India: More Amazing Rescue Videos From The Superb Team At Animal Aid Unlimited.

 

More absolutely amazing rescue videos from our friends at ‘Animal Aid Unlimited’ in India.

Watch the rescue of Mikki; who had a terrible maggot infested wound, through to the beautiful little happy dog she is today.

 

 

Only one chance to rescue a desperate puppy.

 

Frightened and confused by an excruciating and huge wound, this sweetheart was also suffering from a bad case of mange. But she still had the strength to run away, and our rescue team knew if she dodged our net she’d surely die.

By the luckiest miracle she jumped into an overturned boat and gave our team just the chance they needed. Watch the beautiful result of 6 weeks of treatment and love. Watch adorable Mikki’s joy. She will never leave your heart.

We got a call to rescue a dog stuck in a gate. But when we arrived, our rescuers found an old dog in much more serious trouble. Not only was she completely stuck between very narrow bars in a gate, but she had massive maggot infested wounds on her backside.

Unable to pull her body through the bars or pry them open, we had to call in a metal cutter and have him cut one of the bars off the gate.

Once we got her back to the shelter, we began treating her wounds, started fluids for her dehydration, antibiotics and pain medication. Her wounds were severe, and with her old age recovery would be an uphill battle. But Dotty is a brave, spirited little lady, and she wasn’t about to give up.

Amazing – probably the best rescue of them all – SAV.

Three tiny angels were trapped in hardened tar. They were so completely stuck, they couldn’t move a muscle. It looked like they’d been engulfed for hours, and one little baby’s mouth was even stuck open. Neighbors had heard their heart-wrenching cries for help and had called Animal Aid.

Prying them loose was impossible for the tense rescue team, so we had to cut the tar loose from the rocks below and bring the puppies and the tar and gravel they were stuck in back to the hospital.

Determined volunteers and staff spent hours to soften the tar with oil and dishsoap, with time out only to plant kisses on the puppies’ noses. Multiple warm baths later…and wow.

For babies who had been on the brink of death, this is what happiness looks like.

Please donate to save street animals in the most desperate need.

The eyes of the animals caught on film at the moment their rescuers arrive say it all–“somebody please help me.” And when street animals are desperately trapped, “moving heaven and earth” is exactly what we have to do to help them. Thank you for giving so generously to make sure that no matter how tough the rescue, the next angel and the next will not be left alone to die.

 

Please donate for the animals who are waiting for a miracle.

Famous Anti-Corrida Fighter Jean Pierre Garrigues Has Passed Away Aged Only 53 Years.

SAV Comment – Terrible news.  We hope that others will pick up the fight to undertake all the dedicated work JP did.  His work and efforts to protect animals being abused for fun will be sadly missed.  Thank you for your compassion and respect for all living beings Jean Pierre.

Hi Mark,
I have just read today that the famous anti-corrida fighter Jean Pierre Garrigues has died. He was only 53 years old.


I am very sad, I knew him from the media and the press reports as an activist that even the aficionados were afraid of him.


Because he acted directly during a bullfight, and has often managed to cancel a fight; he was a very passionate anti-bullfighting activist.

Now the bulls have one supporter less.
Just sad.

 

Regards

Venus

England: Plastic Planet ?

8/12 is the anniversary of the death of my beloved ‘Golda’.

Despite her loss for several years now it is not really any easier;  I came to the conclusion many years ago that no matter how hard you try to improve things, money is the most evil thing on the planet; or maybe the second worst, after all the human shit we have that get a kick out of animal and human abuse for the gain of making a few pennies more.

Today, Tuesday 5/12, there has been a major meeting in Africa regarding the huge amount of plastic that is being dumped into the sea – and killing marine life as a result.  The equivalent of one loaded garbage truck of plastic dumped into the sea EVERY SINGLE MINUTE so they are saying on the BBC.

 

Man alone is doing a fine and productive job of fucking up the whole planet – be it Trump and his anti environment protecting policies; the Chinese and there continual abuse of both animals and the planet –  they (as a nation) dump around 25% of all plastics into the oceans according to info I have this week; the Bear Bile issues which the wonderful Jill is working so hard to stop; the killing of donkeys with sledgehammers etc – it just goes on.

We have a wonderful one off planet – so why do some dickheads just want to trash it all ?

The fight goes on but very often it can be very depressing with all the bad news and negativity which arrives at the ‘Inbox’ every single day.

Many world leaders are in a position to make a real change to animal welfare and environment.  Many of them don’t really give a toss – their personal positions are far more important than saving the planet.  ‘Tin Gods’ I think they call them.  Boy the EU alone is full of them; we have seen this for so long; they have names like Junker and Tusk and Van Goethem; persons who ignore the evidence presented to them but who also dance to the blinkered tune of financial gain.

They make me want to puke – all over their so very well cut suits !

I am gonna get down off my soapbox now – and as I say, the fight goes on for better or worse.

There is a wonderful North American Cree Indian Prophecy that reads:

Only when the last tree has been cut down,
Only when the last river has been poisoned,
Only when the last fish has been caught,

Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

 

I guess you could update that now to include people that pull out of Paris climate agreements, the dumping of plastic in the oceans, the use of ‘clean’ coal; etc.

‘Money cannot be eaten’ – oh if the worlds pig shit thick politicians were to even get a partial grip of this, then we and the animals may be in a much better place.

Mark.

UPDATE  6/12/17 – Greenpeace Action In London.

 

Update for action on 5/12/17.

Greenpeace in action in London against Coke contaminating the seas and causing Plastic Oceans.

Hi Mark,

We’ve taken over London landmark Piccadilly

Circus with our very

own Coca-Cola Christmas event!

Can you sign the petition calling on Coke

to stop polluting our

oceans with plastic?

Petition – https://secure.greenpeace.org.uk/page/s/coca-cola-petition?source=em&subsource=20171205ocem01&utm_source=gpeace&utm_medium=em&utm_campaign=20171205ocem01

Christmas is a big time of year for Coke – but we

want to show the

world that their happy holiday image hides

a less cheerful reality.

This global drinks giant pumps out an estimated

110 billion plastic

bottles a year – that’s over 3,400 bottles a second!

Our recycling systems simply cannot keep up

with this tide of

single-use plastic, and it’s overwhelming

our oceans.

Research has shown that a shocking 90% of seabirds

and 1 in 3 sea turtles have ingested plastic.

As the biggest soft drinks producer in the world,

Coca-Cola have

the opportunity to take the lead in reducing

their plastic footprint

and coming up with innovative reusable alternatives.

Please take a minute to sign the petition and tell

Coke to take urgent action to stop harming our oceans.

Greenpeace supporters in 14 countries around the

world have

now joined the campaign – and together we’re

showing Coke that

there’s nowhere to hide for their plastic polluting

ways.

This festive season, join the call for Coca-Cola

to make a resolution

that will change the face of our oceans for years

to come

don’t let Coke choke our oceans!

Thanks for all you do,
Alice and the Oceans team
