A comment on the dancing butcher.
“To be happy, a butcher does not need good or crown
Work has its own reward! “(Bertolt Brecht)
And this is a dance of death in a slaughterhouse in Sao Paolo!
In the presence of enthusiastic colleagues, a butcher organizes a dance of death in Samba style.
He proves the last tribute to the slaughtered animal by dancing with it.
With the knife in his hand yet, he bows to his dance partner and thus completes the act of death.
For me the tragedy of this show is in his conviction that only the pig is dead.
But in reality, the butcher himself is dead, only he does not know, that’s the tragedy of history.
Empathy, respect, sensitivity, even professionalism, everything is dead inside him.
He could not dance a better presentation of his bluntness, of his moral mutilation.
It’s the death dance of zombies.
A moral corpse, that’s what he is, what they are all human carnivores.
Now here in England we have reached a major position in this campaign.
Whilst many of us would love to see all the slaughterhouses entirely closed down, the government has announced that it intends to install cctv in all areas of all slaughterhouses where animals are present. Crucially, slaughterhouse vets (which are required by law) will be allowed unrestricted access to all of the footage.
This is a significant amount of progress in a long and hard campaign. We welcome the proposals but like many others, still say that you can never make the process of killing animals cruelty free. In the very welcome consultation, which does take the views of all sides involved, there have been demands from welfare groups to allow for proper independent spot checking of footage.
The consultation period has now closed, but welfare organisations are keeping up the pressure to ensure that all the plans are implemented. There are also campaigns in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; which along with England make up the whole of the UK, to introduce similar legislation.
There has been good news in Scotland where the Scottish Parliament has pledged to also hold a consultation on the issue.
Hopefully soon we will witness new cctv legislation in both England and Scotland. This is a major victory for the welfare groups who at the end of the day are trying to get the best they can for animals.
We will continue to update on this important issue whenever we have more news.
You can best help by going Vegan and preventing any animals from going to slaughter in the first place!

5th November is always remembered here in the UK as ‘Guy Fawkes Night’. Fireworks and bonfires spread all across the land in memory of the Gunpowder Plot of 1604.
Guy Fawkes is often toasted as “the last man to enter Parliament with honest intentions“. Many today would agree with this statement.
Below is a documentary by UK Channel 4 on the gunpowder plot. Enjoy !

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.
Our recent post relating to this -including a video about Chinese Fur Farming.

PLEASE HELP ELLIE WALK AGAIN!
If we can’t raise funding for her tests and scans then the only real option for Ellie is PTS
We are yet again thrust into a nightmare scenario where one of our gentlest of souls is currently under veterinary care whilst they try to diagnose a very serious neurological issue. Ellie has never been given a chance of a home or a chance to show her gentle kindness, simply because she is a Rottweiler, and yet, she is the sweetest, gentlest, and most beautiful of souls we have ever been privileged to meet.
This week Ellie has taken a really bad turn. Her back legs have given out. She is a young dog and we are still at the vets with her trying to figure out what the issue is. For sure it’s neurological, but this darling girl just doesn’t understand what is going on. She is so down, crying, whimpering for reassurance and it’s tearing us apart that we the answer until we can provide her with series of tests.
She needs MRI and other several in depth tests that the vet needs to do, but the biggest cost is the time taken to do these. Without the tests and our fast reaction she may not walk again. Her front legs have given out and we can only know if surgery or physio can correct this.
If we can’t raise funding for her tests and scans then the only real option for Ellie is PTS.
She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her and we can’t explain. We just know she needs medical help and without your precious help we simply cannot afford this. We are a tiny rescue charity, utterly dependant on you, our loving supporters to help us with each of our rescues. You are our rescue. We truly can’t do anything for our dogs without you. You are the lifeblood of our rescue and the only people who care enough to help this poor girl to walk again.

Marked: For Ellie
She can’t speak, she can’t ask, she can’t beg. We are her voice and we want to save her life and get to the bottom of this critical problem. Without your support her chances are very slim indeed.
Please, we beg you, help this big girl to feel the joy of walking normally again.
Thank You,

More positive action in the House of Commons to ban live animal exports from the UK once it leaves the EU.
Teresa Villiers (Conservative Member of Parliament) introduced a ten minute bill into the House of Commons asking to ban Live Animal Exports for slaughter or further fattening as soon as we leave the European Union.
She confirmed that all attempts to do this over the years since the 1970’s had failed due to EU free trade rules.
She covered people’s concerns over the World Trade Organisation which controls trade even once we leave the EU. This organisation has written into its rules that trade can be stopped if it effects the general publics morals and already things like seal skins, dog fur, cat fur, ivory etc where coming under these rules and countries were banning the import of such items.
We thank Teresa and other supporters of this Bill, which passed and is now heading forward to its second reading – The bill went through unopposed and the second reading is to be on the 2nd February 2018.
Hopefully, the UK taking positive moves for action when the EU does not give a toss. Yet another reason why the people of the UK voted to leave the EU.

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.
