Timeout time;
Links below to the brilliant ‘Siouxsie Sioux’ – who originated very close to us here at a place called ‘Bromley’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromley which is on the South London / Kent border. I know Bromley very well.
Siouxsie was originally part of the ‘Bromley Contingent’ who started around the early days of the punk scene in the UK. She, along with her group; ‘the Banshees’; were on the UK music scene for around 30 years.
Enjoy a few of her tracks here:
and something that has some great personal memories for me; even now – her name was Laraine !! Whenever I hear ‘Swimming Horses’ she is the first thing I think about:
If you want some good music then Siouxsie and the Banshees recordings are a must.
More news and some great pictures to come from Danica and the crew at Shelter Felix (Serbia) tomorrow. Stand by for some great photos tomorrow; including our latest adopted member of SAV, named ‘Utata’.

Why not send Happy New Year – Never Again greetings to your own national Nepal embassy ? – here is the link – just scroll down and select your nation.
and then scroll further down in this post for yet more links.

From CIWF:
Don’t worry. We know it’s not December 31st! But April 14th does mark the start of a New Year in Nepal. Across the world millions use the New Year as an excuse to make a resolution to change for the better. Now it’s time for the Nepalese Government to make a New Year’s resolution.
Thanks to a local and international campaign, there was a reduction in the number of farm animals killed at the Gadhimai Festival last November. But tens of thousands still endured the terrifying experience of this event, and faced an inhumane death. There are also many smaller slaughter festivals that take place throughout the year in Nepal.
Thank you so much for your support.
Best wishes,
Pru Elliott
Campaigns Officer

We are all familiar with the excellent work of Sasha and his dog shelter in Serbia – most of you took part in the recent campaign to save his facility – Please note that everything is fine now and any petitions and campaign organised in the recent past have stopped:
Vesna here in London has been in contact with ‘Harmony Fund’ – and they are fully aware of, and keeping track of the current proposal situation for stray animals within Serbia as we are.
What we are hoping is, that the Serbian government will allow the public decision making process to take place so that this matter can be dealt with as laid down in the law. Let us all stand by for their next move which they said will be happening in April and which they were planning to finish (the proposal) in May!
We have to continue to put the global pressure on the decision makers and not let another Romania happen all over again. To ensure that we don’t have a ‘Romania 2’ regarding the abuses of stray dogs and cats; we are keeping the EU Enlargement Commission aware of what is happening; even though they are not bothering to contact us.
Watch dog rescuer Sasha Pesic (the same Sasha from the shelter above) scale the column of a bridge to reach a frightened dog stranded on an icy riverbank.
Scroll down a little more and you will see ways in which you can donate to Harmony Fund to help the animals in Serbia.
Enjoy the video – which has a good ending !!

As the lady in the second video says; we ALREADY regard the Australian government and exporters as the lowest kind of humankind on the planet – and yet despite the great work and demonstrations shown by many Australian citizens against this trade; the government is still continuing to only support the industry whilst completely ignoring all the animal cruelty atrocities which are presented time after time, after time, after time.
Now we are finding that the Australian government is on the verge of setting up a deal with China (yes China ! – The animal abusing Australian government does a deal with animal abusing China) – Australia is finalizing plans to ship an estimated one million cattle to China each year. If the $1 billion deal is signed, the number of cattle exported would double from its current levels.
The Australian government are interested in one thing and one thing only – and it is something they are world leaders in – causing untold animal abuse and suffering – and making money from live exports; from massive animal abuse and suffering. They are a dead bead, dragknuckle Australian government that are just hell bent on propping up an animal abusing industry which leads the world in animal abuse. In the UK we have been supporting our Australian anti-export friends for many years. And now we are getting news of some excellent activity in the USA……………………..
For the first time ever, U.S. animal rights activists are staging a protest against Australia’s live export trade. The organizer, Loretta Smalls, says it’s “a show of solidarity with thousands of our Australian brothers and sisters who are fighting to ban the horrific practice.” The protest will take place at the Australian consulate in Los Angeles on April 15th.
Please watch the videos and then write and tell us that the Australian live export industry and government are supportive of animal welfare !! – also tell us if you think the Australian government are some of the biggest animal abusers on the planet – does the videos below not show this ? – these are Australian animals exported by a disgusting industry.
Further Links:
We hope by watching some or all of the above, you will now have decided about the Australian governments decision to support the live export industry at the cost of enforcing good and strong animal welfare. They are in final discussions to export live animals to China for Gods sake !!
This is what the Chinese do to live animals:
Will their treatment of Australian animals be any different ? – NO !!
– Does the Aus Government Care ? – NO.
And now; thanks to a dragknuckle Australian government; we will probably be witnessing over 1 million live animals exported to this kind of suffering and fate by the Chinese if the Australian-China deal goes ahead.
And all this animal abuse and suffering; for what ? – in political terms they call it ‘a good, vibrant economy’. In the real world where normal people live; we call it ‘untold animal abuse and suffering for profit – nothing more; nothing less’.
Big shame on a dragknuckle Australian government led by the biggest dragknuckle of them all –
Australian Export Demo:
If you can do the protest in Australia; then here is the news for the next big one – from our friends at http://stopliveexports.org/
Dear Mark

[Undercover Video] Horrors of the Moran Dog Meat Market in Seongnam, South Korea! See it to believe it!
People of the USA:
If you want to help fight the grisly South Korean dog and cat meat trade and make a difference in South Korea, here are a few quick actions you can take that could save millions of dogs and cats each year.
Click HERE for Press Release “Aurora Sister Cities International to host Korean Open House”!
Aurora Sister Cities International to host Korean Open House
Aurora is working to revitalize its sister city relationship with Seongnam, Republic of Korea. As part of that initiative, Aurora Sister Cities International will hold an open house, Aug. 14, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. The entire community is invited to attend this outreach event and participate in the planning and development of the sister city programs. Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan will provide an overview of the many benefits to Aurora in partnering with this progressive and dynamic Asian city.
Yet Seongnam, South Korea is responsible for the horrendous torture and killing of dogs and cats. The largest market in South Korea that sells dogs both dead and alive for meat is the infamous “Moran Market” in Seongnam in Gyeonggi-do province.
It is estimated that one third of all dog meat consumed in South Korea(2.5 million dogs each year) are distributed through this market. If you have ever wondered what a hell would be like, just take a visit or watch the videos on the Moran Market. This place is a “Hell on Earth” with helpless dogs in cages after cages waiting for the uncaring customers to order them to be slaughtered on the spot by electrocution, hanging, beating, and then thrown into boiling water sometimes while they are still alive. Dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified dogs in cages, in public and in broad daylight.
Millions of dogs tortured all their lives in unimaginable misery and agony in dog farms around the country come to meet their tragic and frightening ends at this market. Also, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this market.
Please watch the undercover videos from Seongnam’s Moran Market: http://youtu.be/UKSGgsjnJlY

SAMPLE LETTER
Dear Mayor Steve Hogan and Members of the Aurora City Council:
Please watch undercover video from the Moran Market in Seongnam, South Korea: http://youtu.be/UKSGgsjnJlY
The city of Aurora should not be a sister city to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten. Please urge the Seongnam Mayor Jae-Myung Lee and Gyeonggi-do Governor Kyung-Pil Nam to close down Moran Dog Meat Market and all other illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses, markets, truckers and restaurants who serve their products. An online petition calling for your support in ending the horrendous South Korean dog and meat trade can be found at:https://www.change.org/p/steven-hogan-stop-the-brutal-dog-and-cat-meat-trade-in-south-korea
The favor of your reply is requested.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Your Name & Address

Iris Was a Prisoner in Solitary Confinement for Years—Until Now
Imagine being confined in a dark, windowless cell that measures approximately 8 feet by 16 feet, roughly the size of a walk-in closet. Iris didn’t have to imagine it: That’s where the 32-year-old chimpanzee was found at Chestatee Wildlife Preserve & Zoo, a seedy roadside zoo in Georgia.
The cell was only cleaned about twice a week (contrary to instructions by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to clean it daily), so she often lived amid her own waste. Her meals were slid to her through a slot in the wall, as if she were an inmate at a high-security prison. The tiny cell had nothing for her to climb on, and she had no one to play with and essentially nothing to look at except four blank walls. The picture of abject despair, she was often found huddled under a filthy blanket in the unheated cell and smeared her own faeces on the cell walls.
Occasionally, Iris was allowed into a slightly larger concrete cell, but it was found scattered with feces and dead cockroaches, and spiders crawled among the cobwebs on the ceiling and walls.
After years of solitary confinement and deprivation, Iris was a sorry sight. She was pale and overweight, and her legs were underdeveloped, likely from a lack of opportunities to climb or exercise. She was missing her canine teeth, which likely had been pulled out to make her easier to handle.
But thanks to a generous PETA member, Iris has seen the last of this hell on Earth. Earlier this month, she was transported to the lush tropical Save the Chimps, an accredited sanctuary in Florida.
Just days after arriving at Save the Chimps, Iris was introduced to another rescued chimpanzee named Abdul, and they were immediately smitten with each other, panting and hooting with delight, exchanging kisses and hugs, and grooming each other like old friends. Normally, such introductions take months, but for Iris and Abdul, it was love at first sight. Iris continues to be introduced to more chimpanzees and will soon have the opportunity to live on a large island with plenty of trees and structures for climbing and playing.
PETA has filed legal complaints with several agencies and called on them to investigate Chestatee’s apparent violations of animal-protection and worker-safety laws.
What You Can Do
Boycott all zoos, even ones that misleadingly call themselves “preserves” or “parks.” Roadside zoos don’t have signs out front saying, “Caution: Abused Animals Within.” They are tourist traps that unwitting visitors keep open with their ticket purchases.
