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.

Colombian Cart Horse Who Couldn’t Walk is Set on Fire!

Colombian Cart Horse Who Couldn’t Walk is Set on Fire!

 

A horse was burnt alive in Santiago de Cali – Colombia (translated)
====================================

Apparently the animal refused to walk and that is why the owner poured gasoline over it and set it alight. Posted on Friday October 23, 2009

The incident occurred east of the capital of Valle Bonilla Aragon near the neighborhood. In a crop of sugarcane, the villagers watched as  ‘Paul’, the carter horse from a neighbor was consumed by flames, eventually dying from burns.

“I immediately called the 123 and moved the Environmental Police personnel. It was a rough picture of animal cruelty,” said Sgt Yovanni Ñáñez, commander of the Environmental Police.

The animal, a pale horse bay, about 6 years, was still alive.  He suffered burns of first and third grade in 90 percent of his body. The owner of the horse and his companion surprisingly argued that they found the horse like that, and had planned to put it out of its misery!Given the seriousness of the injuries it was necessary to go to Municipal Zoonosis Center, where it was decided to apply euthanasia to prevent further suffering.

However, the police established that they poured gasoline over the horse and set fire to it, because it had refused to walk.

“What we are asking the community to warn that when situations of violence against animals of any species, reported immediately to 123 or phone 551 78 10,” said Sgt Ñáñez, who recalled that this year the unit has handled 230 cases, among which 130 have been horses.

SAMPLE LETTER / E MAIL

Att:  Doctor

       Minister of Transport of Colombia

Dear Sir

This is to express my profound rejection of the events of Friday 23 October in the city Santiago de Cali, in which a a horse was burnt alive, because he/she did not want to walk.

We ask you to strongly consider the abolishment of the cart horse industry – because of the documented repeated abuse!

The horses in Columbia daily suffer from terrible neglect and abuse, but we believe with strong leadership and firm action from your office Columbia’s cart horses can be protected.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

SUBJECT: Stop this massacre of stray dogs immediately, the world is watching you!!

Dear Prime Minister,
Dear Mayor,

Macedonia has always been a symbol of ancient traditions, good people and hospitality… Now, seeing through our eyes, Skopje is a city of terror, massacre and use of strength against the week ones and those who don’t have a chance to defend themselves! We thought that we are part of the European family, but all we can see is an ugly picture of terror and a country that can’t handle the problem of homeless dogs. They are brutally killed in the “Vardarishte” shelter, the institution that literary has closed its doors for the people who want to adopt a homeless dog, the institution that didn’t changed its way of functioning and killing innocent animals, but became even more radical. All of this mentioned above, will put a mark on you – as aggressive politicians who don’t care about which instrument to use, as long as their objective is achieved.

But… do you know that one of the conditions for entrance in the European family is human treatment towards the dogs and transparency of the institutions who are supposed to take care of them? Do you know that you are the only one who don’t have at least three shelters for dogs in the capital city? Do you know that the world is watching you and your brutal actions? Do you want to be remembered as dog-killers and nothing more? Have you ever heard about the international organizations that fight for animal rights and all the victories that they have achieved?

According to the statistics, Skopje has the highest level of euthanized homeless dogs. Dogs that are young and healthy, creatures that have a right to live, just as every other being. We will do anything that is in our power – and believe us, we have the power, because we are not moved by money but by the LOVE towards the innocent creatures – to stop this massacre.

We are therefore asking you to stop this brutality IMMEDIATELY towards those who suffer!

Important – Add Your (Name, Surname, Country)

Serbia: Campaign Images to Copy and Paste for Your Literature

SAV are delighted that Vesna, one member of our team in the Alliance, has produced some excellent images which you can copy and paste into your campaigns literature.

All of the images are shown in this post and relate to Hunting, organised animal fighting and animal protection.

Most of the images relate directly to issues in Serbia, having the serbian national flag in the corner, but some do not carry the flag and can be used globally.

Please feel free to use the images from Vesna by simply copying and pasting.

Note – the final 3 images are flip images and will flip to a second sheet with different pictures when selected.

Thanks for all your hard work Vesna; we now hope that campaigners will copy them and reproduce your images around the World in support of Serbian animals !

Introduction

We (SAV) have been provided with lots of data and very disturbing videos and photgraphs from our great campaigner friends in Macedonia relating to the dogs which are held and regularly killed at VARDARISTE Pound, Skopje.

For ease of SAV visitor information and visitor actions associated with this campaign, over the next few days we will be publishing several posts, each post detailing one area of the campaign; it is very much hoped that you will visit ALL of the posts and then help us by taking action which will be detailed in the final post – Number 3.

Post 1 details:

video footage obtained of the Vardariste facility.  A couple of photographs taken at the facility, showing the conditions in which the dogs are held, are also included.

Post 2 details:

photographs of the Vardariste facility and includes links to PETITIONS for the dogs which it is very much hoped you will add your name and comments to.  Facebook links are also included in this post.

Post 3 details:

a SAMPLE LETTER which can be copied and e mailed directly to the Mayor of Skopje and also to the government of Macedonia via an e mail direct link form – the link which will be provided in the post.

Copies of the letter can also be sent to Macedonian Press and other media – again here, all e mail addresses will be given within the post.

Links to MACEDONIAN EMBASSIES / CONSULATES around the World will also be provided, so that you can forward on your own mail / letter to your national embassy if you wish.

So Post 3 is the most important ‘Action’ post which requires your help and support.

It is hoped that Post 3 will be acted on by you only once you have visited Posts 1 and 2, as these provide background video footage links, photographs and petition links showing the terrible conditions in which the dogs at Vardariste facility are held.

Please, please give your devoted attention to this campaign to help the dogs at Vardariste facility in Macedonia.

Thanks – SAV
