Stop the use of Karakul lamb foetus fur in fashion!! Please, SIGN!

The designers and fashion houses apparently innocently call this fur “astrakhan” this season, but in reality is the the fur of premature foetal (unborn) Persian or karakul lambs about two weeks before birth. The Karakul is usually black, shiny, and so tightly curled that it forms smooth ridges. The fur noticeably loses luster over the next ten days, and uncurls and lightens in color rapidly within the first two or three days after birth. The younger the lamb or fetus, the more valuable the pelt, and many unsuspecting buyers are purchasing these items unaware it is actually fur, because it resembles watered silk or crushed velvet. It looks man made.

More worryingly, a reporter with the Daily Mail in London recently talked to a fur dealer in Frankfurt, Germany, who said that he sells karakul coats under the “Kara-Cool” label, which, according to the journalist, “appeals to the younger shoppers. The new processing techniques and the new colors mean we are appealing to a younger customer”. Another fur dealer told the Daily Mail. “We used to say that all you could make out of karakul was a black coat fit for a funeral, but not anymore.”

Kara-Cool, astrakhan, broadtail, and Persian lamb are just a few of the labels under which the fur of newborn or fetal lambs could be sold; others include swakara or krimmer. It would seem clear that designers and retailers will continually find a way to repackage and remarket karakul and broadtail fur to an unsuspecting public, a public that has no idea how ugly the slaughter of lambs (and their mothers) can be.

Incandescent

On a farm near Bukhara, in the former Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, pregnant ewes were routinely slaughtered for fetal pelts. Graphic videotape shot at the farm showed a pregnant ewe held down, her throat slit, and her stomach slashed wide so that a worker could remove the developing fetus the “raw material” for coats, vests, and other broadtail fashions. A local quotes: “Basically, the sheep is killed with a lamb still inside it. It’s a very old practice in Uzbekistan. I remember in Soviet times that karakultcha was very fashionable among Communist Party leaders and their families. In those days, we would fatten and then, over several weeks, kill about 50,000 pregnant sheep to obtain the pelts from the unborn lambs.”

Karakul and broadtail fur can turn up in coats, skirts, vests, linings, accessories, and trim. Designers who use this fur include Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce & Gabbana; Gabbana, Miuccia Prada, Christian Dior, Valentino, Carolina Herrera, Givenchy, and Claudio Merazzi.

One way to stop the killing of infant and fetal lambs for their fur is to stop buying the products made from their pelts. Read labels closely and look for words such as Kara-Cool, astrakhan, broadtail, Persian lamb, swakara and krimmer. And tell your friends to do the same. Lobby these designers, this is a the most distressing story every to come out of the Fashion world.

Please sign this petition now to stop this barbaric trade in the name of Vanity!

I WOULD RATHER GO NAKED THAN WEAR THIS FUR!

YOUR taxes are subsidizing bullfights ( Petition )

Bullfighting has been banned in the UK since 1835 and is illegal in many other European Union countries, such as Germany and the Netherlands. However, the European Commission is using people’s tax money to subsidies the breeding of bulls for bullfights.

It is estimated that bull breeders who provide bulls for bullfighting receive around 30 million Euros a year in subsidies through the EU. These subsidies are dispensed through the Common Agricultural Policy, to which the UK contributes billions of pounds each year. I know you agree with us that bullfighting is an appallingly cruel and totally outdated ‘sport.’ Bullfighting is a dying industry, but these subsidies are helping to keep it alive. And it’s YOUR money that’s keeping it alive.

We need your help to send a strong message to European decision – makers that bullfighting has no place in a modern, civilized society. Please join campaigners across Europe and take action now.

Email Dacian Cioloş, the European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, and tell him to stop the subsidies.

Catalonia’s recent decision to ban bullfighting is further evidence that this ‘sport’ lies in the past. The European Union must respect the wishes of its citizens and stop subsidizing cruelty.

In Memory of Fallen AR Martyr Jill Phipps

On Wednesday 1st, February 1995, 31 year old protester Jill Phipps was crushed to death under the wheels of an export truck carrying baby veal calves into Coventry Airport. Despite the fact that nearly 100 officers were on duty that day, 10 of the 33 protesters present had broken through police lines and attempted to bring the lorry to a halt by sitting on the road and attempting to chain themselves to it.

Jill and the thers mistakenly assumed that police officers and the lorry driver would respect human lives a little more than those of the animals being sent to their deaths, sadly they were wrong. The police on duty allowed the export lorry to continue making progress, despite the clear safety problems, and the vehicle was only halted once Jill had been crushed beneath the wheels. The Crown Prosecution Service decided there was not enough evidence to charge Stephen Yates with Causing death by dangerous driving.

Jill Phipps brother Zab commented, “Jill was crushed and died on the way to hospital. Our mother, Nancy, was with her. The driver has not been charged, not even with driving without due care and attention”.

A protester at the scene commented “Jill died after police waved on the lorry carrying the calves despite the fact that protesters were still occupying the road the lorry was to go down. Despite their public claims to the contrary, Warwickshire police were so keen to protect the business of this filthy firm that they had made little effort to ensure the way was clear”. Assuming the road to be clear after the police had signalled him to move on, the truck driver moved off at speed, knocking Jill down and crushing her under his wheels.

Donate to Jill’s memorial Fund

www.jillphipps.org.uk/jillsFund.htm

The Jill Phipps Fund was formed to help finance Jill’s Day 2005 but it is also as an ongoing way of raising money for campaigning and sanctuaries. Any amount of money you can donate would be very much appreciated, so please consider making a donation in Jill’s name and help keep up all the great work that Jill’ s fund does to remember her life and honour her beliefs.

STOP DOG ABUSE IN INDIA – The Petition Site

Dog is considered Man’s best friend but it is proving to be the reverse in this case. The picture that you see is a specific incident that took place in Meerut, India. You can follow this link http://meerut-incident.synthasite.com/ and see the entire horrific incident that took place there. But it is not only Meerut; it happens all over India. In Kerala hundreds of dogs were culled before the president arrival. And they were beaten to death. The torture of the dogs is endless. This petition tries to raise the awareness. Your voice and your signature is their survival. The more you sign and the more you ask people to sign can put an end to this. LET’S BRING A CHANGE.

Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India

India is the only country in world that provides in its Constitution for mercy and care of the animals BUT here’s proof that the Meerut administration has unleashed shocking brutality on the stray dogs in the area to protect & shield the ILLEGAL CATTLE SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

For the government of Uttar Pradesh state, India and its functionaries it seems like a perfect solution that people are venting out their anger by killing ALL and INNOCENT dogs. It suits the bureaucracy as it does not to bother the SLAUGHTER HOUSES and STOP the EVER FOURISHING TRADE OF Illegal CATTLE MEAT INDUSTRY in Meerut.

In a tragic incident, a five-year-old boy who had gone out in search of his mother in a field, has been attacked and bitten to death by a pack of street dogs at Kazipur, Meerut. As a result the villagers are eliminating each stray by brutally killing them.

They are ostensibly ‘remedying’ the situation that led to death of two children in village Kazipur, Meerut, allegedly due to stray dog attacks. In fact, there is an illegal abattoir in village Kazipur, which is violating every possible norm – pollution control, animal waste disposal, etc. Apparently, 5000 animals, mainly cattle, INCLUDING COWS are slaughtered in the abattoir every day – and then, the animal parts that are not used, and blood, bones, etc., are all allowed to flow into an open nullah adjacent to the abattoir, that flows through village Kazipur and beyond. The strays of the area feed on these animal remains as a consequence ; or attacked children who ventured too close to the nullah that is their food source.

THIS IS THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE ADMINISTRATION TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS WHILE PEOPLE TAKE LAW IN THEIR HANDS. PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE ACT OF KILLING DOGS AS AN ENTERTAINMENT FOR THEM (see pictures).

In any event, what has followed, and continues to unfold every single day, is murder, and cruelty beyond belief. They are caught, they are cornered, many have been viciously beaten to death. The dogs are caught in the most brutal manner possible, kept without food and water for 2 – 3 days until a sizeable number are ‘collected’, and then – mainly released into the forest, or surreptitiously put down or beaten to death AS NO LAW AND ORDER IS RESPECTED IN MEERUT anymore.

INCLUDING THE POLICE, D.M., MAYOR, or U.P. GOVERNMENT, no one is bothered to stop/ control people from taking the law in their hands and brutally slaughtering dogs using innovative methods, which also includes use of arms and weapons.

All this despite the SUPREME COURT of INDIA has put a STAY AGAINST ANY KIND OF KILLING OF DOGS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

Series of photographs are attached, forwarded by Jeev Karuna Sanstha, Meerut. Some of them are 15 – 25 days old, and some as recent as 3 – 5 days.

The Animal Welfare Board of India has written thrice to various functionaries within the administration. They have advised the administration regarding the correct method of controlling stray dog population. They have apprised them as to the law – the PCA Act, the ABC Rules, etc. They have offered help and guidance, for setting up the requisite sterilization, immunization infrastructure within Meerut. Eventually, they have threatened legal action, but to no avail.

PLEASE lets all write to them & Let them know that we know what is going on and we condemn the government and their functionaries for loosing the control over law and order in their state & one small city and for protecting an ILLEGAL SLAUGHTER HOUSE of CATTLE.

Hopefully a worldwide protest will put an end to this open torturous killing of innocent animals and will also shut down the illegal slaughter house, the main cause of the problem.

Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters and only you can stop it. We as rescuers do our best to save every life we can but rescues are always full, and there are more animals coming in everyday than there are homes. My point to all of this DONT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER PETS DIE! Hate me if you want to. The truth hurts and reality is what it is. I just hope I maybe changed one persons mind about breeding their dog, taking their loving pet to a shelter, or buying a dog. I hope that someone will walk into a shelter and say I saw this video and it made me want to adopt. THAT WOULD MAKE IT WORTH IT.

The cruel “tradition” of bullfighting does not display any form of courage or bravery. This murderous “tradition” only shows the true art of cowardice and cruelty. Unfortunately, many people believe that bullfighting is a form of traditional art and culture. This idea is false and derived off of ignorance. Bullfighting is animal cruelty and torture. For those who do not fully understand the true extent of cruelty within bullfighting, we will explain the “traditional and cultural art” of cowardice and cold ruthlessness.

A cowardly picador slams a spear into a bull from relative safety on top of a horse. The bull attacks the horse, believing it be the source of his torment. The horse is used as a living shield by a thug who doesn’t know the meaning of integrity, bravery, or a fair fight.

A bull in obvious physical distress can do nothing but stand and bleed, with several decorative tags still hanging from his mutilated body. During it all, sickeningly festive band music plays for the crowds.

Crowds cheer as a mutilated bull named Bright Eyes falls to the ground once he’s too weak to stand. Several matadors stand around waving their capes trying to look useful while the bull collapses.

A matador approaches the fallen bull Bright Eyes from behind and knifes the animal in the back of the neck. The bull falls over with eyes bulging in shock and terror. The matador continues to cut the still conscious animal, while children run over to see the gore and blood close up.

After being tortured beyond imagination, the fallen bull Bright Eyes has to endure one more atrocity as his ear is cut off for a trophy. Blood runs down the skull and pools under the animal’s head. Bright Eyes is somehow still alive and conscious, feeling every cut and jab. The crowd continues to cheer and whistle, fully aware of what has just happened.

A matador drives a sword between the shoulders of a bull. As usual, the sword does not kill the victim, and the thugs run around the bull to make him move, so the sword will cut up his insides.

Stabbed in the lungs, and spewing blood from his nose and mouth, a bull is run in circles by the killer thugs. This causes the sword to cut up the victim’s insides.

Bulls are rarely killed by the thrust of the sword, and this victim was no exception. As he lowers in agony and complete submission, a coward approaches him from behind. Even now the “bullfighter” has no courage.

Still conscious, but paralyzed from being stabbed in the back of the neck to mutilate his spinal cord, the bull is dragged from the bullring by ropes tied around his back legs. He was butchered alive.

Bullfighting is not a cultural or traditional form of art or sport. Bullfighting is the sadistic torture and slaughter of an already injured and frightened bull whose fate will ultimately end up in death. No living creature deserves this cruel and painful fate. Please help stop this massacre from taking any more innocent lives. Bullfighting must be stopped and these innocent animals need our voice to speak out for them and against this cruelty. Please contact any country officials that are allowing this bloodbath to occur and continue to take the lives of innocent and frightened animals. These animals are suffering and they need our voice, our involvement and our help. Please be their voice.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us and we will respond as soon as we are able. If you need the addresses to contact Mexican and Spanish embassies to urge them to stop the cruelty of bullfighting, please contact us and we will provide you with the addresses so that you can write them and demand that they end bullfighting and all its horrors.

Thousands of Chickens Burn Alive; CCF is Amused
by Stephanie Ernst
Published June 03, 2009

The Center for Consumer Freedom and its unscrupulous mouth piece are fond of pretending that they do care about at least basic animal welfare but that they’re just “normal” about it, as opposed to those of us who are extreme– that is, those of us who really care about eliminating unnecessary suffering rather than just occasionally pretending to care for sake of PR. Well, here’s one of those great examples of how much they care:

What’s he referring to? What’s so funny that it calls for his trademark flippancy and sarcasm? Thousands of chickens were burned alive in Washington State late last night and early this morning. Clearly hilarious.

Fellow animals able to feel terror and pain every bit as much as you and I were trapped inside enormous sheds, while smoke joined the usual burning ammonia in their lungs, while they panicked, while they screamed out and flapped their wings as much as their cramped quarters and burdened bodies would allow, while they burned alive, trapped and with no hope of escape. And a propaganda artist who likes to set himself and his clients up as the level-headed ones, as the ones who represent the majority of Americans and consumers, thinks it’s funny. He’s just disappointed that they burned to a crisp inside a shed rather than on his grill. The panic, the horror, the terror, the pain — it’s all irrelevant.

Screw you, Martosko. Screw you

And while we’re talking about this nightmare, exactly how many chickens died? Oh, we don’t know yet, or at least it’s not printed in the news stories. I’ve located (this fire/rescue news site finds the story funny too apparently; “Chickens Fry in Washington Blaze,” it quips). We just know it was in the “thousands.” But we do know, of course, that the massive blaze caused $2.2 million in “damages.” Money, as always, is what’s important. Not unknown thousands of individual living beings, each one of whom had his or her own personality, each one of whom wanted to live, each one of whom suffered, in terror, as much in that fire as either you or I would have–and each one of whom undoubtedly suffered horribly up until those final terrible moments too.

Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote in a personal space about media reports on a fire in Boston in which countless lobsters died. There too, the real victims–the animals themselves– didn’t matter. We didn’t hear about how many lobsters died. We didn’t read about how awful their deaths must have been– after all, they were just lobsters, and people were going to boil them alive anyway, right? Instead, the lamentations were over how many pounds of “lobster” were “lost,” how much money went up in smoke.

I don’t have the words to conclude this post poetically or wittily. I’m just too sad. I’m just too disappointed. I’m just too angry and in awe of human callousness and carelessness and lack of compassion. We are not the superior species we claim to be.

A Letter from a Shelter Manager:

As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all …a view from the inside, if you will.

First off, all of you breeders/sellers should be made to work in the “back” of an animal shelter for just one day. ONE DAY!

Maybe if you saw the life drain from these sad, lost, & confused eyes, you would change your mind about breeding and selling to people you don’t even know. That puppy you just sold will most likely end up in my shelter when it’s not a cute little puppy anymore.

So how would you feel if you knew that there’s a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter where it’s going to be dumped? Purebred or not …about 50% of all of the dogs that are “owner surrenders” or “strays” are purebred dogs!

“We’re moving and can’t take our dog (or cat).” Really?!

“The dog got bigger than we thought it would.” How big did you think a German Shepherd would get?

They always tell me, “we just don’t want to have to stress about finding a place for her. We know she’ll get adopted, she’s a good dog.”

Odds are your pet won’t get adopted. How stressful do you think it is to be dumped at a shelter? Well, let me tell you, your pet has 72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off. Sometimes a little longer if the shelter isn’t full and your dog manages to stay completely healthy. If it sniffles, it dies.

Your pet will be confined to a small run/kennel in a room with about 25 other barking or crying animals. It will have to relieve itself where it eats and sleeps. It will be depressed and it will cry constantly for the family that abandoned it.

If your pet is lucky, I will have enough volunteers in that day to take him/her for a walk. If I don’t, your pet won’t get any attention besides having a bowl of food slid under the kennel door and the waste sprayed out of it’s pen with a high-powered hose.

If your dog is big, black or any of the “Bully” breeds (Pit Bull, Rottie, Mastiff, etc) it was pretty much dead when you walked through the front door. Those dogs just don’t get adopted. It doesn’t matter how ‘sweet’ or ‘well behaved’ they are. If your dog doesn’t get adopted within it’s 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed. If the shelter isn’t full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed it may get a stay of execution, but not for long. Most dogs get very kennel protective after about a week and are destroyed for showing aggression. Even the sweetest dogs will turn in this environment.

Here’s a little Euthanasia 101 for those of you that have never witnessed a perfectly healthy, scared animal being “put-down.” First, your pet will be taken from its kennel on a leash. They always look like they think they are going for a walk …happy, wagging their tails …until they get to “The Room.” Every one of them freaks out and puts the brakes on when they get to the door. It must smell like death or they can feel the sad souls that are left in there. It’s strange, but it happens with every one of them. Your dog or cat will be restrained, held down by 1 or 2 vet techs, depending on their size and how freaked out they are. Then aeuthanasia tech or a vet will start the process. They will find a vein in the front leg and inject a lethal dose of the “pink stuff”. Hopefully your pet doesn’t panic from being restrained and jerk. I’ve seen needles tear out of a leg and been covered with the resulting blood & deafened by the yelps and screams. They all don’t just “go to sleep,” sometimes they spasm for a while, gasp for air and defecate on themselves. When it all ends, your pet’s corpse will be stacked like firewood in a large freezer in the back …with all of the other animals killed that day …waiting to be picked up like garbage.

Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters and only you can stop it. I do my best to save every life I can but rescues are always full, and there are more animals coming in everyday than there are homes.

My point to all of this: DON’T BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER PETS DIE.

I hope someone will walk into my shelter and say “I saw this and it made me want to adopt.”

….When people think of cruelty, they often think of a person starving or beating an animal. In other words, they think of actions that are against the law. They may also think of things done by other nations, such as whale hunting, bear farming, bull fighting, or clubbing seal pups.

….Certainly all of these actions are cruel,
but animals also suffer much closer to home.
Mostly people don’t think about everyday suffering!

Animals killed for food, battery hens, laboratory animals, animals that are trapped, poisoned, or hunted for sport. These actions aren’t illegal, but they cause suffering to more individuals than people who starve or beat their animals. ….

….So what is cruelty? In what ways do animals suffer?

….Pain. All animals with backbones (vertebrates) feel pain like we do. Hooking fish, fire branding cattle, catching animals in steel-jaw traps, cutting tails off lambs and beaks off hens, all cause pain.

….Stress and Fear. Vertebrate animals feel anxiety like we do. Transport is very stressful for animals, especially live export overseas. Being pulled out of the water and left to suffocate causes great stress to fish. Dairy calves taken from their mother after 1 day and trucked to slaughter at 1 week of age suffer greatly.

….Frustration. Animals need more than food and water for their well-being – they also need to be able to carry out the behaviour that is natural to their species. Otherwise they become frustrated and may develop abnormal behaviour, just like a mentally disturbed person. Signs of frustration can be seen in battery hens, pigs in tiny stalls, rabbits in laboratory cages, foxes and mink on fur farms, and some zoo and circus animals. ….

.…Animal Cruelty in…

….Factory Farms

….Animals in factory farms are treated as machines, not sentient beings who feel pain and emotions just like dogs or cats. Their welfare is disregarded in the name of profit, and they suffer horrendous conditions in mind boggling numbers. On standard commercial egg farms, hens are kept in such small cages that they cannot even lift one wing. Factory farmed animals have their beaks, tails, horns and genitals chopped off with no anesthesia. All animals on factory farms are kept intensively and painfully confined. At the end of their miserable lives, they are all sent to violent commercial slaughterhouses where stunning procedures often fail, and the animals are dismembered or skinned while still conscious.

….In order to boycott factory farm cruelty altogether, as well as the devastating effects of factory farming on the environment and human health, compassionate people all over the world are going vegan or vegetarian. ….

….Laboratories

….Vivisection is the cutting into or dissecting of a live animal. Billions of non-human animals have been burnt, crushed, sliced, electrocuted, poisoned with toxic chemicals, and psychologically tormented in the name of scientific curiosity. What have we learned from all of this suffering? That animal research is inherently unethical, inevitably wasteful, and wholly unreliable. The U.S. squanders approximately $18 billion per year on animal experiments, much of which is funded by taxpayers, even though alternatives are less expensive and can be used repeatedly. And what do we get for our dollars? “Too much suffering for too little knowledge.” ….

….Fur Farms

….More than 45 million animals worldwide, including raccoon dogs, rabbits, foxes, mink, and chinchillas, are raised in cages and killed each year for their fur. Not only are cage-raised animals killed inhumanely, but they suffer from numerous physical and behavioral abnormalities induced by the stress of caging conditions. After spending their short lives in squalid conditions, animals raised on fur farms are killed by cruel methods that preserve the pelt, such as gassing, neck-breaking and anal electrocution. Some are skinned alive!

….Animals living in the wild are the unseen victims of human exploitation.

Their lives are cruelly cut short for the sake of greed, vanity, and the so-called thrill of sadistic bloodsports

Every form of violence and cruelty imaginable is inflicted upon wild animals and yet the public is largely unaware of these abuses. ….

….Trapping

….Millions of wild animals, including bobcats, coyotes, foxes, lynx, raccoons, and wolves, suffer and die in traps each year. Countless dogs and cats, deer, birds and other animals—including threatened and endangered animals—are also injured and killed each year by the indiscriminate traps. Traps, including steel-jaw leghold traps, body-gripping traps, and wire neck snares, are inhumane devices that inflict great pain and suffering. ….

….Hunting

….Although it was a crucial part of humans’ survival 100,000 years ago, hunting is now nothing more than a violent form of recreation that the vast majority of hunters do not need for subsistence.

….Many animals suffer prolonged, painful deaths when they are injured but not killed by hunters.

….Hunting disrupts migration and hibernation patterns and destroys families. For animals like wolves, who mate for life and live in close-knit family units, hunting can devastate entire communities. The stress that hunted animals suffer—caused by fear and the inescapable loud noises and other commotion that hunters create—also severely compromises their normal eating habits, making it hard for them to store the fat and energy that they need in order to survive the winter.
