[quote]Did you know that animal testing does not even accurately
measure the effect the product may have on a human?
This video, which contains no graphic imagery at all, explains
why this is not only unjustified cruelty, but flawed
science.

trust ANY advertising until you have fact checked it.
Corporations in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or whatever are KNOWN

DO, they "do it humanely" for the good of human civilization.

Shoot 'em, Shut up and Shovel 'em is the sick, twisted and cruel
mantra of Government funded Predator "Control" that ends up
killing countless domestic dogs and non-target raptors and even
some livestock!
Poisons that have been illegal for decades are being used by the
government!
Please spread this video everywhere to stop this horror as soon
as we can. Natural predators like mountain lions and coyotes
aren't the problem, BIG AG is the problem! >:(

Demonstration against animal testing in Paris
 Krisztina Kupi
 May 2nd, 2014
 Animal Rights
Last Saturday afternoon about 200 people demonstrated in Paris
against animal testing in scientific research, according to AFP.
On 26 April, activists gathered in Paris’ Place de la République
for the abolition of animal testing in scientific research. The
demonstration was organized by International Campaigns, an
activist collective for animal rights.
All the participants in the demonstration were dressed in white
and formed a silent and static triangle while waving boards that
denounced animal research, animal testing and vivisection. The
demonstration took place as an event related to the World Day of
Laboratory Animals, held every year on April 24.
Activist leader Eric Moreau told French news agency AFP:
The demonstration has a double purpose. One of the goals is to
denounce the fate animals have in laboratories and mainly to
demand authorities to fund and develop research methods without
animals. These methods already exist but they are grossly
underfinanced. >:(
As citizens, we are here to show what laboratories do not want
to show behind their walls. But we also know that the priority
to make things develop is the massive and generalized funding of
methods that do not involve animals. Animal testing is a
political problem.
International Campaigns, a French activist collective for
animals, was founded in 2003 and since then they have organized
international and local campaigns to raise public awareness of
animal rights and the sad fate of laboratory animals. Besides
their demonstration against animal testing held in Paris, they
have recently organized several campaigns all around France to
raise awareness of a diet without animal products.
As the organization says on their website, they hope to make
people think about the brutal exploitation of animals which is
usually motivated by the pleasure or profit seeking of humans.

More Openness on Lab Animals
HTML http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TzWpwHzCvCI/T_sBEnhCCpI/AAAAAAAAME8/IsLpuU8HYxc/s1600/nooo-way-smiley.gif
Dozens of U.K. research groups agree to publicly disclose more
information about their animal subjects.

WIKIMEDIA, JANET STEPHENS
Pharmaceutical behemoth Bayer used 142,084 animals—primarily
mice and rats—for research in 2013. Posting these data online,
the firm illustrates where public disclosure is headed in the
U.K. in terms of how—and how many—animal subjects are employed
in the service of science. Dozens of research organizations in
the U.K. this week (May 14) signed an agreement to more openly
share information on animal studies.
“For many years, the only ‘information’ or images that the
public could access about animal research were provided by
organisations opposed to the use of animals in scientific
progress,” Wendy Jarrett, the chief executive of Understanding
Animal Research and the chair of the working group that
developed the Concordat on Openness on Animal Research in the
U.K., said in a statement. Signatories of the Concordat,
including professional societies, biomedical companies, and
universities, agreed to disclose when, how, and why they use
animals in research and to be more open with the public and the
media about animal research. [img width=80

Simple Solutions for Coexistence of Wolves and Livestock
Suzanne Asha Stone, Defenders of Wildlife | June 18, 2014 11:26
am
The night sky was completely dark except for the light from the
Milky Way when I heard the dogs starting to growl. They could
hear movement in the woods near the sheep bedgrounds and were
automatically on guard. Wolves were denned not far away but I
couldn’t yet tell what had the Great Pyrenees on edge. A few
sheep baaed sleepily in response to the growls. The band of ewe
sheep had been anxious lately after their lambs had been
separated from them to be shipped to market. In the starlight, I
could still make out the snowcapped peaked of central Idaho’s
majestic Sawtooth Mountains across the valley.
[img width=640
height=380]

The wind stirred fluttering the aspen leaves in the trees around
me as the dogs starting circling around the sheep, growling
deeply. In the distance, a wolf howled and filled the valley
with his lonely song. Coyotes quickly chimed in over the hills
to our east. I scrambled out of my sleeping bag and searched for
my flashlight but couldn’t find it. I did find the telemetry
scanner and flipped it on. Given the summer temperatures, the
Forest Service had set a ban on campfires and I could feel the
sudden chill of the damp night air. I hadn’t slept well earlier
that night because of the noise from the sheep band. The ewes
were calling for their lambs until they finally settled down.
Even calm sheep are noisy at night though. Whoever invented the
fable about counting sheep at night to get a restful sleep had
clearly never spent the night with the wooly beasts. ;D My
teeth were chattering as I scanned for radio signals. Bingo. The
loud steady beep confirmed that the alpha male was close by.
This was my first night on my own at sheep camp as part of the
new wolf guardians program, and the year was 1999. I listened to
the two dogs as they paced. They were growing even more
defensive. A wolf howled closer this time from the direction of
the telemetry signal and then gave two short warning barks. Oh
great. A train wreck was getting ready to take place.
Wolves are usually wary of dogs but these wolves had pups nearby
to protect. I had warned the sheep owner that moving his band
toward the den site would likely cause a reaction from the
wolves as they perceive that the dogs are just funny looking
strange wolves and strange wolves are a serious threat to their
pups. The dogs started barking loudly and charging toward the
sound. I didn’t have any more time to look for my flashlight or
my boots. Instead I grabbed the first things that I could find—a
metal pot and a wooden spoon—and charged out toward the
direction of the signal clanging away on the pot and yelling at
the top of my lungs. Seconds later, I could hear a large animal
running away through the brush and splashing across the small
creek. Half an hour later, the dogs settled back down and I
spent the rest of the night watching for falling stars. I
counted dozens before I finally drifted off to sleep before
dawn.
That night happened 15 years ago; just five years after wolves
were reintroduced to Idaho. It was the beginning of my efforts
to help local ranchers adapt to co-existing with wolves using
nonlethal deterrents to protect their livestock and to help keep
wolves from being killed in response to preying on sheep and
cattle.

Nonlethal tools like fladry—hanging strips of fabric from fence
lines—have proven extremely effective at deterring wolves from
livestock without killing them. [img width=40

Nonlethal deterrents were ridiculed in those early days. I knew
that telling people that I chased off a wolf with a wooden spoon
and a metal pot wouldn’t help convince the skeptics so I didn’t
share that part of the story with many of the managers at the
time. ;) ;D Fladry was a brand new tool being tested (and
laughed at) >:( in the Salmon River country. Radio activated
guard systems that blared out everything from the sounds of
helicopters to rifles firing to rock music ::) when they
detected a wolf’s radio signal were being tested and revised for
broader use. Few ranchers were willing to embrace these new (and
some very old) techniques

and were encouraged by

Services’

revolutionized the fladry system by making it electrified. His
wife Carol built miles and miles of the new “turbofladry” by
hand on her sewing machine. Rick received a national award for
his innovative efforts from USDA, yet many of his colleagues
[img width=100

to the ranchers like they accepted wolves on the landscape when
most

This week, we held a workshop and field tour highlighting more
than a decade of refining and adding new nonlethal tools to our
program at the site of the largest nonlethal wolf and sheep
coexistence project in the region. In central Idaho’s Sawtooth
National Forest—a sheep superhighway and also wolf
territory—Blaine County ranchers, county, state and federal
agencies, and local wolf advocates are working together to
effectively resolve conflicts using nonlethal wolf management
and livestock husbandry methods. These methods include
deterrents like fladry, livestock guard dogs and electric
fencing, that dramatically reduce or eliminate livestock losses
and build social acceptance for wolves. And the results are
undeniable. For the last six years, a total of more than 100,000
sheep and lambs have grazed across this area amidst wolf packs.
Yet fewer than 30 sheep have been killed in the project area
during this time, and no wolves have been killed by government
agencies in the project area.
These nonlethal control methods are cheaper than lethal wolf
management, and Blaine County also has the lowest rate of
livestock losses in the state. If you’re interested in learning
more about these methods, let us know. We’re always eager to
encourage those who have an open mind on the value of working
together to resolve conflicts effectively by protecting both
livestock and wolves.

Virginia C o ckfighting Case
Friday, October 10, 2014 - 5:00pm
In May, the ASPCA assisted in the rescue, removal and sheltering
of more than 550 birds from properties associated with c
ockfighting in Virginia. Five people charged in conjunction with
the case have now received sentencing, and today we have an
update on their status.
HTML http://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/exagerent/police/enprison.gif
On Thursday, a federal judge sentenced Kentucky man Walter
Stumbo, 51, to 18 months in prison. His wife, Sonya Stumbo, 51,
and their son, Joshua Stumbo, 33, each received ten months.
Sonya Stumbo was convicted at trial and the other two pleaded
guilty to multiple charges, including possession of an animal
for use in animal fighting.
In addition, Wesley Robinson, 57, and his son Jonathan Robinson,
33, each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to operate an
illegal gambling enterprise and illegally conducting c
ockfights; one count of transporting fighting roosters across
state lines; one count of transporting bird fighting knives
across state lines; and one count of illegally distributing
oxycodone.
On August 27, Wesley Robinson was sentenced to six months in
prison. On October 8, Jonathan Robinson was sentenced to join
his father in prison for a sentence of one year and one day.
“The cruel and inhumane practice of c o ckfighting has no place
in civilized society and is against federal law,” U.S. Attorney
Timothy J. Heaphy said in a written statement. “We will
vigorously investigate and prosecute individuals who attend,
facilitate, or profit from the misery inflicted on animals
during these barbaric fights.”
In the aftermath of the raid, the ASPCA has learned more about
the illegal c ockfighting operation. Known as the “Big Blue” C
ock Fighting Pit, the enterprise in McDowell, Kentucky, featured
arena-style seating, multiple fighting pits and a restaurant.
The Robinsons reportedly brought the birds from Wise County,
Virginia, to Big Blue on weekends, and spectators allegedly
travelled from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, and other
states to attend fights at Big Blue.
“Big Blue” had approximately 5,000 members. Entrance fees ranged
from $250 to $2,500, and over $90,000 in cash was seized at the
Stumbo’s home.
