Target: Ryan Zinke, U.S. Secretary of the Interior
Goal: Bring man accused of illegally killing a rare snow leopard to display its body parts as trophies to justice.
It is illegal to kill snow leopards, and even to own their body parts or fur, in the U.S. and across the Western hemisphere, but one trophy hunter reportedly brought the remains of a snow leopard he killed back to America and boasted of his “accomplishment.” Importing the remains of a snow leopard into the U.S. is a federal offense, but this man, Hossein Soudy Golabchi, has not been prosecuted.
Golabchi has also apparently written a book about hunting exotic animals that is sold on Amazon. The book description brags that “once you have reached such a phenomenal number [of kills] you can only write a book about the most interesting hunts and the highlights of your career.” This is disgusting.
It is crucial for snow leopards that illegal hunts be stopped. The organization Defenders of Wildlife has estimated that only about 3,500-7,000 snow leopards remain in the wild (the creatures’ shy nature makes knowing the exact number difficult to determine). They must be protected, and if poaching and trophy hunting goes unchecked, the species could go extinct soon. Sign below to demand that Hossein Soudy Golabchi be prosecuted now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Secretary of the Interior Zinke,
Snow leopards are a species that must be protected, and to allow them to be illegally killed as trophies is unacceptable. Hossein Soudy Golabchi, a trophy hunter who moved to the U.S. when he was young, is accused of bringing back the remains of a rare snow leopard he had poached and bragging of his “accomplishment.” This would be a federal offense and must not be allowed to stand.
Allowing this sort of cruelty could put the entire snow leopard population in the wild at risk. As Tiger Exotic Animal Ranger Awareness International stated, “Snow leopards have never been numerous. The thought of a wealthy American specifically seeking one out to destroy its life is unfathomable. It also damages the communities around the snow leopard. He needs to be the example and needs to be in prison.” I urge you to ensure that Hossein Soudy Golabchi is prosecuted for these alleged crimes.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

SAV Comment – Making America Great Again ???!!!
Puppy mills, the sale of dog and horse meat, force feeding ducks until their livers explode, and other examples of animal cruelty will be legalized if Republican efforts to overturn animal welfare laws are successful. Sign this petition to oppose Republican plans to return to the days where extreme animal cruelty was legal.
Petition wording:
Target: Donald Trump, President of the United States
Goal: Don’t legalize animal abuse by overturning state animal welfare laws.
Hard-won victories against animal cruelty, and the rights of the individual states who have passed anti-cruelty laws, are under attack by Republicans in Congress with the introduction of two new bills. These bills, introduced by Representatives Steve King (R-IA) and James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), seek to force states and localities to allow the sale of animal products produced in inhumane ways, even if the state already has measures in place forbidding the sale of such abusive products. As the Humane Society of the United States has pointed out, this poses a significant and tangible threat to animals across the entire nation.
If these bills pass into law, the consequences would be severe. For instance, states like Louisiana could lose the rules they have in place against the sale of sick and abused dogs from puppy mills.
California could be forced to allow the sale of foie gras, a cruel “delicacy” made by brutally force-feeding ducks until their livers become grossly enlarged.
Bans on the sale of horse meat in states like Indiana could be overturned.
Unfortunately, the Trump family and his administration have a long history of supporting animal abuse. Trump’s sons are fanatical hunters, including the killing exotic animals, and his administration has purged animal abuse records and concealed them from public view.
These cruel bills must not be passed.
Sign to demand that this attempt to legalize animal abuse be rejected.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Donald Trump,
Newly introduced Republican bills threaten not only the well-being of innocent animals nationwide, but also the rights of states with animal welfare legislation already in place. The bills would force states to allow the cruel mistreatment of animals for the sake of selling products.
For example, California could be forced to allow the sale of foie gras in spite of the state law banning it. States could be compelled to allow sick and abused dogs to be sold from puppy mills, and dogs and horses to be killed for their meat. As the Humane Society stated in its call to action, “Rep. King has been fighting animal welfare laws at the federal level, and now he’s attacking them in the states. In short, he doesn’t want any animal welfare laws, and we cannot let him get away with it.”
I urge you to heed the Humane Society’s call and to protect animals across the nation by ensuring that these disgusting bills do not pass.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
Probably Not !

“Are we genetically predisposed to be cruel and violent? In the animal world there is no. Can we change this sad world?
In the time of Hitler, we had made people to beasts. They were the Nazis.
We do not know if these were genetically programmed to become what they have become.
People were brought up to do evil. If something like that was possible, that makes us believe that we can also educate people in the opposite direction, namely as good.
We must believe this, otherwise our struggle will not make sense if we are not convinced that we can enlighten, persuade, and change people.
Apart from that, I believe that most crimes against animals are financially hardship and not from pure sadism.
At least these crimes, which are associated with a financial gain.
The economy is stronger than morals and it is mostly the poor who exploit the animals, torture them and treat them as money-bearing objects.
I do not believe the world is worse today than before in his relationship to animals.
But today we have more possibilities to inform us about animals than before.
And that is why we are often demoralized by the number of crimes.
Of course, there are also the psychopaths in our society, who torment animals by pure sadism and sick psychic, without having a financial profit from it.
But they are a minority and therefore no proof that man is genetically inclined to violence. (The percentage of mentally disturbed persons among such perpetrators is estimated to be about to ten percent.)
This, of course, is only my personal view and interpretation of the profile of the animal cruelty.
Best regards

End zoophilic tourism in Serbia!
Serbia has become the place for the sick to satisfy their disgusting needs for having sex with animals.
Being a country in which zoophilia is not prohibited, there are several places from Norway, UK, Holland and other countries of Europe visit. Belgrade, the capital, is the most visited place by zoophilic who have fun having sex with animals like sheep, donkeys, dogs, geese and cows.
These sick people get what they are want thanks to a country in which the Law does not prohibit these disgusting and degrading acts towards animals. There are even advertisements on the Internet that offer services for 100 euros or more.
Serbia is a country that has wanted to join the European Union for many years, but with these laws it is impossible to achieve.
We do not want a country like Serbia in the EU if it does not amend the Laws and prohibits bestiality.
Let us ask the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to ban these aberrant acts, to amend the Laws if he wants to be part of the EU, we do not allow these savages to continue to harm animals.
SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION
