Austria: an illegal puppy trade was discovered

Posted on January 16, 2021 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Incredible: An illegal puppy trade was discovered – and that in the middle of the Graz settlement area, in Austria.

Nine puppies, some of whom were sick and who had probably been injected with sedatives, were carted from Serbia to Styria, Austria.

Shameful: People even came from other federal states to buy them!!

The fact that the illegal puppy trade on the street was exposed at all is thanks to an attentive passer-by, who started the rescue chain for the poor puppies with his report to the active animal welfare organization.

Chef Charly Forstner is horrified: “The puppies were hypothermic and completely apathetic, later you found injections and sedatives in the car from Serbia. It turned out that they got away from their mother much too young, some had fevers, worms, skin diseases, undesirable developments due to insufficient supply. Even pneumonia”

Almost unbelievable: People even came from other federal states to buy the cheap puppies in Graz!

“Anyone who buys or sells in this way is liable to prosecution,” says Alexandra Gruber, head of the Graz Veterinary Office, who courageously intervened.

And the expert clears up myths: “A cheap puppy can become expensive due to diseases and veterinary costs. In addition, it is irresponsible to buy an animal out of the trunk – please check beforehand where an animal comes from! “
Whoever acts like this supports suffering: “Animal factories in which boy for a boy are “produced” are shameful. Buyers support that. “

And I mean…Such abnormalities exist as long as there are no stricter controls and no high fines for traders who should go up to 30,000 euros.
Why wasn’t the seller stopped at the border?

Because our good-for-nothing leaders in high politics have no plan for anything and are not even able to get illegal trade with animals under control.

And last but not least: because there are mindless buyers who support this business with pride and ignorance!

My best regards to all, Venus

The other species also deserve basic rights

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

 

The world only changes for animals when we give them back their natural rights, which we, human tyrants, deny them.
The other species deserve basic rights no less than how we claim them for ourselves, and their lives have the same value as ours.

Our fascist attitude towards animals does not change in a few years, because the mechanisms that make it possible to turn us all into perpetrators go very deep.

But the least we should do for the animals is not to eat them!

Animal Testing in US: Regulatory Use and Routine Production

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Terrifying: 111 million mice and rats annually for animal testing in the USA!

Rodents, fish, and birds are not considered animals there

Mice and rats, the most common animals used in the laboratory, are not covered by the United States Animal Welfare Act and therefore do not appear in the official statistics of animals used for scientific purposes.

A new analysis estimates that around 111 million mice and rats are subjected to animal testing annually in the United States.

The nationwide association Doctors Against Animal Experiments calls for better transparency of the animal experiment figures in the USA and in this country.

Most mice, rats, fish, and birds are not defined as “animals” in the American Animal Welfare Act since 1970.

Because of this, the numbers of these animals do not appear in the country’s official animal experimentation statistics, although mice and rats are the most commonly used in animal experiments.

“The United States plans to end all animal testing for regulatory purposes such as toxicity testing by 2035, which we clearly welcome.

In order to be able to estimate at all whether the country is getting closer to this goal, one must at least know how many animals are used for experiments each year, ” says Dr. Dilyana Filipova, a research assistant at Doctors Against Animal Experiments.

A recent study at the University of California San Francisco looked at this problem and found that over 111 million mice and rats suffer annually in American laboratories, in addition to the 780,070 animals from the official statistics.

This includes dogs, cats, monkeys, rabbits, pigs, and sheep. The study author asked for information about the mice and rats used in experiments at 16 of the 30 best-funded research institutions using the Freedom of Information Act.

In comparison to the approx. 39,000 “animals” defined in the Animal Welfare Act, around 5.6 million mice, and rats were used at these 16 institutes alone, which corresponds to 99.3% of all animals.

An extrapolation of this data using the animal numbers published in the annual statistics resulted in the staggering number of 111 million mice and rats.

But here, too, there is a large number of unreported animals that suffer and die invisibly in German laboratories!

For more…at https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2021/01/15/animal-testing-in-us-regulatory-use-and-routine-production/

 

And I mean… humanity has not yet overcome fascism!

Rats are burned, pigs are suffocated. Mice have to swim for their lives to the point of exhaustion, dogs are broken bones, monkeys are poisoned.

In order to obtain single multiple transgenic animals, which is quite common in current practice, up to 54 animals have to die because they do not have the desired genotype – they are disposed of like garbage.

This “committee” quote underscores how disrespectful and undignified animals are treated and how they are merely degraded to disposable items.

Animals would have to endure all of this suffering under the “guise of research”, although animal experiments do not provide security, but rather resemble a lottery.

Only various branches of the economy benefited from these experiments, but not science and certainly not the patients.

95 percent of the results from the experiments are not transferable to humans.
One wonders how far a person must have sunk in order to inflict such damage on animals in any laboratory.
And these beasts live among us.

The politicians tolerate and support these criminals, who, by the way, should be punished, because the killing of the unwanted animals by the experimenter is a criminal disregard of the established animal welfare, which demands a “reasonable” reason for it.

“Vivisection is the greatest and meanest cultural disgrace of the present day, morally and intellectually it is to be equated with the delusional delusion of witch trials, and no people who tolerate it have the right to call themselves a people of culture.”
Manfred Kyber (German writer, 1880-1933)

The barbaric spectacle with Thailand’s boxing orangutans

Posted on January 14, 2021 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

In Thailand, orangutans are forced to box.

On the outskirts of Bangkok, there is a popular tourist attraction that organizes boxing matches between orangutans.
The best known is certainly Safari World, a huge amusement park and zoo.

A swarm of crowds and tourists interested in this violent “sport” gather at Safari World to watch orangutans punch in a boxing match.

The barbaric spectacle lasts about half an hour.

Then winners and losers are brought back to their dark cages. And the next animals fight in the ring.

Orangutans, the acutely endangered species of the great apes – these precious creatures are abused in Asia for amusement in kickboxing shows.

Thailand’s government officially banned this serious violation of animal welfare in 2004.
But money is still being made with the undignified monkey fun.
The great apes are scared and intimidated.

Often they are tortured with electric shocks, ill-treated with lighted cigarettes, or beaten if they do not follow training instructions.

The orangutans are required to wear boxing gloves and shorts and are trained to hit each other for entertainment
Between the “fighting rounds”, a female orangutan enters the scene, wearing a bikini on which the number of rounds is displayed.

Similar to human boxing matches. The difference, however, is that humans fight voluntarily, but orangutans are forced to do so.

The rule is: There are only two ways to turn a wild animal into an attraction: with pain or hunger.
Both methods are used from an early age of the animals.
Orangutans are trained there with violence, beatings, and food deprivation.

They are disguised and made up and they perform boxing matches for stupid tourists, play the number girl or become laughing numbers in the shows.

They have to make funny faces with tourists for photos or are allowed to be fed sweets
The animals are sexualized, display unnatural behaviors, and convey a completely wrong image of wild animals.
The worst is: also for children.

Yes! this is a huge business in Asia, not just in Thailand, which would not even exist without the illegal wildlife trade.
Wildlife trade is big business.

The prohibited trade in protected animals and their products ranks fourth in the world in organized crime behind drug trafficking, human trafficking, and product piracy.
Sales are estimated to be at least $ 10 billion a year.

Warum vom Aussterben bedroht

In theory, convicted smugglers face several years in prison. In practice, however, there must first be an indictment.
But it rarely has any chance of success.
Usually, this kind of thing comes to nothing – depending on how influential the accused is …

Against the Pata Zoo z. B. there have already been several national and international attempts to close it.
It didn’t do anything.
The zoo and its residents are still there.

It is an indictment of our society that such cruel and exploitative treatment of animals is used for the so-called “entertainment” of tourists.

And one has to be very stupid (or uncivilized) to believe that these wild animals enjoy such torture and humiliation.

The wrong side of the entertainment

Posted on January 13, 2021 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

They belong to the ocean-not here!

 

An orca swims up to 100 miles per day in the wild.

However, slave keepers, businessmen, have decided that they have the right to abduct them from their natural habitat, imprison them and force them to perform profitable tricks.

This happens because infantile and callous people are willing to pay for it and fail to realize that these animals are extremely depressed because they are suffering in captivity.

Thus, and with their visit to these places, these people are practicing a false sense of entertainment at the expense of others who cannot defend themselves.

——————————————————————————————–

Michigan Teen Wins $50,000 And Donates It To An Animal Shelter (wkfr.com)

This 13-year-old just changed 2021 for a small animal shelter in Ferndale, Michigan.

Meet Sidney Hertzberg.  She loves cats.  In fact, she volunteers at the Ferndale Cat Shelter.  She recently enter a Petco contest by writing an essay about her cat.  Her survey paid off to the tune of $50,000.  You can see the moment she finds out that she won in the video below from ABC 7 at about the :15 second mark.

Sidney told WXYZ,

I have an illness called POTS and so with some of the symptoms that come with the illness are dizziness, fatigue and muscle aches. My cat Mr. Mittens, I got him when he was 4 ounces and he was about a week old, so he was very, very small and he had to be bottle-fed. And I really thought I was going to help save his life, but I did not even know he would actually help save mine.

The 13-year-old then donated the entire $50,000 prize to the Ferndale Cat Shelter where she volunteers.  This story could end there and it would be incredible.  However, Sidney’s not finished.  Not even close.

She has also created a program called Sidney’s Seniors for Seniors.  The program not only places older cats with elderly humans but also pays for the cat’s food and medical bills.  If this what the next generation looks like.  We’re in great hands.

Posted on January 13, 2021 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)
SIGN: Justice for Smuggled Lion Cub who Lost Both Eyes

I found this really sad when I found it yesterday.  A beautiful lion cub who has had to have both eyes removed due to the scum involved with illegal wildlife trafficking.  Please support the petition.

Tragic lion cub forced to have both its eyes removed after horrific cruelty by big cat smugglers (thesun.co.uk)

Lion cub has both eyes removed after being smuggled 1,200 miles across Russia in box without food | Daily Mail Online

PETITION TARGET: Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs

Snatched from his mother almost immediately after his birth, a helpless lion cub named Grom is now blind after smugglers forced him into a tiny box with no food or water and crammed him into the luggage compartment of a long-haul bus in Russia, according to the Sun.

Police discovered the sick and dying lion cub in deplorable conditions with severely inflamed and ruptured corneas. Several surgeries failed to save Grom’s eyesight, and he ultimately lost both his eyes, Daily Mail reported.

The baby lion is frustrated and doesn’t understand why he can’t see, said Nikolay Dovgalyuk, who initially took care of the cub after his rescue.

Grom now needs lifelong care, and his future remains uncertain. He’s also just one of the victims of the illegal animal trafficking trade that caters to a demand for exotic pets, according to officials.

This lion cub deserves justice.

Police have not yet identified the criminals who cruelly caged and transported Grom. Sign this petition urging Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs to use all available resources to fully investigate this heartbreaking crime and bring Grom’s traffickers to justice before more innocent animals are harmed or killed.

Please support the action for justice – sign and pass on to all your contacts:
