Unlocking the Cage follows animal rights lawyer Steven Wise in his unprecedented challenge to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans, by filing the first lawsuits that seek to transform a chimpanzee from a ‘thing’ with no rights to a ‘person’ with legal protections.

In March 2003, the animal rights organization PETA wanted to transfer its broadcast “Holocaust on your plate” from the USA in Germany: “” Holocaust in Ihrem Teller “. Peta wanted to protest with seven posters against the suffering of mast animals.
One of the posters presented a photograph of corpses of prisoners in concentration camps opposite to a heap of slaughtered pigs.
Another placard showed, under the heading “For the Animals, are all people Nazis” prisoners in a row of high beds opposite to choked chickens in live batteries.
“The concept of this campaign goes back to the Jewish Nobel Prize laureate Isaak Bashevis Singer, who said that when it comes to the animals, everyone becomes a Nazi, for the animals is every day Treblinka“, said Harald Ullmann, head of RETA Germany. The ex-president of the Central Council of the Jews, Paul Spiegel, had filed against this campaign. A court in Berlin gave him right and so is banned the campaign in April 2004, in Germany. The European Court of Human Rights confirmed the ruling against the spread of such motifs in Germany, in March 2009.
Nevertheless, the road to the slaughterhouse is the road to Auschwitz.
In this world there is a system of exploitation, cruelty and murder, which can only be measured with the Fascism of the Third Reich. If at that time this system has demanded 6 million Jews (and not Jews) from 1941 to 1945, today this system, our system, has no end, it regenerates itself and incessantly and destroys every day millions of living beings.
Everything, what the Nazis have done to the Jews, we practice now with animals! The same factory of extermination, as at that time in Auschwitz, is now practiced with animals. And we know it.
Today, more than ever, we are informed about the cruel experiments on animals, about the cruel daily executions in slaughterhouses and farms, about the Dachau Schelters for streams. And nevertheless, we walk around as if we were not to blame, as if it is normal and natural to consume violence and death. All the meat and animal products consumers stand on the side of the executioner.
They pay the meat-mafia with their money, they support them. For the animal- holocaust does not bear the fault a small fascist oligarchy, as in the time of national socialism. Consumers pay for the conservation of this system, which consists of torture and death, in slaughterhouses, in farms, in experimental laboratories.
If we know that this world consists of victims and executioners, our task is to act morally and not to cooperate with the executioners.

with my best regards

Hi all,
I just signed the petition “Investigator Speaks Out: Tell the Mexican Government to Stop Abusing Animals” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.
Our goal is to reach 35,000 signatures and we need more support.
You can read more and sign the petition here:
Petition wording:
I visited government-owned-and-operated slaughterhouses across Mexico and was horrified by what I saw.
Pigs were hooked in their mouths, stabbed in their necks, and then left to thrash around and slowly die in their own blood.
Cows were tied up by their horns and limbs. Rendered defenseless, they were stabbed in the back of the neck, over and over again. Workers twisted the knives, digging deeper into the animals’ flesh, causing excruciating pain.
At one facility, a child was encouraged to watch and then to participate in the bloodbath. With a large blade, he stabbed a pig, but completely missed the animal’s heart. The pig thrashed and struggled in agony before a worker viciously bludgeoned him to death with a metal pipe.
All of this was done by government employees and often in front of government inspectors.
It’s time for stronger laws in Mexico to help prevent this egregious animal abuse.
Please join me and Mercy For Animals in calling on the Federal Government of Mexico to pass legislation making it a crime to slaughter animals while they are still conscious.
This is a common-sense measure that would greatly alleviate the suffering of millions of animals a year in Mexico.
Thank you,
“María del Carmen”
Undercover Investigator
Until this legislation is passed, we encourage people to BOYCOTT MEXICO if they have holiday plans for 2017.
Thanks!
Mark
And to close this post with much better things, we present the following for you to enjoy –
Who says an animal will not thank you for helping it ?
Just really sad to see all the others left behind in such terrible conditions.

They are now on their way to a new life of freedom !
Six bears have lived for years on a Vietnamese bile farm – we’re desperate to get them “home for Christmas” and the happiest new year of their lives.
One bear is in a very bad way, with claws growing into his pads. He has also lost two thirds of his tongue at some point !
But the team are working hard as always to make the best of things in the very early days; and once at the rescue sanctuary, full time care and attention can be given to them.
Follow the rescue and situation of the bears with real time up to date links of their journey to freedom; visit:

These are the bile farm bears we’re trying to get home
04 December 2016
These six bears have lived for years on a Vietnamese bile farm – we’re desperate to get them “home for Christmas” and the happiest new year of their lives.
Trapped in medieval-looking cages, six forlorn moon bears – four males and two females – peer out. Through these tiny holes they can see precious little of an outside world they must surely believe has forgotten them.
Each one has routinely suffered the agony of bile extraction. Their cages are lined up side by side but they’ve never been able to reach out and touch a friend. Surely their memories of sunlight and nature are all but gone.
Now, with your help, Animals Asia hopes to rescue them. The Forest Protection Department (FPD) of Dak Lak province where the bears are being kept has been pressurising the owner to give them up. If successful a small window of opportunity to finally end their suffering will open and the rescue team won’t dare delay.
Animals Asia’s Vietnam Director Tuan Bendixsen said:
“We’ve been putting a lot of pressure on Forestry departments in the region to force farmers to give up their bears and it’s starting to bear fruit. Thanks to our welfare work helping rescued elephants like Jun and Gold in the province, we’ve earned the trust of the local Forestry.
“They know that if they can convince the farmers, we can move quickly, take the bears and give them the health care, companionship and happy lives they deserve.”
Any rescue would be a major undertaking – moving six bears, 1,300km from Buon Ma Thuot city back to Animals Asia’s Vietnam Bear Rescue Centre in Tam Dao, just an hour outside of Hanoi.
Animals Asia founder and CEO Jill Robinson MBE said:
“The bears desperately need help. It’s likely that they have been trapped in these tiny cages for up to a decade each. All we know about their health is that they have been tapped for bile and they have most likely lived without any vet care.
“Our priority now is to get them out of there. Then we take their pain away, build up their strength and give them a new life.”

Dear Mark,
The past wounds of so many precious bears have healed and elders like Bronwyn snooze peacefully in the sun.
And at this very moment, your gift is busy helping another poor bile bear as he or she takes those very first steps to sanctuary and freedom.
Thank you for being such a remarkable friend to animals in need.
I wanted to be sure and let you know that your kind gift has reached us safe and sound, and is already working hard for the animals of Asia. For the bears abused on bile farms, the dogs and cats vulnerable to cruelty and for the forgotten captive wild animals.
None of our efforts… not the rescues or the rehabilitation or the medical care or the outreach or the food and safe haven… none of it would be possible without you.
With the happiest of holiday bear hugs from all of us here,
Jill Robinson, MBE, Dr med vet hc, Hon LLD
Founder and CEO, Animals Asia
