Help fight violence against animals in middle Georgia!

This petition is for the citizens of middle Georgia to voice their disgust about the violence being committed against animals by teenagers. Recently, there were several incidents that have been reported regarding teenagers killing and mistreating animals in Macon, Georgia. www.macon.com/198/story/42942.html, www.macon.com/198/story/43843.html, www.macon.com/220/story/43246.html. The Macon Telegraph reported three boys who burned a dog to death and teenage girl who threw kittens down a storm drain the week of May 14th, 2007. While these offenders are minors and some of these animals survived, this points to a serious problem with middle Georgia’s youth that needs to be addressed. [Read more...]

Animals As Entertainment

FREE MAGGIE

“Maggie” is the Alaska Zoo’s African Elephant that has been at the Ak zoo since 1983, and since 1997 when her companion died, she has been alone. She has a very small inside living quarter, appx 1600 sq. feet ..that is jail-like in appearance. Despite being a herd animal and naturally in dry, hot temperatures, she is alone and spends approximately half the year inside. My family loves the AK Zoo, we love Maggie and want to see her in a place more suited to what and who she is. We have spent time talking to her through the metal bars and watched her as she chewed on sticks and threw them for entertainment. She has a tread-mill that the zoo has designed for her to get exercise, but it has been reported that she will not use it. Please sign to show that Maggie, although loved in Alaska, needs to be in a location better suited for the magnificent animal she is. [Read more...]

Factory Farming- Stop the Brutality. Put an end to the Exploitation, Pollution and the Waste!

Please boycott Factory Farmed beef, pork, poultry and fur products. Why support a cruel industry that kills millions of animals in a violent and inhumane way every year through Factory Farming and Fur Farming and Trapping? Film footage, photography and interviews with meat and fur industry employees is documenting regularly that animals are routinely being scalded, skinned and dismembered while still alive and conscious, on a daily basis across the country. The United States Department of Agriculture was made aware of these violations of the “Humane Slaughter Act” when it was given copies of the Humane Farming Association’s Chief Investigator’s, (Gail Eisnitz) book “Slaughterhouse”, which documents meat industry abuses.

Protect Sturgeon, Source of Black Caviar

Sturgeon have roamed our seas for nearly 200 million years, but over the last few centuries they have declined at a rapid rate because of overfishing to supply global demand for their salty roe, or caviar. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has monitored the sturgeon and caviar trade since 1998, but its actions so far have not stemmed the decline in the species. In fact, some evidence suggests that the Caspian Sea population of beluga sturgeon experienced a 45 percent decline from 2004 to 2005. [Read more...]
