Well finally; and much too late in my own opinion; Platform No. 2 at Dartford station, Kent, South East England; has finally erected a plaque in memory of the place where one Mick Jagger met with a young Keith Richards on October 17th 1961 – and a friendship which went on to become known throughout the world as the ‘Rolling Stones’.
SAV founder Mark is also a born and bred Kent – Dartford lad; having been born in the outskirts of the Borough.
Here is the article from the local newspaper – the KM Extra, dated 10th February 2015, showing the sign which now stands on the station platform, and also a close up of the wording.
Dartford has the ‘Mick Jagger Centre’ http://www.themickjaggercentre.com/ which was named in tribute to Mick and which hosts a huge amount of musical guests.
Location – Dartford is in the County of ‘Kent’, which is South East of London. The station is a regular for all Kent commuters heading into London for work each day.

The Chinese authorities don’t want this video to be seen – they have confiscated mobile phones from those filming protests in Yushu. But one Tibetan has managed to smuggle this out.
Tibetans whose houses were destroyed by a major 2010 earthquake have been ordered to pay the authorities for reconstruction, despite funds coming from international donations.
Police have flooded the area, eight Tibetans have been arrested and others threatened if they fail to pay.
Protests over land rights and the environment are growing in Tibet.
Tsepak and Jigshi Kyab (pictured above) have been arrested after protesting land confiscations, after the local authorities broke promises to resolve their grievances.
They held banners saying “We will protect our land even at the cost of our lives”.
This month a new report from our research partner Tibet Watch highlighted the authorities’ repressive and often violent response to environmental protests in recent years.

SAV Comment:
Obviously money is more important than anything else – so they think – bugger wildlife and the beauty it brings – Kill, kill, kill – we are humans after all !!
Here we go again – not being happy at slaughtering seals every year, Canada is now adding wolf slaughter to its cv.
Keep howling and sign the petition please. Make the government act for once against the real abusers – the logging industry.
——————————
Petition Link:
The government is killing wolves again, supposedly in the name of conservation. This brutal slaughter has been going on for years – more than 1,000 wolves in Alberta have already been shot, poisoned or strangled.
The government says that the killings are necessary to save woodland caribou. But in fact, caribou are endangered because industrial logging and oil and gas development has destroyed their habitat.
Rather than fixing the real threat to caribou, the government is blaming wolves and using this justification to kill them.
The government won’t stop this barbaric cull unless they hear from enough people demanding protection for the wolves.
Thank you,
Cate H.

Dear Mark,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to share the news – the Grand Canyon wolf is dead.
DNA analysis confirms that the female wolf shot and killed on December 28th in Utah was the same wolf that some in the Southwest had nicknamed “Echo.”
Not long ago, she captured the world’s imagination by showing up on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon – hundreds of miles from her birthplace in the Northern Rockies. She was the first wild wolf to see the Grand Canyon in 70 years.
Her death is a cautionary tale – a glimpse into the dark future facing so many of America’s wolves if the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service goes through with its proposed national delisting.
I know you love wolves as much as I do. So won’t you please make a generous donation today to Defenders of Wildlife – for the wolves and other vulnerable wildlife?
We’re fighting a multi-front war for America’s wolves – in Washington, D.C., in the field, and in rogue states like Idaho. No one fights for the wolves you love harder than Defenders. But we can’t do it alone.
That wolf travelled hundreds of miles from her Northern Rockies home in search of new habitat and a mate. That’s what healthy wolves do. She reminded us all of the resilience of these magnificent animals. But her tragic death also reminds us that wolves need continued protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Please donate today to help us continue our all-out fight for America’s wolves!
Thank you for your passion and your commitment.
Sincerely,
Jamie Rappaport Clark
President
Defenders of Wildlife

Dear all;
In addition to this site; on which EVERYTHING is vetted and approved before posting; we also have an SAV Facebook site with very many ‘animal welfare’ members who put out appeals and requests for help; in addition to showing the excellent work they are doing to help animals in need.
Like this site, SAV Facebook should be completely geared towards helping animals, nothing more, nothing less.
We (at SAV) are provided with new SAV Facebook members requests to join up in advance of final approval. We have certain things to go with, and usually you can get a ‘feel’ for the person wishing to join. Currently on SAV Facebook we have around 1,149 members.
Usaually we do not have any problems and are very keen to welcome new members into the group. But sometimes; at odd times, you do get someone who applies to join; and despite doing what you can by checking them out a bit in advance, they end up joining for reasons other than animal welfare.
Today we have approved 3 new members – 2 of them we are very keen to welcome; but the latest ‘member’ who was approved tonight immediately (within 5 minutes) started to load porno video and footage onto the site.
We hopefully stepped in within a few minutes to remove all the footage from SAV Facebook; and also to block the person from ever posting anything more onto the site.
Yup, tonight we were duped – by someone who obviously has no interest in animal welfare; but who wants to infiltrate and show their pervy videos and footage onto the SAV Facebook site.
Hopefully, within an hour of getting approved; this perv has now been completely blocked from future actions.
You see some come and you see some go – life plays out that way.
But we are trying to do basic checks on people and all requests for membership prior to giving them approval to join the SAV Facebook group. Unfortunately, you always get the odd one who tries to get through in order to put something of no interest to most members onto the site and tonight it happened.
Stick with us; we are trying to validate all people, but sometimes you can be sent a few ‘benders’ to throw you off track during the approval process. But we can deal with it; and as tonight’s new porno info shows, we can and will take action to remove it asap !
We continue to always welcome new SAV Facebook members requests to join up – we try to deal with them on the same day as the request was made. So keep on; don’t let this event put anyone off – as we say; people who try to infiltrate for reasons other than animal welfare issues will be blocked as soon as we are able !
I hope this gives you an insight into what we are trying to do on SAV Facebook.We will always continue to welcome new animal welfare supporters to the site; so contact us if you wish to join.
Regards Mark
For all your ANIMAL WELFARE issues !!

Please share and help if you can!
Repic Lepic is seriously ill.
He stopped eating a few days ago, he’s rapidly losing weight, his coat is poor and dull and he looks all shaggy and miserable. When he was taken to the vet, it turned out his body temperature was 35.9 C, he was utterly dehydrated and is suspected to have bronchial pneumonia.
He’s been receiving IV fluids for hours every single day since Thursday and is also being given Longaceph and sulphonamide antibiotics.
His nose was totally stuffed up before treatment and it was necessary to clear out the mucus from his throat and nose – as soon as he began to breathe easier, he already looked much more lively.
Repic endured a horrific ordeal and was forced to live through a nightmare during the first five months of his life. While he was living on the street somebody tried to pull his eye out, so he underwent surgery.
His eye has been saved, but the vision in that right eye is gone forever. A few months later, some male cats raped him and he returned home all bruised and bitten. Quite understandably, he is shy, withdrawn and not people friendly, so he only lets strangers touch him when he is very unwell.
Please, help us provide this beautiful kitty boy with all the medical care he needs!
We couldn’t help him avoid suffering what happened when he was little, but we certainly can help him now!
Anything you’re able to contribute towards his care adds up and means a lot!
