Please send message regarding extreme animal abuse:

August 11, 2011

by Stacey

Please send message requesting authorities investigate a dog being set on fire; you may use the Sample Letter but please modify and shorten.

BACKGROUND

From Foundation for Animal Aid on Crete

Venetia Soulakeli was taking care of a female dog in the back of the factory “Lixnia”, in Kokkinos Milos at the area of Acharnes in Athens, at Friday the 5th. Venetia, as always, went to feed the dog; the poor dog was ready to give birth to her puppies. The dog created her nest for the babies there in the rubbish under chipboard. A few hours later the dog was found burned alive, set on fire while giving birth to her pups. She must have felt horrendous pain from the delivery of the puppies and from the fire, too, because her bowel was out of her body. The pictures speak for themselves.

The so-called “human” who set fire to the rubbish must have seen the dog hidden beneath the chipboard giving birth to her puppies.

Please email the Press Officer of the Ministery of Citizens Protection Headqaurters in Athens to make sure that this is not going to be unpunished and hushed up. They have to do everthing to find the culprit.

Bullfighting Now Protected Under Ministry Of Culture In Spain (POLL)

Bullfighting in Spain, so fundamental to the country’s identity but so vehemently opposed by many of its citizens, won a victory this week with a reclassification that will make it more difficult to ban.

The Guardian reports that the government of Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has announced that the controversial sport will now be regulated under the Ministry of Culture instead of the Ministry of the Interior. This move will afford greater protection against regional governments and animal rights groups that have sought to see the corrida outlawed.

After Catalonia implemented a regional ban last year, the conservative Popular Party and others supported the change in classifying the sport, which has now been recognized by the Ministry of Culture as “an artistic discipline and cultural product” of the Kingdom of Spain.

The sport, or art, which has seen its audience decline over the past several decades, remains perhaps the most emblematic symbol of Spain. Ernest Hemingway believed bullfights were “of great tragic interest,” and devoted his book, Death In The Afternoon, to discussing the traditions and values of the bullfighting community. The figure of the bull has long been involved in various aspects of Spanish culture, getting its chance at comeuppance during the Running of the Bulls and appearing throughout the works of Spain’s most famous artist, Pablo Picasso.

Does the cruelty outweigh the tradition, or vice versa? Vote for your opinion in the poll below.

Here is a selection of pictures taken during the last week showing wild boar that has been slaughtered by hunters in Germany.  Animals which have been killed by the hunters, and then their bodies then simply disposed of in ‘animal waste’ bins, which are collected weekly for ‘disposal’ by the local authorities.

What is the point of taking life like this ?

And they call themselves ‘men’ ?

More photographs of this barbaric blood lust by the sad, obviously ‘frustrated with something in life’ fraternity will be published in the coming weeks.
