Two cops kill a female dog with a spade and hang her. Justice in Colombia - The Petition Site

The images are very strong: http://www.citytv.com.co/videos/306924/policias-asesinos-de-colombia-jan-30-2011 Thanks to the electronic means http: // www.facebook.com/adopcion.animal.bogota/posts/122863027787050? Notif_t=share_reply
We have known the serious fact demonstrated by a video posted on the social networks facebook and youtube where three policemen apparently graduates and for his accent native to the Atlantic Colombian coast where they keep tied a canine female who they proceed to kill with a spade to then be hung.

Being the Police the first hand of justice and has to be in permanent contact with people so helpless and innocent as it is this animal. In accordance with the animal protection law, having the national police force available ecological police, undermining the peace and moral as well as against good order and justice that the police force protects and preserves we urge to immediately initiate an investigation of the whereabouts of these pseudo-police officers and to be punished accordingly to the order established by this force.

Exert power over the society and the law grants them stain the name of the police and criminals and murderers are being capable of killing and shooting death of an innocent. These three individuals violate the ethical principles and police as the value, transparency, solidarity, respect, justice, discipline, honesty considered by the same police force as a prerequisite for admission to the institution and set out on page online of this force.

These cops should never be near children and vulnerable and should undergo a full psychiatric treatment because they are dangerous to society. The main requirement for police is providing security to all members of society with emphasis on smaller and insignificant, that is the sense of justice.

We claim that this criminal act not to remain unpunished. The FBI says it in his studies related to crime and serial murderers "The acts of cruelty and death to animals is a sign of psychotic behavior" As a society, as citizens we urge the leadership of the National police not to let this event at the impunity sanction and punishment for this atrocity and violence against a defenseless being noble.

hemos conocido el grave hecho evidenciado por video colgado en las redes sociales facebook y youtube en donde tres policías al parecer bachilleres y por su acento oriundos de la costa atlántica colombiana mantienen amarrada a una hembra canina la cual proceden a matar con una pala para luego ser ahorcada .
Siendo la policía la primera mano de la justicia en contacto permanente con personas tan desvalidas e inocentes como lo es este animalito ,en concordancia con la ley de protección animal ,teniendo la policía nacional una fuerza disponible como policía ecológica, atentando contra la tranquilidad y la moral así como contra el bien el orden y la justicia que la fuerza policial ampara y preserva los instamos de manera inmediata a iniciar una investigación que de con el paradero de estos pseudopolicias y sean sancionado como corresponde al orden establecido por esta fuerza.
Ejercen un exceso en el poder que la sociedad y la ley les otorga manchan el nombre de la policía y se constituyen en delincuentes y asesinos que son capaces de matar y filmar la muerte de un ser inocente. Estos tres sujetos quebrantan los principios éticos y policiales como: el valor ,la transparencia, la solidaridad ,el respeto, la justicia la disciplina, la honestidad considerados por la misma fuerza policial como requisito de ingreso a la institución y expuestos en la página en internet de esta fuerza.
Jamás estos policías deben estar cerca de niños y personas desvalidas y deben ser sometidos a un completo tratamiento psiquiátrico ya que son de peligro para la sociedad. El requisito principal para ser policía es brindar seguridad a todos los integrantes de la sociedad con énfasis a los más pequeños e insignificantes es el sentido de la justicia.
De forma inmediata solicitamos a usted que este acto no quede en la impunidad. El FBI ya lo dice en sus estudios relacionados con criminalidad y asesinos en serie %u201CLos actos crueles y la muerte a animales es el indicio de conductas sicópatas %u201CComo sociedad como ciudadanos instamos a la cúpula de la policía nacional a no dejar este acto en la impunidad sanción y castigo a esta atrocidad y violencia contra un ser indefenso y noble.

Prosecute for the senseless slaughter of 100 Sled Dogs! - The Petition Site

Prosecute for the senseless slaughter of 100 Sled Dogs! - The Petition Site


A dog-sled company in Whistler, British Columbia, ordered the killing of 100 dogs in April, 2010, when bookings for adventure tourism slumped after the Olympic Games.

Vancouver radio station CKNW obtained documents revealing that 100 healthy sled dogs were killed in a mass slaughter at Outdoor Adventures Whistler last April 21 and 23.

If that wasn't bad enough, the story actually gets worse. From CKNW: (Warning - this is pretty gruesome reading.)

Worksafe BC documents obtained by CKNW say an employee has been granted compensation after developing post traumatic stress disorder for having to kill the dogs himself over a two day period.

Lawyer Cory Steinberg says the employee "..... ended up having to do it...I guess the only way to describe it was "near misses". It wasn't always a clean, one-shot kill. Inevitably he ended up seeing and having to put the end to some horrific scenes."

Steinberg speaks on behalf of the worker who doesn't want to be named.

In most cases dogs were shot more than once, or had their throats slashed before they were pitched into what is described in the documents as a mass grave. Some were still alive.%u2028

The company didn't contest the Worksafe injury claim. In fact, they even made a correction, where the worker stated he had killed 70 dogs, the company corrected and wrote he had actually killed 100.


According to CKNW, Mary Moriarty, the head of cruelty investigations at the BC SPCA says they are launching an investigation, after reviewing the Worksafe BC file. She adds that it's a dirty secret of the industry that so many dogs are bred purely out of greed.

Moriarty says there appear to have been breaches of the animal cruelty act in the cull and criminal charges are a possibility.

Well, yes. A brief reading of Canada's Animal Cruelty Act states that there is zero tolerance for animal cruelty.

It's hardly surprising that the Outdoor Adventures employee suffered post traumatic stress disorder and is entitled to compensation, but there is no way to grant compensation to those dogs.

Let's hope this heartless organization is prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and that we never have to read about such cruelty again.

Justice for Guerreiro, the pitbull tortured and sexually abused in Sao Paulo, Brazil - The Petition Site



Guerreiro __ whose name, in Portuguese, means "great fighter" __ has lived up to his name.The poor animal was attacked, beaten and stabbed by hooligans for 4 days.He was also raped and sexually abused and had a wire put into his genital organs.Brazil has a sad history for not punishing animal offenders. Usually, unfortunately, nothing happens when these totures are reported to the authorities: they even refuse to make a policial record of the facts.To everyone's surprise and joy the animal survived to this brutality. He was found and helped by local citizens on the 18yh January 2011. The massacre happened on a house at Estrada do Alvarenga, São  Paulo. Please help us to demand justice for him and harsh punishment fot these criminals. This cannot be allowed to go unpunished.

Stop Animal Testing for Cosmetics - The Petition Site



A ban on all animal testing for cosmetics is due to come into effect in March 2013 within the European Union. The European Commission now wants to delay the ban, which means that animals will continue to be blinded, scalded, poisoned, choked and killed in order to test cosmetic products.

This unnecessary cruelty cannot be allowed to continue. In addition, animal experiments are not predictive for the human species, while substitutive tests are scientifically reliable, faster and relevant with respect to human health.

Please sign this petition asking the European Commission to abide by the 2013 deadline and to support substitutive methods by all means. Animal tests must be replaced with in vitro, in silico and -omics technologies using human material.

A Threat to Mima's Welfare (Dog with 4 Legs Brutally Chopped Off) - The Petition Site

A Threat to Mima's Welfare (Dog with 4 Legs Brutally Chopped Off) - The Petition Site

* Target: Violeta Dobreva, Care & Shelter for Everyone and the Honorable Judge of the Civil Court of Dobrich, Bulgaria
* Sponsored by: The Official Facebook Group, Justice for Mima

*URGENT: Pls Sign/Forward, Court Date Jan. 31, 2011*

It was recently announced that Violeta Dobreva (who fostered Mima for only 2 weeks) has been given the green light by a court in Bulgaria to hear her suit against the German-Bulgarian Street Animal Emergency Help NGO for custody of Mima, and have her be returned to Bulgaria after Mima has been living in Germany with her new family for the past 9 months.

We, animal advocates and the officers and members of the Facebook group, "Justice for Mima" with over 35,000 members from around the world including Bulgaria ask for Mima to be left alone. We have closely followed Mima's case from the beginning, since March, 2010 when Mima was found tortured in a village in Bulgaria. All of Mima's 4 legs were brutally chopped off over an old conflict between neighbors. Hers is one of the most heinous acts of cruelty we have come across. It brought thousands of us together to help Mima and bring change in a country where animal cruelty is still not a crime. After all she has been through, she deserves all the love and happiness life has to offer and in our opinion that is with her family in Germany where she has flourished these past 9 months.

Despite her physical and psychological handicap, Mima has been living happily in a private mansion in Germany with her new brothers and sisters (6 handicap dogs and cats from Bulgaria). She has learned to trust humans again with the love and dedication of her adoptive parent, Mrs. Eva Linkogel, a lifelong animal activist and rescuer who has been caring for Mima 24/7. She has also developed a special bond with her best friend Daria, a handicapped dog who is always by Mima's side. For the first time in her life, Mima has learned to be loved and be part of a family. She cannot be placed in a more perfect home. To take this all away would be so cruel and truly devastating for Mima!

We believe Violeta Dobreva's letter of April 21, 2010 to be forthright when she first relinquished Mima early in the case. Mrs. Dobreva should be a person of honor and keep her word instead of pursuing this fight for custody. Real love means selflessness-- set Mima free and let her be happy.

We as a group have never officially taken a side on the custody battle until the news of the court case. Even after Mrs. Dobreva deceived us out of our $8,000USD group ChipIn donation meant for Mima, we still kept the custody separate so as not to hurt the cause. (Incidentally, we still demand that our group donation, which is still unaccounted be transferred to our 2 chosen NGOs to help the animals in Bulgaria as outlined by Nadia Donato in her many messages to Mrs. Dobreva ). In light of the recent news about the court hearing, we can no longer remain neutral on this issue. We cannot sit idly by and let another tragedy happen to Mima without a fight. This is not about Bulgaria vs. Germany, nor is it about the fight for animal rights. We strongly believe this is a fight for one's own personal agenda. Our allegiance is to Mima, not to any country or person involved in this dispute. Mima has touched our hearts; her life means so much to so many of us.

We urge Mrs. Dobreva to drop the lawsuit, end this fight once and for all, and be happy for Mima that she has found the best loving home.

If Mrs. Dobreva still chooses to pursue custody, we are hopeful that the honorable judge will be fair and wise in his ruling and that the outcome will be on Mima's best interest.

Maximum Charges Against Man Who Beat 3 mth Old Pit Bull Puppy to Death! - The Petition Site




Early Saturday morning, New Years Day, a three month old pitt bull puppy was beaten to death; brutally, and intentionally.
When police arrived to the Travelers Inn, downtown Victoria, B.C., after repeated reports and complaints of a puppy crying out in pain and the sounds of someone beating it, a grusome and very disturbing scene greeted them; the puppy on the bed, unresponsive, unmoving....Bloody towels and dog feces were found throughout the suite.

The 24 year old 'man' that was arrested alone in the suite was not the owner of this sweet, innocent and helpless puppy, but was actually looking after it. He DESERVES the maximum charges and sentencing!! What he has done is absolutely, horrifically unacceptable! By his own hands he brutally, intentionally beat and killed, a helpless baby animal in which was left in his care.
According to reports, autopsy showed the puppy died as a result of multiple fractures and internal injuries.

This 'man' should be BANNED from EVER owning, or caring for, any animals; should be charged AND sentenced with the MAXIMUM penalty of the law, and undergo some serious anger/mental evaluations!!! This brutal murder must not go unaccounted for, must not go unpunished!!

Defend the EU Ban on Barren Battery Cages! - The Petition Site




* Target: Caroline Spelman, UK Secretary of State for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
* Sponsored by: Compassion in World Farming

The egg industry has been given a generous 12 years to prepare for the barren battery cage ban that was passed by the EU in 1999. Now, with less than one year to go until the ban comes into force, some countries are claiming that they still cannot be ready in time, and are requesting delays and exemptions. They are even suggesting that the sale of illegally produced battery eggs should be permitted in their country of production.

Any delay or weakening of the ban would mean egg-laying hens continuing to suffer in cramped, barren battery cages where they are denied recognition of their most basic behavioural needs -- scratching for food, laying eggs in a nest, roosting, dustbathing, and even stretching their wings.

Help us to defeat this attempt to derail vital EU legislation by taking action now. Write to Caroline Spelman, UK Secretary of State for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to tell her that there can be no excuses, no exemptions and no delays.

CANNED HUNTING. It's open season on South Africa's Lions. - The Petition Site

CANNED HUNTING. It's open season on South Africa's Lions. - The Petition Site




What sort of person shoots a lion?

In 2007 the then Minister of Environment, Marthinus van Schalk Wyk, created such a lame piece of legislation that today, on appeal by the Association of Predator Breeders, it has been over-turned by a High-Court judge. The result, canned hunting is back in business in South Africa.

it is therefore once again possible to pay upwards of $20'000 to have a captive bred lion released into a small enclosure where you can, from behind the safety of a fence, shoot the animal with your high caliber rifle, (like the proud folk in this photograph).

Clearly this practice is abhorrent, as is the breeding and cruel slaughter of animals for the sole purpose of profiteering.

Please add your signature and circulate this to anyone who will take a moment to add theirs. These magnificent creatures do not deserve this fate, and they need your help to bring this to an end for once and for all.

Tell New Hanover County in Wilmington NC to stop euthanizing pit bulls and chows! - The Petition Site

Tell New Hanover County that euthanizing a specific breed is wrong!
New Hanover County Animal Control has allowed this breed specific murder go on far to long and we have to do something about it.
These pit bulls,chows and mixes of the breed are not allowed to be adopted out at this facility,even puppies are killed because of what the staff decides they are. New Hanover County Animal Control does not even do dna tests on these animals to see if they really are the breed that is deemed "un adoptable" ,this shelter claims they do not have the funds for it,but yet they charge 150 dollars and climbing for people to get their pet out of the pound. Everyone in this county has to pay a registration fee to have their pets in the first place. Where is all this money going?
I called to find out why they dont adopt out these breeds and the answer i got was simply"we cant adopt out those kinds of dogs".......i think this county deserves more of an explanation!
Something has to change,lets start here! Dozens of helpless animals are killed every week there just because of what they are,this is a horrible rule and it needs to be done away with. It is simply peoples ignorance on these breeds that needs to be changed,if people would just opened their eyes and see what great dogs these breeds really are tons of lives could be saved.These breeds are killed even if they are friendly,even if they have been family pets,they are killed because of ignorance! Help me help them and sign today! Please go to www.nhcgov.com to review the rules and regulations of this facility.

Stop Botox Testing on Mice Now - The Petition Site

Stop Botox Testing on Mice Now - The Petition Site




Each year worldwide millions of mice die after enduring the unbearable suffering of Botox testing, in which lethal doses of the drug are injected into groups of laboratory mice to test its potency.

Animal rights campaigners in the United States and Europe have long been urging the leading American pharmaceutical company, Allergan, which owns and markets Botox, to stop testing the product on mice, and to adopt instead one of the reliable, effective alternative tests not using animals.

The test currently used, known as the LD50 test, involves injecting the botulinum toxin type A (the active ingredient in Botox) into a group of mice in sufficient quantities to kill 50% of the animals. Millions of these tests are carried out each year. The toxin is injected into the mouse's abdomen, then researchers wait to see how many of the animals die over a period of 3 to 4 days. About 100 mice are normally used for each test, and each batch is often tested more than once. The mice are first assigned to one of various groups, and each group receives a different strength of the product in order to estimate the strength that kills half of the targeted group.

The antiquated LD50 test, first developed in the 1920's, is cruel and brutal. No pain relief is administered to the test animals, who either die immediately from suffocation after their diaphragms have been paralysed, or may languish over several days with varying degrees of paralysis before being euthanised.

U. S. and European authorities have identified a number of replacement tests NOT using animals that, once validated and adopted by drugs manufacturers, would replace the LD50 test. In contrast to the LD50 test, these alternatives apply modern technology and insights from cutting-edge research in molecular biology and immunology into the toxic effects of botulinum toxin on the organism. The two most promising alternatives are the endopeptidase assay and the neural cell-based assay, also known as "SNAP-25" tests.

The U. S. Food and Drug Administration does not specifically require manufacturers of drugs using the botulinum toxin to employ the LD50 test; rather it requires the "performance of a sensitive potency assay."

Please urge Allergan to show courage and true leadership by validating and adopting one of these humane alternatives.

One Million Pigs Buried Alive in South Korea - The Petition Site

One Million Pigs Buried Alive in South Korea - The Petition Site




Following an outbreak of Foot & Mouth disease in South Korea, the authorities have refused to have animals vaccinated and are instead doing a mass cull. Slaughtered humanely? No! They're burying them alive!

Foot and mouth disease affects all cloven hoofed animals such as pigs, cattle and goats, and any country that has cases of it is unable to export the animals' meat.

The South Korean government has so far refused to vaccinate pigs against the disease and is now slaughtering them in record numbers despite appeals to stop.

On January 4 in one area of Gangwon-Do, 33,900 pigs alone were destroyed, according to the OIE

Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) has said that South Korea's actions contravene international guidelines. Michele Danan from the organisation said: "Live vaccinations are the best route but if they do have to kill them we would prefer that they were at least slaughtered humanely."

The estimated cost of the cull so far is believed to have reached around £230m when a mass vaccination programme would have cost an estimated £63m.

Some animal rights campaigners have criticised the government for putting economic considerations ahead of animal welfare.

The Republic has begun inoculating cattle in some areas and the OIE reported on Thursday that sows and boars are starting to be vaccinated but only in a few locations.

It is believed the live burial of pigs began at Christmas and the figure is likely to climb far above the one million mark.

Joyce D’Silva, Director of Public Affairs for CIWF said: "Compassion in World Farming is appalled that the Republic of Korea is allegedly throwing pigs into pits and burying them alive.

"This is totally contrary to international guidelines on humane culling, which the Korean government endorsed five years ago.

"We urge the Korean government to end this horrendous practice at once and to ensure that, if animals are culled, this is done humanely."

Please sign this petition and send it to all your friends. This type of deliberate cruelty is totally unnecessary and totally unacceptable in any country in 2011
