Spain: Rocio Update 3/03/12 – She Has Now Had Her Operation.

Posted on March 3, 2012 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Dear All, 

The operation was very complicated because the bones had already fused together due to the weeks that had passed since the accident but she is doing well. We are waiting for the new pics from after the op but here you´ll find the latest made.

Now she will stay at the clinic for a week and then she will need a temporary (or better still, permanent!) loving home where to recover so if you have any Spanish contacts that might help please forward this message to them, thank you.

We still have a shortfall of about 300 euros for the surgeon’s bill so please keep telling your animal loving contacts about this sweet girl. Right now the shelter is literally inundated with animals that require urgent veterinarian care (mainly galgos, Spanish greyhounds abandoned by the hunters) so this is very hard for them and the animals.

Lastly, if you know of any good people that would like to volunteer on a working holiday to help at the shelter (taking the doggies out, cleaning, feeding etc) they would be more than welcome! If they have knowledge of Spanish they can contact María Teresa directly at  animalesdebaeza@gmail.com, otherwise they can write to me or ring me at 0033 555476873 This is an outstanding organization in Spain, as they have taken over the dog pound and are running it as a no-kill shelter, an example for all the world to follow. The shelter is in Baeza, not far from Jaén in Andalusia.

Thank you again.

Iris

Last night I was happily informed that Rocío will be operated on tomorrow, finally!

The surgeon that will carry on the operation said this is a very urgent case that could not wait one more day. The shelter still does not have the full amount needed to pay for the operation but one trusts that will be reached by next week!

THANK you from Rocío and María Teresa to the wonderful people that have already donated and helped in different ways with the appeal, María Teresa will write to you individually as soon as she has the time, she asks that every donation be given with the E-mail address of the donor please.

We will keep you updated every step of the way.

Hong Kong International Fur & Fashion Fair 2012
Welcome to the German Pavilion at Hong Kong International Fur & Fashion Fair
2012!

25 – 28 February 2012
Hong Kong, P. R. China

Welcome to the presentation of the Federal Republic of Germany!

The German exhibitors, the German Fur Association of Wholesalers and Traders
and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology welcome you to the
official presentation at Hong Kong International Fur & Fashion Fair 2012.

The fur trade has always been international in its business activities.
Since important sales markets have moved to the east, the member companies
of the German Fur Association of Wholesalers and Traders have intensified
their endeavours on those markets that are particularly receptive to fur.

In this respect Hong Kong plays an outstanding role. This is partly due to
the importance of Hong Kong as such but also to the function of its
established ‘Hong Kong International Fur & Fashion Fair’ that becomes more
and more important for the international fur trade.

Get in contact with German companies!

German products and services are setting international highest level
standards in quality and reliability!

Get in contact and meet your German partners at Hong Kong International Fur
& Fashion Fair 2012.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Spain: ** WARNING **’Animal Equality’ (Uk and Spain) Expose MORE THAN GRAPHIC PIG ABUSE at Mucian Farm.

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Animal Equality reveals the hidden sadism and brutality on a pig farm in Murcia (Spain).

These new and shocking images show the exploitation endured by animals in the meat industry.

Subject: Pigs brutally stabbed with swords on Spanish pig farm/MORE MEAT PRODUCTION EXPOSURE

BEWARE SOME OF THE TEXT BELOW IS HORRIBLE TO EVEN READ NEVER MIND SEE

– – – – – – – – – – – – –

Hi all,

this morning our organization (in Spain and in UK) has just released a
shocking video with images filmed at a pig farm in El Escobar, located in
Fuente Alamo in the Spanish region of Murcia. The video shows some of the
most brutal scenes of violence against animals at farms that our
Investigation Team has ever witnessed.

Animal Equality in Spain has pressed charges against the farm owner and
workers.

Marco Verduga Vinicio, one of the farm workers who has handed over the
footage, has revealed that the animals are bred for the food company El
Pozo (the second largest pig meat producers in Spain).
To spread the word over in UK we found out that ElPozo also sells its
products to the leading supermarket Morrisons.

Thanks to Marco Verduga Vinicio, Animal Equality has found that these
events occur frequently on the farm El Escobar owned by Francisco Vera
Sanchez, and that the farm managers are aware of this. In fact it is they
who request these actions, have been filmed engaging in them, and have
established these methods as the norm for killing animals at the farm.

The footage that we obtained are the following:

• Workers hitting pigs on their heads with iron bars, jumping on top of
them, kicking them, and posing in front of a camera with the pigs

• Workers attacking and killing pigs with meter-in-length swords

• The hitting of a pregnant pig with a bar before cutting her abdomen and
uterus with a knife whilst she’s still conscious, then pulling of piglets
out of her uterus and killing her because she isn’t fit for the
slaughterhouse

• This pig, tied and immobilised, unsuccessfully tries to escape while the
workers for several minutes pulls out the piglets. They remove her
intestines, liver and other internal organs while she suffers terribly.
The animal is left in agony with internal organs spread over the ground
until she dies several minutes later

Harling Farm Exposed!

Animal Equality has carried out a ground-breaking two-month undercover investigation on a ‘Quality Assured’ (Red Tractor) farm in Norfolk – Harling Farm, belonging to A. J. Edwards & Son. Harling Farm is typical of a farm in Britain.

Over 200 hours of footage and recorded conversations, and more than 300 photos provide a shocking insight into the British pig industry and demonstrate that regardless of whether a farm is labelled as ‘Quality Assured’ there exists pain, suffering and exploitation on a huge scale.

Serbia: BIG Freeze Across Europe – Latest Pictures From Cat Shelter ‘Felix’. Can You Help With A Donation ?

Hi, Mark,

I just wanted to send you some photos. It’s snowing so heavily these days that I’m starting to fear the tremendous snow would cause the roof to collapse. Some of my kitties enjoy playing in the snow, the others prefer to stay inside so everyone can do as they want and what they want. Many of them don’t mind the snow.

As you may know, Serbia has succumbed to the deep freeze gripping Europe, with plunging temperatures and icy winds – and there’s no end in sight. I was literally cut off by snow for days and worried sick about the roof and wire mesh, but most of my kitties were having the time of their life, running through the snow, jumping and playing. We’ll see what tomorrow brings…

We’ll be in touch!

England, Uk: Pictures From The Jill Phipps Memorial Day – Ramsgate, 4th February 2012.

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Jill was crushed under a livestock transporter carrying calves for export on 1st Feb 1995.

Uk (England): 1st February – In Memory of Jill Phipps (15 January 1964 — 1 February 1995) – Warrior of the Rainbow.

See Jill’s film (4 Parts) – Note that this film is now several years old, and many issues have changed; some for the better, some are still as they were and some, well, have possibly declined even more !

Musical Tribute to Jill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra1DgyTt1TI

Jill Phipps (15 January 1964 — 1 February 1995) was a British animal rights activist who was crushed to death in Baginton, Warwickshire, England by a lorry transporting live veal calves heading for continental Europe via Coventry Airport.

Fatal accident

On 1 February 1995, Phipps was one of 35 protesters at Coventry Airport in Baginton, protesting at the export of live calves to Amsterdam for distribution across Europe. Ten protesters broke through police lines and were trying to bring the lorry to a halt by sitting in the road or chaining themselves to it when Phipps was crushed beneath the lorry’s wheels; her fatal injuries included a broken spine. Phipps’ death received a large amount of publicity, being brought up at Prime Minister’s question time in the House of Commons.

The Crown Prosecution Service decided there was not enough evidence to bring any charges against the driver. Phipps’ family blamed the police for her death, because the police appeared determined to keep the convoy of lorries moving despite the protest. The inquest heard that the driver may have been distracted by a protester running into the road ahead of him, who was being removed by a policeman.

The policeman in charge of the protest speculated that Phipps had chosen “deliberately [to] fall” under the wheels of the truck, but Phipps’ father insisted that she did not want to die as she had a young son to live for.

Aftermath

Veal calf exports from Coventry Airport ended months later, when the aviation firm belonging to the pilot responsible for the veal flights, Christopher Barrett-Jolly, went bankrupt following accusations of running guns from Slovakia to Sudan in breach of EU rules. In 2006 he was charged with smuggling 271 kg of cocaine from Jamaica into Southend airport.

The continuing level of protest was such that several local councils and a harbour board banned live exports from their localities.[4] All live exports of calves later stopped due to fears of BSE infection. In 2006 this ban was lifted, but Coventry Airport pledged that it would refuse requests to fly veal calves.
