Justice For Jack--PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE-- - The Petition Site

Justice For Jack--PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE-- - The Petition Site


Here is the story....
Jack had been effectively abandoned inside of a plastic crate which ultimately became his tomb. By the time that RSPCA investigators found him, he was completely emaciated and surrounded by his own waste.
It was evident that Jack has suffered horribly before his untimely death.
According to prosecutor Andrew Wiles:
“When the top of the crate was removed it was clear the dog was emaciated. There was an inch or more of faeces covering all of the floor except where the dog was laying.”
The judge who presided over this torturous case of cruelty was Judge Michael Kelly. He stated:
“This is one of the worst cases of animal cruelty I have come across.
“This dog was confined in a little cage so small it appears it could barely stand up.
“It was kept there without being allowed out at all for any exercise or freedom and was starved to death.
“You could have released the dog. You could have provided food for it. You were offered help and advice from the RSPCA.
“I can’t think that any human being would have failed to recognise the suffering and distress of this dog.”
Several months before the tortured dog's body was discovered, RSPCA inspectors visited Lockhurst's home and advised that the dog not be kept inside of the plastic crate, offered training advice and even suggested that Jack be surrendered.
Unfortunately for the then 16-week-old puppy, the pair heeded none of the advise.
Instead, the dog was subjected to a dismal existence fraught with torment and agony.
No doubt, the day that Jack breathed his final breath, it was with great relief.
Brunsden has been banned from ever owning an animal again and Lockhurst may face a similar sentence.
The man defending Lockhurst attempted to deflect the blame for this cruelty on the woman's emotional problems and learning disabilities. She has been spending time in a respite center and her sentencing will take place in September.
Regardless, in light of this dog's incredible suffering, there is no sentence which will ever be quite enough.

Save Dre, a Pit Bull in Brighton, CO who has NEVER hurt anyone! - The Petition Site

Save Dre, a Pit Bull in Brighton, CO who has NEVER hurt anyone! - The Petition Site



  • Target: Brighton, CO Animal Control: Animal Control Officer Holly Hosker - HHosker@brightonco.gov; Animal Control Officer Julie Sanders - JSanders@brightonco.gov; Animal Control Officer Cessna Santana - csantana@brightonco.gov ; Chief of Police Clint R Blackhurs
  • Sponsored by: Chloe Divita

On the evening of July 26th, two dogs got out of their home because a child got a hold of the garage door remote and accidentally pressed the button. A family member was watching the kids and didn’t even realize what had happened and that the dogs were loose. The dogs, Dre and Machomotto, were running amuck thru the neighborhood. Dre was barking at people and apparently some lady jumped into her car...for whatever that is worth. Several people called animal control and someone called 911 reporting vicious dogs running loose. Supposedly it took 5 officers to obtain Dre, thou NOT ONE person was injured; bitten or scratched. 

Imagine having 5 strangers chasing you.

The police/animal control released MachoMotto (not a Pit Bull), but have have quarantined Dre (Pit Bull, not even sure if he's full or mix) labeling him "vicious".
Dre has a court date of Tuesday, July 31 at 10:00am and is being hed until then. There is very little time to try to plea to the judge that Dre is not the dog they are labeling him as. Both a Police Officer and an Animal Control Officer have said they will be going to court to plea with the judge to have "the dog" destroyed. To clarify, his name is Dre and he is a family member who has never hurt anyone.

Please sign this petition and show Brighton, CO that falsely labeling a dog who has hurt noone will NOT be accepted! If you live localy, please consider coming to the court and showing your support.

Brighton Municipal Court 3401 E Bromley Lane. 
THIS IS UNFAIR AND UNJUST... DOES HE LOOK VICOUS TO YOU???

Save Dre, a Pit Bull in Brighton, CO who has NEVER hurt anyone!

Petition | END WILDLIFE ELECTROCUTIONS IN COSTA RICA - NEW 2012 PETITION | Change.org

Petition | END WILDLIFE ELECTROCUTIONS IN COSTA RICA - NEW 2012 PETITION | Change.org

Please join our facebook group END WILDLIFE ELECTROCUTIONS IN COSTA RICA -https://www.facebook.com/groups/131978196813647/
The beautiful wilderness and wildlife of Costa Rica should be protected for all residents of mother earth, and for all future generations. 

La preciosa vida silvestre y bosques de Costa Rica debe ser protegida por todos los habitantes de la madre tierra y por sus generaciones futuras.

 
80% loss of monkey populations due to electrocutions, in just the last 10 years, based on scientific studies carried out by Costa Rican biologists. That doesn't even account for other arboreal wildlife mortalities, including birds. Many of these electrocutions happen within national park boundaries. 
[  when we extrapolate the % from the study by biologists carried out from 1995 to 2007, which documented a 50% loss of monkey populations due to electrocution on the un-insulated govt-owned electric grid .. the % goes up to 80 %].

Petition | Stop kitten experiments at Cardiff University | Change.org

Petition | Stop kitten experiments at Cardiff University | Change.org


Created By
British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection


We've  discovered that shocking experiments on kittens have taken place at Cardiff University.
Some kittens were raised in complete darkness while others were deprived of the sight in one eye by having their eyelids sewn shut. The kittens were then anaesthetised, artificially ventilated and paralysed with a drug to prevent eye movements. They were then subjected to highly invasive head surgery during which the skin was cut away, the skull was opened and the brain was exposed for recordings.
After various tests, all the kittens were killed and parts of their brain removed for analysis.
Sophisticated methods of studying vision and the neurologic processes underlying it in human beings already exist. Not only is this experiment inhumane, it is unnecessary for human health.
Ricky Gervais has joined the BUAV in calling for an end to these experiments: “I am appalled that kittens are being deprived of sight in one eye by having their eyelids sewn shut. I thought sickening experiments like these were a thing of the past. I support the BUAV in calling for this research to be stopped.”
Please join us in calling for Cardiff University to end these sickening experiments on kittens and cats.

Stop Kitten Experiements In Cardiff University! - The Petition Site


  • Target: Cardiff University researchers
  • Sponsored by: Olivia Kaged 

Cardiff University have sewn up the eyes of 30 kittens from birth as an experiment. In the name of science researchers from Cardiff University have taken 30 kittens and sewn up their eyes to see the effect of sensory deprivation. This cruel unethical experiment is meant to be a break view for "lazy eye" which effects 1 in 3 children in Britain a year. However only a small percent of those suffering which "lazy eye" have a massive effect in sight because of this disease.
This is funded by tax payers without their knowledge; until a leak in the media by university students who disagreed with the experiement. The experiment its self would of been very painful and stressful for the kittens; it also does not apply with British Animal Welfare laws and pervents the kittens following natural patterns important in their mental and physical growth.
The kittens will now suffer life long phycological effects from being raised in the darkness and removing the stiches would cause great stress and pain to the kittens who have already suffered so much. Cardiff University plans to have these kittens "put down" once the experiment is down. They also plan to redo this experiment at four or five times to see how the results differ.
If anyone else had sewn up a kitten's eyes they would be arrested and charge with violation of animal welfare rights; so why is it okay to do it in the name of science? This experiment did not need to be done; especially in this cruel and crude manner. We need Cardiff University to stop these experiments before anymore innocent and defencless kittens from suffering in the name of "science". A message needs to be sent that science does not put you above the law and that you can't do what you please just in the name of "science"

Stop Scientists From Sewing Kittens' Eyes Shut! - The Petition Site

Stop Scientists From Sewing Kittens' Eyes Shut! - The Petition Site


Scientists at Cardiff University in Wales have conducted a particularly horrific animal experiment. They sewed shut the eyes of newborn kittens to "learn how the brain responds to sensory deprivation." The same experiment--funded by tax dollars--also placed cameras in the kittens' brains.

This research is both sadistic and frivolous. The differences between humans and cats are so considerable that research obtained this way will discover nothing that will save or improve human life.  A United States veterinarian has confirmed that the procedure was extremely painful for the kittens. 

Animal activists are understandably outraged, and celebrity actor Ricky Gervais is leading the charge.Gervais told the Mirror "I thought sickening experiments like these were a thing of the past." Tell Cardiff University to stop conducting frivolous and sadistic experiments on animals!

Bullfighting Isn't Culture, It's Cruelty - The Petition Site


Every year, about 250,000 bulls are killed in bullfights -- stabbed multiple times with barbed lances and banderillas (spiked wooden sticks) before suffering slow, agonizing deaths in front of an audience, including children. 


Now, even though bullfighting attendance is at an all-time low and bans have been enacted by several countries and cities, Portugal  Spain and France are trying to protect this cruel "bloodsport" by getting it listed as a form of "cultural heritage"


Bullfights aren't "fair fights" between a bull and a matador. They're highly staged forms of animal cruelty, sanctioned and subsidized by governments. A UNESCO "cultural heritage" listing would give a veneer of respectability to the torture of animals for public entertainment and mean subsidies may be made available to financially safeguard the future of bullfighting. 


Tell UNESCO: Bullfighting isn't culture, it's cruelty.

Ban Hound Hunting in California - The Petition Site

"Hounding" is an inhumane and unsporting practice where trophy hunters use packs of radio-collared dogs to chase down bears and bobcats before the hunter shoots the terrified animal off a tree branch. Even alot of hunters consider this cruel and inhumane practice unfair and unsportsmanlike.
While mountain lions are protected from the cruelty of hound hunting, bears and bobcats are not.
California State Senator Ted Lieu has introducted Senate Bill 1221. It would ban hound hunting of bears and bobcats in the state of California.  Now it goes for a full senate vote. Please contact your Senators and ask them to vote YES, and support Bill 1221.

Save Wicca from a death order - The Petition Site

Wicca is a beloved 5 yr old American Staffordshire Bull Terrier who has been deemed a dangerous dog by the city of Montreal despite the fact that she only grazed a woman on the abdomen when she spooked her lying next to her owner, on leash on a terrasse. We the people request that Wicca's execution be overturned. Normally, an incident as mild as this warrants a 90 day muzzle order, a fine and an evaluation by a canine professional. Wicca was never given that opportunity . Her case is going to be heard by the court of appeals on July 25th. 2012

SAVE Piggy - The Petition Site

Please SIGN to help SAVE Piggy from an unjust termination.

Piggy is a lovable, eternal puppy that is loved by all...although currently not loved by Riverside Humane officers, her nieghbors, or the jogger that she scared. Piggy has been impounded for scaring a jogger, she did not maul anyone or anything. Her love of the outside world found her on her second offense for escaping the family yard, which is a 1/2 acre, fenced in, secure doggy playground. So that is what happened...now what can be done. Please share her story. Piggy and family will learn her fate, which yesterday (7/19) it has been determined, it is strongly recommended by the courts and the family neighbor, that she be "destroyed". This will happen in now 5 days of her 14 day hold.

Piggy is a Pit Bull. What does that statement mean to you? Well to her family, she is a laughable, eternal puppy, loved by all who meet her, two or four legged. She is surrounded by people pets, and children all the time, because if you knew her family, there is always a reason to celebrate at their house. Piggy's #1 fan, besides her mama, is her 2 year old human niece, Stella. Yesterday, during the hearing, the cries of Stella were heard, while wearing a "Free Piggy" tee-shirt of "PIGGY OUT", "GrAnnie, PIGGY OUT"!

There are families who are not responsible with their pets...this is not the case. Just recently the world was brought to their knees with the case of Lennox, the N. Irelend Pit Mix that was impounded for 2 yrs for measuring to be of a "Pit Bull" type dog, not for any action of his. After the worlds cries to release him...he was "destroyed". Yet less then 2 weeks later a very similar story is being played out in the US.

Please help us release Piggy back to her loving family. We truly believe that Piggy can be saved. Share this group, send information, or just PRAY! Share your stories and photos in support of Piggy, the family pet.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Piggy's loving family and friends

JUSTICE FOR THE 10 PUPPIES BURIED ALIVE in a park in CALARASI-ROMANIA

Monday 2 January 2012 0 comments

Dear friends,
On Dec 28,2012, workers from the Park Services in Calarasi Romania, buried ALIVE 10 puppies, in a park down town, right in front of the Town Hall. Fortunately, the passers by and residents from that area, heard the doggies screams and alerted the Police.All the puppies have been saved BUT, we join the Romanian Federation for the Protection of Animals and the Environment ( FPAM ) and all Romanian animals rights activists, to ASK for the harshest punishments for these individuals who committed such and atrocity.

We hope that the legal complains and the international outrage about this crime, will force the Local Law Enforcement agencies to fully apply the law in force in Romania for the protection of animals, and will punish in the most severe way these individuals.

There might be the tendency to cover up or to find and excuse or , who knows what....and THIS tendency MUST STOP...it is far too common to let let people who commit crimes against animals to walk free, to get a small fine or even not to get charged at all.

The time has come for Romania to implement and APPLY the laws of the land. Romanian Police does not take the Law 9/2008, for the protection of animals seriously, and many times acts as if THIS law does not even exist.

We ask for a thorough and tough investigation and for the harshest punishment of all the individuals involved.

The letter to the target is bilingual.
