SAV Comment – Making America Great Again ???!!!
Puppy mills, the sale of dog and horse meat, force feeding ducks until their livers explode, and other examples of animal cruelty will be legalized if Republican efforts to overturn animal welfare laws are successful. Sign this petition to oppose Republican plans to return to the days where extreme animal cruelty was legal.
Target: Donald Trump, President of the United States
Goal: Don’t legalize animal abuse by overturning state animal welfare laws.
Hard-won victories against animal cruelty, and the rights of the individual states who have passed anti-cruelty laws, are under attack by Republicans in Congress with the introduction of two new bills. These bills, introduced by Representatives Steve King (R-IA) and James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), seek to force states and localities to allow the sale of animal products produced in inhumane ways, even if the state already has measures in place forbidding the sale of such abusive products. As the Humane Society of the United States has pointed out, this poses a significant and tangible threat to animals across the entire nation.
If these bills pass into law, the consequences would be severe. For instance, states like Louisiana could lose the rules they have in place against the sale of sick and abused dogs from puppy mills.
California could be forced to allow the sale of foie gras, a cruel “delicacy” made by brutally force-feeding ducks until their livers become grossly enlarged.
Bans on the sale of horse meat in states like Indiana could be overturned.
Unfortunately, the Trump family and his administration have a long history of supporting animal abuse. Trump’s sons are fanatical hunters, including the killing exotic animals, and his administration has purged animal abuse records and concealed them from public view.
These cruel bills must not be passed.
Sign to demand that this attempt to legalize animal abuse be rejected.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Donald Trump,
Newly introduced Republican bills threaten not only the well-being of innocent animals nationwide, but also the rights of states with animal welfare legislation already in place. The bills would force states to allow the cruel mistreatment of animals for the sake of selling products.
For example, California could be forced to allow the sale of foie gras in spite of the state law banning it. States could be compelled to allow sick and abused dogs to be sold from puppy mills, and dogs and horses to be killed for their meat. As the Humane Society stated in its call to action, “Rep. King has been fighting animal welfare laws at the federal level, and now he’s attacking them in the states. In short, he doesn’t want any animal welfare laws, and we cannot let him get away with it.”
I urge you to heed the Humane Society’s call and to protect animals across the nation by ensuring that these disgusting bills do not pass.
Serbia has become the place for the sick to satisfy their disgusting needs for having sex with animals.
Being a country in which zoophilia is not prohibited, there are several places from Norway, UK, Holland and other countries of Europe visit. Belgrade, the capital, is the most visited place by zoophilic who have fun having sex with animals like sheep, donkeys, dogs, geese and cows.
These sick people get what they are want thanks to a country in which the Law does not prohibit these disgusting and degrading acts towards animals. There are even advertisements on the Internet that offer services for 100 euros or more.
Serbia is a country that has wanted to join the European Union for many years, but with these laws it is impossible to achieve.
We do not want a country like Serbia in the EU if it does not amend the Laws and prohibits bestiality.
Let us ask the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to ban these aberrant acts, to amend the Laws if he wants to be part of the EU, we do not allow these savages to continue to harm animals.

October 8 ·
This past month was one of the most exhausting and excruciating months in the history of our cat sanctuary. Many of the senior kitties became ill due to their ages, and we have suffered the loss of three of our fighters – two little sisters, just a couple of tiny kitty babies, lost their battle with FIP and a couple of days ago, Zack succumbed to meningitis.
The struggle in keeping this Cat Sanctuary running doesn’t get easier due to our constant debts. Yes, we’ve been registered for almost a decade, and no, the state nor the local authorities provide our kitties with a single cent. It seems like the animals here aren’t on anyone’s priority list but ours.
For years Felix Cat Shelter has been trying to help the community by taking in as many abandoned or ill kitties as possible. Once again, we are relying on the goodness and the grace of all of the kindhearted people out there who will find a place in their hearts to support our sanctuary’s mission and help us keep this place running. Not for us, but for all of our residents who have nowhere else to go.
Perhaps our sanctuary would’ve been more likable if we tried to make our entire story about us and us alone by constantly complaining that we’re having a rough time because we have families which don’t see us as often as our kitties do. Moaning that we’re too busy and don’t even have time for ourselves as we are taking care of such a huge number of animals and also have to go to work, whining about our health problems, incessantly lying as to the number of our sanctuary residents or exaggerating when talking about their health, vet treatment and the costs of such.
Yes, perhaps that would make us more appealing to many kindhearted people, but that would be a lie. Felix Cat Shelter was established because of the kitties and that’s the way it shall be for as long as we’re around. Perhaps our residents would have been better off if we were prone to telling sad and pathetic fabricated stories instead of simply telling the truth. If things were the other way around, we share the opinion that our residents would be ashamed of us. However, no matter how hard it gets, no matter how many misfortunes keep following us, we can always take pride in everything we did for every single one of our kitties. Honestly, we had more than our fair share of “having had enough” or “too much”, but we will be trying to keep this sanctuary afloat for as long as we can.
Well, since we’re not fond of misleading people, our sanctuary’s mission is hanging in the balance once again. Thanks to many of you, we’ve been able to reduce our last month’s veterinary debt for 80 Euros. But, since then, we’ve had more sick kitties (Mastika, Giuseppe, Grania, Venus, Serena, and Zack) and our total debt is now 330 Euros. Obligatory annual vaccinations of all of the cats against rabies is just around the corner and we have no idea of how we’re going to cover the costs for that either.
We still owe 200 euros for canned wet food and if it weren’t for the Danish group UFFAC (who has donated significant amounts of canned cat food to our cats), we don’t know how we would’ve made it through the end of the month. The cold days have already started and consequently, the shelter residents are craving more food. They are not spoiled, they are just cats and if we want to keep them the way they should be kept, one of their meals has to be wet canned food because kibble just isn’t enough. Also, many of our residents are elderly cats with bad or missing teeth, and wet canned food is all they can eat.
And once again, we are here to humbly ask for your help.
Please donate and help us keep our cat sanctuary running and its mission persisting.

After decades of pressure from PETA, including countless e-mails and phone calls from our supporters, Gucci will finally go completely fur-free very soon.
Its CEO, Marco Bizzarri, announced during London Fashion Week that the brand’s new fur-free policy will begin with the 2018 spring collection—preventing minks, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, and other sensitive animals from being slaughtered for their fur.
Gucci now joins an impressive line-up of major fur-free fashion brands, including Armani, HUGO BOSS, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, and Tommy Hilfiger.

As we have exposed many times in the past on this site; for example; the EU is utterly incapable of enforcing its very own legislation that is supposed to protect live animals in transport – Regulation EU 1/2005 of 22/12/2004.
So again as we have said before, why pay money into a club that cannot even enforce the rules set up by the club ?
And all those alleged super intellegents at the EU are just starting to realise that without the financial contribution UK, the EU is going to have big financial problems. If they had enforced their rules like they are supposed to do, then maybe the people of the UK would have voted to remain in the EU, rather than do a Brexit.
Mr Junker – Head Of EU Commissions – all talk and no enforcement of the regulations.
Here are just a few of our past links showing why we have NO faith in the EU. Video links are included which we suggest you view – the proof that the EU is all talk and no real enforcement action.
Please watch the videos as they show / list all the infringements of Reg 1/2005 which the EU does not undertake.
REVEALED: The 70 BILLION reasons why the EU doesn’t want Britain to LEAVE Brussels
SAV Comment – also as we have shown on this site for 10+ years, the EU does NOTHING to get Serbia to enforce the ‘rule of law’ (supposedly as required by the EU for all nations wishing the join the EU) with regard the treatment and care of stray animals within Serbia. Serbia does not enforce its own rules (national legislation), yet it wants to join the EU. What does the EU do ? – it hands out Billions of Euros to Serbia as a ‘sweetner’ for when it becomes an EU member state, yet neither the EU or Serbia put any pressure on the Serbian government to make sure Serbian strays are treated in accordance with Serbian national legislation.
So why do we in the UK want to support these ‘weasel worders who do nothing’ ? – NO- we get out of the EU and leave them all to pick up the financial tab whilst they continue to enforce nothing ! – a sort of ‘they get what they deserve’ approach many Brits would say.
EUROPEAN Union leaders are desperate for Britain to remain part of the bloc as its huge budget contributions will be sorely missed.
Politicians from across Europe have begun to panic as they have realised they will be €70billion short once the UK leaves the EU.
Regional leaders met in Helsinki for the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPRM), where they questioned the impact of Brexit on the EU budget.
Come March 2019, when Brexit is finalised, the EU’s €1trillion budget will be severely depleted, which could be bad news for some of the smaller regions of the member countries.
The 160 regional presidents gathered in Finland have expressed concerns about what the budget reduction could mean for them.

Dear Mark,
I was visiting this shop today, where five years ago I had glued labels against fur on the price tag of fur articles.
I just wanted to know if and how much fur is still sold there.
In the women’s department I found a lot of fur. No fur coats anymore, that’s been out of fashion anyway.
But a lot of fur collar, furry parts in jackets and coats.
This shop is expensive and elegant.
How can such a department store justify selling fur?
I had this thought, when I had an expensive jacket with a fur collar in my hand. And tried to find out from which victim this came.
I found this “information” about the origin of the fur, and I photographed it, although the saleswoman was very angry.
The Label Says it All
– Produced with ‘care and respect’ on European fur farms!
Have a look here on the links below at the care and respect which is shown on European fur farms.
The last video shows conditions at ‘Europe’s finest fur farm – as run by the Chairman of the European Fur Breeders – see what you think about the ‘care and respect’ undertaken.
This explanation is nothing but a shameful lie.
Like the “bio-lie” with photos of happy cows, who only spend their whole life in dirty, dark stables, but the meat mafia tells the stupid consumers that they only enjoy meadows and sun.
This company wanted to tell us that only the finest animals are used according to the European furry regulations.
Ready to die ? – A fur farm employee and one of her prisoners.
What in fact means: only the best bodies are tortured, massacred, skinned, even under the blessing of the European “animal protection” regulations, which for most animals nothing else is, but considered the lucrative and criminal rules of a crime syndicate called EU !!.
This outrageous lie about the “painless” origin of the fur, seems to me to be a defense of the fur industry.
The effect of education, the protests from the animal rights scene and the organizations is apparently so strong, that they should invent a fairy tale to calm the conscience of the furriers.
“I wear fur too, but animals don`t have to suffer”
“I eat meat, but no animal has to spend his life in hell!”
“I wear fur too, but animals don`t have to suffer”
This is the “bio-lie” which in Germany is also called “Tierwohl”.
This is how the meat mafia works, so the fur mafia works.
The worst is that there are stupid and indifferent consciences who like to believe such lies.
So that they can continue with calm conscience as an accomplice in this industry of torture and brutal exploitation.
There is no animal product which is eaten or worn which is not associated with pain and suffering.
We did it, and we made this world for the animals to hell.
Everyone has to realize this at last, and it is our task to make this reality known to all people.
Due to concerns on animal welfare and ethics, fur farming bans are increasingly widespread. Next to that, more and more countries are phasing out fur farming or are adopting stricter regulations that cause fur farms to close down.
The first countries to ban fur farming were the United Kingdom (2000) and Austria (2004). In December 2012, the Netherlands, which is the EU’s second largest mink producer, passed a ban on fur farming and will phase-out mink production entirely by 2024.
In Croatia a fur farming ban is adopted in 2007 with a 10 year phase-out period for existing farms.
Slovenia banned fur farming in March 2013 with a three year phase-out for existing farms.
Other countries that banned fur farming are Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Serbia
and the Republic of Macedonia.
The most recent country to adopt a fur farming ban is Czech Republic (August, 2017).
Proposed legislation to prohibit fur farming is currently being considered in Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg.
Partial bans
Before The Netherlands adopted a mink ban in 2012, fox and chinchilla fur production was already out-phased in the mid-1990s.
In 2009 Denmark introduced a similar ban including a phase-out period on fox farming.
Hungary adopted a ban on mink, fox and raccoon dog farming in 2011 and only allows rabbit and angora farming.

GRAPHIC – Extreme animal cruelty.
The reality of fur production. Every old Hag who wears a fur coat should be forced to watch this.
We have added this to our recent post on fur (link is below); but you need to see the reality of what fur farming, production and live skinning of animals is really like.
A disgusting video but the reality of fur production – it happens all day, every day.
