Dear Slavica, Elinor and Mark ,
Thank you All for your help and Support.
I will be travelling to Nairobi tomorrow morning to attend the regional Pan African Animal Welfare Alliance meeting. I am not sure to be able to be very reactive as i will spend 48 hours in airports at departure and 48 hours back. I will be back to Marrakech late the 4th of June.
I have put Susan the Founder of the Jarjeer Mules Foundation. She is a wonderfull person.
Thank you All for everything you are doing to save those animals.
Your mobilisation makes the owner scared.
Amal xxx
1./ This petition is about to help more than Sultan, if you check on the fb page of Tommy at Jarjeer Mules Foundation, you will find that we are also talking about 22 horses, 12 camels, 4 ponies, 3 donkeys and 5 dogs, starved by the owner.
2./ All the updates are in this page. It is a very serious British charitie. Even the Spana Marrakech has tried to save the animals when there where in the road during days without food nor water.
3./ The Spana Marrakech pushed and they got the Municipality paper to take them. The night before the owner came to take them to a private place. The Moroccan law unfortunately can not be applied, anymore as the animals are supposed to be no more abandoned. It means that you can starve and torture your animals as there are yours or in your private place.
We need as much signatures as possible, to 1st save all the animals, and push to implement new legislation.
Thank you for all you can do for them. Some are famous films animals. This guy has to stop definitely his activity. There are new updates on the fb page, please read the comments. We need your support
Kind Regards,
Amal El Bekri
USA: Tiger With Terminal Cancer Used As Gimmick By University At Football Games !!
– SAD UNIVERSITY !!
And another important petition – you would think that universities would know better and be more intelligent than to do things like this – abusing animals year after year – obviously not this one !
Intelligent ?? – That’s what universities claim; but in this case we make an exception.
Petition wording:
Target: F. King Alexander, Chancellor of Louisiana State University
Goal: End the use of live tigers as mascots at sporting events.
For the past few years, Louisiana State University (LSU) has been bringing out a live, caged tiger to its football games. The university has gone through six tigers, and its current tiger has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. While the college claims to be providing Mike world class care, this should take place in a sanctuary, not a cage.
Holding wild animals captive is detrimental to their physical and mental health. These animals should be running through the trees, enjoying the sunshine, and engaging in natural behaviors. Instead, these tigers have been carted around for entertainment, confined in small cages, and forced to endure the large, loud crowds of university football games.
It is cruel to continue treating the tiger in this manner. He deserves to have some peace and happiness for his remaining time on earth. Sign this petition and demand LSU retire its tiger and no longer use live animals as mascots.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Alexander
For years, your university has been using live, caged tigers as the school’s mascot. In the time that you have used live animals, LSU has gone through six tigers. The current tiger has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
It is cruel to continue forcing this tiger to endure long, loud and hectic football games and letting him waste away in a cage. He deserves happiness and freedom in his final days. Please consider sending him to an accredited sanctuary.
Animals in captivity face many problems when it comes to their physical and mental health. It is not fair to use these animals as entertainment and to deny everything that is natural to them. Please consider no longer using live animals as mascots.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Dear Mark,
Geese after feathers plucked for down at a feather farm in China.
PETA and PETA Asia have uncovered shocking cruelty to geese connected with so-called “responsible” down and feather suppliers. The Responsible Down Standard actually allows certified companies to deal in feathers that are live-plucked in addition to the ones that aren’t.
Workers were seen ripping geese’s feathers out while they were fully conscious, leaving open, bloody wounds. Some geese struggled and cried out, while others were paralyzed with fear. Workers pinned them down by stepping on their delicate wings and necks and tightly binding their feet together.
PETA dug deeper and found that the farms that are live-plucking birds or dealing in live-plucked feathers sell to “Non Live-Plucked Products Guarantee” or “Responsible Down Standard” companies, the same companies that agree to “ensure humane treatment of animals.” One buyer even bragged about misleading customers and live-plucking in secret. These certified companies supply down to clothing and bedding companies such as Eddie Bauer, Lands’ End, and Hollander Sleep Products.
With your help, we can push retailers to remove down from their shelves and put an end to this cruelty. All you have to do is take action today. Thank you.

Three great stories, all with very happy endings, which shows the excellent work of Animal Aid Unlimited in India. Although hard to watch at first, all have great endings. Enjoy
A severely injured puppy had gone to a temple to find shelter. We found him covered in blood and in critical condition.
Watch his amazing recovery!
Watch the amazing recovery of a street dog gravely injured from a brutal injury on her head.
An elderly street dog had been stuck in a sewage gutter and was also badly injured.
We are sure you will agree; some brilliant work to help animals which are more than in need – desperate !
Thank you.

This week is UK National Vegetarian Week.
Have a look at the following links and enjoy your trip around the sites, seeing how you can still really enjoy your food whilst ditching animal suffering at the same time. Win win !
And for those who still enjoy ‘manly meat’ – Enjoy your steak !!!
Dear Mark,
The American appetite for meat — which is 4 times the global average — is eating away at wild habitat, water and even our climate. Yet while other governments have taken specific steps to recommend diets lower in meat and dairy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture continues to cater to the livestock industry, leaving sustainability out of important policy conversations like our national dietary guidelines.
Think about it: Americans eat 50 billion pounds of meat a year, yet our farms don’t even produce enough fruits and vegetables to meet the 2.5 cups a day recommended in the national dietary guidelines. Something is wrong with this picture.
It’s time for the USDA to create a plan to address the urgent need for Americans to reduce meat and dairy consumption and eat a healthy, sustainable diet. National guidelines on diets have enormous influence on how people eat, including in schools and government facilities.
Join us in urging the USDA to issue a public statement and plan of action to promote a sustainable American diet.

Kitten season has kicked into full gear and abandoned babies, frequently just born and with their umbilical cords still attached, are literally everywhere.
Irresponsible cat owners here feel that spaying/neutering is cruel, but I guess separating the youngsters from their nursing mothers and leaving them next to a trash can to fend for themselves when they aren’t even able to eat alone (or throwing them inside the waste container) isn’t cruel at all.
Of course, it’s impossible to know who the mother cats belong to, but it’s also highly improbable that a stray cat would pack her kittens into a carrying bag or a box and leave them in a dumpster. Year after year the same thing happens and year after year the overall situation is getting worse.
Although almost all animal rescuers are already getting hoarse from repeating that spay/neuter surgery is necessary for pets, far too many cats and dogs end up on the street and the animal shelters are overflowing with all of the new arrivals.
OK, rant over. These six babies were left in a cardboard box in front of the mall when they were maybe 10 days old. Two of them hadn’t even opened their eyes yet because their eyelids were glued shut with pus. They have been hand raised and bottle fed for a month now, as they were not progressing the way they should; moreover, all of them had a chlamydia infection and ringworm. Just great. Five of them finally pulled through and began to eat on their own, but the tiniest one, a little black girlie with a white tip to her tail, who had been the smallest and weakest from the very beginning, seemed to be dying a week ago. She had been given strong antibiotics for days and then the UV scan showed that her liver and stomach were enlarged, so more drugs (vitamins and hepatoprotectives) were added to her daily therapy.
She needed around the clock care, her chances were slim to none, but she didn’t want to die and she definitely wasn’t ready to give up. Bone skinny, feeble and frail, she valiantly fought for her life with every ounce of her fragile strength and she’s made it! Boy… that was close.
To our great joy, she doesn’t need to be fed with a syringe anymore, she eats on her own and even though she is at least two times smaller than any of her siblings, she is very serious about growing big. The little black girl already has a sponsor, our dear friend Kim, who named her Phoenix, as she defeated death by a hair’s breadth and sprang back to life.
If any of you would like to virtually adopt and name any of these cutie pies, we would be extremely grateful! And if you’re unable to sponsor one of them, please give us a hand with the costs of their upbringing which are already skyrocketing with some help from their vet bills.

Dear Mark,
Today we have launched a new major petition calling on politicians across the UK to ban the manufacture, sale and use of snares –
Snares are the landmines of the countryside. They are cruel and indiscriminate killers of wild animals and pets and we can’t understand why, in the 21st century, the UK remains one of just five countries in Europe that has not yet banned them.
Last month our investigators visited a shooting estate in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, and found a hare trapped in a snare. We have explained the hare’s tragic story in a new film exposing the horror of snares, and we would be so grateful if you could watch and share the film to help us raise vital awareness.
1.7 million animals will be snared in the UK this year. That is one every 20 seconds.
So, in the time it takes you to read this email… yet more animals will fall victim to snares. This has to stop!
Please share the petition with your friends and family.
