WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT BY NOVEMBER 4th TO CONVICT THOMAS SPENCER OF
FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY
On January 21, 2001, Thomas E. Spencer beat a young 4-month-old
German Shepard puppy for hours. After hearing the puppy cry and
squeal all morning, his girlfriend finally called the police.

When police arrived, they found Spencer punching the puppy in the
face while trapped between his legs.

Police said the puppy's eyes were swollen shut and bleeding and
Spencer's pajamas and a nearby towel were soaked with blood. The
puppy was in and out of consciousness and later died.

Spencer has been on the run from these charges, and many, many more,
for several years. However, he was captured on June 1st, 2004. His
arraignment is on the calendar for Thursday, November 4, 2004 at 9am
at Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta, Georgia.

Now, we NEED YOUR HELP! We urge you to take action!
*******

What You Can Do:
Please contact the Judge and District Attorney - contact info below.

Send polite letters urging that the hearing be scheduled as soon as
possible.

Ask the District Attorney to prosecute this case aggressively and to
NOT
consider pre-trial intervention, as this is a very violent crime.
Ask the
DA to urge the judge to levy maximum jail time and fine and to
prohibit
Spencer from ever harboring or working with animals.

Urge this same sentence, in your letters to the Judge.

This is an international group, and non-Americans are probably not
that interested as to which animal killer gets elected. If Ralph
Nader was elected President, then maybe green-minded people could
have some reason to feel optimistic, but good guys don't become
President....Um, well, not for two decades or more anyway.

Puppymill Awareness-People Magazine Nov. 8th Issue
Created by Leigha Genduso on November 1st, 2004 at 6:01 pm AST


In this month's issue of People Magazine, there is an article
starting on Pg. 127 entitled "Teen Titans." This article is about
teenager entrepreneurs. One of these budding "merchants" is Timothy
Hampson who is the proud owner of cuddlypuppy.com, who's mother
helps him with the site.

Cuddlypuppy.com is just a mere example of what puppymills are in
true definition. The "breeders" could care less as to where these
dogs are going, to whom or what happens to them. The major priority
in selling these dogs is simply money. There are over 70,000 dogs in
pounds and shelters as we speak, many of them are leftovers from
these mills and back yard breeders, "teacup" or miniature dogs who
have so many health problems that they are dumped off at shelters is
just a tiny example as to why.

This petition is to ask People Magazine to please allow an article
to be put into their magazine about puppymills and rescue dogs, to
try and educate people out there who need to be educated instead of
advertising about a teenager and his mother making money off of
making a careless website to help these millers sell more pups and
pocket a few dollars on the side for it. The November article showed
nothing more then promotion of these types of Internet breeders who
need to be shut down.

Stolen Election 2004

In Election 2000, the Bush regime stole the election and got away with it.  Now, in Election 2004, there is new evidence that Bush and the Republicans have stolen the 2004 election by electronic voting fraud in states with E-Voting without paper trails, scrubbing the voter rolls of Democratic voters, and destruction of paper ballots in heavily Democratic areas.   See the following articles and posts:

Surprising Pattern in FL counties by voting machine type
by Kathy Dopp, Nov. 3, 2004

Detailed County by County analysis in Florida by voting machine type of expected votes based on voter registration of Democrats and Republicans as compared to actual recorded votes shows that Republicans picked up an extraordinary increase in votes only in those Counties which have optical scanner voting equipment.   The disparities are so great that one comes up with the inescapable conclusion that Bush won Florida as a result of election  rigging in Counties using the optical scanner voting equipment.

Florida numbers vs 2000 - something is wrong
by BuckMulligan
Wed Nov 3rd, 2004 at 02:22:13 PST

We have 1.39 million new voters in Florida, and Kerry loses by 376,923 votes?  Most exit polls in Florida showed Kerry leading, yet he loses by a massive 5%?  After looking at these numbers, I can come to only one conclusion. The Diebold machines were rigged.

Fixed - The Stealing Of Another Election
Kerry winning Exit Polls - FRAUD LOOKS PROBABLE,
Nov. 3, 2004

SoCalDem has done a statistical analysis...on several swing states, and EVERY STATE that has Electronic Voting but no paper trails has an unexplained advantage for Bush of around +5% when comparing exit polls to actual results.  In EVERY STATE that has paper audit trails on their E-Voting, the exit poll results match the actual results reported within the margin of error.   Analysis of the polling data vs actual data and voting systems supports the hypothesis that E-Voting may be to blame in the discrepancies. Kerry is well ahead in exit polls, but still losing the counts?

America Blog:  Possible evidence of voter fraud in Ohio
by John in DC - 11/3/2004 02:56:47 AM

I just received a photo a Cincinnati poll manager took this evening, and it seems to be proof of some fishy actions with ballots in Ohio. Bottom line: Note the already-voted-with ballots in the back of the truck with the Bush-Cheney sticker in the back window. Does this prove fraud? Well, it certainly doesn't look good in a state that's already had lots of problems this election.

An Election Spoiled Rotten, TomPaine.com
Monday, November 1, 2004
by Greg Palast

It's not even Election Day yet, and the Kerry-Edwards campaign is already down by a almost a million votes. That's because, in important states like Ohio, Florida and New Mexico, voter names have been systematically removed from the rolls and absentee ballots have been overlooked—overwhelmingly in minority areas, like Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, where Hispanic voters have a 500 percent greater chance of their vote being "spoiled." Investigative journalist Greg Palast reports on the trashing of the election.

Greg Palast, contributing editor to Harper's magazine, investigated the manipulation of the vote for BBC Television's Newsnight. The documentary, "Bush Family Fortunes," based on his New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, has been released this month on DVD .

John Kerry is down by several thousand votes in New Mexico, though not one ballot has yet been counted. He's also losing big time in Colorado and Ohio; and he's way down in Florida, though the votes won't be totaled until Tuesday night.

Through a combination of sophisticated vote rustling—ethnic cleansing of voter rolls, absentee ballots gone AWOL, machines that "spoil" votes—John Kerry begins with a nationwide deficit that could easily exceed one million votes.

Voting Machine Controversy
by Julie Carr Smyth
Common Dreams


COLUMBUS - The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. - who has become active in the re-election effort of President Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the propriety of allowing O'Dell's company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential election.

A race against time
November 7, 2004

There's a real, real chance we're going to lose all
our biodiverse lowland rainforest
- Willie Smits


Willie Smits is working desperately to save the wild
orangutan from extinction. He has only three years,
writes Annie Lawson.
Dr Willie Smits is Borneo's answer to Indiana Jones. A
typical day can be spent anywhere, in the depths of
the dense jungles of Indonesia, lecturing university
students or rubbing shoulders with international
politicians, diplomats and corporate giants.
Such is the frenetic nature of his job that the
Dutch-born tropical forest ecologist, who was knighted
in his native Holland for his conservation work, has
travelled round the world three times in the past
month.
That this 47 year-old - who is in Australia to promote
orangutan awareness and conservation as part of the
International Orangutan Awareness Week - is fluent in
six languages and cuts a dashing figure heightens the
obvious comparisons with the fictional archaeologist.
Saving wild orangutans, which he believes could be
doomed within three years, comes at a price. He has
not seen his Indonesian wife and three sons for seven
weeks but he says they understand his long absences
are necessary to defend Asia's only great ape against
imminent extinction.
AdvertisementAdvertisement
His influence not only resonates in the upper echelons
of the political and corporate world; he has also
captured the interest of the main space agencies
around the globe, which are now helping to extinguish
one of the biggest threats facing orangutans - habitat
destruction through illegal logging.
"When you destroy one part of this beautiful ecosystem
you're influencing thousands of other parts and,
thereby, endangering the survival of the whole
system," Smits says. "There's a real, real chance
we're going to lose all our biodiverse lowland
rainforest in just a few decades from now and with
them we will lose an uncountable number of species.
Mankind will suffer the consequences for sure.
"If you want to have an orangutan population to
survive, you need 1000 individuals, which means that
they need more than 30,000 hectares of perfect-quality
forest without any roads going through. These
fragments of forest of that size - lowland rainforest
with enough fruit trees in it for orangutans to
survive - have become extremely sparse.
"We are now looking at a very sad situation. . . right
at this moment there is not a single population that
looks safe for the future."
The use of satellite technology to track illegal
loggers is shaping up to be one of the biggest
developments in preserving the orangutan and its
habitat.
The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOS, formed
by Smits in 1991, set up the company SARVision
(Synthetic Aperture Radar Vision), which has developed
a dynamic radar monitoring system based on data
supplied by the European Space Agency, Japan AeroSpace
Exploration Agency and NASA. Using a complex set of
algorithms to decode the radar images supplied by
satellites, BOS can detect changes in the forest
canopy regardless of cloud coverage.

Willie Smits with one of his charges: "The world would
be a lot better place if we humans were a bit more
like orangutans."
Photo:Emma Sachsse
Smits says: "We take images of the faces of the people
stealing timber, what equipment they use, and a day
later we leave with a team of police and the army and
we arrest them.
"Since we have started adapting this technology five
months ago, we cannot find any wood thieves any more.
It has a good preventative effect and this is one
thing that gives us hope.
"It is widely acknowledged that 60 to 70 per cent of
all wood harvested in Indonesia is from illegal
logging and, if you add the timber that illegally
comes out of the land preparation of these oil palm
plantations, you're looking at almost 90 per cent
illegal activities in Indonesia and timber
harvesting."
There is no refuge for orangutans enduring the twin
threats of the multi-billion-dollar illegal logging
industry and the black-market pet trade. Poaching
alone, valued at $US1 billion a year, claimed 6000
mothers and babies from the wild in 2003. When you
throw in forest fires, the effects of climate change
and disease, the population of a once abundant species
has been whittled down from 3 million in China,
South-East Asia and India 10,000 years ago to around
50,000 in pockets of Borneo and Sumatra.
No less alarming is the propensity for people to
ignore the reality of these threats.
The frequency and savagery of attacks on orangutans by
poachers and forest degradation by loggers raises
inevitable questions about their potential extinction.
Although many scientists and ecologists are optimistic
about the outlook, Smits' prognosis is disturbingly
gloomy.
He warns that the wild orangutan will lose its chance
to sustain its population within three years.
"It's clear we are losing the orangutans if nothing
changes, so the present trend is directly towards
extinction and, in three years from now, less than
1000 days, it will be too late."
Smits, who worked as a senior adviser to the
Indonesian Government on conservation matters, has
been instrumental in finalising a debt-forgiveness
scheme that could arrest the rapid decline.
Under the deal, the Indonesian Government hands over a
large area of forest to be permanently protected under
the management of BOS.
The Dutch and German governments are close to wiping
up to $US100 million of Indonesia's debt in exchange
for carbon credits under the Kyoto Protocol. This
allows countries that exceed their carbon emission
targets to offset this by buying carbon credits in
less developed areas.
Oil giant Shell has agreed to invest $10 million to
help BOS manage the 500,000 hectares of protected
forest in the Mawas region of central Kalimantan in
southern Borneo, as part of the carbon credit system.
BOS has so far rehabilitated and released 1000
orangutans and has another 550 in its centres.
"This is merely proof of our failing to protect the
wild orangutans," says Smits. "If we had been
successful, we would have been able to close down
these centres
Smits love of nature and animals became apparent at
the age of six, when he developed an interest birds.
Later, he took part in a campaign to set free hawks
and owls.His interest in saving orangutans was
triggered by a chance encounter with a distressed
orangutan at a market in 1989.
He later rescued and released the creature.
Since establishing BOS, Smits has developed a
reforestation method using local tree species.
It is supported by thousands of Indonesians who are
taught forest management and nature conservation.
The Indonesian Government awarded him a development
medal of merit in 1998, the highest Indonesian
conservation award handed to a Europe-born Indonesian.
This is one of many international awards he has
received for his work.
Orangutans, which share 97 per cent of humans' DNA,
have an advanced brain and the ability to understand
language, and they experience many human emotions.
Unlike humans and chimpanzees, orangutans are not
inherently aggressive; rather, they are more peaceful
and altruistic creatures. "The world would be a lot
better place if we humans were a bit more like
orangutans," Smits says.
The depth of his passion is evident when asked to name
his mentor:
Dr Willie Smits will give public lectures at the
Australian Museum, Sydney on Tuesday, the Australian
National University, Canberra, on Wednesday, and
Melbourne University, Melbourne, on Saturday. Visit

PITBULL AWARENESS
Created by Mary-Lou Proctor on November 5th, 2004 at 1:53 pm AST

This is a petition to get FOX News to do a segment on the truth
about pitbulls. How they are not naturally aggressive and how with
the proper respectful owners that make great pets for children and
families. It's time we as respectful owners and breeders show the
public the truth about these dogs instead of hiding behind the lies
and being too scared to say anything in case Pits get banned in our
area. Hiding isn't saving these dogs. Waiting until there is a
policy in place to ban the dogs is too late. We need to pull
together now to help this breed of dog we all love so much.

From Barbara Bagley:
I would like to thank everyone who signed the "Animal Emergency Law" petition.  The petition was created May 4th 2004 and ended on July 4th 2004, gathering a total of 5,777 signatures.  I mailed the petition, including people's posted messages giving reasons for supporting such a law and supportive emails that were sent to me, to my House of Representative "Jim Dunnam".
   Today, I spoke with Jim Dunnam's chief of staff, Tamara Bell, regarding the petition.  She stated to me, she and Mr. Dunnam understood the importance of this issue and supported it.  She also explained clearly to me that Mr. Dunnam is a Democrat, and the majority of the Texas House of Representatives are Republican.  She said that for the past two sessions, the Republicans have tried to overthrow any BILL put before the House by Democrats. 
   For this reason, she has suggested I contact a citizen of Texas whose House of Representative is Republican and ask that they send the petition to their Representative.  If their Representative should agree to create a BILL to put before the House, that Representative can contact Jim Dunnam for support on the issue.  He is willing to work "with" Republicans to get such a BILL passed.
   That being said, if anyone living in Texas, whose House of Representative is a Republican, and you would like to help by sending the petition to your Republican Representative, please contact me immediately at:

Dear Excellency Khun Suwit Khunkitti,

We would like to refer to our letters dated August
14th and September 22nd of this year. Unfortunately we
have not received your reply or comments in these
matters, or indeed any acknowledgement whatsoever.
Furthermore we have not received any reaction to our
petition signed by 50 international Non-Governmental
Organizations that was handed over to you by us on
October 14th at the CITES convention in Bangkok.

Hereby we would like to kindly remind you about the
following matters;

1. Four (4) live orangutans were confiscated from two
different locations during raids by Forestry Police
and DNP officials in the last quarter of 2003. One has
since died at one of the DNP wildlife breeding
centers; three remain at the Kao Prathapchang Breeding
Center in Ratchaburi. These three orangutans are
believed to have been smuggled in from East and
Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. These animals urgently
need to be sent back to Indonesia if repatriation, no
doubt the most desirable option from a conservation
point of view, is to be successful.

2. Nine (9) orangutans were found by one of our
investigation teams at the Lopburi Zoo. It is believed
that five (5) juveniles of this group of orangutans
were brought into the Lopburi Zoo a few months ago. No
import permits according to the CITES convention can
be found regarding these animals. It is therefore
believed that these animals have been illegally
obtained and/or imported. The five orangutans were
taken to the Kao Prathapchang Breeding Center in
Ratchaburi at the end of September, however no police
report was made by the Department of National Parks
although the animals were illegally obtained. We feel
it is very strange that illegal wildlife is not
officially confiscated and that the culprit owners go
free, however as these animals are not bound to any
legal process they should be free to be immediately
repatriated.

3. The Cambodian CITES authorities have repeatedly
confirmed to us that 22 orangutans were smuggled into
Cambodia from Thailand earlier this year. These
orangutans ended up at Koh Kong Safariworld, a zoo on
an island bordering Trat province. We kindly ask you
to look into the illegal trade in orangutans also
where Thailand is used not as final destination, but
also as transit route.

4. At the end of September of this year, Safariworld
did confess in writing to the Forestry Police
Department that 47 orangutans were indeed illegally
obtained by them and were not born at the zoo. On the
4th of October a letter from the Commander of the
Forestry Police to the Director-General of the
Department of National Parks Wildlife and Plants was
sent requesting to confiscate and remove these illegal
orangutans from the zoo, therefore making the DNA
check easier without mixing up the legal and illegal
apes. Safariworld stated they were willing and ready
to hand over these animals; the law mentions very
clearly that illegal wildlife should be confiscated,
and in the case of a confession this should have been
done on an immediate basis. We would like to be
informed as to why no action has been taken by the
DNP.

We again look forward to your cooperation to determine

#2284 From: Rita Fazio <kodiakstar2002@...>
Date: Wed Nov 10, 2004 6:41 am
Subject: Urgent - Emails Needed ASAP- PA puppy miller Daniel Esh wants new barn for dogs
kodiakstar2002
Send Email Send Email
 
PLEASE CROSS POST!
 
URGENT: Daniel P. Esh seeks approval from Leacock Township Zoning Board to
build another barn for dogs. Esh never gives up - we can't either!
 
WHO: Infamous puppy miller Daniel P. Esh
Clearview Kennels
68 Clearview Road
Ronks, PA 17572
 
WHAT: Esh is seeking approval from Township officials to build a bigger barn for dogs. He already confines hundreds of dogs in rabbit-hutch type cages in and behind his old, dilapidated barn. 
 
WHEN: Tuesday, November 16, 2004, 7:00 PM. If you live in the area, please plan to attend this zoning meeting.
 
WHERE: Leacock Township Municipal Building
3545 West Newport Road
Intercourse, PA  17534
Telephone:  717-768-8585
Fax:  717-768-8471
 
WHY:  Esh, as many of you already know, is a REPEAT OFFENDER who for decades
has been in trouble with the USDA, PA State and local authorities. Esh has violated Federal, State and local animal statutes as bureaucrats continue to
look the other way.  Esh has been sued by the PA Attorney General; sued by Leacock Township; cited by the USDA; cited by the PA Bureau of Dog Law for violating its laws and found guilty of violations in municipal court.
 
In June 2003, Esh surrendered his USDA license claiming he no longer wholesales (we don't believe it!). During routine and follow-up inspections,
the USDA inspector consistently cited Esh for violations - many of them repeat non-compliant items. Now, Esh is only inspected by two Lancaster
County dog wardens who rarely, if ever, find anything wrong at Clearview Kennels. How can this be? The Leacock Township zoning ordinance allows a
maximum of 250 dogs per kennel yet Esh has over 600 dogs at any given time. Why? To add insult to injury, Esh is selling puppies over the Internet with
the help of a friend. How can Leacock Township and the State allow this to continue? Why is Esh running the show? Ask them. Demand answers. Demand an
end to this decades-long animal abuse and blatant violation of laws.
 
(For a complete timeline (Word Document) of Esh's violations, send an email
to:
info@...  (njcapsa.org)
 
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
 
E-mail Leacock Township zoning officer, board members and supervisors today and urge them to deny Esh's latest application for a new barn. If you like, use facts from above in your e-mails. The meeting is a week from today. Get your emails and faxes in before Monday, November 15th. Please be polite and respectful.

Fw: MAKING TOURISM IN ARGENTINA??-- ATROCITIES AGAINST ANIMALS

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WELCOME TO ARGENTINA!!!

 

Considered tourist, we have in Argentina several tours interesting to make: 

 

 1) With III the Congress of the Spanish Blood in ROSARIO/ Argentina, in November 04, it makes hunting of dogs by the streets of the city. 

 It directs to the stroll the  Intendant  of Rosario Sr Miguel Lifschitz, approach light trucks, woods and jaws. the Dr Santos, director of the I.M.U.S.A.  Amount of dogs to kill:  limitless, (it finishes when you get tired). 

 

2) If it prefers the low temperatures, with abundant wind, don't let go  to the "SLAUGHTER HOUSE Of the AIM Of the WORLD"..., guessed right, in USHUAIA-Argentina. 

They take to the governors and industralists to it of the zone.  And according to they comment, after of which a reporter showed the atrocities of this place, said "we are going to continue killing".  don't let see hunting of animals,horribly beated, killed , hung like trophies in the fencings, the show worthy of not losing itself. 

 

3) There's a 3º option, in RIO GRANDE,  300km. from Ushuaia, and also has taken them the taste to that custom to kill.  Also there animals are being exterminated instead of sterilizing. 

 

4) Finally, you can visit MAR DEL PLATA, where thousands of tourists take to their dogs of vacations or adopt one for the occasion, leaving left it its luck, after the period of vacations, rather to the luck that will make him run the municipality of Gral Pueyrredón,  KILLING THEM!!!!!!  after to have undergone hunger, cold, despoliation, abandonment by "that  says the best friend". 

 

TOURISTS :  There are unique opportunities of being able to feel the flavor of abandonment by the life of the others and to exercise the pleasure to kill. 

 

To end a dog, cat, horse, or animal that seems to him has arrived at Argentina, does not remain with the desire, if so many civil employees do.. why You not??????

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                               BIENVENIDOS A ARGENTINA!!

 

Estimados turistas, tenemos en Argentina varios tours interesantes para realizar:
 
1) Con el III Congreso de la Sangre Española en Rosario, en Noviembre, haga cacería de perros por la peatonal de la ciudad. Dirige el paseo el Intendente Sr.Roberto Miguel Lifschitz, acercan camionetas, palos y  mordazas, el Dr. Santos, director del I.M.U.S.A.

Cantidad de perros para matar: ilimitado, ( termina cuando usted se canse).
 
2) Si prefiere las temperaturas bajas, con abundante viento, no deje de ir al "MATADERO DEL FIN DEL MUNDO" ... sí, acertó, en USHUAIA. 

Lo llevan los gobernantes y empresarios de la zona.

Y según comentan, despues de que un noticiero mostró las atrocidades de este lugar, dijeron "vamos a seguir matando".

No deje de ver persecusiones de  animales,  muertos a palazos, colgados como trofeos en los alambrados, un espectaculo digno de no perderse.
 
3) Existe una 3º opción, en  Río Grande, a 300km. de Ushuaia, y también les han tomado el gusto a esa costumbre de matar.
También alli se extermina en vez de esterilizar.
 
4) Por último, lleguese a Mar del Plata, donde miles de turistas llevan a sus perros de vacaciones ó adoptan uno para la ocasión, dejandolo abandonado a su suerte, despues del período de vacaciones , mejor dicho a la suerte que le harán correr el municipio de Gral Pueyrredón.
MATANDOLOS!!!!!!  después de haber sufrido hambre, frío, despojo, abandono por "ese que se dice el mejor amigo".
 
Sres.Turistas:
         son oportunidades únicas, de poder sentir el sabor del desapego por la vida de los otros y ejercitar el placer de matar.
 
Acabar con un perro, gato, caballo, o animal que le parezca ha llegado a la Argentina, no se quede con las ganas, si tantos funcionarios lo hacen porqué Ud. no??????

((the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be measured by the way
in which its animals are treated (Mahatma Gandhi)...))

Write now to stop this trade in Bottlenose Dolphins

 

We have just received this news update on the Japanese Drive Fisheries from Marine Connection.  http://www.marineconnection.org/

Responding to an order placed by members of the dolphin captivity industry, the fishermen of Futo, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan have driven a pod of about 100 bottlenose dolphins into Futo harbour. The harbour has been sealed with a net so that the dolphins can't escape. Divers from at least two Japanese aquariums will be arriving in Futo to select between 20 and 30 "show-quality" dolphins for their facilities. Some of the dolphins will be killed for research. What will happen to the remaining dolphins is uncertain at this point.

With this capture there is a great risk that Futo will follow in the
footsteps of Taiji and become a supplier of dolphins for Zoos and Aquariums in Japan and abroad. In order to prevent this, worldwide protests are needed immediately. Please urge the authorities to let the captured dolphins go.
And ask that no further dolphin captures will take place in Japan in the
future.

An Ahimsa ThanXgiving Fast - 2004

Namaste

Oh, no!  Here it comes again!  Those dreaded holidays where Vegans
waffle between:

A) Going to a family get-together and literally suffer through hours
of staring at dead carcasses, watching as others gulp down – not
chewing – these abused souls,

B) Going to a family get-together and endure all those not so casual
comments about anti-Veganism,

C) Not going to these gatherings and trying to arrange a dinner for
like-minded folks,

D) Not going to these gatherings and staying by themselves with their
Tofurkeys,

E) Not going to these gatherings and wondering if we hurt the
feelings of unconcerned/uncaring humans,

F) Not going to the dinners, but arriving afterwards for "dessert"

G) Not going to these gatherings and fasting.

That's right!  I said FASTING.

I will be fasting this ThanXgiving again - this has been a tradition
since 1998.
I hope some list members will be joining me on this day of torture,
death, greed, selfishness and debauchery by doing the same.

My fast is in HONOR/REMEMBERENCE/REVERENCE of the MILLIONS of animals
that are tortured and abused, then slaughtered just for this one (1)
day alone in the U.S.

I am not discussing one (1) day fasts. My fasts run from Wednesday
until Sunday.

Fasting achieves numerous benefits. It is a wonderful way to clean
out the body as far as health is concerned.

Spiritually, it also cleanses the soul.

Originally, fasting was used to 'get closer to the higher being.'

It was also used to rid sick bodies of diseases. This was copied from
watching animals when they are ill. They either eat greens or nothing
at all.

Modern times has shown fasting to be a form of protest.
Gandhi also used fasting to bring his point across.

My fasting tradition has came about when I could no longer go to
family gatherings for this 'holiday' and sit around a table infested
with dead carcass and by-products.
Even the 'religious' holidays were laughable as we traipsed to our
building of worship only to march back to a home full of death,
abuse and chemical irresponsibility.

I have had numerous opportunities to join like-minded folks for a
holiday feast, but prefer to not look upon this holiday as a festive
occasion. Why? Because it also represents false facts throughout
American history. Native Americans were thwarted into slavery and
near-annihilitation by the 'white man' in the name of 'god.' Recent
findings are coming out that there was no turkey - or even any kind
of 'meat' - at the dinner; only fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains.

Then, back to modern times, it always bothered me that after these
dinners, the male attendees would gather together in front of a
television set to watch the bloodsport known as 'football,' leaving
the women (slaves again to the 'white man') to clean up and watch
after the children.

You are invited and welcome to join my discussion list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SoFlaVegans/

Starting next week there will appear articles, information and guides
about the history and hypocrisy of ThanXgiving, as well as how to
cope with the upcoming holidays.
Additionally, you will find ways to fast safely and wisely.
For those who wish to "celebrate" and not fast, you will find tons of
recipes and tips, as well!

As we ready ourselves for Fur-Free Friday, I wish everyone who is
willing to "take the plunge" the best of luck in a successful and
quick fast, and may all of our efforts pay off!

Animals left out in the cold at Nolanville shelter — (11/15/2004)
The city of Nolanville, Texas is in desperate need of a new animal shelter, but a lack of funding has put the project on hold.

The current shelter is only covered by a tin roof, and the concrete slab it is on is cracked.

Employees at the shelter say when it rains outside, the dogs have very little to keep them warm or dry.

To pass a state inspection, Nolanville plans to build a bigger and better shelter, but once the concrete slab is finished, construction will stop.

That's because the city needs more than 1,500 concrete blocks and metal roofing, and does not have the funds to complete it.

If you have any materials including concrete bricks, metal roofing, or if you'd like to donate money to complete the project please call Tom Jones at Nolanville City Hall at (254) 698-6335. -CR

The disappearance of stray animals in ROSARIO, ARGENTINA

 

ANIMAL ACTIVIST GROUPS IN ARGENTINA PREPARE TO BOYCOTT THE 3RD, INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE.   IT IS BELIEVED THAT CITY OFFICIALS ARE ROUNDING UP ALL OF THE STRAYS IN ROSARIO, AND ELIMINATING THEM...HUNDREDS OF DOGS HAVE

DISAPPEARED, AND ESPECIALLY ONE DOG, KNOW AS, BERNARDO.

 

He was an icon of the city - everybody loved him and he has disappeared as well as many others (150 up   to now). Benardo was taken away from the main walking street and appeared wandering miles away on the highway to Buenos Aires (where he could have never been able to go by himself because he didn't know how to get there). Taken back to his home in Rosario, he has vanished for good now. Animal Advocates from Rosario have started a campaign and they have put up the 4th white tent in one of the main squares in the city to collect signatures, but the local government is harassing their boycott by sending police officers and official lorries, in an effort to remove all demonstrators.

 

Dear Animal Lovers,

 

Please help us by sending letters of protest.

A group of former volunteers is trying desperately to get the current Board of Directors to step down at Delco.  I'm sure some of you have seen/signed the petition, but just in case you haven't, here's another article that's in today's Inquirer.
 
That Board desperately needs to be changed; you are all familiar in one way or another with this shelter, and although changes have been made in tht there is a new director, I think the support of a brand-new Board would be of great help to changing things out there.
 
There's nothing in this article or in the Fox TV bit that tells of anything that most of us were not already aware of.  For a fact, we know of much worse conditions (at least for me) that took place in the past.  I personally claim no knowledge for the last year, as I rarely go out there and find some of the staff unbearable (Judy, that red-neck skinny guy with the beard?? Chuck?? Offensive, insulting, etc.  At least they used to work second shift, so had less public contact.
 
If nothing else, we have to try to help them get their list of acceptable rescue organizations in place, so the uninformed volunteers no longer call Klemko and folks like that to pick up dogs. 
 
And if anyone knows Brenda K's proper email address, would you please send this to her, too. 
 
Hi!  If you are getting this e-mail, you've signed the spca survey web
site in the past few weeks (we've literally had hundreds of stories
sent in to us).  In addition to FOX 29's broadcast, the Phildelphia
Inquirer has also been taking a look at the DelCo SPCA.  Please pick up
your local Inquirer today - the article is in the "Local" section
(Section B), on the front page.  Please read the article, as it
provides additional details FOX 29 was unable to cover due to the
limitations of tv news.  Also, please keep in mind that, as sad as it
is, the facts reported by FOX and the Inquirer are really just the tip
of the iceberg.  There is so much more to tell.

If you do not get the Inquirer, you can use the link below to go the
Inquirer web site, or just read the Inquirer copy that we have attached
at the end of this e-mail.  Thank you!

Note:  FOX 29 should be re-running their report this Friday around
10:30pm.  If you missed the initial airing or want to see it again,
please watch.  Also, please tell a friend to watch the report, read the
newspaper and generally just educate themselves about what's going on. 
The majority of the population has never set foot in a shelter/SPCA,
and the best way to promote positive change is to educate the public
about what's really going on.  Thanks!

Joe Boyle
with Jen Coccodrilli, Laura Warren, Karen Bates
(representing many, many other concerned citizens!)

P.S.  If you are interested in going door-to-door to inform the general
public about the issues at the DelCo SPCA and asking the public to sign
a petition to have the current Board step down and be replaced by a
more professional, civic-minded Board, please e-mail Jen Coccodrilli
back at:
jla20@...  (mac.com)
Please send Jen your name and any contact information you wish to
provide (phone, cell phone, address, e-mail etc. - as much as you want
to provide).  We will be announcing a gathering point soon and will
start petitioning in the next few days - sooner rather than later.  The
more people in the general public are educated about the DelCo SPCA,
the better chance for positive change.  Thank you!!!!!

Critics take on Delco SPCA board
The shelter's "kill" rate and other issues are worrisome, they say. A
board member disagreed.
By Sandy Bauers
Inquirer Staff Writer

The Delaware County animal shelter has been plagued by a high "kill"
rate, unhealthy conditions, and poor management, say two former county
SPCA board members, former volunteers, and a nationally known
consultant.

Joe Boyle, a former board member, wrote to Delaware County
veterinarians earlier this month that euthanasia rates last summer were
"consistently remaining well over 85% for stray cats and over 60% of
adoptable dogs," at an overall rate of 70 percent, he said.

Michael Arms, the consultant who inspected the Media operation in May,
said the better shelters had euthanasia rates of 25 percent to 30
percent, "and even by some standards that's high."

Only one person of authority at the shelter would comment. Board member
Harry L. Gray, a veterinarian, said the criticisms were "off base."

"We have done nothing wrong," he said, adding that board members donate
their time. "There is nothing to gain," he said, from mismanaging the
shelter.

He said he did not know the euthanasia rate, although "we don't put any
more to sleep than we have to."

Boyle and Jennifer Coccodrilli, a former volunteer, also said that with
no veterinarian or licensed technician on staff, ketamine, a controlled
substance used as an anesthesia during euthanasia, was administered by
unlicensed staff. Even now, an independent vet works at the shelter
just a few hours a week.

Gray said he provided proper oversight. Coccodrilli said that he was
rarely at the shelter. Minutes of monthly board meetings for 2004 show
that Gray attended only two meetings from January through September.

Erik Hendricks, executive director of the Pennsylvania SPCA in
Philadelphia, said that under federal law, controlled substances had to
be kept in a safe or a locked cabinet in a locked room. According to
Boyle and Coccodrilli, the ketamine is often left out.

The aging facility was also criticized. "Basically, the facility is
falling apart," said Karen Bates, a veterinary technician from
Swarthmore who volunteered at the shelter for about a year before
leaving in June.

Boyle and Coccodrilli said torn metal fencing and exposed wires could
injure the animals.

Arms pointed to what he said was outdated ventilation system and poor
drainage in the outdoor dog runs. "I can almost guarantee... if one
animal has an intestinal virus, they're just spreading it from one run
to the other."

In January, the shelter manager left. By May, the situation at the
shelter had become so dire, Boyle noted in his letter to veterinarians,
that he asked Arms, executive director of the Helen Woodward Animal
Center in San Diego, to inspect it.

"The whole thing is very sad," Arms said recently. He said the staff
was demoralized by the high rate of euthanasia, which is "just wrong.
The animals are just going to go in and die. That's all."

At the same time, Arms said, "I walked through and saw beautiful,
adoptable animals."

Boyle and Coccodrilli, whose criticisms were aired on WTXF-TV (Channel
29), said animals that arrived healthy often became ill because of the
conditions, and then were euthanized.

Former donor and volunteer Laura Warren of Aston, a secretary at
Swarthmore College, said that with minimal to no veterinary care,
animals weren't being treated properly or at all. "They could go in
healthy but come out sick, very sick."

Animals also were put to sleep simply to make space for others, critics
said.

Last week, a New Jersey animal-welfare task force reported that 40
percent of the animals that entered the state's pounds last year were
euthanized. The task force called for additional space and procedural
changes, noting that "euthanasia should not be considered a solution"
to overcrowding.

Chester County SPCA spokesman Chuck McDevitt said that although he was
not familiar with Delaware County's shelter - all SPCAs are independent
- most are at the mercy of "overwhelming numbers" of animals.

A sign at the Delaware County SPCA noted that in the first two weeks of
August, for example, 235 cats and 96 dogs were taken in - more than 16
cats and six dogs each day.

At the end of Arms' inspection, he met with the board and suggested
that they hire an executive director who had shelter-management
experience and who could help raise more money to improve facilities.

"Easy for him to say," Gray responded, when asked about Arms'
suggestions. "He gave us some good ideas, and we're trying to implement
them. But it takes money. And time."

In early October, the board hired Dennis McMichael, 27, as director of
operations. His resume showed that he had done some fund-raising work
but had little experience with animal shelters. He had been a volunteer
dog walker for the Humane Society of the Harrisburg Area. He referred
all questions to board president Marian Riley.

Reached earlier this month and again Friday, Riley would not comment;
she did not return several other phone calls. Four other board members
would not comment; calls to the remaining six were not returned until
Gray was reached.

"It's the most depressing thing you'd ever want to see," Arms said of
the shelter. "You don't see that in this day and age, especially if
they're sitting on top of $7 million."

Arms was referring to the shelter's endowment. In September, board
minutes reported it to be about $8.5 million. Donations go into the
endowment, and operating costs come from the interest generated instead
of vigorous fund-raising, Boyle and Coccodrilli said. So to keep costs
down, they said, the board skimps on upkeep and care for the animals.

Financial records for 2002, filed with a national database for
nonprofits, showed that the shelter had $7.6 million in assets, with
revenue of $565,000 and expenses of $768,000. In 1990, its net worth
was reported at $3 million.

Hendricks said that some consider a 2-1 ratio of endowment funds to
operating expenses to be ideal. "Three- or 4-1 would be OK. Maybe 5-1,
even." When the ratio is 10-1, he said, "they have been guilty of being
too conservative... . That can happen to an organization. They become
more of a bank than a service provider."

Arms told the board that a good, experienced director could make back
his or her salary - and cover other expenses, including raises for the
staff - with aggressive fund-raising.

Minutes from the board meeting in March said the shelter needed two
more full-time kennel workers. "Our starting pay is lower than"
McDonald's, the minutes said.

"They think they're doing the right thing by making sure they're
financially sound," Arms said of the board. "That's OK as long as the
animals are well taken care of because that's what people are giving
their money to."

Ten of the 11 board members have been there eight years or more,
according to Boyle and Coccodrilli, who began amassing stacks of SPCA
paperwork earlier this year to document conditions at the shelter. They
said the board resists change and ousts newcomers who push for it.

Coccodrilli, 33, a pharmaceutical representative from Wallingford,
became a volunteer last year. She said she had adopted two dogs there
and wanted to help improve conditions. She, along with more than a
dozen other volunteers, were let go in June, at the same time that
Riley, the board president, abruptly halted an animal-foster program
they were involved with.

Boyle, 43, a claims manager from Broomall, began volunteering in 2002
and joined the board in 2003. After becoming frustrated in attempts to
help the animals, he detailed his criticisms in an October letter to
the board. He included a demand that the entire board resign.

"I told the board, 'If you really loved animals, you'd step down,' "
Boyle said. They responded by removing him from the board, he said.

Mary Bender, director of the state Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement, said
the bureau performed unannounced inspections twice a year.

On the most recent, Feb. 27, an inspector marked the facility
satisfactory in most areas, but unsatisfactory for rabies, noting:
"Shelter is clean... . Rabies shots need to be given."

Boyle and Coccodrilli said no dogs were vaccinated for rabies from that
point to at least through August.

Except for the dog law, there is no oversight of the SPCA.

Retired physics professor Joe Arbuckle of Media joined the board in
2002 but resigned in March "because I just felt the board was not
moving in the right direction. As I saw it, they weren't really doing
much of anything to modernize the shelter, in terms of the physical
plant, the procedures, the newer techniques.

"I don't think they know what a capital campaign is."

Delaware County Animal Shelter Complaints

Criticisms that Joe Boyle made to fellow Delaware County SPCA board
members in an October letter, in which he asked all the members to step
down to "do what is best for the homeless animals":

Euthanasia rate is "among the highest in the country."

No veterinarian or licensed technician is on the staff.

Medications are "ordered, prescribed and administered by unlicensed"
workers.

Animals are not vaccinated for rabies, a violation of state law.

Healthy animals get sick because of poor conditions.

Outdated and unsafe shelter conditions.

Fiscal mismanagement.

Internet hunting idea has wildlife officials up in arms
Wednesday, November 17, 2004 Posted: 2:38 AM EST (0738 GMT)

HOUSTON, Texas (Reuters) -- Hunters soon may be able to sit at their computers and blast away at animals on a Texas ranch via the Internet, a prospect that has state wildlife officials up in arms.

The Web site already offers target practice with a .22 caliber rifle and could soon let hunters shoot at deer, antelope and wild pigs, site creator John Underwood said on Tuesday.

Texas officials are not quite sure what to make of Underwood's Web site, but may tweak existing laws to make sure Internet hunting does not get out of hand.

"This is the first one I've seen," said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife director Mike Berger. "The current state statutes don't cover this sort of thing."

Underwood, an estimator for a San Antonio, Texas auto body shop, has invested $10,000 to build a platform for a rifle and camera that can be remotely aimed on his 330-acre (133-hectare) southwest Texas ranch by anyone on the Internet anywhere in the world.

The idea came last year while viewing another Web site on which cameras posted in the wild are used to snap photos of animals.

"We were looking at a beautiful white-tail buck and my friend said 'If you just had a gun for that.' A little light bulb went off in my head," he said.

Internet hunting could be popular with disabled hunters unable to get out in the woods or distant hunters who cannot afford a trip to Texas, Underwood said.

Berger said state law only covers "regulated animals" such as native deer and birds and cannot prevent Underwood from offering Internet hunts of "unregulated" animals such as non-native deer that many
ranchers have imported and wild pigs.

He has proposed a rule that will come up for public discussion in January that anyone hunting animals covered by state law must be physically on site when they shoot.

Berger expressed reservations about remote control hunting, but noted that humans have always adopted new technologies to hunt.

"First it was rocks and clubs, then we sharpened it and put it on a stick. Then there was the bow and arrow, black powder, smokeless power and optics," Berger said. "Maybe this is the next technological step out there."

Underwood, 39, said he will offer animal hunting as soon as he gets a fast Internet connection to his remote ranch that will enable hunters to aim the rifle quickly at passing animals.

He said an attendant would retrieve shot animals for the shooters, who could have the heads preserved by a taxidermist. They could also have the meat processed and shipped home, or donated to animal orphanages.

A possible animal transport solution for everyone. 

Please crosspost to every animal group everywhere. Please forgive if this is a duplicate. Contact Ann Ak4252@... to help, discuss, etc.
 
  
I was thinking about other methods of transporting animals and I
discussed this with a friend of mine. He is a hobby pilot. Hobby pilots often 
fly around in empty planes. They just like to fly. Some of them would love a 
reason to fly somewhere. Like to transport animals to rescues or forever homes.

Now, some of these people are rich and they won't want anything in
return for flying. Others aren't rich but love to fly and would do it if they
were paid the gas  money.

There are small airports everywhere. Just going to the airport  and
posting would be good but getting to know the people would be great. And not 
difficult. They are usually smallish places where a lot of people know
each  other and the person who runs the place knows everyone.

This is the first phase. Get to know the local private airport people.
Find out who flies for fun. Those who fly for fun besides helping homeless
animals could get a tax break on their gas and if they rent their planes they
could write off the rental costs to charity if done through a nonprofit. Is
this a win, win? I think yes.

The second phase is to find out who flies to certain places regularly.
If it is for business, then the business writes it off. If it is for 
pleasure, a great tax write off once again. They may do it either  way.

My friend mentioned that the Air National Guard are always looking to
fly. I am planning on contacting them in my area. This could be another great
resource.

Please respond with your thoughts.

Ann

INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST I MISTREAT TO BULLS IN CORIA AND THE REST OF EXTREMADURA

PLESE, SPREAD!!!!:   "PROTECTORA PARA LA DEFENSA DE LOS ANIMALES-BAHÍA DE CÁDIZ"

The "Asociación Nacional para la Protección y el Bienestar de los Animales" (ANPBA) Spain, jointly the german organizations "Iniciative anti-corrida" (IAC) y "Animal 2000" and the british organization "Fight against animal cruelty in Europe (FAACR) they have initiated an intense international campaign with the intention of calling the attetion of the entire world with respect to the cruel one I mistreat which the bulls and heifers are put under, used in the popular bullfighting spectacles of Extremadura.

The city council of Coria has been chosen (townhall of coria, caceres) between all the other frontier city councils, being the "maximun expont" of the torture animal in extremadura, world-wide known by (acerico bulls) shot with arrows by the assintants with hundreds of blowpipes that send "SOPLILLOS" on their eyes, nose and testicles.

Mainly buy that covers literally to the animals when being in movement.

They send hundreds to them of "SOPLILLOS" that nail in their meats, are "BANDERILLAS" in the streets, and decapitated, in the streets by the public or killed with gun

We are videos that demostrate the vercity of everything what here it is being denounced in fact in places like Moraleja (caceres) The heifers are "DEGOLLADOS" (decapitated) by the public in the middle of the streets after the confinements and once killed .They are gatheredby trucks an aberration without limits that us repeated in hundres of extremadura

 Mr president distinguished Mr European Spanish organizations has informed to me about the suffering to wich the animals (bulls and heifers) in the spectacles are put under that are celebrated in coria and the extremadura rest, during the celebration of san juan I am scandalized the bulls are toruted during hours with darts and "BANDERILLAS". He is inconceivable that extremadura region in wich animas are tortured until the death, while a legislation is not promulgated that prohibits all these cruelhes with animals

In fact extremadura already is sadly well-know by the "Burro de Pero Palo" of Villanueva de la Vera

kindly, full name, country, city-…

The organizations who have informed to me are FAACE (fighr against animal cruelty in Europe) united kingdow (IAC) (iniciative anti-corrida) Germany animal 200 germany tierlobby de-germany ANPBA (national association for the protection and the well.being of the animals) Spain

 

SAMPLE LETTER

 

 Excmo. Sr. Presidente, Distinguidos Sres., Organizaciones europeas y españolas (*) me han informado acerca del sufrimiento al que son sometidos los animales (toros y vaquillas) en los espectáculos que se celebran en Coria y en el resto Extremadura, durante las 'Fiestas de San Juan'. Estoy escandalizado. Los toros son torturados durante horas con dardos y banderillas. Es inconcebible que esto ocurra en el siglo XXI. No viajaré a Extremadura, región en la que animales son torturados hasta la muerte, mientras no se promulgue una LEGISLACIÓN que PROHÍBA todas estas crueldades con animales. De hecho, Extremadura ya es tristemente conocida por el "burro de Pero Palo" de Villanueva de la Vera.

Atentamente,

Subject: help the dogs

 

 

L.S.

 

The StraydogsCampaign is getting many requests for help and we review each seperate request very carefully. This because our time, means and human resources are limited and we like to make sure that the help we offer is effective and that is goes to that project which needs help the most at that time.

Unfortunately we have to disregard most of the requests with nothing else we can do but point them to other organisations.

This time however, we received a request that we believe realy needs our and your support very badly.

 

Through Banu Erguder, former employee of the SHKD, we received a request regarding 2 ladies in Instanbul. Both of these ladies have dedicated their lifes to the dogs and they are both living among and with the dogs for years and years on two adjecent, fallowed pieces of ground.

 

This dogcentre exists of two parts. One part is occupied by Cemile who is taking care of approximately 100 dogs there. Some 50% of these dogs are small (mixed)breeds and the other 50% are medium sized (mixed) breeds. And then there are about 4 large (mixed) breed dogs. Often people bring her even more dogs. Cemile lives on the same site as the dogs in a small, 1 room wooden  building that was donated to her as well as 4 containers. The site on which Cemile lives with the dogs has no electricity or running water.

There is a watertank and the municipality will fill the tank when needed. But that is all the help she is getting from the municipality.

There are 2 women that help Cemile with the medical expenses, if needed, Cemile can take a dog to the veterinary clinic and these 2 women will pay for it. Another woman is helping by sending bread three times a week for the dogs. And a caring gentleman has donated the use of his car, 6 times a week, so a search for food by hotels, restaurants and factories can be held.

 

The dogs and their current shelters...

 

In the other part of the dogcentre lives Nilufer together with 300 dogs. For the past 19 years she has cared for hundreds and hundreds of stray dogs all by herself. Half of the 300 dogs here are medium sized dogs, the other half are big sized dogs. And there are about 10 tiny dogs, Yorkshire Terrier sized. Nilufer receives less support than Cemile and therefore she is spending 2 till 3 hours a day only with collecting some food for the dogs.  After that, she's another 5 till 6 hours a day busy feeding the dogs, providing them with water and with cleaning the terrain. Nilufer has 2 containers that were donated to her for the dogs. All dogs in this part are neutered/spayed and were vaccinated some time ago. Like Cemile, Nilufer has no electricity or running water available to her. She too has a watertank that the municipality fills, if needed. There is one woman helping Nilufer with the medical expenses of the dogs.

 

This past summer both ladies and the dogs had to move because the site they used for their dogcentre was being sold.  Luckily both ladies found a new site and with the help of a lady who has donated fencing materials and with the help of a company who donated labour, the current sites are now fenced in and the new site for the dogs is ready as described above.

But when they were moving from the previous site to this current location, many of the dogshelters fell apart due to the miserable condition they were in. Most of Cemile's dogs will be able to get through the winter with the help of the containers that can be used as shelter for the dogs. But for Nilufer's dogs there is not nearly enough shelter for the dogs to find some form of protection from the elements. There are 150 dogshelters needed to provide each dog with a shelter. And with winter approaching rapidly, urgency is needed.

During the course of this story, you will have noticed that there is no money going on in this dogcentre, goods and services are donated...but there are no financial means whatsoever.

 

The shelters that did survive the removal....

 

Because this dogcentre is completely depending on the unpaid work of these two ladies, the donations made by some caring locals and the kindness of a few bakeries that donate bread, there is no possibility whatsoever that money can be found or raised for the 150 dogshelters that are so badly needed.

 

With the images of Istanbul, last winter, still in mind, the enormous amounts of snow, the cold temperatures, the StraydogsCampaign is convinced we need to do anything in our power to help these dogs make it through the winter.

 

Look at our own dogs, nice and warm curled up in their basket, on their own dogbed maybe...or perhaps even curled up on or in our own beds. And to think that these dogs in the dogcentre will have to survive the winter outside, cold and wet, with no protection from the wind, rain or freezing cold, then we simply must be able to help these dogs.  

 

We will inform you on our website about this "Help these dogs through the winter" action. There, you will find the updates on this action and we will inform you about the exact amount of dogshelters the action has brought in up till date.

 

The costs of one dogshelter, including materials and labour, are 25 euro.
