diners’ entertainment.
Please speak out against butchering and serving live animals.
Join us in urging Toronto restaurants to stop butchering and
serving live animals.
Together, we can prevent an enormous amount of suffering.

(The second incident was in France)
“A hunter was attacked by a boar on a trail hunt near Greifswald and seriously injured”.
During a trail hunt in the Greifswald area, a 50-year-old man was attacked by a boar after a gunshot and was seriously injured.
After the attack he plunged with his head into the lake where he was hunting and stayed there a few minutes with his head in the water.
He later died in the hospital, the animal escaped “.
“Villagers expel hunters and save deer.”
A hobby hunter got an important lesson in a small-town Oise (France) when his hunt ended on a garden plot.
Sweaty wet, with a bloody tongue and trembling joints, a stately deer stands in the middle of the garden. Surrounded by barking hounds, he fears for his life, trembling. The hunter responsible for this situation is some distance away.
Although the animal is in firing position, he does not shoot. The reason: About thirty people have stood between the panic animal and the hunter. The deer was on the run from the hunter’s aggressive dogs, who had previously shot the animal in the forest and wanted to finally settle it in the garden.
But he had the bill made without the host, because the thirty inhabitants did not want to release the animal.
Finally, the mayor of the village came and persuade the hunter to leave.
That’s what I call civil courage, we all have to learn that too.
Because the good news is rarely brought by chance, as in the first case, but they are mostly results of our commitment, our courage.
In any case, these two messages have brought much greater relaxation in my body today than the relax training should bring out.
Or better formulated: who needs relax after such beautiful news …
