Petition Wording:

A Request for Royal Intervention to Save and Protect the Animals of Morocco

Target:

His Majesty King Mohammed VI Of Morocco

Sponsored by: 

Serbian Animals Voice https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/ 

To request direct intervention by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to prevent the terrible suffering of animals throughout Morocco.

With intervention by His Majesty to greatly improve animal welfare in Morocco, we feel that this would greatly attract many more tourists to the country – tourists who have recently been shocked by the terrible treatment of animals and who will never return because of what they have seen.

With intervention by His Majesty to greatly improve animal welfare in Morocco, we feel that this would greatly attract many more tourists to the country – tourists who have recently been shocked by the terrible treatment of animals and who will never return because of what they have seen.

Your Majesty King Mohammed VI,

Many of the signators of the petition which is presented here are citizens from around the World who have visited Morocco for their holiday(s).

Whilst very much enjoying their stay in Morocco, many of them have been deeply shocked by witnessing the terrible suffering inflicted on many animals %u2013 donkeys and horses are left standing and hobbled in the midday sun while their owners rest in the shade; and the terrible condition of harnesses which these animals are fitted with, very often comprising terrible wooden homemade yokes which are not adequate or suitable for the work which the animals are expected to undertake.

Animals are also regularly seen to have ulcerated eyes and open and festering wounds to many parts of their bodies; despite this, they are still beaten by the owners with wooden sticks the thickness of a young childs arm.

Cows are tethered on the back of trucks with ropes less than 6 inches (15cm) long; they are left standing in the blazing sun for hours at a time, crying out for water and shade.

Throughout most towns and cities in Morocco, street animals (cats and dogs) suffer most terribly.  Local authorities are poisoning stray dogs and cats on a nightly basis using Strychnine poison put onto scraps of food to lure (bait) the animals.  They die long and terrible deaths as a result of eating this bait.  Please see petition photo which shows a dog in the City of Khenifra that has been poisoned using Strychnine.

Dogs and cats very close to Marrakech (within a 30km radius) are now being killed with Strychnine poison.  In several cities, dogs are also being killed by gunshot.  Unfortunately, some of them are still alive when they are buried.

We call on you sir, Your Majesty, to please act immediately and stop the daily abuses suffered by the majority of animals throughout Morocco. 

Your majesty, you are a kind and compassionate man; we ask that your compassion be given to other living beings.

We have faith Sir that this petition will result in your intervention which will help the animals of Morocco being treated with more care and respect.

Thank You very much, Your Majesty.

Petition Wording:

Existing EU member nations require proofof Balkans states application of democracy and the rule of Law

Target:

European Union Enlargement Commissioner: Olli Rehn

Sponsored by: 

Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)  https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/

loz1

Several Balkans states are now seeking either full membership (Accession) to the European Union (EU), or are attempting stronger links with the EU.

These include:  Republic of Macedonia,  Montenegro,  Serbia,  Bosnia
and Herzegovina,  Croatia and Kosovo.

Serbian Animals Voice (SAV) has been campaigning for the improved welfare of Balkans animals for several years.  We have extensive experience and data relating to the terrible daily suffering inflicted on animals, despite existing Balkan states national legislation which should legally prevent much of this.  There is very little evidence to show political and municipal authority enforcement of animal welfare legislation. %u2013 details of this on a %u2018nation by nation%u2019 basis can be seen via our site at https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/

In October 2009, SAV wrote to Commissioner Olli Rehn; EU Commissioner for Enlargement, expressing our deep concerns regarding an apparent lack of existing national animal welfare legislation implementation and enforcement by governments throughout the Balkan states.

Over 25 prime evidence links from the SAV site were provided to Commissioner Rehn, each of these containing many sub links, showing extreme Balkans animal suffering video footage which relate to our concerns.  A few examples are shown in the following links –

**WARNING Graphic Animal Suffering**:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZSXlSH4pEA&feature=channel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sewZvVbQro0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAEfxbysd_Y&feature=channel

We have expressed our concerns to the Commissioner, that even when provided with such evidence, clearly showing extreme animal abuses, nothing with regard investigation and prosecution is being followed up by the Balkans authorities to press charges; to enforce (the) often existing national animal welfare legislation.  In Serbia for example, the Public Attorney appears to be dismissing all evidence provided by animal welfare campaigners; instead, they themselves are themselves being accused of obstructing them (the Public Attorney) from getting on with their legal work.

In our letter, we have reminded Commissioner Rehn that (on his website) his very own words declare:

The European Union currently has 27 Member States. The Western Balkan countries, Turkey and Iceland may also join once they meet the conditions for membership. The aim of enlargement is simple: to extend the area of peace, stability, democracy and the rule of law, and prosperity and well-being throughout Europe. 

We draw particular attention to the statement by Commissioner Rehn of – democracy and the rule of law, as it is felt that despite Serbian animal welfare campaigners providing large amounts of evidence to Serbian legislators, no action appears to ever be taken by Serbian authorities to apply the rule of law, a fundamental condition necessary for EU membership.

If no action (in the form of prosecutions against animal cruelty) is being shown to be taken by Serbian legislators following the production of evidence and documented requests by animal welfare campaigners, then we declare that Serbia is not meeting some of the necessary and fundamental aims of EU enlargement with regard showing the implementation of both democracy (ie. requests by animal welfare campaigners) and the rule of law (ie. by not prosecuting perpetrators of causing animal suffering), even when evidence is provided. 

As a consequence, Signators of this petion request that Commissioner Rehn now fully investigates if there is actually any animal welfare legislation enforcement by Balkans states requiring EU membership prior to them being granted official EU membership.  Or is animal welfare legislation implementation simply being ignored.

We request the implementation of democracy and the rule of law for all animal welfare issues within Balkans states at all times prior to their EU Accession.  Where this is not happening, we rquest the EU demands it prior to accession.

Here is an example of King Zwelithini’s “Goodwill”:

Unidentified eyewitnesses described the ritual slaughter as 40 minutes during which “dozens trampled a bellowing, groaning bull, wrenched its head around by the horns to try to break its neck”.

They also “pulled its tongue out, stuffed sand in its mouth and even tried to tie its penis in a knot”.

Gleaming with sweat, the dozens further raised their arms in triumph and sang when the bull finally succumbed…

Such barbarism and they call this a celebration!

Can you believe this still takes place in today’s world and that leaders celebrate such evil, cruel, sadistic behavior?  Our species needs to disappear – we have not evolved at all!

Uk (England): UPDATE: JAIL Sentence UPHELD as Dog Fighter’s Appeal FAILS

Posted on December 4, 2009 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

RSPCA:  Jail sentence upheld as dog fighter’s appeal fails  

Friday, 04, Dec 2009 12:00

A woman who held dog fights in the garage of her Lincolnshire home has been jailed after her appeal against conviction failed, following a major investigation by the RSPCA’s special operations unit.

Claire Parker will immediately begin her original 18 week prison sentence after she failed in her appeal against conviction of dog fighting charges. Parker was found guilty of jointly using her garage as a venue for dog fights, as well as attending a dog fight and jointly possessing three pit bull terrier type dogs, following a trial in September this year.

The 43-year-old, of Kexby Lane, Kexby, Lincolnshire, yesterday (03/12/09) also saw her 10 year ban on keeping all animals upheld and must pay £2,000 costs, in accordance with her earlier sentence.

Her late-husband John Parker was also due to stand trial in September this year on dog fighting charges, but he died before the hearing while in prison for other offences.

Mohammed Nasir Farooq will begin a 22 week custodial sentence after his conviction on four charges, including attending and taking part in a dog fight at Parker’s property, was upheld. Lincoln Crown Court, sitting at the town’s magistrates court, was told Farooq acted as a time keeper at a fight staged in Parker’s garage.

His appeal against convictions of keeping pit bull terrier type dogs for fighting and possession of items used in connection with dog fighting – namely two treadmills – also failed.

The 34-year-old, of Daniel’s Road, Bordesley Green, Birmingham, was banned from keeping all animals for life and must pay £2,000 costs, in accordance with the original sentence passed following trial. He had previously admitted joint possession of three pit bull type dogs.

A youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also failed in their bid to overturn convictions of joint possession of items used in connection with an animal fight and jointly keeping a pit bull terrier type dog for use in animal fights.

The youth, who had previously admitted joint possession of three pit bull terrier type dogs, saw the original sentence of a six-month referral order upheld, as well as a five year ban on keeping all animals.

However, both the youth and Farooq were successful in their appeals against conviction of two charges each of causing unnecessary suffering to pit bull terrier type dogs.

The three appellants were discovered as part of a major investigation into organised dog fighting across England by the RSPCA’s special operations unit. The investigation, named Operations Cannon and Castle, hinged on intelligence gather by the RSPCA, as well as footage taken by an undercover reporter working for the BBC’s Panorama programme.

The footage obtained by the BBC showed Gary Adamson, from Cleveland, reveal details of a dog fight that took place at Parker’s Kexby home, as well as the names of some of those who attended – including Farooq – to the undercover reporter. Work by the RSPCA’s special operations unit led them to others connected to the fight.

Searches were then carried out at premises across eight different counties by RSPCA inspectors who discovered dog fighting equipment including several treadmills, training aids, veterinary kits and breaking sticks – used to prise apart the jaws of dogs during a fight. Many of those prosecuted also had elaborate kennels at their homes where they trained their dogs for fighting.

The investigation led to the discovery of 35 fighting dogs, of which more than half had sustained fighting injuries and showed scars from previous bouts.

One of the biggest discoveries was of the blood stained fighting pit, constructed in Parker’s garage, where Adamson and Kenneth King fought their dogs. The inspectors also found three pit bull type dogs and treadmills, used to build up dogs’ stamina and fitness, at Parker’s home.

Chief inspector Mike Butcher, of the RSPCA’s special operations unit, said: “This is one of the biggest ever dog fighting investigations by the RSPCA. It spanned eight counties across the UK and involved joint RSPCA and police teams which discovered 35 fighting dogs – more than half with fighting injuries.

“The late Stephen Ibinson, the reporter who carried out the BBC investigation for Panorama, must take an enormous amount of credit for his bravery and determination, which has helped result in these successful convictions.

“Many people don’t realise that dog fighting is still a major problem in England and Wales in 2009, but sadly it is. While there are still those people who think it is acceptable to fight dogs for their own sick entertainment, the RSPCA and police will continue to bring them to justice.

“Anyone with information about dog fighting should contact the RSPCA in confidence on 0300 1234 999.”

Adamson (23 weeks), King (23 weeks) and Owen Batey (23 weeks) were all jailed in September this year after they admitted the charges – including causing an animal fight to take place and taking part in a dog fight – against them. All three were also banned from keeping animals for life and ordered to pay £1,500 costs each.

The investigation also led the RSPCA to Christopher Burgess who admitted one charge of joint possession of a pit bull type dog. He was sentenced to 160 hours unpaid work and £250 costs.

Jane Adamson was also banned from keeping dogs for 10 years and given an 18-month community and supervisory order after she pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a dog, by failing to obtain veterinary treatment for the wounds suffered by her husband Gary Adamson’s dog Pablo. She was also ordered to pay £150 costs.

 Full charge details:

Gary Adamson (26/01/1971), of Davenport Road, Yarm, Cleveland, admitted six charges: causing an animal fight to take place, taking part in an animal fight, possession of items used in connection with an animal fight, keeping a pit bull terrier type dog called Pablo for use in connection with an animal fight, jointly causing unnecessary suffering to a pit bull terrier type dog called Pablo by failing to provide veterinary attention in respect of injuries caused by fighting and possession of a pit bull terrier type dog known as Pablo.

Mohammed Nasir Farooq (16/9/75), of Daniels Road, Bordesley Green, Birmingham, admitted one charge: joint possession of three pit bull terrier type dogs.

He failed in an appeal against convicted of a further four charges: taking part in an animal fight, being present at an animal fight, joint possession of items used in connection with an animal fight and jointly keeping a pit bull terrier type dog for use in an animal fight.

He was successful in appeal against conviction on charges of jointly causing unnecessary suffering to a pit bull terrier type dog by causing it to fight with another dog and jointly causing unnecessary suffering to a pit bull terrier type dog by failing to obtain veterinary attention in respect of injuries sustained in a fight with another dog

A youth aged under 18 admitted one charge: jointly had possession of three pit bull terrier type dogs.

The youth failed in an appeal against conviction of a further two charges: jointly having possession of items used in connection with an animal fight and jointly keeping a pit bull terrier type dog for use in an animal fight.

The youth was successful in appeal against conviction on charges of jointly causing unnecessary suffering to a pit bull terrier type dog by causing it to fight with another dog and jointly causing unnecessary suffering to a pit bull terrier type dog by failing to obtain veterinary attention in respect of injuries sustained in a fight with another dog.

South Africa: “TRADITION” of ABUSE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RIGHTS OF A SENTIENT CREATURE

Posted on December 4, 2009 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Make your complaints about this terrible animal abuse – and pledge to BOYCOTT the Football World Cup as a result .

SA Embassy links worldwide:

http://www.embassyworld.com/embassy/South_Africa/south_africa1.htm

Boycott the SA World Cup

South Africa  wants to promote to the world how good the World Cup will be in SA, but when it comes to animal abuses in SA, they keep very, very quiet.  Civilised ? – doubt it.

Previous SAV post on this issue:

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2009/10/10/south-africa-petition-to-stop-animal-abuse-at-first-fruits-festival-zulu-ceremonies/

PLEASE CIRCULATE INTERNATIONALLY – “TRADITION” of ABUSE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE RIGHTS OF A SENTIENT CREATURE !!!! 

News on the court ruling just out.  The bull will die tomorrow….sadly, I think we all knew that torture in the name of tradition would be the victor.   

Please circulate far and wide. 

It has been a long hard battle which was twisted in to an irrelevant, unnecessary and ugly tale about imperialism and racism. In the end the bull ARA fought for so valiantly and passionately has received a death sentence and will be killed tomorrow when a bunch of young men converge on him with their bare hands. 

Please light a candle not in just in honour of the bull, but of the fight we fight each day and the victims of humanity. 

For Immediate Release: 4 December 2009 

THINK OF THE BULL TOMORROW

 Animal Rights Africa (ARA) is extremely disappointed that the Judge ruled against us. We are also  saddened and frustrated that the Respondents refused to allow ARA to monitor and document the ukweshwama ritual.  

ARA has not seen the Judgment as yet but we will be studying it with a view to what our next steps will be.  It is a sad fact that attempts at dialogue with the Zulu Royal Household, the Commission on  and the relevant government departments fell on deaf ears and that this issue landed up in the courts. ARA will also continue to seek dialogue on this issue and we therefore call on all these entities and the ANC to urgently facilitate such dialogue. 

That ARA lost this case is distressing to us, however  this pales into insignificance for us in comparison to the fact that the fate is sealed for the innocent bull that will be used in the ritual tomorrow. 

As part of a global movement that cuts across all continents, all cultures all ethnic and racial groups, ARA will continue to work for compassion, respect, dignity and inclusive justice.

 We ask that people across South Africa, Africa  and the world that have shown concern for the fate of this particular bull light a candle between 12pm and 3pm tomorrow (Saturday 5th December) and spend the day in reflection and introspection, in solidarity and compassion with this particular bull.

Ends.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”  Martin Luther King

Like all animals, cows and bulls value their lives and don’t want to die. Stories abound of cows who have gone to extraordinary lengths to fight for their lives. They are as diverse as cats, dogs, and people: Some are bright; others are slow learners. Some are bold and adventurous; others are shy and timid. Some are friendly and considerate; others are bossy and devious. They can be highly intelligent, moderately so, or slow to understand; friendly, considerate, aggressive, docile, inventive, dull, proud, or shy. According to recent research, in addition to having distinct personalities, they are generally very intelligent animals who can remember things for a long time. Animal behaviourists have found that cows interact in socially complex ways, developing friendships over time, sometimes holding grudges against cows who treat them badly, forming social hierarchies within their herds, and choosing leaders based upon intelligence. They are emotionally complex as well and have the capacity to worry about the future. They are intelligent and curious beings who enjoy solving problems and interacting with their environment. They have long memories and are capable of learning lessons from each other, just as humans do.

Animal Rights Africa has named the bull who will be killed tomorrow during the Ukweshwmama ritual, angasoze akakhohlwa ,which means “he who will not be forgotten”.

Please think about him – today, tomorrow and always.

After years of taking action and being able to put the finger on grave infringements and acts of abuse by going undercover, we have finally persuaded e few European MP’s to present  a written question, in European Parliament, in a walk towards the introduction of a new text of law that will put an end to all these acts of cruelty.

As a result of the expansion of the EEC we will be needing more signatures to find a majority of MEP’s who favour the new text of law. Fortunately we find that there are animal friends  throughout all parties across all borders who are willing to help us to convince the members of their own parties to vote in favour of animal rights.

We can achieve this only by petitioning and sending letters to ALL these MEP’s.

To have an easy access to all these letters we’ve had Hubert set up a user friendly system:

only the e-mail adresses listed are valid since the whole file has been updated.

– you click onto the countries and a new mail, including all adresses, will be provided.

– you can send your own personalized letter or you can use, sign and send the model we provide.

We are counting on you to send these mails by massive numbers to show that we are behind this, as Europeans, and to put pressure on the European Parliament as a whole.

This mail will be spread all over Europe and a follow-up will be done through the web-site of www.Beestjes.org.

On the web-site you can see which MEP’s have signed already ( the list will be updated regularly ), so you can go on mailing those who haven’t done so, yet.

We cannot afford to pass up on this opportunity and let go to waste all the efforts of the past years as happened to us on the issue of the contested bull-fights.

Please make an effort to spread this mail as wide as possible to sites, contact groups, blogs, etc.

THERE’S NO TIME TO WASTE. WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU!

SAMPLE LETTER FOLLOWS

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Madam,

Dear Sir,

As you are certainly well aware of, every year more than 54 million animals are sacrificed in  all kind of experiments.  These animals are made to suffer and end up being killed. This is inhuman and cruel and it is absolutely necessary that all possible efforts are made to use methods that do not involve animals.

As citizens of the EU we need your help to protect as much as possible of these animals and therefore we are urging you to sign the Written Declaration on the promotion  of alternatives to animal research and testing  53/2009 ,and help us convince your colleagues to do the same.

We specifically demand that more money will be made available by the EU for scientific research into alternative testing methods to replace the cruel and inhumane testing currently performed upon animals. To make this possible, we must find 50%  of all European MP’s prepared to sign this Written Declaration 53/2009. If we fail to do so the issue will, again, be abandoned and be pushed ahead of us by a length of time. Time, we feel, we don’t have.

Please, this is VERY IMPORTANT!

The Written Declaration must be signed BEFORE 20 JANUARY 2010!

These animals are depending upon you!

The names of those members of the  EU parliament who signed this declaration will be published on several websites.

Thank you for your time and for taking an interest in this issue.

Sincerely yours,

Name:

Country

2é actie voor de dierproeven

Als u een mail hebt aangeklikt kunt u ook best  meteen deze verzenden naar dezelfde EU leden dat  

bespaard veel moeite en tijd

Mevrouw,

Mijnheer,

Zoals u waarschijnlijk wel weet is er een Schriftelijke Verklaring ingediend op de EU

om de vreselijke situatie met dierproeven terug op de agenda te zetten en weer

bespreekbaar te maken. Er wordt vooral gevraagd dat de EU meer geld zou vrijmaken voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar alternatieve methodes. Om dit mogelijk te maken moeten 50% van de Europarlementariërs deze Verklaring ondertekenen. Als dit niet gehaald wordt is het onderwerp weer voor jaren van de baan.

Daarom vragen wij u met aandrang een zo groot mogelijk aantal parlementariërs te schrijven om ze te vragen deze Verklaring te tekenen.

We hebben het zo gemakkelijk mogelijk voor u gemaakt. In de lijst met EU landen klikt u op de naam van een land en dan gaat er een e-mail open met al de e-mail adressen van de parlementsleden van dat land in Bcc. In bijlage is er ook een brief die u kan kopiëren en in de mail zetten.

A.U.B. dit is zeer belangrijk! De Schriftelijke Verklaring moet getekend zijn voor 20 januari 2010. De dieren rekenen op u.

Wij danken u alvast voor uw medewerking.

Met vriendelijke groeten.
