SAV Comment – we find this video very disturbing. Is this the way young children should act with dead animals ? – are there now not enough methods of learning about the structure of any animal without having to physically cut one into bits ? – and where exactly did the high school obtain all these dead cats from ? – Dangerous, very dangerous; will kids like this look at human death in such a trivial way in future ?
He who disregards the suffering of animals at an early age often disregards the suffering of humans in later life – or they even become responsible for it !!!

PETA has obtained a disturbing video that was apparently filmed at Oklahoma City’s top-ranked Harding Charter Preparatory High School.
The footage depicts heartless students wearing lab coats and playfully dancing with dead cats slated to be dissected in their biology class.
The video of the choreographed display was posted on social media, and the students’ teacher was even tagged in the post.
Students learn faster and better by using non-animal methods such as interactive software programs, and with these modern tools, they don’t learn to treat or think of animals as equipment to be used and discarded.
Please speak up for cats by urging Harding Charter Preparatory School to investigate the circumstances of this video and switch to non-animal teaching methods: http://peta.vg/1l94.

PeTA
Help the World’s Loneliest Orca
Nearly half a century ago, Lolita was taken from her family in the wild. Now she lives here:
Wild members of Lolita’s family are highly social, stay with their mothers for life, travel up to 100 miles per day, and dive hundreds of feet below the water’s surface, all while Lolita is imprisoned at the Miami Seaquarium in the smallest orca tank in North America.
And Lolita hasn’t seen another orca since her tankmate died after ramming his head into the side of the tank more than 35 years ago.
Lolita’s family members, who still swim in the area where she was captured, were listed as endangered, in part because dozens of orcas were stolen from the ocean around the same time as Lolita.
Following a petition by PETA and others, the National Marine Fisheries Service granted Lolita those same protections under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We believe that confining Lolita to a small, shallow, and barren concrete tank—where she has been unable to swim any meaningful distance, dive, forage, or carry out virtually any natural behavior for more than 40 years and where she is without an orca companion or protection from the hot sun—violates the ESA.
PETA, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Orca Network, and two concerned individuals have notified the Miami Seaquarium of their intent to sue, as required by the ESA, in behalf of Lolita and seeking her freedom from the facility.
Lolita could be released to a sea pen in her native waters for rehabilitation and to live out the remainder of her days near her family in as natural of a setting as possible.
Add your name to the list of people who want to see Lolita freed!

-In May 2014, an undercover investigator from Mercy For Animals Canada documented horrific animal cruelty at the largest dairy producer in Canada, Chilliwack Cattle Company in British Columbia.investigator reveals sadistic animal abuse at Canada’s largest dairy factory farm – a Dairyland milk supplier. Workers kick, beat, and drag cows by their necks with chains attached to tractors!!

★Workers using chains and tractors to lift sick and injured cows by their necks

THIS IS VERY EARLY NEWS THAT WE ARE GETTING THROUGH – UNCONFIRMED BUT WE ARE WORKING TO GET MORE INFORMATION. WE HAVE JUST HEARD THAT THE SERBIAN AUTHORITIES WERE VERY SUPRISED BECAUSE ALL THE ANIMAL WELFARE NGO’S WORKED TOGETHER AND MADE VERY STRONG CASE. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION AT PRESENT; BUT FROM OUR 10 YEARS PAST EXPERIENCE; THE GOVERNMENT HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO OUR SUGGESTIONS TO DATE, SO WHY WOULD THEY NOW ?
– WE WILL GIVE MORE NEWS WHEN WE HAVE IT.
Latest news in from another source: 2050hrs GMT 12/5/15.
I can say that it seems to me after reading the feedback from the associations present at the joint meeting on Monday, that the ministry has finally seen united voice from all animal protection associations and few NVOs present. This came as a surprise to them and the fact that all present were very knowledgeable of the law and situation in general and what doesn’t work, how to correct it…
We shall see what happens next.
Disappointed to hear that there is not much support from the enlargement commissioner!
Mark please tell your members that not all is lost that we had a very positive feedback so far!
Kind regards
Vesna

1045hrs GMT 12/5/15.
We have just had the following information sent to use via our ‘Contact’ route.
Everything you read here; including the link is what we have been given. We will now have to decide what route we are going to take – it may be to pull away from ALL Serbian animal activities because no matter what you do and what info and links you supply; people who should be demanding change; such as the EU Enlargement Commission; appear to be doing very little to enforce Serbia to clean up its act with regard corruption and the rules of law as set down by the Constitution.
So you have to ask yourself; if you cannot rely on the ‘important’ people at the EU, then what is the point of doing anything ? – the EU is utterly useless in most EU citizens eyes; and this situation is yet another issue which supports this. The EU Enlargement Commission can never bother to contact us about anything; yet they spend OUR money propping up a corrupt government within Serbia !

Message: We, animal lovers and supporters of animals in Serbia want to inform whole world that, regardless all complaints of animal welfare, in spite of all emails, in spite of all fake meetings government
arranged, where animal welfare suggestions were refused, in spite of everything, against The Consitution, Government of Serbia will introduce Kill policy in shelters, fur farms in the country, barbaric treatment of all animals, which will support corruption.
Animal welfare in Serbia won’t exist any more.
It will be dead letter on the paper.

Cholita the Abused Circus Bear Enjoys Her First Steps to Freedom
Video footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHUvB9wWy48
Just a few weeks after we heard about the heartbreaking plight of Cholita, an abused circus bear in Peru who desperately needed a new home, her rescuers have successfully brought her to safety and are giving her the love and care she deserves.
Cholita, who was nicknamed the real-life Paddington bear, is an endangered Andean bear, but it’s hard to tell by looking at her.
Images and video of Cholita previously taken by Animal Defenders International (ADI), the organization behind the effort to bring her to safety, are heartbreaking and tell quite a story about her abusive past in entertainment.
Her fingers had been cut off to remove her claws and her teeth were smashed to leave her unable to defend herself, according to ADI. She should be covered in thick fur, but her body is bald as a result of alopecia, which her rescuers believe was caused by stress.
She had been confiscated by authorities and placed in a zoo until a permanent home could be found for her, but there was nowhere for her to go in Peru. ADI heard about her during a rescue it was participating in at a nearby circus and stepped in to save her.
They took custody of her from the zoo and after a two-day journey traveling in her former circus cage to ADI’s rescue center in Lima, Cholita is finally getting to enjoy some of the simple comforts that were denied to her for so long.
According to ADI, for the first time in her life she’s been able to make nests, enjoy good food and play in a bath.
“Cholita has taken her first steps to freedom and is clearly enjoying herself at the ADI rescue centre, making cosy deep straw nests and eating her favourite foods, especially grapes.” said ADI President Jan Creamer. “She is elderly and quite frail so we are keeping her under close observation to monitor her health. With the public’s continuing and heartfelt response we can give this sweet bear the brighter future she deserves.”
While she’s now safe, she’s only part of the way through her journey to her forever home at a sanctuary.
Following Peru’s ban on wild animals in circuses, ADI has rescued nearly 80 animals in a months-long mission dubbed Operation Spirit of Freedom. Last week, 39 monkeys, coati mundis and kinkajous saved during the operation were finally released into their new sanctuary home in the Amazon rainforest.
The next step of the operation involves transporting Cholita, along with 33 lions and a tiger, on a flight to their new home at the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado next month where they will all live out their days free from their past lives.
As we continue to oppose the use of wild animals in entertainment, more and more countries are taking a stand against their abuse by banning them from circuses. Help wild animals in the U.S. have a future like this by signing and sharing the petition urging Congress to take action on their behalf by banning them here too.
