STOP THE MELAKA ZOO ORANGUTAN HORROW SHOW

Melaka Zoo is located about two hours south of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This zoo has been repeatedly criticized in the past for its cruelty to orangutans, among other species.

Perhilitan is the government department responsible for enforcing the wildlife protection law, but it only ever does if pressured by the public to do so.

These orangutans will remain in their barbaric cages unless YOU join us in sending the letter to the Prime Minister. Each time the petition is signed the letter is automatically sent to him and some 38 other relevant officials, including ones at the zoo.

Soldiers laugh as they blow up innocent dog for fun (Petition)

Serbia: Petition and Sample Letter to Send – Stop the Vet-Killer Mitko Davkovski.

Petition link below:

http://www.change.org/petitions/zaustavimo-vet-ubicu-mitka-davkovskog-stop-vet-killer-mitko-davkovski

Zaustavimo Vet-Ubicu, Mitka Davkovskog / Stop Vet-Killer, Mitko Davkovski

Why This Is Important

Please help STOP Dr. Mitko Davkovski (vet ambulance “Vetapan”, the City of Nis, Serbia) from killing of stray dogs…  

Stray dogs are sterilized and are put back on the street shortly after…

Competent authorities fail to adequately solve the stray dog problem. In fact, all eventually boils down to catch them an masse, collected from a small town and in inadequate conditions (where 60 dogs are transported in trailer 1.5 x 1 m dimensions) driven to the higher centers and then sterilized.

While being in a stray dog center, they usually don`t get enough food and in case they are sick they don’t get adequately medical treatment. Also, while staying there they get fleas and ticks, and other parasites and viruses. At in the end, after that great treatment which I described, malnourished and often sick, they are given back to the street at the habitants, where they usually die in the worst pain.

All of these is pained by local community: for each male stray dog 30,- euros and for each female dog 50,- euros.

Facebook pages in Serbia are full of examples like this. In lot of cases stray dogs are found in the streets with opened wounds after being sterilized and chipped by some of those dog centers.

Also it is pretty often that dogs died while being in a dog center.

A story that at the beginnig seems nice but…

The Nis city council decided not to kill the stray dogs but to sterilize them!

After sterilisation and castrations the dogs are immediately released back to the streets or are put in the shelters where they don’t get the proper cure to heal!

The thing gets even worse when you find out the veterinary service is performed by Mirko Davkovski known as the undertaker of innocents who killed more then 1500 misfortunate dogs by injecting t61 injections right into their hearts lungs:
http://www.facebook.com/events/create/?eid=184174834990934

A.M. recorded by making photos of one of the sweeties who died because of this butcher. The beautiful dog in the pictures, was found in Nis (Serbia) on the street after her sterilisation performed by Mirko Davkovski in the Nis’ public pound! She was immediately released from the vet service in – as you can see – horrifying conditions. A.M. took the poor soul to another vet who tried to save her but, unfortunatelly, she died!

Everything that happened here is “LEGAL” !!!

This is not the first case, and if we don’t do something, it won’t be even the last neither!

Please send a letter or email … let them know, that there is nothing legal and moral in keeping a man like Mitko Davkovski on duty, someone who acts rather as a butcher than as a veterinarian!

Let them know that we – all of Europe – know about the atrocities that carry out every day in Serbia towards the animals. Let them know that we demand that Serbia begins to respect animals as sentient beings and the animal welfare laws are followed, we do not want more animal tormentors in the EU.

Please, speak out for this innocent souls… voice your opinion!

Subject line: Zaustavite veterinara ubicu, Mitka Davkovskog

Horor u Nisu-delo veterinara ubice!!! http://www.balkankinology.net/pricaonica/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=30926

Ovako izgledaju psi iz Niskog sinteraja,koji budu sterilisani i onda izbaceni da umiru u najgorim mukama.Bio sam svedok i svojim ocima sam video kako se psi sterilisu na zivo,bez anestezije,daleko od ljudskih ociju i javnosti.Doticni veterinar-mesar uzima novac od grada za svakog sterilisanog psa,uvek prolazi na tenderu kada se raspise konkurs,jer brat mu je u politici i naravno, ko ce kome a ko ne svoj svome.Ovo bi trebalo da obidje svet da se vidi kako se u Nisu kolju psi.

Ako niste u stanju da brinete o gradskim zivotinjama, kako cete da vodite brigu o gradjanima Nisha?
Ako niste u stanju da sprecite izvrshenje krivicnih dela nad zivotinjama, hocete li da zatvorite oci i kada su u pitanju krivicna dela prema ljudima?
Ako ste dali svoj glas za ubijanje nemocnih i napushtenih zivotinja, hocete li sutra odobriti i ubijanje starih i bolesnih ljudi?
I,konacno, hocete li okiceni ordenom zasluga za narod, u prvim borbenim redovima neustrashivo krenuti u boj za spashavanje sopstvene fotelje, koju ugrozava najbolji covekov prijatelj?

Romania: Petition – Dog Killers and Police Inaction – HARSHEST PUNISHMENTS for those who massacred dogs in Targu-Jiu – Romania

A very important petition – please sign and pass on to as many of your friends and contacts as possible.  Thanks – SAV.

HARSHEST PUNISHMENTS for those who massacred dogs in Targu-Jiu – Romania

Target: Authorities in Targu-Jiu Romania, Romanian Police, FPAM

Sponsored by: IAARR, ALF-ARA Romania, Romania Stop Torturarii Animalelor, Citizens of the world

Dear friends,

Please join the Romanian Animal Protection officials, and Romanian animal rights activists, in their legal battle to ask for justice in the case of the recent massacres of stray dogs in TARGU-JIU ROMANIA.

One day after Christmas a fisherman from Targu-Jiu made a gruesome discovery on the River Jiu banks…over 30 dead dogs, scattered everywhere, on a 500m area…and bag with animal remains in the river. Police has been called to investigate BUT, as this is NOT the first time in that city, that such horrible discoveries occur, after which Police concluded that they can not punish anybody…and closed the case, we intend to press the local Law Enforcement agencies to find out, this time, not only how come so many dogs ended up dead in the same place and same time, but WHO did it…this is a mass killing…

We hope that the legal complains and the international outrage about this crime, will force the Local Law Enforcement agencies to fully apply the law in force in Romania for the protection of animals, and will punish in the most severe way these individuals.

There might be the tendency to cover up or to find and excuse or , who knows what….and THIS tendency MUST STOP…it is far too common to let let people who commit crimes against animals to walk free, to get a small fine or even not to get charged at all.

The time has come for Romania to implement and APPLY the laws of the land. Romanian Police does not take the Law 9/2008, for the protection of animals seriously, and many times acts as if THIS law does not even exist.

We ask for a thorough and tough investigation and for the harshest punishment of all the individuals involved.

The letter to the target is bilingual.

Thank you .

This last action made on purpose among some people having “fun” about it.

People that love animals are asking others to investigate and punish the people that did this as well as to create and develop new laws that will severely punish those who act in this horrific way against animals.

We are tired of living among crazy people that amuse themselves against defenseless and innocent animals.

This as all other cases must not be forgotten and must be investigated.

SARAJEVO — Two intoxicated youths duct-taped a firework in a German shepherd’s mouth and blew off his face. But the torture didn’t stop there. The poor dog, known as Vucko, wandered for five days, unable to eat and with maggots infecting the meaty pulp of his ruined face. Vucko was finally picked up by authorities and euthanized after vets were unable to perform reconstructive surgery.

Here is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC footage of Vucko being examined by vets. Notice the firework’s shell casing still embedded in the dog’s head.

We must bring the animal abusers to justice and ensure that this inhumanity is never repeated; sadly, animal welfare laws are practically nonexistent in much of Eastern Europe. Sign this petition urging Bosnian authorities to hunt down the guilty parties, expose the severity of animal abuse, and create proper legislation that will protect animals. Don’t let Vucko die in vain!

Wording – Apply the Law on Animal Welfare (2009)

I just signed the following petition addressed to: Chairman of the Council of Ministers of BiH, Dr. Nikola Špirić.

I am deeply concerned by the most recent event of animal abuse in Ilidza, Sarajevo, where a group of unidentified perpetrators put a firecracker into the mouth of a stray dog, which exploded and completely destroyed his upper jaw. The dog was found after a couple of days and taken to the vet, where he was euthanized due to excruciating caused by this inoperable wound.

Sadly, this is not an isolated act of violence but the mayhem of ongoing neglect and animal abuse. The signatories of this petition demand strict implementation of the existing Law governing the welfare of animals. It is of major concern to the citizens throughout BiH that the laws are not upheld and that the crimes of animal abuse go unpunished. Such violence keeps spreading with disastrous consequences both to people and to animals. pose a serious threat to the civil society.

Evidence of the connection between violence against animals and violence against humans is overwhelming. A growing body of research has shown that people who abuse animals rarely stop there. According to mental health professionals, animal abuse constitutes aggressive and antisocial behaviour, which is a reliable predictor of violence against people. Abusing an animal out of fun in their youth was the most statistically salient motive for predicting later interpersonal violence as adults. Sources are many, to name just a few:

The Link Between Animal Abuse and Human Violence
A volume of contributions to the 2007 international conference at Oxford (Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics), on the relationship between animal abuse and human violence.

I urge you to take steps that the Law on Animal Welfare introduced in 2009 is applied in this particular case, as well as on all other cases of animal cruelty towards stray dogs and cats.

Torturer of 100+ Dogs Alexey Vedula Deserves Maximum Punishment!

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/the-strictest-punishment-for-alexey-vedula/

Target: Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich & General Public Prosecutor Victor Pshonka

Sponsored by: People for the ethical treatment of animals in Ukraine!

 UKRAINE — Since October 2011, Alexey Vedula, a 19-year-old student, has been publishing atrocious videos on the Internet which feature him torturing and killing dogs in various extremely cruel ways. Alexey is filmed throwing puppies on the railway and watching trains run over their little bodies. He is also seen cutting off their tails and paws, ripping open their stomachs and pulling out their eyes. All the while, he and his friends make cynical comments and laugh.

Alexey Vedula tortured over 100 dogs to death and published these videos on the site Vkontakte.ru, where he and his friends discussed new methods of torture. More information here.

Because of the indifference of Ukrainian authorities, this man is still free! The strictest punishment for his actions is a small fine of 850 gryvnas ($100 US) or a six-month imprisonment. This young man is sick and we all know he will never stop. It is a well-established fact that animal torture is an early sign of violent criminal behavior. If Alexey finds pleasure in torturing and killing helpless little creatures, will he eventually turn to children?

But there is ONE MORE THING. There were a lot of precedents of torture and killing animals in Ukraine and NO ONE had ever gone to jail. That`s why we need to fight futher for all the animals which are tortured and killed by those who are not afraid of the law. We want to change current part of the law about cruel animals treatment: 

1. The minimum term of imprisonment for the cruel animal treatment which leads to death should be at least 1-3 years without a chance of probation.

2. Every branch of power shall obey this law because now most of the claims about animal mistreatment are ignored. 

3. Ukrainian officials who are responsible for the compliance with this law shall be punished accordingly for ignoring the failures in a form of fine, and if repeated, – in a form of dismissal.

If we don`t change it now, we will not be able to change it for the long time to come. 

We want Alexey Vedula isolated from society, in a maximum security prison, for as long as possible!

We want change the law about animal mistreatment in Ukraine and protect the country from sadists and maniacs who start with animal torture and then switch to people!  less
