Stop puppy mills. Adopt a shelter pet

Please Help Ban the Sale of Dogs and Cats in pet stores

Dear Friends:

Social Compassion in Legislation is pleased to announce an upcoming milestone in the fight on puppy/kitten mills and a big step in animal welfare protection. On Monday, the West Hollywood City Council will consider passing an ordinance that will ban the sale of dogs & cats in pet stores (except shelter animals)! This will eliminate an outlet for mass breeding cruelty!

Click here for more information from WeHoNews.com

If you would like to send an email in support, please send it to the West Hollywood City Clerk, Mr. Tom West at: twest@weho.org, and he will distribute your emails to the Mayor and Council Members prior to the vote Monday night.

Here is a sample email:

To: Mayor Abbe Land and City of West Hollywood Council Members:Jeff Prang, John Duran, John Heilman, and Lindsey Horvath.Subject: Ordinance to ban dog & cat sales in pet stores

Dear Mayor and Council Members,

I support the ban on pet store sales of non-shelter animals. Virtually all pet store animals currently come from cruel, large scale puppy and kitten mills. I applaud the continued leadership of the City of West Hollywood in the protection of our companion animals. Over half a million animals die in California shelters every year costing the state hundreds of millions of dollars annually. These pets deserve a home first. There is no reason to sell animals bred specifically for sale, when there are so many loving animals already waiting for homes.

Thank you for your compassion and leadership,

(Your name, address and group name or affiliation if applicable)

This is just one of the exciting projects SCIL has been working on. The projects include the upcoming launch of the much anticipated California Spay and Neuter License Plate, and also several pieces of legislation that we will be telling you about soon.

Thank you for your participation in helping California’s animals.

Best regards,

Judie

Judie Mancuso President, Social Compassion In Legislation (SCIL)

A 501(c)(4) non-profit organization focused on reducing pet overpopulation through legislation.

In Memory of Fallen AR Martyr Jill Phipps

Jill Phipps

On Wednesday 1st, February 1995, 31 year old protester Jill Phipps was crushed to death under the wheels of an export truck carrying baby veal calves into Coventry Airport. Despite the fact that nearly 100 officers were on duty that day, 10 of the 33 protesters present had broken through police lines and attempted to bring the lorry to a halt by sitting on the road and attempting to chain themselves to it.

Jill Phipps died fighting for animal liberation. Her fight lives on

Jill and the thers mistakenly assumed that police officers and the lorry driver would respect human lives a little more than those of the animals being sent to their deaths, sadly they were wrong. The police on duty allowed the export lorry to continue making progress, despite the clear safety problems, and the vehicle was only halted once Jill had been crushed beneath the wheels. The Crown Prosecution Service decided there was not enough evidence to charge Stephen Yates with Causing death by dangerous driving.

Jill Phipps

Jill Phipps brother Zab commented, “Jill was crushed and died on the way to hospital. Our mother, Nancy, was with her. The driver has not been charged, not even with driving without due care and attention”.

A protester at the scene commented “Jill died after police waved on the lorry carrying the calves despite the fact that protesters were still occupying the road the lorry was to go down. Despite their public claims to the contrary, Warwickshire police were so keen to protect the business of this filthy firm that they had made little effort to ensure the way was clear”. Assuming the road to be clear after the police had signalled him to move on, the truck driver moved off at speed, knocking Jill down and crushing her under his wheels.

When the earth has been ravaged and the animals are dying, a tribe of people from all races, creeds and colors will put their faith in deeds, not words, to make the land green again. They shall be known as the WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW. Projectors of the Environment. Jill was one of those people.

Donate to Jill’s memorial Fund

www.jillphipps.org.uk/jillsFund.htm

The Jill Phipps Fund was formed to help finance Jill’s Day 2005 but it is also as an ongoing way of raising money for campaigning and sanctuaries. Any amount of money you can donate would be very much appreciated, so please consider making a donation in Jill’s name and help keep up all the great work that Jill’ s fund does to remember her life and honour her beliefs.

Greed kills the forest, the flowers, the trees. Greed kills the reptiles, the birds and the bees. Greed kills the animals, tortured and lain. Greed kills the Earth with foul acid and rain. Greed kills the ocean, the river, the stream. It was greed that killed Jill. It can't kill her dream!

Stop dog abuse in India

STOP DOG ABUSE IN INDIA – The Petition Site

tortured and murdered dogs in India

Dog is considered Man’s best friend but it is proving to be the reverse in this case. The picture that you see is a specific incident that took place in Meerut, India. You can follow this link http://meerut-incident.synthasite.com/ and see the entire horrific incident that took place there. But it is not only Meerut; it happens all over India. In Kerala hundreds of dogs were culled before the president arrival. And they were beaten to death. The torture of the dogs is endless. This petition tries to raise the awareness. Your voice and your signature is their survival. The more you sign and the more you ask people to sign can put an end to this. LET’S BRING A CHANGE.

Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India

India is the only country in world that provides in its Constitution for mercy and care of the animals BUT here’s proof that the Meerut administration has unleashed shocking brutality on the stray dogs in the area to protect & shield the ILLEGAL CATTLE SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

For the government of Uttar Pradesh state, India and its functionaries it seems like a perfect solution that people are venting out their anger by killing ALL and INNOCENT dogs. It suits the bureaucracy as it does not to bother the SLAUGHTER HOUSES and STOP the EVER FOURISHING TRADE OF Illegal CATTLE MEAT INDUSTRY in Meerut.

In a tragic incident, a five-year-old boy who had gone out in search of his mother in a field, has been attacked and bitten to death by a pack of street dogs at Kazipur, Meerut. As a result the villagers are eliminating each stray by brutally killing them.

They are ostensibly ‘remedying’ the situation that led to death of two children in village Kazipur, Meerut, allegedly due to stray dog attacks. In fact, there is an illegal abattoir in village Kazipur, which is violating every possible norm – pollution control, animal waste disposal, etc. Apparently, 5000 animals, mainly cattle, INCLUDING COWS are slaughtered in the abattoir every day – and then, the animal parts that are not used, and blood, bones, etc., are all allowed to flow into an open nullah adjacent to the abattoir, that flows through village Kazipur and beyond. The strays of the area feed on these animal remains as a consequence ; or attacked children who ventured too close to the nullah that is their food source.

THIS IS THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE ADMINISTRATION TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS WHILE PEOPLE TAKE LAW IN THEIR HANDS. PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE ACT OF KILLING DOGS AS AN ENTERTAINMENT FOR THEM (see pictures).

In any event, what has followed, and continues to unfold every single day, is murder, and cruelty beyond belief. They are caught, they are cornered, many have been viciously beaten to death. The dogs are caught in the most brutal manner possible, kept without food and water for 2 – 3 days until a sizeable number are ‘collected’, and then – mainly released into the forest, or surreptitiously put down or beaten to death AS NO LAW AND ORDER IS RESPECTED IN MEERUT anymore.

INCLUDING THE POLICE, D.M., MAYOR, or U.P. GOVERNMENT, no one is bothered to stop/ control people from taking the law in their hands and brutally slaughtering dogs using innovative methods, which also includes use of arms and weapons.

All this despite the SUPREME COURT of INDIA has put a STAY AGAINST ANY KIND OF KILLING OF DOGS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

Series of photographs are attached, forwarded by Jeev Karuna Sanstha, Meerut. Some of them are 15 – 25 days old, and some as recent as 3 – 5 days.

The Animal Welfare Board of India has written thrice to various functionaries within the administration. They have advised the administration regarding the correct method of controlling stray dog population. They have apprised them as to the law – the PCA Act, the ABC Rules, etc. They have offered help and guidance, for setting up the requisite sterilization, immunization infrastructure within Meerut. Eventually, they have threatened legal action, but to no avail.

PLEASE lets all write to them & Let them know that we know what is going on and we condemn the government and their functionaries for loosing the control over law and order in their state & one small city and for protecting an ILLEGAL SLAUGHTER HOUSE of CATTLE.

Chief Minister of UP,

Kamini Chauhan, the D.M., Meerut ;

Municipal Commissioner ;

Mayor ;

Meerut Police ;

Rakesh Jolly, the S.P., Meerut ;
