Australia: The Commonwealth Games Happy, Dancing Closing Ceremony Does Not Fool Us – Australian Government – You Are Animal Abusers.
Posted on April 15, 2018 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
SAV Comment
We have just endured the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games from the Gold Coast. All happy Australians singing and dancing; people from a nation which supports such an animal abusing industry and government. We could not see anything to sing and dance about – the images of the livestock ships represent the real side that the Australian government want to keep closed. So we give the video footage for you once again to see what Australia is really about.

Regarding our recent post – https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/2018/04/13/australia-the-real-horrors-of-live-exports-now-exposed-and-a-crap-aussie-government/
we now have the following update from Animals Australia.
—————————————————-
This time last week, only live exporters knew the horrors that await every sheep who boards their ships. Now, their secret’s out. And the world is watching.
Nearly 200,000 people added their voice to yours, demanding urgent action. Everyone from Bill Shorten to Israel’s First Lady are ‘shocked’ and ‘disturbed’ by the damning evidence. Calls to shut down the cruel live sheep trade — especially during the deadly northern summer — are escalating.
But Mark, our Government is about to condemn more animals to suffer on live export ships. Only this time, they’re doing it knowing how extreme their suffering will be.
Right now, the ship featured in last Sunday’s explosive 60 Minutes story is docked in Fremantle, Western Australia. The export company responsible for subjecting millions of animals to extreme, routine suffering is preparing to load tens of thousands more animals onto its ‘ship of shame.’
As it stands, it looks like the Australian Government is going to let them.
Not only that — some 85,000 animals have already left our shores on another ship this week. Outrageously, this exporter was allowed to pack the maximum number of animals possible into his vessel. We know what that looks like.
If you’re angry — you’re not alone.
The decision to allow a single animal to set foot onto any of these ships while the entire world is reeling from images of faeces-covered sheep cooking alive, panicked animals gasping for air, piles of dead and rotting bodies, and distressed animals unable to reach food or water … it’s unconscionable.
We cannot — and will not — watch on while more animals suffer.
As you read this, our campaign team is working around the clock to dial up the heat on this cruel trade. In the coming days, we’ll be unveiling what I promise you will be sheep exporters’ worst nightmare. And tonight, 60 Minutes will be airing explosive new footage of live export cruelty obtained by Animals Australia investigators.
Every time the Australian Government allows rich export companies to break laws and subject thousands of gentle animals to abuse … we’re going to turn up the spotlight a little brighter.
If you’re outraged that our Government is willing to let more animals languish on live export ships, you can let them know by:
-
Calling the Prime Minister’s office on 02 9327 3988 (International callers: +61 2 9327 3988)
-
Calling Australia’s Agriculture Minister, David Littleproud’s office: 02 6277 7630 (International callers: +61 2 6277 7630)
-
Calling your MP’s office: click here for the number (Australian residents only)
Mark, this past week we’ve been utterly overwhelmed by your outpouring of support. The victims of this industry have the world on their side.
Thank you,
Lyn White AM

Australia: The Real Horrors Of Live Exports Now Exposed – And A Crap Aussie Government.

Dead animals thrown overboard
One would think that animals arrive alive in a live export. Video footage released by the Australian news magazine 60 Minutes shows for the first time the complete range of maladministration in Australian living exports. The conditions on board are so severe that many animals starve to death, die of thirst, are trampled or succumb to the enormous heat on board. Their dead bodies are simply thrown into the sea. A brave crew member could no longer watch the conditions and documented on five different trips the horror that he had to watch every day.
Overcrowded ships and panting animals
Approximately 60,000 animals are loaded onto a ship for a trip from Australia to the Middle East. Due to the narrowness, many sheep do not have regular access to food and drink. Only the strongest make it to the troughs. All of them stand and lie for days in their own fecal matter and suffer from the enormous heat and high humidity on the ship. The pictures, which were taken in August 2017, show heavily panting animals with their tongues hanging out. In the midst of them decaying conspecifics who could no longer withstand the unbearable temperatures.
No protection for pregnant animals
Although pregnant animals are not allowed to be exported under Australian law, the eyewitness reports that some sheep had to give birth in these circumstances. The little ones often had no chance of survival, as they were lost in the crush their mothers or were trampled by the surrounding animals. The whistleblower also reports that crewmembers have been repeatedly called upon to slit the lambs’ throats. Over 2,400 animals were dead at the end of the journey.
Illegal trade
The conditions on board contradict the Australian animal welfare laws on several levels and are actually illegal.
When Minister David Littleproud was confronted with the footage, he merely stammered that Australia had the highest animal welfare standards in the world for live exports. But for the first time pictures prove the law violations, which increases the pressure on the Australian Ministry of Agriculture.
The Minister of Agriculture promised to hold those responsible to account and prompted preliminary investigations. In addition, the shipment of other animals, by the export company “Emanuel Exports” on which the recordings were created, prevented for the time being. A first and important step towards countering a complete ban on cruel livestock exports.

————————————————————————–
For 60 years, cruelty to animals on live export ships has been kept secret.
There’s no ‘nice’ way to send animals halfway around the world to be killed for meat.
A live sheep isn’t ‘cargo’. He breathes. He thinks. He can suffer. This simple fact may be lost on wealthy live export companies. But it wasn’t lost on one concerned crew member who was horrified by the suffering he witnessed on live export voyages…
This footage exposes an industry acting unlawfully. It reveals what millions of gentle animals have endured for decades, in secret.
And with it — a chance to end the cruelty.
More than 100,000 litres of urine and faeces accumulates on a typical live export ship every day sheep are on board. The ship won’t be ‘washed out’ until after they’ve disembarked.
As the northern summer kicks in, on-board conditions can turn catastrophic.
When temperatures soar — and predictably they do — weeks of untreated waste buildup ‘melts’ into a thick, deadly soup. Any animal needing to lie down to rest risks being buried in excrement.
Corrosive ammonia chokes the air and burns the eyes and throats of those on board. Distressed animals rapidly overheat. Their hearts race as they gasp for oxygen. Trapped in what is essentially a ‘giant oven’, extremely heat stressed animals collapse before literally being cooked alive. Other heat stressed sheep may die slowly over the following days. Those who survive a ‘heat event’ will continue to suffer in this putrid bog, now littered with the decaying bodies of their dead companions.
Imagine being born on a live export ship. The noisy vibrations the only sound you’ll ever hear. The inescapable stench of faeces the only air you’ll ever breathe…
These babies aren’t supposed to be born at all. Live export companies are legally required to ensure all ewes are pregnancy tested by ultrasound and certified not pregnant. And yet, heavily pregnant ewes are being shipped for slaughter like every other animal. Only — they’ll endure the trauma of live export while going into labour and giving birth.
Very few lambs born on a live export ship will ever see the outside world. Many will be trampled, lose their mothers, or be killed by distressed crew members who are routinely ordered to slit their throats.
All this suffering is in aide of one thing: making wealthy live export companies even wealthier. And as it turns out, ‘business as usual’ on one of these ships to the Middle East isn’t just cruel, in many ways it’s illegal.

India: More Great Rescues From ‘Animal Aid Unlimited’ – Great Endings !

Rescue of dog tangled in soccer net.
Tangled up from head to toe, this precious little boy was absolutely baking in the sun, caught in a sports net. The kids who called us for his rescue were too afraid of dogs to cut the rope themselves. But their fears were so unfounded-this little cutypie couldn’t be more affectionate and loving. It turned out he also had the beginnings of mange, so we scooped him up and took him back for a medicated bath and some extra hugs.
Please donate, so that a predicament doesn’t become a tragedy
Terror turned into trust: injured puppy rescued
Felix knew one thing. If you scream as loud as you can, it might save your life. And it worked! People heard this devastated little sweetheart and called us to the rescue without even knowing what was wrong with the weeping puppy.
It turned out he had really deep wounds on his hind leg–maybe caused by a car accident. We scooped him up and got him pain medicine as soon as possible, then sedated him in order to clean and stitch his wounds. This little angel was terrified by people when he arrived. But here, his pain subsided, gentle hands touched him and he found love. It only took 2 weeks for the stitches to be removed-the hair where he’d been shaved hadn’t even grown back yet. And something else happened to him from his hospitalization. Felix grew happy.
Please donate so that cries for help, get help.
Rope almost severed donkey’s foot
The rope almost killed him…
Laying in terrible pain, this sweet donkey’s leg was covered in blood. He was struck down by the cruelty of an ignorant, negligent owner who tied two of his legs together to keep him from running away. In his struggle to free himself, the rope cut through his flesh and muscle. His complete recovery is a marvel, and because of his lion-hearted courage, we named this sweetheart Leon.
You can be a guardian angel for an abused animal. Please donate.
Animals help us know the difference between what is authentic, and what is fake, or phoney, or artifice. When an animal looks at us he or she tells us the whole truth, and nothing but the truth of their feeling. And their truths are sweet and simple. The desire for a soft word, a kind touch, a tasty morsel. The desire to be free to wander and choose for themselves what might or might not happen, during the next 20 minutes. If you’ve ever reached to touch the face of a dog or a donkey or horse who jerks back her head in retreat, she’s not shunning you. She’s simply revealing the fact–the plain fact–that someone before you touched her in a way that hurt her, frightened her. And as we all know–when an animal lets us approach, get close, touch kindly, whisper softly, there’s a truth in that allowance; he or she is saying something like this: I accept you as you are. For me, you are perfect as you are. Whenever you help an animal your kindness–for him or her–is all there is.
With our deepest thanks for all you do and are for animals,

Cambodia: Slaughterhouse – Pigs Killed With Metal Pipe – Some Hit 6 Times.

Warning – Disturbing footage – slaughterhouse.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=47&v=GqKnCoDPdqw
Imagine watching other humans’ throats being cut while they scream in agony and convulse—all while standing in a line knowing that your turn is coming up.
Pigs at this slaughterhouse in Cambodia were left to witness and listen to the violent slaughter of other pigs—sometimes for six hours—before enduring the same terrifying and painful death.
They can’t escape. They can’t stop it from happening.
But you can help.
The pigs subjected to this systematic torture and slaughter are helpless to do anything about it, but you’re not. You can help them simply by not eating animals, because buying meat, eggs, and dairy “products” is what keeps factory farms and slaughterhouses running.
Look at this breaking investigation into a Cambodian slaughterhouse to see for yourself why millions of people are choosing not to support these cruel industries anymore.

Argentina: Terrible Cart Horse Suffering – Animals Killed Within Months Of Being Stolen.

When most people think of Argentina, they thinkof romantic tangos and perhaps of the musical Evita.But they will be shocked to know that Argentina isalso a place where appalling, almost unbelievableabuse of carthorses takes place. |
The horses, many of which are stolen, are literallyworked to death, pull overloaded carts until theycollapse. |
While they lie dying drivers cut off chunks of fleshto sell. |
Once stolen, the horses live for just a few months
because they are so poorly fed and get no
veterinary care. They are routinely flogged
with iron-embedded whips to goad them into
pulling carts overloaded with heavy cargo.
We can tell that many Argentinians are right-handedbecause so many carthorses are blinded in theirright eye by drivers wielding vicious whips.
|
When the horses die their bodies are callouslydumped, often in rivers that run through shantytowns. |
There are some 100,000 carthorses in Argentina.Their lives are short, brutal and filled with neglectand abuse so extreme that it has to be seen to be believed. |
In Argentina, Network for Animals is workingwith volunteers to end this disgraceful situation. |
Ill-treatment of carthorses is illegal, but policeand government mostly turn a blind eye to whatgoes on. |
In Quilmes, a very poor area of Buenos Aires,there are an estimated 5,000 carthorses whoendure lives of hell. It is cheaper to steal anotherhorse than to care for one. |
Local people are fighting to have the Argentiniangovernment ban horse-drawn carts and Networkfor Animals is with them every step of the way.It will take a long time to get a ban, so in themeantime we work together to enforce the lawthat forbids ill-treatment of horses and we rescueevery horse we can. |
It’s dangerous work. Romina Port, a brave,
passionate and dedicated volunteer told us:
“I have had guns held to my head and my life
threatened. Once when I was trying to rescue
an injured, suffering carthorse, I told the owner
I was going to give the horse a better life.
He took out a knife and slit the defenceless
horse’s throat, saying: “this horse doesn’t
deserve a better life”.
On a recent rescue mission, we found Tessa.She was trying desperately to pull an overloadedcart, she had no horse shoes and was being whipped.Mark, if you could have seen her, head droopingexhausted, emaciated, frightened and starving.We rescued Tessa, now she is in a horse sanctuarywhere she will live happily for the rest of her life. |
This is how we will win the battle, one horse ata time. I have pledged to fight for the carthorses of Argentina.Please, please help me. Give generously to Network for Animals to help us end this horror.

Holiday fun Tiger Selfie.
Posted on April 2, 2018 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Holiday fun Tiger Selfie
Once you shoot a selfie with a predator – Thailand holidaymakers can fulfill this wish in zoos. How much the wild animals are suffering, has revealed our reporter in Tiger Park Pattaya.
See in the video how dangerous the contact with the big cats can be.
After ten days, the tiger babies are taken away from the mother.
The tigers in the Tiger Park Pattaya roam freely, apparently lamb-like.
Every visitor can touch the cats, pet them, take a picture with them.
But how do the animals get so tame?
Animal park operator Rustem Isliamov explains it to reporter this way: “From the tenth day of life on, we train them to deal with the many visitors daily, and that they do not incur or bite them.”
He does not tell the reporter how he trains the tigers.
The Tiger wildlife expert Valeria Goller of the animal welfare organization PETA recounts: “The young tigers are regularly beaten to break their will, and only if they have no will, they can later guarantee a safe handling of the audience. The older ones get medication to keep them calm and docile. And all this works only until the tigers become five years old.
Afterwards they are sorted out and kept in cages for the rest of their live or are or are killed for the “traditional” Chinese medicine”.
The fact that a cat follows their instincts is shown by an incident four years ago in the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. The 19-year-old Isabelle Brennan was attacked by a tiger and seriously injured.
Since the tigers were not kept appropriately and illegally, the authorities closed the tiger temple.
The attitude of the animals in the Tiger Park Pattaya is not species-appropriate, says the wildlife expert.
She wants to turn on the authorities now.
Translation: Venus
Comment: While I was translating the report, I had an idea: the zoo keepers could interrupt the medication for the tigers!
Just as a test, to see if the number of visitors automatically reduces, and if the park closes tomorrow.
