Demand Shelter for Stray Dogs in Bolivia

by , in
   In Bolivia, every day hundreds of dogs and cats are abandoned by their owners and / or mistreated by beings who do not appreciate the lives of other living beings. All the time more and more puppies are born in street condition that are continually exposed to dangerous situations.
This year was achieved the implementation of an Animal Abuse Law (Law 700), although this exists, nothing serious has been achieved in the application of it, because all abusers leave unharmed.
Stray's in Bolivia

There are several animal protection associations, which have done a lot of work to raise awareness in most of society, they do not have a shelter, they work because some put their houses to care for some animals until are given for adoption, and in the case of veterinary care leave the donations that are made, but this is not enough, there are cases that cannot be attended because there is nowhere to take the animals.

Help to make Association for abandoned dogs / cats in Ceglie Messapica

by , in

         Hundreds of dogs and cats are left to die in the territory of Ceglie Messapica (BR), since no one has ever taken up the problem of tediousness and what is involved. Many strays are, unfortunately, poisoned, invested, mistreated. Very few volunteers in the area who, while putting our souls and even our own savings, can not cope with the emergency.


 The municipality of Ceglie Messapica should intervene absolutely. Help us, with your signature, to make it clear to those who do not want the foundation of an animal rights association in the territory of Ceglie Messapica, as well as to benefit the same animals, would benefit the same territory.

Stop Cruel Muscular Dystrphy Tests on Dogs

by , in
           At Texas A&M University, experimenters led by Joe Kornegay breed golden retrievers to develop different types of muscular dystrophy (MD), including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is a particularly severe disease. These diseases ravage their bodies, causing progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Studies with these dogs haven’t led to a cure or even a treatment to reverse disease symptoms, even after experimenting for 30 years.

Dogs used for experimental purposes 

Dogs who didn't have the disease but carried the DMD gene were used for breeding. Deprived of loving homes, they frantically paced the slatted floors and bit the bars of small cages in frustration. They didn't even have the comfort of a blanket.

To gauge just how much a dog's muscles have deteriorated, Kornegay has invented a crude technique that could pass for medieval torture: He repeatedly stretches them with a motorized lever in order to cause muscle tears.

Kornegay has been at this for more than 30 years. Puppies in his laboratory who are born with DMD are so weak at birth that they require extra nutrition. By 6 weeks of age, their hind limbs have shifted forward, making walking difficult, and some are unable to open their mouths or jaws.


Illness caused by the tests
You Can Help Put an End to the Needless Suffering!
Please urge Texas A&M University to close their dog laboratories, stop breeding MD dogs, release all dogs for adoption into good homes, redirect their resources into humane research methods and these useless labs need to stop.

Stop Horrific "Dog" Spinning Ritual

by , in

Every year on March 6th, residents of a village in Bulgaria perform a horrific act called "dog spinning” in the mistaken belief that this will prevent rabies and keep away evil spirits. During this cruel ritual, a rope is tied around a dog's chest, and the dog is suspended above a body of water. The dog is twisted until the rope is as tight as it will get, pressing painfully into the poor animal. Then, the rope is released, and the dog spins around wildly. Before the dog even has a chance to catch its breath, it's dumped into the freezing water.


Dog spinning ritual
Participants say that the dogs are not harmed during this ritual, but that's completely false. Some dogs have drowned because they're too disoriented to swim to the surface of the water. The dogs who survive are terrified and traumatized by their ordeal. The ritual was officially banned by the Bulgarian government in 2006, but the law is not enforced, and people continue performing the sadistic ritual.
For years, animal advocates in Bulgaria have tried to put an end to this atrocity, desperately urging villagers to use stuffed dogs instead. But until police officers start enforcing the ban on the practice, it will keep happening, and more dogs will suffer and  die. Sign this petition to tell the Bulgarian ambassador to the United States that you do not want any more dogs tortured and killed  in this  cruel “spinning” ritual.

End the Horrific Dog & Cat Meat Trade in Nagaland

by , in
           Shocking new images have emerged of the cruel dog meat trade in Nagaland, India, where terrified stray dogs and stolen family pets are tied up, stuffed into sacks so they cannot move and transported -- sometimes tied to the roof of a car -- to restaurants where brutal slaughter awaits.
 The appalling new photos were taken by photographer and dog lover Surabhi Jaiswar, who documented the cruelty in the hope that "animal activists take action." And now, it is up to us to speak out against the horror and work to save more dogs from torture and death.
Dog meat trade in Nagaland
Dog and cat meat are outlawed in India; however, the slaughter notoriously continues in this region. In 2016, Humane Society International investigated the "Nagaland nightmare" and found the same extreme brutality.
Some smugglers even stitched the dogs' mouths shut to muffle the animals during illegal transport.
The abuse must not go on. Sign now to urge the Chief Minister of Nagaland to enforce the dog and cat meat ban at once and file criminal charges against anyone caught engaging in this horrific trade.

Save Doja From Being Killed.....!!!

by , in
          My heart hurts for my Doja! She was issued an order to destroy from MACC. I filed an appeal and attended a hearing 8/14. I received notice on 8/16 that the destruct order is upheld. I still believe Doja can be saved and have retained an Attorney to assist with apealing the ruling to the MN Court of Appeals. 

Doja has been in a 3 x 4 enclosed kennel at MACC for 20 days now and will remain alive in quarentine until we beat this. I visit Doja often which are limited to 5mins - she is very sad and wants to come home! I know she misses her Kitty-Koo, furry friend Sushi, and King Charles Cavalier BF, Charley!

Doja
         I made Doja a promise 12 years ago - a promise to show her the love she deserves! Unfortunately Doja has biten people in the past due to provoked situations. March of 2016 she was declared dangerous by MACC. A troubled person going through a divorce and wrongfully filed for unemployment. This person claims my dog bit her - but I believe the marks were self inflicted. This person attempted to blackmail me in hopes I would lie and say she worked for my DJ Company. Not only is that considered unethical and illegal but it was NOT something I wanted to be apart of. If I didn't agree to help this person, she threatened my dog would pay the price. I filed police reports against this person and was approved a no trespassing and a no contact order. This incident shouldn't have counted against Doja but MACC didn't seem to care. 

This recent incident Doja's leash & required muzzle snapped and she approached a man who immediately started to kick her. She reacted by biting him - the man said he was ok and walked away. Shortly after the man came back with a nurse - turns out he is a mentally ill patient in a group home close to where I live. Seeing that the man is under their care they legally had to report it. MACC came shortly after and she has been in their facility ever since.

I am very thankful for the love and support my friends, family, relatives, co-workers, and complete strangers have showed during the past few weeks. 

This whole process has not only been very stressful but expensive as well. 

$2,500 to hire an attorney who specializes in animal law.

$1,000 estimated impound and daily kennel fee's as she continues to be in custody.  

$400 for fines and penalties resulting from the incident.

$500 filing fees

Please help in any amount you can and please help spread the word for Doja so we can bring her home or have her released to an animal sanctuary.

Urge the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to Stop Funding Experiments on Dogs

by , in

These diseases ravage their bodies, causing progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Studies with these dogs haven't led to a cure or even a treatment to reverse disease symptoms. 
Testing done on Dogs
         Video footage shows that Kornegay's appallingly thin dogs were caged, sometimes alone, in barren metal cells and struggled to swallow thin gruel—the only food that they could eat, given how easily they could choke. Long ropes of saliva hung from the mouths of dogs whose jaw muscles had weakened. Even balancing was difficult. Dogs with this condition are also at great risk for pneumonia because they can easily inhale liquid into their lungs. 
      Dogs who didn't have the disease but carried the DMD gene were used for breeding. Deprived of loving homes, they frantically paced the slatted floors and bit the bars of small cages in frustration. They didn't even have the comfort of a blanket.

by , in
          Any animal lover in India would know for sure what conditions our stray animals live in ... Dogs , felines ,cows (who  ironically we call  mothers) suffer tremendously ,and nobody deserves that . I  Recently read on a survey that our country has about 30 million stray mutts in India.  And we have the largest number of rabies victims in the world . 

Stray's in India
             I believe this all can be changed by appropriate laws , their implementation , And love and compassion for all life forms... ban animal cruelty  , breeding businesses when there are millions of strays who need home.Empathy is a trait we have lost touch with... If u don't agree that this situation needs to be taken care of... Just put yourself or your loved ones in a stray animals position for one second, they are beaten around , malnourished,  have broken bones to severe injuries that they carry with them all through their lives and no one cares about them.... And I'm sure you would see why it is absolutely necessary to act ...we have so many animals living on the streets yet we breed exotic animals and make a business out of them.....!! I refuse to believe that our country does not have people with good hearts who want all animals to have a better life... I hope and therefore urge you to sign this petition calling for better treatment and a chance at a better life for all the stray animals...

Implement an Animal Cruelty Registry in New Mexico

by , in
         Animals are poor defenseless beings who cannot speak out for their own protection. That’s why it is so important that people like you stand up to protect them.  
     Under New Mexico laws, a person who intentionally or maliciously kills, tortures, mutilates, injures or poisons an animal can be found guilty of a fourth-degree felony. However, a statewide animal cruelty registry could protect even more innocent animals from abuse and neglect.

Animal Cruelty Registry in New Mexico

Like public registries for child abusers and sex offenders, those who abuse and neglect animals  should face serious, lifetime implications.  

Any person convicted of animal abuse, cruelty or abandonment of any sort needs to be listed on this registry. To be accurate, the abuser’s information needs to be updated on a regular basis.  Furthermore, any person listed on this database should remain there for a lifetime and be banned from any future animal ownership or working with or caring for animals.

Encourage New Mexico to implement and strictly enforce an animal cruelty registry that will help to protect these voiceless, defenseless animals statewide --  sign and share this petition.

Ban Abusing and Killing of Animals in Russia!

by , in
          Year after year, we are constantly witnessing the worst cases of animal cruelty in Russia. Skinner discarded animals from the windows, beaten to death, tied to cars and dragged on the asphalt at high speed, doghantery, strangled with wire, use a variety of sadistic methods while shooting video and laying the network. This often occurs in the presence of children, but once reported in our media. These cases only become more frequent. If today this or that Flayer escape punishment or suffer it is not fully, tomorrow he will think the same about to try their sophisticated techniques in humans.

        Most of the criminal cases never reach court, and those who manage to bring to justice, thereby yielding paltry fines or suspended sentences, is not that enough for such atrocities here:
        The network has the footage and screenshots of the personal pages of Alina Orlova and Christine Hemp (Alyona Savchenko) from Khabarovsk, where they show a cruel mockery of animals. Members of social networks shocking footage that appeared on the Internet. In the photo two girls from Khabarovsk, tortured dogs and cats. Girls take on animal ads "give in good hands", and then mocking them, and the whole process was photographed, videotaped and posted on the Internet. With regard to Alyona Savchenko and Alina Orlova opened a criminal case under article "Cruelty to animals". After them, began to emerge the other names of the people who watched the process of killing animals, and actively assisted in this mainly Ripper. Someone admits this without hesitation, someone denies his guilt. One of the accomplices - 18-year-old was arrested.
           We demand to punish zhivoderok on articles (Part 2 of Art. 245 of the Criminal Code (cruelty to animals), Part 2 of Art. 162 of the Criminal Code (robbery), Part 1 of Art. 148 of the Criminal Code (insulting the feelings of believers), h. 1, Art. 282 of the Criminal Code (incitement of religious hatred). Carry out regarding suspected child sexual abuse, there is a correspondence in which they were going to shoot porn with children and animals, a video in which they take the children on the playground, ask banal questions. We demand also conduct a thorough check of friends and involve all partners in the criminal liability. Apart from the suspects, demanding to inspect in relation to the mother of Alina Orlova, who was her daughter's group, which put the huskies to the photo with the corpses of people. Consider deprivation of her parental rights, that is, .K. the family has two more children.
Similar atrocities happening in Russia is not the first time:
* Egregious cases of cruelty took place in the Arctic. There's a local chef decided to make fun of the polar bear, throwing in food animal firecracker. The video, which filmed the incident witnesses bear writhing in pain, it is throwing from side to side, face and front paws are stained with blood. Bear died a painful death. Over-bear atrocities against torturers get off trifling fine.
* In the city of Kirov, street Northern Ring 9 animals were slaughtered - an adult dog and eight puppies. It happened in the vicinity of car garages and paid parking. About what happened to Andrei Karpov, who was trying to make a dog in good hands ... dogs killed - shot dead. At 15 meters from the garages excavated stumbled upon heating main. On the mountain land lay the body of an adult dog. Her head was folded. Puppy found in the excavation of a heating, they were barely covered with earth.
* In the Ryazan area: the boys tied the cat paws with tape and strapped to the belly powerful firecracker. Then one of the boys set fire to the wick. The animal died. Third party violence took everything that happened on camera ...
Homeless animals - the result of overproduction pets. This is a problem of countries where there is no control over their breeding. According to the World Society for Protection of Animals WSPA one pair of cats over six years is able to give birth to 420,000 animals, and a pair of dogs - 67000 animals!
The main route of homeless animals drawdown - the introduction of mechanisms of strict regulation of breeding owners of their pets. Their uncontrolled reproduction leads to the fact that some of the offspring, sooner or later bound to be on the street, adding to the homeless army.
sterilization program has proven its effectiveness in all civilized countries. The scientists involved in population ecology, proved long ago that only the sterilization of stray animals allows to reduce their number to a minimum. On the contrary, their physical destruction includes natural mechanisms of self-regulation and leads to an increase in their numbers. In addition, animals are exempt from the territory immediately populated neighboring flocks or rats.
Our requirements:
1. The relations in the field of treatment of animals in the areas of human use of animals (animal husbandry, fur farming, experiments pritravochnye station, entertainment (circuses, zoos, dolphinariums, hunting, photo business, advertising), the ritual slaughter of animals, to be fully resolved.

2. Development of high fines system for abandoned animals, a serious criminal penalties for cruelty to animals (not only committed from hooligan motives and selfish).
3. Transition to a humane and effective methods of regulating the number of animals under strict state and public control. Namely:
3.1. A total ban on the killing of stray animals, including shooting and the use of drugs curariform ban on euthanasia of animals, in addition to experiencing unbearable suffering of terminally ill (experiencing unbearable suffering of terminally ill animals are subjected to humane euthanasia after the conclusion of a veterinarian) in the whole territory of the Russian Federation.
3.2. Implementation of strict state control over the breeding of companion animals mandatory vaccination and certification; Compulsory registration of companion animals, chipping; compulsory sterilization of animals, do not present the breeding value; Obligatory taxes for owners of unsterilized animals; compulsory licensing and higher payments for taxes and breeders 
3.3. Introduction on the entire territory of the Russian Federation sterilization program, chipping, accounting and registration of stray animals:
- Implementation of the entire territory of the Russian network of stations of sterilization and overexposure for homeless animals, the activity of which should be transparent and accountable;
- Providing preferential or free sterilization of animals adopted from shelters or owned by low-income citizens;

Stop Dog Meat Abuse in Philippines

by , in
       It is disappointing to see that despite the Philippines strengthening the existing laws against animal cruelty, maltreatment and neglect, dog meat is still being eaten throughout the Philippines in the southern, central and northern parts of the country, as well as the Filipino dog meat trade still active in the north.
        Pet dogs are stolen from people's houses and stray dogs are taken from the streets. Because most of the dogs are not vaccinated, stolen pet dogs and street dogs are being transported together, which poses serious health threats for the spread of diseases such as rabies, cholera and trichinellosis.

Dog Abuse in Philippines

Such risk also severely compromises the Philippines commitment to eradicate rabies by the year 2020.
        The treatment of dogs and cats in the Philippines has notoriously been very cruel and corrupt, which cast a negative light on the Philippines positive reputation as nation of beauty and kindness.
Decades ago, Filipino dog meat was only eaten on solemn religious occasions and those dogs were not brutalized or tortured, prior to, or during slaughter. The modern day treatment of dog meat dogs-and-cats is inhumane, barbaric and places local residents and international tourists in danger of acute food-borne viruses.


We echo's the Filipino Meat Inspection Service's statement: "Dogs, cats and other pets are not food."


We respectfully ask that the President of the Philippines:
- Implement existing laws against animal cruelty, maltreatment and neglect.
- Implement existing laws to halt the abuse of "ritual" dog slaughter and stop the dog meat trade.
- Provide funding for trap, neuter and release programs to prevent street dogs and cats from breeding.
- Implement laws to make owners responsible for their dogs, to prohibit dogs loitering on streets.
- All dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies.

Save & Prevent the ill-Treatment and Slaughter of Abandoned Animals

by , in
     The scandal of the Sanctuary of Fatima in connection with the slaughter of animals is known by many, but no one could still put an end to this cruelty.
     The orders come from the rectory of the chapel, so all dogs that appear Fatima, whether adults or puppies, whether they own or not, are captured by security guards and placed in cages.
Ill Treated Dogs 
       There are dogs for several weeks, suffering cold and winter rain, and hot days in summer. Without food or water, in a minimum space where most can not be moved. There are some security guards who do not take the dogs captured to this site, take them to a home that gives them adopt or owners among their neighbors or co-workers. Good people can not see this suffering of animals that are thus treated but feel powerless with the threat of losing their jobs.
        But there are also two security guards, who do not care about the welfare of the animals, giving them blows on the legs, leaving them bleeding and with large extremely painful cuts and frequently broken legs. These dogs are then taken to this place where they are killed. Who informed us also tells us that there are dogs that live a few days in extremely miserable conditions.
         The Municipality of Ourém has promised (for a long time) to build a kennel to collect the abandoned animals and not to sacrifice them, but as there is no interest in the house nor sufficient pressure for the person who hates this, for the construction of the kennel for the animals near Fatima, will forget this promise and will spend the money they had available for this construction of other works that give more votes.
         The FAA also learned that it is an engineer who depends directly on the rectory of the sanctuary, which leaves the poison (very fast action) to kill some dogs harder to catch. We could not have access to his name, but we know that there is only one engineer with tasks related to the green zone surrounding the sanctuary.
       The situation has become more serious for some time, the dogs placed in the cages, disappear. We believe that they are sacrificed by some sanctuary workers, as dogs bark at night and may annoy tourists, or they may raise suspicions of abuse against animals perpetrated a "sacred" place. We do not know how many animals were killed with the arrival of the 13th of May and with the arrival of the current representative of the Catholic Church in Fatima, but we believe that they were, they do not see any dogs, because the streets were clean, as is always done with a Impressive regularity. This is an abominable situation, the party that calls itself representative of God, an incomprehensible cruelty in a space that they want to make sacred and that they themselves profane with death and blood.
The protection of animals and the applicability and improvement of existing legislation!
