Don't Let Another Bear Cub Die in Russia's Hibernating Bear Hunt - The Petition Site

Don't Let Another Bear Cub Die in Russia's Hibernating Bear Hunt - The Petition Site

It's hard to imagine the cruelty of the Russian winter bear hunt.

A mother bear is violently shaken from her winter hibernation, forced out of her den, and shot by a wealthy trophy hunter. She dies bravely protecting her den, while inside her tiny and defenseless cubs are left motherless. It's heartbreaking to think of the cubs orphaned and left to slowly freeze to death.

Each year, den hunting leaves up to 4,000 cubs motherless. Some of these homeless cubs end up as pets to local villagers, while others are taken to entertain tourists or be eaten in restaurants. Most are abandoned and left to die.

Brown bears in Russia are one of the last remaining healthy brown bear populations in the world -- Tell Russia to outlaw den hunting.

Tell Iraq to Stop the Inhumane Killing of Dogs - The Petition Site

Tell Iraq to Stop the Inhumane Killing of Dogs - The Petition Site
Help SPCA International Tell the Iraq Government to Find Humane Solutions! (http://www.spca.com/)

200 dogs were killed by inhumane measures in Baghdad, Iraq on Sunday, marking the beginning of a government campaign to reduce the animal overpopulation problem that plagues the country. These drastic actions were taken in response to a local public outcry for officials to do something about the stray packs of dogs that can cause human health and safety problems.



SPCA International adamantly condemns the inhumane methods employed in the campaign, including using poisoned meat and rifles. These means cause extreme and prolonged agony. There are humane alternatives that have proven effective and SPCA International encourages the Iraqi government to immediately stop the inhumane killing and implement humane methods.


Today, SPCA International began an effort to reach out to Iraqi officials to offer help in developing a more humane and long-lasting solution to the country's stray animal problem.



"Killing strays alone is merely a band-aid approach to reducing the number of unwanted dogs," says SPCA International Director of Communications, Stephanie Scroggs. "In order to better manage any stray animal population a combination of tactics must be used including spay and neuter, vaccinating healthy animals and euthanizing those that are sick or aggressive."



SPCA International, and others in the animal welfare movement, know that this 3-pronged approach works. Without this combination of solutions, the Iraq stray population will never be controllable and the inhumane practices currently being used will continue.

We must halt the annual massacre of Yellowstone's buffalo by the National Park Service and Montana's Department of Livestock. It is unconscionable that more than 1,400 buffalo from America's last wild, free-roaming herd were sent to the slaughterhouse this past winter. Tell the National Park Service to be the guardian of our country's wild bison by putting a new, more compassionate plan in place!"

Norwegian fur farms revealed

The Norwegian fur industry is continuously trying to present fur farming as unproblematic. During the summer of 2008 activists from Network for Animal Freedom traveled the country to see how the farm animals are actually treated. We inspected more than 100 randomly chosen fur farms in every county where such farms exist, covering over 20 percent of the fur farms in Norway.

Too many animals still suffer an excruciating death in gas chambers, or due to being euthanized by non qualified staff.

Both dogs and cats are stuffed in metal boxes which them get sealed and filled up with poisonous gas. The animals should be sedated first but this doesn't occur. They die a slow excruciating death, sometimes agonizing for several minutes. It is not uncommon for young and old animals survive this horrific procedure, to be gassed again or killed in another way."

Heartbreaking Cruelty - Dog Tied up like in a Crucifixtion - Limassol Cyprus - The Petition Site

Heartbreaking Cruelty - Dog Tied up like in a Crucifixtion - Limassol Cyprus - The Petition Site

On 21/05/2008 an English resident in Limassol Cyprus rang Argos Sanctuary to report that a dog was tied up (like in a crucifixtion) above his balcony in Limassol from 5.15am until 11.15am.
Argos immediately reported it to the local police and the police went to the flat but by that time the dog had been moved inside the apartment. As the police found the dog inside they could not prove who it was that had tied the dog to the balcony. The Police spoke to the dog owner and as there was not enough proof who had actually commited this terrible act, they said nothing could be done.

Argos Sanctuary decided to take the case to court but the police closed it due to lack of evidence. The President of Argos had a meeting on 05/08/08 with the Ministry to reopen the case and they now need your support.

This poor creature is still with the owners who subjected it to this horrific cruelty and God only knows what other acts of cruelty it has been subjected to since.

We desperately need your support to prioritise this case so they can save this tortured animal and prosecute the owners.

“The Ultra-Fine Wool Industry”

More videos from Animals Australia

Recent investigations have revealed a 'growing' animal industry that the vast majority of Australians would be unaware of.
'Ultra-fine' wool growers supply an elite international market and wealthy buyers from the world's foremost fashion houses.

Ultra-fine wool growing is an intensive animal industry. Specially-bred sheep are kept indoors in individual small pens 24 hours a day for four or five years. Nylon coats are worn by the 'shedded' sheep to further ensure that dust and dirt does not enter their fleece -- and, like every other intensive animal industry, the behavioural and social needs of the sheep, intrinsic factors which provide quality of life, are completely ignored.

The impacts of chronic stress caused by an inappropriate environment are obvious. The confined sheep continually chew on the wooden slats and strands of wire which enclose them. Repetitive body movements were also observed - classic stereotypic behaviours caused by a barren environment (which leads to chronic boredom), combined with the inability to exercise, or to perform simple natural behaviours such as the ability to graze on grass.

Worst Animal Cruelty Case Puppy Hacked to Death - The Petition Site

Worst Animal Cruelty Case Puppy Hacked to Death - The Petition Site

The horrendous acts commited against this poor defenceless puppy are nothing short of sickening. In Queensland in October 2008 Trent Willliam Cunniffe 24 and Jonathon Connor Blake 21 committed the drawn-out torture of Peanut, a 10-month fox terrier abducted from a family's Moranbah home

RSPCA officers consider Peanut's prolonged mutilation to be
one of the worst cases in Australian history. Even police were
sickened when they viewed videophone images of the ordeal.

The violent slaughter of this defenceless animal was recorded on a mobile phone. Peanut was slashed with garden shears and a pocketknife --
severing his nose, a front leg, rear leg and finally, his head. During the
video's last segment, Peanut's amputated body parts are displayed.

Their case is due to be mentioned in court again on Nov 17 so please sign and forward this to as many as you can to help ensure that the severest penalties possible are handed down to the men that committed this unthinkable crime

Christiane Stahl-Hennig, are also the ones supposed to control the institute according to the Animal Protection Act! This is ridiculous! They are also responsible and in control of the attrocity made in the center. They buy, sell and breed Monkeys for all kinds of tests. They provide other institutes with samples of vivo as well as post mortem sample materials! The content of the WebPages also shows the closed relation amongst zoos and such Institutes as DPZ.

Notícias da Animal: PETIÇÃO COM 18.OOO ASSINATURAS A ENTREGAR NA AR

Em audiência com o Presidente da Assembleia da República, ANIMAL entrega, nesta 5.ª feira, petição com 18.000 assinaturas reclamando ao Parlamento que estabeleça um código de protecção dos animais moderno, eficaz, progressista e justo

Nesta 5.ª feira, 23 de Outubro, às 12h, a Direcção da ANIMAL será recebida no Parlamento, numa audiência com o Presidente da Assembleia da República, a quem entregará formalmente a “Petição Por Um Código de Protecção dos Animais Moderno, Eficaz, Progressista e Justo”, que reclama ao Parlamento que aprove e estabeleça uma nova lei de protecção dos animais em Portugal, formulada enquanto Código de Protecção dos Animais e redigida e concebida em função do proposto no “Manifesto ANIMAL – Proposta Orientadora para um Código Português de Protecção dos Animais”, documento preparado também pela ANIMAL e apresentado por esta organização aos seis grupos parlamentares na Assembleia da República há cerca de um ano.

A petição, que reuniu até ao momento 18.000 subscritores, é a mais forte reclamação alguma vez dirigida ao legislador português acerca de matérias relativas à protecção dos animais, dado que se trata de uma petição em que não se pede apenas uma medida específica e isolada mas sim todo um conjunto de medidas legislativas de protecção dos animais de Portugal integradas numa lei que condense, agilize, modernize, reforce fortemente, torne mais justo e clarifique o estatuto de protecção jurídica dos animais e que defina, de forma clara, concreta e restritiva as implicações práticas, em termos de normas reguladoras, proibições, obrigações, sanções e procedimentos, que um tal estatuto deve estabelecer.

“É justamente porque se trata de uma petição tão completa, que apoia uma proposta que é também um caderno reivindicativo muito forte e exigente, ao mesmo tempo que razoável e realista, que reputamos a adesão a esta petição como sendo extraordinariamente importante e louvável. É mais uma prova, que vem corroborar tantas outras, nomeadamente os impressionantes resultados do estudo «Valores e Atitudes dos Portugueses Face à Protecção dos Animais», de que as cidadãs e os cidadãos portugueses querem que o Estado Português mude de atitude em relação aos animais do nosso país, passando a tornar-se um seu defensor e zelador, ao invés de continuar a destinar-lhes a indiferença ou a infligir-lhes danos, como até aqui tem feito. O Estado não tem sido uma pessoa de bem nesta área e é tempo de o passar a ser. Cabe ao Parlamento fazer com que assim seja”, afirmou Rita Silva, Vice-Presidente da ANIMAL.

Para Miguel Moutinho, Presidente da ANIMAL, “este é o tempo da mudança. Estamos no início de um novo ano parlamentar. Há um ano que o “Manifesto ANIMAL” se encontra com os grupos parlamentares, para análise e reflexão deste compreensivo documento. Agora, é tempo dos grupos parlamentares e dos deputados passarem à acção legislativa efectiva neste domínio, tendo um bom documento de base como útil suporte para poderem produzir a lei de protecção de que os animais de Portugal precisam e que os portugueses querem ver implementada. Além disso, a um ano de eleições, é importante que os líderes políticos e parlamentares, assim como cada deputado, compreenda que o que for feito nesta matéria nos tempos mais imediatos virá, sem dúvida alguma, a definir o sentido de voto de muitas portuguesas e de muitos portugueses que querem ver finalmente satisfeito o seu desejo de viver num país que respeita e protege minimamente os seus animais e que, nesse sentido, querem que os seus representantes eleitos tomem as medidas que reflictam esse desejo.”

Além destas 18.000 assinaturas, o “Manifesto ANIMAL” e a reclamação legislativa de um código de protecção dos animais têm sido apoiados de maneiras muito diferentes, todas elas vindo reforçar o caso a favor da tomada desta medida. A título de exemplo, é de referir que, até ao momento, mais de 10.000 mensagens de e-mail foram endereçadas, ao longo de um ano, ao Presidente da Assembleia da República, pedindo ao Parlamento que tomasse a medida que agora é ainda mais expressamente instado a tomar. Também os líderes parlamentares receberam milhares de mensagens no mesmo sentido ao longo deste ano, tendo outras mensagens seguido igualmente para as direcções dos seis partidos com assento parlamentar. Acresce que, simbolicamente, através do site da campanha, www.ManifestoANIMAL.org, tanto na versão portuguesa quanto na inglesa deste site, um total conjunto de 10.120 pessoas registaram, até ao momento presente, o seu apoio a estas reclamações, enquanto 11.114 pessoas subscreveram as duas petições online (portuguesa e inglesa) a favor destas reclamações – que, apesar de não serem formalmente válidas, têm um importante valor simbólico.

“A audiência com o Senhor Presidente da Assembleia da República marcará o arranque definitivo da segunda fase desta campanha, durante a qual nos esforçaremos por trabalhar com os grupos parlamentares e com os parlamentares para que efectivamente o actual estado de coisas neste campo mude de forma muito importante. A protecção dos animais é, hoje, uma questão política porque é extremamente relevante do ponto de vista social, além da importância moral de que inequivocamente se reveste. O Parlamento deve reconhecê-lo e, desse reconhecimento, deve finalmente surgir uma forte e importante consequência prática de natureza legislativa”, defende o Presidente da ANIMAL.

Stop Puppy Mills Throughout Canada! - The Petition Site

Stop Puppy Mills Throughout Canada! - The Petition Site

Puppy mills are large scale operations that force "breeder dogs" to produce litter after litter to support consumer demand for purebred pets. These puppies are sold in pet stores or over the Internet, storefronts that mask the suffering, disease, malnutrition and loneliness of puppy mills. Some die within days or weeks of purchase.

Most people are unaware that when they buy a purebred puppy they are often supporting a cruel and inhumane industry. By choosing not to buy your next pet or any pet supplies from retail stores or Internet sites that sell live dogs or cats, you are directly helping to end this cycle of cruelty.

You can help stop this suffering. Please sign our pledge to stop puppy mills!


I will do my part to help stop puppy mills. I pledge to help end this cycle of cruelty by:
- Choosing not to buy my next pet from a pet store or Internet site
- Refusing to buy supplies from any pet store or Internet site that sells puppies
- Supporting stronger federal and provincial laws to stop puppy mills from operating in Canada

Make America a "NO BIRTH" Nation for Companion Animals!! - The Petition Site

Make America a "NO BIRTH" Nation for Companion Animals!! - The Petition Site: "AWARNESS OF THE DEFINTION AND THE NUMBERS

The companion animal population of the United States is a problem of HUGE proportions. The number of unwanted animals in our nation is astounding. A pet 'overpopulation' is defined as far more dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, than there are available, loving homes for them. 'Approximately six to eight million dogs and cats will be taken to animal shelters in the United States this year (HelpingAnimals.com).' The majority of these animals will face death by euthanization due to the overcrowding. Those not in shelters who are considered the homeless and stray, will face starvation, getting hit by cars, freezing to death, or dying from disease."

Draconian bylaw aims to murder cats & dogs - The Petition Site

Draconian bylaw aims to murder cats & dogs - The Petition Site: "The South African, Cape Town municipality will have a bylaw in effect by December 2008 that will violate the rights of dogs and cats, and violate the constitutional rights of pet owners.

The bylaw will prohibit the owning of more than 'two of a kind' pet. Excess pets will be forcibly removed, and as the animal shelters are already swamped with rescued dogs and cats these dogs and cats will be euthanised!

A 'blanket' approach like this also targets decent, caring, loving pet owners, instead of concentrating on the actual problem areas. The problem is not with pet lovers, the problem is in the economically disadvantaged areas. The public funds mass animals sterilisation clinics. Instead of passing a horrific law like this, the council should rather fund these clinics. In addition the tax payers' money will be better spent on the policing of cruelty to animals than attempting the forced removal of loved and cared for 'excess' pets!

Civil violence is a real possibility. The newspapers are filled with comments from pet owners who will fight to the death anyone who attempts to remove their cared for pets.

This is proposed murder of pets on an unimaginable scale! How can this happen in a civillised society?

We don't have much time left to fight this horror. Please help us to reach our target of 1000 signatures asap. Sign and tell a friend. Because of the urgency of this petition, and the list only being sent once the petition closes, it would help if you write to the mayor of Cape Town. We could flood her inbox with protest emails! Simply copy the 'letter' into your email and address the letter to:

NO, AGAINST WILD BOAR HUNTING IN ROMANIA - The Petition Site

NO, AGAINST WILD BOAR HUNTING IN ROMANIA - The Petition Site: "We, the undersigned, declare our intention not to support, even implicitly, the event organized every year in January near Balc, Romania, by Mr. Ion Tiriac ,ex-famous Romanian tennis player, now a businessman and one ofthe richest man in Romania. We consider that the Balc wild boar hunts, during which the invited guests (foreign and Romanian politicians , big businessmen, partners or potential partners of Ion Tiriac) kill innocent animals each year, are veritable massacres, disguised as entertainment and 'sport' for VIPs. Please, tell them that you know what happens there,tell them sincerely, what you think about these massacres for
amusement.Thank you for trying to save the Romanian wild animals, a real treasure which will disappear, as abused."

Provide Humane Prison Conditions for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

Provide Humane Prison Conditions for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui

We petition Attorney General Michael Mukasey and United States Attorney Michael J. Garcia to provide humane treatment for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui while she remains in the custody of the U.S. government.

Dr. Aafia is a gunshot victim and has suffered unspeakable torture and abuse during the last 5 years of her disappearance and kidnapping in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The prison has been unable to treat Dr. Aafia effectively and insists on giving her dehumanizing and degrading strip searches that cause further harm and prevent attorney visits. Her attorneys have stated in court that Dr. Aafia has become more despondent and fearful about her health and that if she does not receive the proper medical and psychiatric treatment, Dr. Aafia’s health will seriously decline.

Dr. Aafia has the basic right to appropriate medical treatment for her physical and psychological injuries.

Prevent Childhood Malaria Deaths in Africa

No child should die of preventable causes, yet even in age of advanced medical technology, malaria claims the life of one child every 38 seconds. Almost one million children die every year from this entirely preventable disease. These numbers are simply unacceptable!

There are inexpensive, attainable steps we can take to stop malaria in its tracks. Once of the most effective is to provide bed nets treated with insecticide to protect sleeping children - and their families - from mosquitoes that carry the disease (as shown in the video to the right).

How can you help make real impact in Africa - one of the regions struggling the hardest to fight malaria? Join the chorus of voices urging international organizations to put the health of children first! Tell US Fund for UNICEF that you support their efforts to transport and distribute bed nets to villages in Africa affected by malaria and to educate villagers on how bed nets work.

Savage and violent TORTURE of bulls SPEARED to death! (NOT bullfighting! WORSE!) - The Petition Site

Savage and violent TORTURE of bulls SPEARED to death! (NOT bullfighting! WORSE!) - The Petition Site: "The SAVAGE practice of torturing a bull to death with long spears is yet again shaming Spain in the eyes of the world as an uncaring country where extreme cruelty to animals is approved by the government! A bull is chased by thousands of blood-thirsty Neanderthals who terrorise the bull by chasing him on horseback, carrying long spears, cornering him whilst stabbing him with the spears until he collapses, when they cut off his testicles and tail, then kill him, in this most savage of all Spanish cruel ''fiestas''. The ''man'' who throws the spear of death has the 'right' to the bull's testicles and a gold-forged spear and a medal are awarded to him by the council!! This savagery was made illegal a long time ago, but in 1999, the Castilla y León regional government, where Tordesillas (Valladolid) is located, made it legal again, and year after year they stamp the authorisation so that this blood ''fiesta'' can take place again."

PIT BULL BURNT ALIVE! - The Petition Site

PIT BULL BURNT ALIVE! - The Petition Site: "The owners wanted to punish her for jumping over the wall into their neighbors garden, so they fetched her and put her in her kennel and doused it with petrol and set it alight!!

Tammy was only found a few days later by Animal Welfare workers who wept when they saw her. Tammy had sustained such severe burns to her legs, belly and face, she was also blinded by the fire. The SPCA had to eauthenaze Tammy because she was just in too much pain.

The heartless couple could face charges of jail up to a year and fines up to R 200 000. This is not enough for what they have done to this innoccent victim! We plead for the maximum possible punishment!

For every 500 signatures I receive I can send it to the SPCA for use in the prosecution of these people.

Tammy's death will not go unseen, she is an ambassador for all pets around the world! PLEASE help me give these owners a taste of their own medicine?"
