Labor move to end live exports grows

Gabrielle Dunlevy

October 12, 2010 – 9:09PM

Another federal Labor MP has joined calls to phase out live animal exports, with Fremantle MP Melissa Parke speaking out at a rally in her Western Australian electorate.

Ms Parke has joined animal welfare activists, meatworkers and union leaders to call for the end of the trade for both ethical and economic reasons.

It comes as Labor MP for the NSW north coast seat of Page, Janelle Saffin, plans a notice of motion against live cattle exports, which Ms Parke says she will support, along with Labor MP for the Tasmanian seat of Lyons, Dick Adams.

Now is a good time to take a little look back at what has been happening since SAV was formed.

In the last few weeks we have gone through 100,000 visitors to the site – 103,000 to date to be exact.

You have provided us with 1,832 comments and we have posted 947 articles (posts) onto the site, broken down into the 25 different categories which we have in the site.

For visitors who are not familiar with the set up, you can go to the drop down shown as :

‘a – Select Category’ on the right hand side of the page.  Using the drop down, you can then select any one of the 25 categories which we have on the site.

The Clustrmap  http://www4.clustrmaps.com/counter/maps.php?user=9b44b4e0  shows the latest visitors to the site, and their country of origin.  Note that this is archived on a regular basis and so the visitor figures given do not comply with the actual overall totals.

Below are copies of just some of the hundreds of photographs which we have on file showing the suffering of animals throughout the Balkans.  Animal suffering happens the world over, but we were founded to be a voice for Serbian and Balkans animals, and so it is this location that we primarily concentrate on.

Using the category drop down detailed above, you can visit any particular nation which is of interest to you – Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.  There is a lot of information contained in these categories should you wish to have a look.

We have not yet achieved the goal that we set out for for the stray animals of the Balkans.  That will take time.  But we will never hold back on exposing the corruption and cruelty that is widespread throughout the Balkans states.  Stray animals are suffering and dying when the law declares that they should be treated with respect and humane treatment.  The authorities are regularly attempting to close down stray animal shelters so that those persons who have a vested interest in stray animal control, and who are associated with the local authorities, can continue their vile trade of inflicting suffering and death on innocent animals.

We have several important things going on at the moment and these will be made known via this site as and when the time is right.  The next day or two are especially important for one campaigner in Serbia.  We will provide more information in the coming week.

Thanks for your continued support and for being a voice for Balkans animals.  With many Balkans states now seeking EU membership, we gather heart in the fact that with our good, important and legal contacts within the EU that we know through other animal investigation work, the future is going to be very much working for us.  Animal abusers will not hide at the expense of inflicting animal suffering.  We will attempt to seek them out and to provide all the evidence that we have to you via this site.

It is the government and the authorities who need to change their policy, not us.

As President Harry Trueman once said;

“I never give them hell; I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell”.

We intend to continue telling the truth.

And eventually, we will win for the animals.

Please, be a voice for animals in the Balkans;

Together we CAN make a difference.

Regards – SAV.

UPDATE 1430hrs GMT 09/10/10.

Dear all;

Just a note to inform you that we have been experiencing major computer ISP problems for the last 2 – 3 days.  As a result, it has not been possible to put any updates onto SAV.

It has been a worrying time this last week regarding important animal issues and Monday 11/10  will see things either work for or against us.  When the result of next Mondays actions are known, we will then provide an account of happenings
