USA: “It is more dangerous for a dog in a U.S. animal shelter than it is in war torn Afghanistan.”

The Killing of a Hero

“It is more dangerous for a dog in a U.S. animal shelter than it is in war torn Afghanistan.”

 

That is the conclusion of many heartbroken animal lovers as they found out an Arizona shelter killed a dog who saved American soldiers from a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

The shelter calls it a “mistake,” but killing is not a “mistake” when it happens all of the time, all over the place.

While our hearts go out to the family of that poor dog, killing an animal is no less tragic because someone says a particular dog (or cat or rabbit or other animal) is unwanted. The killing of four million animals every year in our nation’s regressive pounds and “shelters” is a needless travesty that can and must be brought to an end.

Join our fight to end the systematic killing of animals in shelters. The power to change the status quo is in your hands. Learn how to reform our broken animal shelter system by clicking here.

SAMPLE LETTER

I was very shocked when I saw the documented shocking pictures of dogs lying like a heap of bare bones, dogs with gaping wounds and pieces of flesh missing from their sides, their ribs exposed and broken. This is happening in KIELCE .
http://uwaga.onet.pl/215655,reportaze,gehenna_zwierzat_1,wideo_detal.html

Puppies eaten alive by desperation and starvation of others. Still others dying an agonizing, slow death while foaming at the mouth and trembling. Many are routinely kicked and beaten to death by impatient staff.  While some are simply bitten to death in a struggle for survival in a place where survival is momentary.

The SHELTER IN KIELCE is a stain on Poland’s conscience and our Silence would be a sign of Passive Acceptance.

The IMAGES in these photos speak volumes – more than the words we could ever place on this paper – our people’s hearts and consciences are wounded by the constant images of such unforgivable ACTS OF CRUELTY against these innocent and loving creatures considered man’s best friends

It is our MISSION to send a CLEAR MESSAGE that TORTURE AND MASSACRE of the animals in your country can NO LONGER BE TOLERATED AND IGNORED AND UNOFFICIALLY LEGALIZED BY THE INDIFFERENCE on the part of the authorities in charge.

KILLING dogs by methods of systematic starvation, beatings and providing no medical treatment is NOT AN ACCEPTABLE form of controlling the homeless population of unwanted animals in a country that is part of the EUROPEAN UNION.

The ULTIMATE HUMANE SOLUTION lies in SPAY AND NEUTER PROGRAMS.

We urge you to make every EFFORT to create a PRECEDENT in your country and show the world that POLAND will no longer tolerate nor accept excuses for animals abuse within its borders.
Your shelters need to be in line with the Directives specified in the European Union Protocol on Animal Protection.

Yours sincerely,

Your name and nationality

Australia: Call for an END to Live Animal Export

Posted on November 15, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

http://www.animalsaustralia.org/take_action/festival-of-sacrifice/

This week marks one of the darkest times on the animal welfare calendar as the Festival of Sacrifice commences in the Middle East. Tragically, hundreds of thousands of exported Australian animals will be amongst the millions of animals who are sacrificed during religious celebrations at the end of the Hajj.

In the same way that Christmas has become the peak time of animal suffering in the West with vast numbers of factory farmed animals slaughtered for Christmas celebrations, the Festival of Sacrifice is the worst time of animal suffering throughout the Middle East.

Islamic teachings speak to the importance of humane treatment of animals, but the sheer numbers of animals bought and sacrificed inevitably leads to cruelty on a massive scale as the welfare of individual animals is forgotten.

It is common practice for purchased sheep to be bound, shoved into car boots or loaded onto the back of utes, before suffering a terrifying death on the morning of the Eid; their throats are cut whilst fully conscious, often by inexperienced slaughtermen in private premises or by exhausted abattoir workers who are working at ten times their normal capacity.

It was evidence obtained by Animals Australia investigators of the brutal treatment of Australian sheep in Egypt during this festival that forced the Federal government to ban the live sheep trade to Egypt. Despite similar graphic evidence being documented in other Middle Eastern countries, the Federal government continues to allow animals to be exported to the region.

Please click here to call on your local Federal member of parliament to use their power to urge Prime Minister Gillard and Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig to ban the cruel live export trade.

SAV Comment:

Live animal exports is one of the most disgusting abuses of animals that can be imagined. I have personally been involved with live animal exports from the UK for well over 20 years now, and have seen the untold cruelty firsthand that this business creates. I, on your behalf of all UK anti-export campaigners, wish animal friends at Animals Australia every success in their campaign to stop the untold suffering of animals exported from Australia to the Middle East.

One thing can be assured; in the end they will be victorious.

Uk: Maria and Paul Produce a Musical Tribute to the Memory of Jollity Farm

Posted on November 14, 2010 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

No other could have written and recorded such an amazing song for and in memory of our Jollity Farm by Maria Daines and Paul Killington

To listen go to http://www.maria-daines.com/music-112.html and click on MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband) to listen to the song

The words ………….

JOLLITY FARM

I been tryin’ to write this song, too long
Feels like breakin’ an arm
Something’s stirrin’ in my heart, long gone
I’m goin’ home, to my Jollity Farm

Someone took away my home, hard as stone
Cut me to the bone
Now I wander in the blue, because of you
I never felt so alone

Some folks fall n’ some folks cry
You’ll see hardship in their eyes
They’ll stand tall to do what’s right
Some give up n’ some give in
And I know just where you been
Your gentle heart will bear the fight

I saw Alfy in my dreams, sweet dreams
Never saw love so true
I know heaven ain’t so far, too far
For someone good as you

People hurt n’ people change, not you
Your love stays the same
If I’m comin’ home today, well it ain’t far
I’m comin’ home, to my Jollity Farm

Progress swept away your land, good land
Cast those wicked deeds
Broke your hearts n’ wrecked your plans, oh man
Blew away the seeds

But I know you are fightin’ still, you always will
Keepin’ life from harm
You put that flag back on the hill, yeah you rebuilt
Yeah you rebuilt, our Jollity Farm…
