Ask Village of Little Chute, Wisconsin, to Oppose Cruel Bowhunting!

Officials in Little Chute have approved the use of cruel bowhunting to control resident deer populations. Bowhunting is among the cruelest forms of hunting. Bowhunters often spend hours following bloody tracks before finding wounded deer. Many are not found, and their deaths are slow and painful. It can take weeks for them to succumb to their injuries.

Families are then torn apart, and young and weak animals starve or die of dehydration.

Please urge Little Chute officials to halt all bowhunts.

Please send polite comments to:

Victory! Army Ends Use of Live Monkeys in Chemical Casualty Courses

The U.S. Army will stop poisoning live monkeys in chemical weapons training exercises. After PCRM’s recent legal complaint and more than 30,000 e-mails sent by PCRM supporters to the Army, the Department of Defense has agreed to switch to nonanimal training methods.

In a recent meeting with Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, an outspoken Congressional opponent of the practice, generals from Fort Detrick and Aberdeen Proving Ground confirmed that the Department of Defense will soon end the use of monkeys in these exercises.

“I congratulate the military on moving away from the cruel, ineffective method of poisoning monkeys to try to teach medical personnel about nerve agent exposure,“ says John J. Pippin, M.D., F.A.C.C., director of academic affairs for PCRM. “Military medical professionals should be fully prepared to cope with a chemical weapons attack, and the best training involves human-patient simulators and other high-tech methods.”

While Army officials have agreed to end this animal use in favor of such high-tech methods, they have not committed to a timeline, stating only that the use of monkeys will stop in the near future.

To thank Army leaders and ask them to end the use of monkeys immediately, visit PCRM.org/Research.

TAKE ACTION:

Please take a minute to let Army medical leaders know that you appreciate the U.S. Army’s agreement to end the use of live vervet monkeys in chemical casualty management training, and that the transition should happen immediately.

Here are some talking points:

Thank you for agreeing to end the use of live vervet monkeys in chemical casualty management training.

Medical simulation will provide a superior educational experience for Army trainees.

Since the U.S. Army already owns hundreds of medical simulators, this transition should be implemented quickly.

Until this transition is completed, monkeys will continue to suffer the effects of simulated nerve attacks, with symptoms including vomiting, excessive sweating, and seizures.

Please end this cruel use of live monkeys immediately and release the monkeys to sanctuary.

Stop St. Petersburg Police from Shooting Dogs

Why this is Important

When a police officer’s first line of defense in restraining an animal is to reach for a weapon, it is sending the wrong message to the community that they swore to uphold and protect. If the police officer is the first responder involving an animal, then the police officers should be trained in animal control techniques. The “uncooperative animal” that the police officer may kill could be someone’s senior pet who could be afraid, deaf, or in pain and not able to respond to the officer’s request.

Boomer, the 12-year-old arthritic Golden Retriever shown in this photo, was shot and killed by St. Petersburg Police in October. His death is tragic enough on its own, but the fact that he was the 7th dog killed by the police department this year shows that the officers not only need training, but a clear policy that encourages non-lethal dog handling techniques.

St. Petersburg Police Department must adopt a new policy for standing operating procedure when they deal with canines that incorporates a force continuum, with lethal force as a last resort.

Boomer’s Family and Fans Want St. Petersburg Police to Stop Shooting Pets

It’s a pet owner’s worst nightmare: their senior, arthritic dog gets out of the yard, but instead of finding his way home or to the safety of a friendly neighbor, he’s shot and killed by police.That’s what happened to Boomer, the 12-year-old golden retriever of Lauren and Roy Glass of St. Petersburg, Florida.

Boomer’s story also touched Peter Fitzgerald, a Professor of Law at Florida’s Stetson University who is involved in dog rescue. “Proper training for police officers and others likely to be involved in dog related incidents is crucial,” said Professor Fitzgerald. “While there may be circumstances where lethal force is appropriate and required in an encounter with a dog or any animal, that should be the very last resort. There are certainly many more situations where non-lethal alternatives might be more appropriate, especially when the animal is collared and tagged and appears to be socialized as a pet.”

Romania: The Proof That PDL Paid People to Gather Signatures for the Killing of Strays.

Posted on November 4, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Our recent SAV post:

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2011/10/30/romania-unprecedented-killing-dogs-campaign-by-pd-l-party-romania/

——————————————————————————————-

The proof that PDL paid people to gather signatures for the killing of strays

http://www.hotnews.ro/stiri-po

litic-10601635-audio-poveste-stranie-tineri-simpatizanti-pdl-acuza-partidul-abondonat-munte-dupa-excursie-spus-nu-intereseaza-descurcam-cum-putem-sum-rudele.htm

English Translation of the article:

A strange story. Young PDL supporters accused the party of abandoning them at a mountain… camp: “They said it’s not their business to take us home. We should manage ourselves how we can, call our relatives to pick us up”.

Several young supporters accuse the organization of PDL Sector 4 Bucharest, 18 college and its president, municipal councillor Calin Murg, as they went on a trip to Bran that was supposed to be “all inclusive”, but has turned into a “big mockery”. “We didn’t had enough space in the room, we slept in shifts, we were not given enough food, and the departure we had nothing to go back. They said it’s not their business to take us home. We should manage ourselves how we can”, it’s Cristina Gimba’s declaration, one of the young supporters that went on the mountain trip.

Radu Mihai, the man who was in charge of organizing the trip, (OTPDL District 4) contacted by HotNews.ro, denied the allegations: “There are people who have something with me. They are lies and do I do not understand their purpose and really do not know why .. . At any time there is political tension and jealousies. ”

“The camp was organized by Mr. Calin Murg from PDL.

The camp was a reward for the group of young people who have served the party tents for gathering petition signatures for stray dogs on euthanasia.

Camp took place between 25 and 30 October in Bran, “said Cristina Gimba, one of the young people who participated in the trip to Bran.

According to the girl, young people were informed that “the road round trip, accommodation and food” were provided, but during the trip occurred “problems one by one.”

“I were staying 4-5 persons in a room for two people. We sleep in shifts’

“The first problem was sleeping in the rooms. We were 15 people and I got to sleep in shifts or 4-5 persons slept in one bed. The room was a double bed. Another problem was the food, there were suppose to be three meals a day. After that there are times when food was announcing served, food was insufficient and came less than how many people we were in the group. We were 15 people and only 8-9 food plates were served, sometimes up to 10 “, Cristina Gimba told us.

The girl’s story is supported by Ion Samoil, the one who organized the PDL mountain trip in District 4, College 18.

“We got there. We were staying even 4 people in each room. We sleep in shifts. The food was very, very little. You got to eat for breakfast only if you were the first one to wake up. I had colleagues who remained didn’t got to ete even the small breakfast and lunch, “said Ion Samoil for HotNews.ro.

“At departure they said we have they had no means to take us back and we should handle ourselver”.

The big problem, according to two of them, occurred at the departure when Radu Mihai, the trip organizer of the party announced that they will have to return to Bucharest on their own.

“Sunday morning, on leaving, we had no transportation to leave with. Let’s see with what can we leave, minibus, bus, for all that you must have money, but Mr. Murg assistant shrugged and said he doesn’t cares. Everyone asked “what do we do in this situation?”. He said he does not care, he did not know, he can not solve this problem and he will leave. And than left. We said how we handle eventually we would call relatives. The situation seemed the most awkward and I think a big mockery, “Cristina Gimba told us.

According to Cristina Gimba, the young people who participated in the trip to Bran “were mostly students. They are sympathizers of the party and helped with the tents for a week to gather signatures for the PDL petition for euthanasing the stray dogs. As far as I know, some are members of youth organizations and others are simply sympathizers. Camp was a reward for the work the young people served at the tents. ”

The organizer of the trip: “They lie. There are some people who think about them they are very smart and have something with me ”

HotNews.ro contacted by telephone and asked about the situation, the trip organizer, Radu Mihai, the youth organizations PDL District 4, has denied all accusations, qualifying them as lies.

It is not true. How to do this? They lie. There are some people who think they are very smart about it and tried to make me seem evil. Do they have something with me. I wanted to do good and they seem like …. liyng. There are just lies and I do not understand the purpose and I really do not know why …”, says Radu Mihai.

“In every rooms there were just 2 persons, just in one room 3 people were staying together but because they wanted it that way. At each table there were two servings each plus and were provided three meals a day. It is true what they say. Everything was provided. People have returned with carriage paid, not their money. When we returned back by train and bus and much of them returned with their cars. Return travel was provided. There the payment was young, “said Radu Mihai.

Asked about the trip and municipal councillor Murg Calin, Mihai Radu said the trip “is a youth project. It was financed by Mr. Calin Murg trip. Mr. Murg had nothing to do with this trip. I do not think she knows this. ”

PDL District 4: Funds for the trip came from donations made by seniors from the College 18

Ask by HotNews.ro of the money was funded trip and what it cost, PDL District 4 representatives stated that the funds come from the seniors of the College 18, but could not say how much money was spent.

“It was a social meeting organized by her young. Funds for the trip came from donations on behalf of the College 18 seniors. The young people are doing a social project, we propose and, if funding is found, it’s approved. Mr. Calin Murg is President of the College 18, PDL District 4, but he didn’t personally financed the trip “, said District 4 representatives PDL.

The organizer of the trip: “In any moment there are political tensions and jealousies. I suppose that is the case here”

In a subsequent discussion, this time worn by e-mail to request, trip organizer OTPDL from District 4, asked what he had with people who criticize the trip, Radu Mihai said that “any time there are tensions and political jealousies. I suppose that is the case here.

“I can only say that the trip was a successful time for at least 15 young people who were transported to the camping trip and bacl home, staying and who have received pre-set conditions,” said Radu Mihai.

The young PDL man also said there is no conflict between himself and any participant in the trip “If you have a person that I can bring any a person who can accuse me of anything, bring evidence also, not just words and inventions, I would like to nominate me. We live in a rule of law and each is responsible for what they say and do, “said Radu Mihai.

Asked about what motivated the young people to criticize the organization and would have to lie about the trip, Radu Mihai said: “For scandal, affirmation, tabloidisation. I do not know if one person or more, but the team works hand than I do, well organized many successful actions, and that bothers some less capable persons. “

England: Special Little ‘Pebbles’ – Departed This World 01/11/12. Take Care Beautiful ‘Pebs’; Until We Meet Again.

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

RAINBOW BRIDGE – For ‘Pebbles’

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when Pebbles suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and Pebbles finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved little head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

Thank You ‘Pebs’ for being such a little, loving sweetie;

and for bringing such joy into our lives.

Take care baby – and we will meet up with you again one day.

You were a very special; beautiful little lady.

God Bless xxx

Romania: Unprecedented Killing Dogs Campaign – by PD-L Party (Romania).

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Dear all,

Opposition/disapproval from Romanian Parliament of the parties PSD and PNL, the opposition of some colleagues party (PD-L) and of the coalition, resulted in PL 912 for dog management (turned into mass killing by PD-L amendments) don’t go through, such as the party in power, meaning PD-L, has every time decided the vote to be postponed. That it is happened in October 18 when, realizing that if they would vote, the project would fail, PD-L has decided to postpone the debate (for 2 November)

Under the title “Bucurestiul fara maidanezi” (Bucharest with no stray dogs), 10 days ago, PD-L has launched in Bucharest, a dirty incredible campaign and unprecedented in the history of Romania, for MASS KILLING OF DOGS, which stretches for several days across the country (especially in areas where the mayors are PD-L), under the title “Elibereaza-ti orasul” (“Clear out your town”):

– lay-out tents where signatures pro killing are collected

– people studded on all subway stations, in markets and crowded areas, sharing flyers

– they illegal use the state institutions (General Inspectorate schools, the Romanian Post), by which the flyers are distributed and signatures are collected. The people do not receive pension, unemployment wages, if they do not sign on the list brought by the postman

– the flyers (two types) include:

I. populist slogans, false information aiming arousing people’s aggressivity against stray dogs wishing thus, as outraged citizens finally opt for the death of dogs

II. false information that creates the impression that “PDL law” requires human management of stray dogs by sterilization, oral information given by representatives of the PD-L are the collecting signatures is for sterilization and / or sheltering, so that under deceitful, false slogans, by manipulating images, most of the citizens who signed the lists do not accept under any circumstances euthanasia as a method of management of stray dogs and they don’t know they actually signed for killing dogs

– To create a favorable image and to create the illusion in the eyes of the signatories that this campaign would be in line with EU policies, PDL has associated its image with the EPP – European People’s Party (whose Membership is) to create the impression their criminal action against street dogs is agreed by the EPP. Thus, the header of lists where the signatures are collected contains EPP logo. Public opinion from Romania, NGOs, the great mass of animal lovers are outraged that EPP is part of this mendacious campaign that instigates to murder.

(attachment: PD-L tent; lists with signatures where EPP logo is; I dis not attach the flyers as they are in Romanian (if you would like please, let me know)

If mass killing of over 10 years did not get any result in the street so why this fight for a failed method??

The sustained fight in which PD-L sends in the street an entire artillery with an impressive ammunition, lists, flyers a.s.o to determine people, by false slogans, by manipulating text and images, is a new indisputable evidence of a mega business with killing dogs:

– The local authorities (and those behind them) allocate huge budgets – just on paper, reporting fictive consumption for sheltering, feeding, sterilization, identification, euthanasia, incineration – ‘legal’ frauds on public money

– profits by selling the dog food and veterinary medicines, that are supposed to be used for the stray dogs

– dog catchers who, to not take the stray dogs protected by the people, require a “protection fee” (around 25 Euro/dog)

– costs of incineration at PROTAN (a controversial company) per kg dead body and the transport for dogs is very expensive

The stray dogs, that incur the state no costs to live on street, are hunted by another type of mafia. Their killing, starvation in the town-halls extermination camps bring profits to a “fat” business up to 500 millions Euro just in the first stage!

Please, send your protest, contact (email, fax, phone) EPP – European People’s Party to show your indignation for their image association (probably EPP does not even know about it) with the dog killing campaign launched by its member-party, PD-L (Democratic Liberal Party) in Romania.

EPP President: Mr. Wilfried Martens

EPP Headquarters: rue du Commerce 10, 1000 Brussels, Belgium

Switchboard: +32-2-2854140, Fax: +32-2-2854141,

Thank you.

Sincerely

Japan: ‘Gas Chambers in Japan’ by Bonnie Snider – Dont Let It Happen Here !

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

Gas chambers in Japan; don’t let this happen here

By Bonnie Snider – Animal Advocacy Examiner

October 30, 2011

Video footage:

http://www.examiner.com/animal-advocacy-in-national/japanese-gas-chambers-warning-graphic-content-video

Article Link;

http://www.examiner.com/animal-advocacy-in-national/gas-chambers-japan-don-t-let-this-happen-here

Over the past week I’ve written articles about the horrors of gas chambers in use in our country to kill unwanted shelter animals. In the United States, there are still states where gas chambers are in use, but thankfully it’s not the majority.

It’s another story entirely for Japan. An investigation conducted by the Sunday Mirror exposed the fact that over 250,000 animals die in what the Japanese disgustingly call “dream machines”; the government-run gas chambers. Source.

“Designer dogs” are all the rage now in Japan, with massive breeding going on for those types of dogs. Pet store windows are crammed full of puppies, but once too old or not considered worthy for sale, they are killed. These animals are considered like any other impulse buy; once tired or bored with the animal, the buyers toss them away without another thought. Puppy mills are now thriving there, with conditions as bad or worse than those in the US.

The reporter for the Sunday Mirror called the Japanese gas chamber system a “conveyor belt of death”. The animals are piled into the chamber, the gas turned on and the agonizing process of death begins. Richard Jones, the Sunday Mirror reporter described it this way:

“As the deadly gas slowly fills the box it takes 10 minutes for the barking inside to die down into heart-breaking whimpers. And as the dogs writhe in agony, it takes another 20 minutes before their twitching bodies are finally still. “

Once this gruesome process of death is finished, their bodies are sent down a chute and into an incinerator, where they are burned. Nobody knows if any survived the gassing, so some of these innocent animals could end up being burned alive. These machines of death murder an average of 550 innocent animals every day.

The nightmare of gas chambers seems to know no bounds. This kind of killing machine is barbaric and sick and there simply must be something done to stop it. We must stand up and be heard to end this nightmare for all animals.

So far, no petitions have been started in connection with the gas chambers of Japan. But there are very important petitions related to this issue in the United States. The one directed at the White House will close on October 31st, so signatures are needed by then. Another has been opened at Care2, as well as another directed at Congress, with ongoing signatures needed. All are linked below.

Please take a moment to sign these critical petitions. These are living breathing beings with emotions and who feel fear and pain just as we do. To kill them in this manner is beyond cruel and must end. They have no choice about being where these machines run, and they have no voice other than ours to stop it.

We’ve seen in the past that our country has used other machines/practices from Asian countries as models to implement in our own. If we’re not careful, these “dream machines” could become a reality right here in our own back yards. Please don’t let that happen.

Serbia: Not Even An EU Member State Yet, But Already Wants To Dismiss New EU Wide Legislation On Stray Animal Population Management ! – Should Serbia Join the EU On These Conditions ?

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

The Veterinary Director of Serbia, Mr.Zoran Micovic, has said on Serbian tv named: Beogradska hronika (18.10.2011), that after several citizens in Belgrade were attacked by stray dogs, he (Micovic) said that Serbia must and will change the laws because it is not possible to do animal controls without killing dogs and cats, and that citizens must be protected first.

He declared that killing will be permitted as is done in Slovenia and other EU countries.

But now, passed just this month, there is now the EU Written Declaration relating to stray dog population management control.

Unfortunately, as is so often the case with Serbian politicians, Mr. Micovic did not follow up the news about this Written declaration, even though it is part of his job task.

The wording of the EU Written declaration is as follows below.

This has now been adopted / approved in the fist stage by the EU Parliament:

WRITTEN DECLARATION

pursuant to Rule 123 of the Rules of Procedureon dog population management in the European Union

Daciana Octavia Sârbu, Elisabeth Jeggle, Raül Romeva i Rueda, Adina-Ioana Vălean, Janusz Wojciechowski

Lapse date: <DateForclusion>{06/10/2011}6.10.2011</DateForclusion>

0026/2011

Written declaration on dog population management in the European Union

The European Parliament,

– having regard to Article 13 of the Lisbon Treaty,

– having regard to the European Parliament resolution of 5 May 2010 on the evaluation of the Animal Welfare Action Plan 2006-2010,

– having regard to Rule 123 of its Rules of Procedure,

A. whereas, according to the Treaty, animals are sentient beings and the EU and Member States must pay full regard to the welfare requirements of animals,

B. whereas in some Member States, stray animals pose a threat to public health and safety,

C. whereas some Member States are taking extreme measures against stray animals,

1. Calls on the Commission to ensure that the principle mentioned in Article 13 of the Treaty is respected by the Member States;

2. Calls on the Member States to adopt comprehensive dog population management strategies which include measures such as dog control and anti-cruelty laws, support for veterinary procedures including rabies vaccination and sterilisation as necessary to control the number of unwanted dogs, and the promotion of responsible pet ownership;

3. Ask the Commission to encourage the Member States to introduce the mandatory identification and registration of every dog, by means of EU-wide compatible systems, in order to avoid the spread of diseases;

4. Instructs its President to forward this declaration, together with the names of the signatories, to the Commission and the governments of the Member States.

So under the regulations of this new WD, Slovenia and the rest of EU member countries will actually be obligated to do changes to their own national legislation so that the killing healthy dogs/cats going under the name of ‘euthanasia’ will be forbidden.

Sterilisation, identification by micro-chipping, responsible animal ownership for all owned animals will need to be undertaken as per the requirements of the WD.

This is the only way that dog and cat population numbers will ever be reduced in the EU; something which animal welfare campaigners have been saying for years, and which even now, the Serbian government still wants to dismiss !

But it must also be remembered, as it is a very important point; Serbia is wishing to become a member state of the EU. If it does, then it will be required to introduce all the EU legislation into its own national legislation – and this includes the requirements of the WD on dog population management in the EU.

So Serbia and the Veterinary Director of Serbia, Mr.Zoran Micovic; if you want to come into the EU, then you abide by the regulations of the EU. If you do not, then you remain out of the EU. The choice and requirements are simple for most people to understand; even though you still consider that you are in a position to ‘invent’ your own set of regulations which are non compliant with the new standards which have just been approved within the EU !

We can confirm that activists in Serbia are now currently informing the Serbian press and media that Mr.Zoran Micovic is way out of touch with the current situation in the EU – a situation of membership that his government is so keen to join. We suggest that he takes a good long look at the wording of the WD and changes his approach to ensure that this is adopted within Serbia; and not his old paaroach of kill, kill, kill as it has always been in the past.

FROM NOW, WE WILL BE WATCHING THE APPROACH OF Mr.Zoran Micovic AND HIS SERBIAN GOVERNMENT VERY CLOSELY. IF THERE IS AN APPROACH TO DEVIATE FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE WD, THEN WE WILL BE MAKING REPRESENTATIONS WITHIN THE EU TO ALERT THEM TO SERBIAN NON COMPLIANCE; WHICH WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED GOOD FOR A STATE STILL WISHING TO JOIN !!!

Veterinary inspectors in Serbia have never taken the correct approach to stray animal management.

They do not punish irresponsible owners who do not have their animals sterilised, but who still allow their dogs and cats to go onto the streets every day to reproduce with un-sterilised stray street animals. A continuous cycle of ever increasing stray animals results. Yet the government is so thick it does not seem to, or want to, understand that something corrective has to be undertaken.

The EU written declaration should now start to address this problem.

For the Serbian government, the choice is a simple one – either play by EU rules (the WD) and become a member state, or ignore it and stay out of the EU.

Whatever your choice; we are watching and will take necessary action that we consider is required.
