[b]I AM POSTING THIS PETITION AGAIN!!! EVERYBODY PLEASE SIGN IF YOU HAVEN'T YET...


http://www.ptroa.co.il/petition/index.php

It is my hope and prayer that in this letter I may convey to you my deepest grief over the fur trade in China. Dogs and cats and other animals are skinned alive....ALIVE! This is well documented and there is much proof of this horrific practice in these meat markets. Animals are living, sentient beings and they feel every bit of fear and pain in this brutal and inhumane death. These animals are beat and clubbed so that they are somewhat unconscious and then a slit is placed in their fur only enough for a finger to force the rest of their skin to be removed as the animal writhes in pain. This is animal abuse of the worst kind. I cannot imagine the horror of the last moments of these vulnerable and helpless animals. I have heard it said that the Chinese people do not regard animals as anything but things to be unjustly and immorally treated to achieve only profit. Is this true sir?

In the discovery of human cruelty in China, the face of China has become face of horror to many United States citizens who see animals as the valuable and faithful friends they are. I ask that you, the spokesperson for China, would change the countenance of China's face from horror and unimaginable cruelty to one of compassion and mercy for these animals. At present there are no animal welfare laws that would provide protection and justice for these animals being skinned daily.

I ask that you urge China to enact an animal welfare law that will prohibit the cruel handling of dogs and cats and other animals at the markets and during transportation.

I urge you to stand as a voice of compassion for these animals so that the United States and China could stand as allies against such incredible brutality and inhumanity against living, breathing and feeling beings. I believe that you are a man of courage and compassion, two lethal weapons against the evil perpetrated on these animals and I have every confidence in what you will do to stop the fur trade brutality.

We the people are the voice for the animals who can't voice their objections, to being caged, and starved, live in fifhty conditions, trucked by the thousands for days in heat, cold wind rain, to be tormented and thrown to the ground. Where their real hell begins.

Universal Declaration of Animal Rights, Revised 2011[u[/b][/u][u]

Why this is Important

Given the last time the UDAR was updated was in 1989.
We believe it is way past time it be brought up to date for the year 2011.

Let us first state the definition of "Sentience"

we know that animals are sentient, that they feel pain and pleasure and that they have interests of their own that have nothing to do with being a mere resource for humans. Joyce Tischler - ALDF

What exactly makes human beings sentient and animals looked on as property, "not sentient" Are we not intelligent enough now, in the 21st century. To realize, that yes, like human beings, animals have all the 5 senses we do.

They see, hear, smell, taste and touch. They bleed as we bleed, feel pain as we feel pain. Not only physical, but emotional as well. They are Aware of themselves. Are capable of emotions: anger, sadness, love, joy, happiness, grief. They have minds that are intelligent, capable of learning, thinking, figuring out how to do things. They have a language, just as we do. Although we may not understand their language. That does not make it any less valid. They, understand each other. And it seems, often understand us and our language far better than we are capable of understanding theirs.

And so it stands to reason. That only the Arrogance of humanity, can justify "using", "owning", "looking upon" animals as property, to be done with however we choose. The time has come for this to change. Human beings are not "Better" than "animals" . We are merely Different. And there is no longer a justification to interfere with their right to life.

Hence we propose, the Revised Edition
Universal Declaration of Animal Rights

Take Action Against Bulgarian Dog Spinning!

Target: Bulgarian embassy, Mayor Petko Arnaudov
Sponsored by: Advocate for Saving Dogs

Dog-spinning - in which dogs are suspended over water and spun repeatedly before being released to spin wildly in the other direction, disoriented and terrified - is still practiced to forecast prosperity is some remote Bulgarian villages. This ancient ritual of pagan origin was also performed in order to prevent rabies.

I encourage you all to write to the Bulgarian embassy.

US address: 1621 22nd St., NW,

Stop Animal Testing In Germany! Example: The LPT (Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology)

The LPT (Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology) is one of the largest contract laboratories in Germany.
On their website, they openly state that they carry out tests on the following animals:mice, rats, rabbits, guinea-pigs, hamsters, dogs, monkeys, pigs, cats, fish and birds. They also state that chemicals may be tested on these animals in the following ways: oral (diet, capsule, gavage) intraperitoneal intravenous injection, i.v. and s.c. infusion, dermal, inhalation, intravaginal, intraarticular, rectal and conjunctival sac administration.
One can only imagine the pain a living being is experiencing during these tests. The animals suffer daily until they die one day - not one animal leaves this laboratory alive! They either die during the tests or are killed afterwards.

Demand Investigation Against US Soldiers Killing Sheep with a Baseball Bat

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/demand-investigation-against-us-soldiers-killing-sheep-with-a-baseball-bat/

(there is avery disturbing video of that event available)

Target: EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson

Goal: To stop the animal testing element of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencies endocrine disruptor chemical testing plans.

Despite advances in safe animal-free testing methods the United States Environmental Protection Agency still plans on using extensive animal testing in its upcoming endocrine disruptor chemical testing plans.

There are at present 134 chemicals on the EPA’s list of chemicals that can potentially harm the endocrine system of humans and other animals.

This is an important test due to the fact that endocrine disruptors hamper the body’s hormonal regulation system that can affect both growth and reproduction. Unfortunately the EPA’s planned methods for conducting these important tests are outdated and inhumane.

The plan to screen this list of chemicals will take multiple years to complete and kill an estimated 80,000 animals during the course of the testing procedure. This will not only impact the huge number of animals killed, but also provide difficult to interpret results that will be of minimal use in protecting humans from harmful chemicals.

Rather than put these animals to death for extremely debatable results, the EPA should look to a program it has already spent millions of dollars developing. This program which is named “ToxCast” has already been used to profile the endocrine activity of more than 300 potentially toxic chemicals.

ToxCast was also used to great effect to study the health effects of oil dispersants used in last summer’s oil spill in the Gulf Coast region. The confidence boasted by the EPA in this program makes its reticence to put ToxCast to use in its upcoming endocrine disruptor tests even more perplexing.

The EPA has the means to utilize methods that will yield concrete data less open to interpretation than animal testing, the time has come to call for them to put it to widespread use and forgo archaic methods of questionable value.

Save these 80,000 animals as well as the countless thousands more that may be employed by future testing—put ToxCast to work on this study.

Help Dancing Bears of Punjab (Pakistan)


These poor Animals are brutally tortured to be trained as dancing Bears, they are kept in a very poor condition with very insuffucient diet in very small tents. These unfortunate Bears are used to entertain people and collect alms, they are living beings and not born to be made as an funny entertainers. In civilized societies this cruelty towards Animals neither can be accepted nor tolerated, so why should it may be happening anymore in Punjab.
