Nepal: Take Action NOW To Stop the killing of Thousands of Animals Next Week – November 24 / 25.

Dear xxx ,

We urgently need your help to stop the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of animals next week during the Gadhimai Jatra festival in Bara, Nepal.

Humane Society International is working with our local partners, Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT) and Animal Nepal, to prevent this reckless animal cruelty before the festival takes place November 24 & 25.

Every five years, hundreds of men are licensed to kill buffalo, pigs, chickens, rats, goats, and pigeons, receiving a fee for each animal they take. Cruelly, the animals are chased and hacked to death with knives in a competition to kill as many as possible within two days.

According to Animal Welfare Network Nepal, the real beneficiaries are the festival organizers and business community, who drive up prices for animals in the lead up to the festival and then pressure local people to contribute livestock to the event.

Animal advocates are asking that the community provide fruits and vegetables instead of animals for the festival. KAT and Animal Nepal are organizing a counter-campaign of peaceful meditation, and together we are petitioning the government, which has reportedly paid for an enclosure to hold thousands of buffalo ahead of the event, to stop the slaughter.

Please take action immediately by writing to Nepal’s Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism to request a halt to this outdated tradition, considered barbaric by many local people who would like to stop it but feel helpless to do so.

Then, ask your friends and family to help, too. We need to let Nepalese leaders know that the world is watching and considers this bloody practice tragic and shameful.

Thank you for making a difference for animals.

Sincerely,

Andrew Rowan
President & CEO
Humane Society International

Serbia; After the ‘Bucket Pups’ Now Come the ‘Magnificent Seven’

Further to the recent appeal for the ‘bucket pups’, Jelena has now been left with an additional ‘Magnificent Seven’ pups which were left at her shelter.

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/serbia-donations-required-please-to-help-the-bucket-pups/

These two situations alone prove the need throughout Serbia for national government implemented policy of animal sterilisation, vaccination, microchipping and visible identification, which would allow full traceability of the owners of such animals.

It is always the shelters who are left to pick up the remnants of carless and irresponsible animal owners. 

Here are two new pictures of the magnificent seven recently dumped with Jelena’s shelter.

Full donation information is provided in the above SAV link.

Serbia: New Photographs From EPAR Shelter

If you can give any donation to help the dogs, cats and pig then it would be appreciated.

 

 

 

 

Please can you help by giving a donation if at all possible ? – Any amount helps.

Please use the following for donations:

One of the best and cheapest ways to send money donations internationally is by Western Union. 

Transfer costs vary and are worked out simply depending on the amount of the donation – you only pay more if you donate larger quantities. 

In most countries donations can be done on line, by telephone, or visiting a local agent. 

Please look at the web site for further info:

For direct donations, the following EPAR account in Hungary should be used as a preference to Serbian accounts:

Uk: Give Your Support to Fight Against a (Conservative Party) Repeal of The Hunting Act

The Result of Hunting British Wildlife – Kent, England. – Photo SAV.

The next general election in the United Kingdom (Uk) must be held on or before Thursday 3 June 2010.  This will decide who will be the next government (and opposition party).

Source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_United_Kingdom_general_election

The British people have always been a nation who are on the whole, very animal welfare supportive. 

As an Englishman, it is a tradition which I am very proud of.

I would like to introduce the following excellent campaign which has now been established in the Uk ready for the 2010 general election.

Please lend you support to this important new initiative set up as part of the fight against a repeal of the hunting act.  Ie. To KEEP hunting where it belongs – in the history books.

We really need to get everyone signing up to this list so we can lobby MPs and candidates during the campaign.     

SIGN UP  ***  The address is:  www.campaignfordecency.org.uk   ***

Please pass this message far and wide

There will come a day when such men as myself will view the slaughter of innocent creatures as horrible a crime as the murder of his fellow man – Our task must to be free ourselves…by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. Albert Einstein

Polls reveal that over 75% of the British public do not support a repeal of the hunting act. We believe this is an accurate reflection of a society that does not want to see a return to their cruel and barbaric past.

On the 15th September 2004, the MP’s listed in the link below voted Against the Hunting Bill in an attempt to prevent the ban on Hunting from being passed into law. Many of them are still MP’s and are intending to stand in the 2010 General election.

You can see from the list that the overwhelming majority of politicians supporting the call for allowing hunting TO CONTINUE were / are members of the Conservative Party –

PRO Hunting MPs Wall of Shame: 

http://www.campaignfordecency.org.uk/shame

Fortunately, the Conservatives are the opposition (Non Government) party in the Uk at the current time.  Long may it remain that way.  The Conservative party has declared that if elected into government in the 2010 general election, it will repeal (bring back) the legislation about hunting, so allowing British Wildlife animals to be hunted yet again.

Fox Myths – The hunting community has played a key role in vilifying foxes for their own purposes.  Click on the following for more info:

http://www.campaignfordecency.org.uk/Myths

The following photo is from SAV files; it was taken by SAV founders during the mid 1990’s and shows a fox which was killed by the hunt in the county of Kent, England.

Never before have we (SAV) released this image; but now it is necessary.  It shows the real side of foxhunting; the side that puts the ‘they die of a quick bite to the neck’ into the bin.

As shown here, hunted foxes are literally ripped apart whilst still alive by foxhounds of the hunt.

Voting Conservative at the 2010 election will bring this animal abuse back to the fields of the Uk; and the vast majority of British people DO NOT WANT IT ever again.

So please, sign up for decency and the CONTINUATION of enforcement of the Hunting Ban in the Uk:

www.campaignfordecency.org.uk 

A return to a Conservative government is a return to this:

FOR FOX SAKE, fight against a Conservative Party repeal of the hunting act. 

Thank You – SAV.
