Stop Animal Testing and Abuse in DPZ (German Primate Center) - The Petition Site

DPZ is one of the biggest primate research center of Europe.
http://www.dpz.gwdg.de/
Our aim is to stop animal tests all around the world. But when we look inside this center we can see that same Persons which are working for DPZ Prof. Dr. med. vet.l Franz-Josef Kaup and Dr. med. vet. 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.
Please sign this petition that will be sent to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry in order to change the situation in the centrum and in order to help us stop all animal abuse and experiments in Europe, Germany, DPZ.

Change military policy about animals - The Petition Site



Change military policy about animals - The Petition Site: "General Order 1-A (GO-1A) is a set of regulations formulated by the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) in late 2000, prohibiting the keeping of animals stating the conduct is 'prejudicial to the maintenance of good order and discipline of all forces.'

We strongly disagree with this provision with GO-1A, because it has been proven time and time again that the bond between humans and animals does not compromise character or morale. It enhances them."

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

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:

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.

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.
