Ho Ho Ho ! – Christmas Greetings.

 

Christmas!

We call this time a quiet, silent, holy time.
Many think it is the celebration of love.
The best proof of this is, that God sent His Son to Earth to give love and peace to the people.

Although we speak of love during this time, we are doing something completely different.
With the animals.

The silent and holy night that we humans sing solemnly by candlelight, and accompany with animal corpses on our table, is for our fellow creatures another night, a night in hell, as well as every other night.

The piglet in the animal factory behind bars, lonely and injured, the dehorned cow on the chain that calls her newborn, the goose with the sick liver that can no longer stand, the chicken waiting for the transport, the furry animal in the cage suspecting his death …

As we Christians sing our Christmas carols and celebrate the feast of love, millions of our fellow creatures in the animal factories will fall victim to love, our love for human beings.

And while our children play the traditional game of ox and donkey, we will prepare the Christmas menu, the festive meal of love, and fill our belly with body parts of lamb, suckling pig, turkey, and whole.

We the liars, the Pharisees, the criminals of this world.

My best regards
Venus

 

 

USA: Trump and Congress just sold out the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

 

Dear Mark,

They’ve done the unthinkable.

Congress just sold out the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge – and all the wildlife that depends on it – to pass tax reform.

The Trump administration and Congress’ ugly pursuit of profits at any cost is putting wildlife and wild places in serious jeopardy – and Alaska has become the rallying point for their anti-wildlife agenda.

Help us protect this incredible landscape and wildlife habitat. Take our Triple Match Challenge and your gift will be matched 2-for-1, up to a total of $150,000.

The message from this administration and Congress has been clear: they think that wildlife and wild places are worthless – and they will stop at nothing to pillage Alaska’s incredible landscapes.

Help us fight to save Alaska’s priceless wildlife and wild places from destruction.

Alaska is known as “The Last Frontier” for its unrivalled wildness and the diversity of animals that call it home. It is habitat for caribou, snowy owls, Arctic foxes, wolves, and all three species of North American bears – polar, brown and black bears. Nearly 200 hundred species of migratory birds make their way to Alaska each year from all over the world.

But if Congress and the Trump administration have their way, these creatures and so many others will be left out in the cold.

Defenders won’t let wildlife pay the price for unrelenting greed and the reckless pursuit of profits – and we know you won’t either.

Give today and your contribution will have triple the impact for wildlife in jeopardy.

Sincerely,

Jamie Rappaport Clark
President,

Defenders of Wildlife

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scotland: Breaking News – The First UK country to ban wild animal circuses!

SAV Comment

This will now be followed shortly by England -we can almost promise that.

First UK country to ban wild animal circuses!

Hello Mark.

I am so excited to be sending you this email!

I have just watched the Scottish parliament vote

on the bill to ban the use of wild animals in travelling circuses….

And I am delighted to say they voted for the animals!

Wild animal circuses will be banned in Scotland!

People like you, CAPS and other animal protection

organisations have been campaigning on this issue for decades.

It just goes to show why we should never give up, the animals

need these victories!

Here’s what you need to do now:

  1. Read more about this amazing victory here

  2. Pat yourself on the back for making this day possible

  3. Get yourself ready for the next steps to ban animal circuses in Wales!

The Welsh Government have been considering a ban too,

which CAPS and people like you have pushed hard for

in recent months. An announcement this week indicates

they may consider licensing instead – we cannot let this happen!

Watch this space for how you can help secure a second

UK ban for animals and please consider making a donation today.

I will now leave you to enjoy this fantastic news.

Thank you for all you do for animals!

Best wishes,

Nicola O’Brien
Campaigns Director

P.S. Another one down!

Thank you so much for your fantastic work for animals! It’s working 🙂

Frolicking in fields, dust bathing, nestling in straw, splashing about in water.

UK: Morrisons ignores calls to drop failing farm – So Now Further Action Required.

Video Footage – **WARNING** – Animals Suffering.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6WrLeDLhOA&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=Animal+Equality+UK+Newsletter&utm_campaign=4f742bbaf7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_12_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_3ba5be09e0-4f742bbaf7-250526533

Last month we released footage exposing animal welfare and public health violations on an East Yorkshire pig farm that supplies Morrisons supermarket.

We sent our footage to the company immediately and demanded that it drops the farm – but we have not received any response.

During two visits to Poplar Farm this autumn our investigators found pigs with open, bleeding wounds on their ears; severely lame pigs left in a pen with other pigs; pregnant pigs kept in barren, concrete pens without any enrichment and severely scarred pigs who appeared to be victims of aggression caused by the harsh living conditions. 

In violation of legislation governing disposal of dead animals – intended to minimise the public health risk associated with diseased animals – two dead pigs were left out in the open yard overnight. One had clearly been shot in the head. 

 

We are calling on Morrisons, and all supermarkets, to adopt a zero-tolerance policy on animal welfare breaches. Farms that leave injured and ill animals to suffer should be dropped immediately by retailers!

ACTION

Please contact Morrisons’ CEO David Potts at

david.potts-ceo@morrisonsplc.co.uk

and urge him to drop Poplar Farm immediately. You can also share the above video on Twitter and tag @Morrisons, demanding it takes action.

 

Petition

And if you haven’t yet signed our petition demanding action for all of Britain’s pigs please take a moment to sign & share that too!

Thank you for giving farmed animals a voice.

India: More Amazing Rescue Videos From The Superb Team At Animal Aid Unlimited.

 

More absolutely amazing rescue videos from our friends at ‘Animal Aid Unlimited’ in India.

Watch the rescue of Mikki; who had a terrible maggot infested wound, through to the beautiful little happy dog she is today.

 

 

Only one chance to rescue a desperate puppy.

 

Frightened and confused by an excruciating and huge wound, this sweetheart was also suffering from a bad case of mange. But she still had the strength to run away, and our rescue team knew if she dodged our net she’d surely die.

By the luckiest miracle she jumped into an overturned boat and gave our team just the chance they needed. Watch the beautiful result of 6 weeks of treatment and love. Watch adorable Mikki’s joy. She will never leave your heart.

We got a call to rescue a dog stuck in a gate. But when we arrived, our rescuers found an old dog in much more serious trouble. Not only was she completely stuck between very narrow bars in a gate, but she had massive maggot infested wounds on her backside.

Unable to pull her body through the bars or pry them open, we had to call in a metal cutter and have him cut one of the bars off the gate.

Once we got her back to the shelter, we began treating her wounds, started fluids for her dehydration, antibiotics and pain medication. Her wounds were severe, and with her old age recovery would be an uphill battle. But Dotty is a brave, spirited little lady, and she wasn’t about to give up.

Amazing – probably the best rescue of them all – SAV.

Three tiny angels were trapped in hardened tar. They were so completely stuck, they couldn’t move a muscle. It looked like they’d been engulfed for hours, and one little baby’s mouth was even stuck open. Neighbors had heard their heart-wrenching cries for help and had called Animal Aid.

Prying them loose was impossible for the tense rescue team, so we had to cut the tar loose from the rocks below and bring the puppies and the tar and gravel they were stuck in back to the hospital.

Determined volunteers and staff spent hours to soften the tar with oil and dishsoap, with time out only to plant kisses on the puppies’ noses. Multiple warm baths later…and wow.

For babies who had been on the brink of death, this is what happiness looks like.

Please donate to save street animals in the most desperate need.

The eyes of the animals caught on film at the moment their rescuers arrive say it all–“somebody please help me.” And when street animals are desperately trapped, “moving heaven and earth” is exactly what we have to do to help them. Thank you for giving so generously to make sure that no matter how tough the rescue, the next angel and the next will not be left alone to die.

 

Please donate for the animals who are waiting for a miracle.
